How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 68

There were not many people with such a constitution.

Lintail is a fruit commonly used in the capital, so everyone enjoyed eating it.

Astelle is the only person in her family with that constitution.

In the past six years of living in the eastern countryside, Astelle hadn't seen Lintail fruit.

Naturally, Theor had never eaten Lintail fruit since he was born.

'Maybe Theor also resembles my constitution......?'

Astelle thought about it, but she couldn't get it out of her mouth.

It was a thought that should not be expressed in front of Kaizen.

Because Theor is now Astelle's cousin's son.

'Maybe......maybe not.'

If not, it was a bigger problem.

Because it meant he was sick.

Astelle looked at Theor with confusion.

Fortunately, the carriage came to a stop soon.

When the three arrived at the mansion, the maids came out to greet them, but when they saw Theor, everyone stopped in shock.

Hannah jumped out from among the maids who watched in surprise.

"Lady Astelle? Young Master Theor......"

"Hannah, please prepare a wet towel. Theor has lost consciousness because of a severe fever."

At Astelle's urgent explanation, the mansion became as busy as if it had been bombed in an instant.

Hannah brought a towel, and the other maids ran to call the doctor.

Astelle laid Theor down on the bed and wiped his forehead with the towel Hannah had brought.

The heat was so intense, the cold wet towel on his forehead quickly became lukewarm.

"Your Majesty."

A doctor from the Imperial Palace came into the room.

It was the doctor of the emperor whom she had met once when she fell sick with a fever during the tour.

The doctor looked closely at Theor, frowned, and tilted his head.

Then he asked Astellse, who was standing next to him with an anxious look.

"It's strange. It doesn't seem like a special disease. Did the Young Master eat anything special? Like a food he has never had before?"

"......he ate fruit, but I don't know what kind of fruit it was."

Astelle answered without confidence and looked at Kaizen.

Kaizen looked out the door.

One of the guards who was waiting in front of the door came inside.

"What did you find?"

"The cup handle did not contain any poisonous ingredients. The vendor selling the drink was not suspicious at all. The ingredients are all three fruits."

The guard said the names of three fruits.

All three were common fruits found in the capital.

One of them was the Lintail in question, which can only be eaten in the capital.

The doctor asked Astelle again, who was silently listening to the guard's explanation.

"Is there any fruit that Young Master has never eaten? Does he have a sensitive reaction?"
