Her eyes, which had been trembling in shock, gradually blurred with sadness.

Hannah shook her head, covering her mouth with her hands to keep from making a sound.

Tears fell to the floor.

"Hannah, don't cry."

Astelle wrapped her arms around Hannah's shoulders.

The tears continued to flow from Hannah's cheeks until they touched Astelle's shoulders.

"Lady Astelle......the fact that I wasn't by your side when you needed me the most...... I'm so sorry......"

The two hugged each other and shared warmth in the quiet bedroom where the dawn light permeated.

Hannah did not ask who the father was.

Hannah had seen Astelle who passionately loved Kaizen up close.

She also saw her deposed and left after getting married and spent her first night.

After that, what happened to her?

She did not ask who the child's father was and where he was now.

Astelle decided to just tell the truth.

She no longer had to lie to Hannah.

No, she didn't want to lie to Hannah anymore.

"He is the emperor's son."

She whispered quietly into Hannah's ear.

"Theor is His Majesty's son. I changed his eye color with a potion. You have to hide his identity. If it is discovered that he is the prince, Theor will be in danger."

We must hide this secret until we return home, until we are safe.

There was no need to elaborate further.

With Astelle's brief explanation, Hannah will be able to understand what happened before and after.

Hannah stopped crying and lifted her head.

She swore to Astelle, wiping her damp cheeks.

"I will help you, even at the cost of my life."

Fortunately, Theor was refreshed in the morning.

"Blynn!"

As Theor got up, a dog lying under the bed ran up to the boy and licked his cheek.

Theor grinned and hugged Blynn.

"Theor, are you okay now?"

"Yes!"

Theor patted Blynn's fur and looked up at Astelle.

"I'm hungry."

Astelle smiled relievedly.

Hannah, who was watching, also smiled.

Theor's complexion has improved and he has regained his vitality.

The doctor who came early in the morning also examined Theor and gave a definite answer.

"You've recovered quickly. The young master appears to have been born with a very healthy constitution."

Hannah brought a thinly fried potato pancake and hot soup for Theor.

After Theor had fully recovered, he emptied the food Hannah had brought.

Astelle walked out of the bedroom after watching Theor eat breakfast.

Astelle went into the study with her grandfather and said, "We must leave as soon as Theor recovers."
