Astelle knew why her grandfather had said this.
Astelle's mother gave birth to Fritz and her body weakened, so she could no longer have children.
But her father, the duke, ignored the doctor's warning not to have children and had her mother give birth to Astelle.
He said, "Do your duty because I need a daughter to become the empress."
It is said that after tormenting her mother every day, Astelle was born.
The marquis had advised her not to give birth, but she wanted to give birth to the baby in her womb.
However, she eventually gave birth to Astelle and died not long after from the aftereffects.
The duke always told Astelle that her mother died because of her, so in order not to let her mother's death be in vain, she must work hard to become an empress.
Astelle followed her father's instructions, feeling guilty about her mother's death.
The maternal grandfather who lost his daughter did not hate Astelle at all.
Astelle, who was watching from the side, stopped her grandfather belatedly.
"Grandpa, don't deal with him and go to Theor. Theor is waiting for me alone under the parlor table."
Astelle was worried that Theor might come here while waiting for her.
The marquis understood the meaning of Astelle's words and turned around quickly.
"Yeah. There's no point in dealing with him."
As the Marquis went out, the Duke of Reston frowned and he turned to Astelle.
"Who is Theor?"
"Did you just say this and that but you don't even know his name? Sigmund's son's name is Theor."
The Duke of Reston clicked his tongue offended.
"Why do I have to know the name of that lowly blooded child?"
"After you have said all you have to say, return the belongings of the late Empress Dowager and go back to the mansion. Before I call the attendants to take you out."
It wasn't a threat, Astelle was actually planning to chase him away.
The duke finally gave up and raised his hands, perhaps reading the seriousness on Astelle's face.
"I brought the belongings here. What's more, there's nothing but trifles. I'll leave them behind, so take them to the countryside or do as you please."
Then he called the servants he brought.
Two servants went inside and brought large boxes.
"Are these all?"
"Do you think I've hidden a few?"
"But you're such a person."
The duke was stunned.
"You have changed a lot."
Kaizen also said something like that.
After six years, did he think she would still be the same?
How can she go through such things and not change?
Astelle was about to open the box, but this time a maid working in this mansion came in.
"The gift has arrived for Lady Astelle."
"Gift? Who sent it?"
Maybe Kaizen sent something again.
Astelle left all the dresses and jewelry that Kaizen gave her as they were in Dentsu Castle.
