How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 75

Astelle returned from the garden and opened the side door of the mansion with the key she had prepared in advance.

Hannah turned her head slightly to Astelle, then turned back and quickly walked down the street.

Astelle watched as Hannah and Theor disappeared into the darkness of the night.

***

Two days later, Astelle sat down in front of the dressing table.

In front of the mirror sat a pale woman in a white dress.

Hannah came closer to her.

"Lady Astelle, I'll do your makeup."

Astelle closed her eyes.

She was very tired because so many things were happening at the same time.

Hannah's low voice could be heard.

"Don't worry too much, Lady Astelle. The marquis and the young master must have left safely."

"Yes, I hope so."

Theor and the marquis had already left the capital two days ago.

Today Astelle is going to the ball.

It was a charity ball held in the banquet hall of the imperial palace in the name of Astelle's mother.

The ball that Kaizen told her to attend.

The ball, which was supposed to be held on a small scale at the duke's mansion, became a grand ball to which all the nobles in the capital were invited.

She had no idea what was going to happen there.

But no matter what happens, Astelle will prevent the aftermath from reaching Theor.

Hannah smeared the powder on Astelle's pale skin and slightly colored her lips with light pink powder.

The dress was the same dress she wore at the ball before.

She left all the dresses Kaizen gave her at Dentsu Castle.

However, this dress was tailored to fit Astelle's body, so Hannah tucked it into the luggage bag, saying there was no need to leave it.

She tried to sell it after she got home because she never thought she would wear it again.

She wore the same dress and the same shoes she had worn at the time.

She stood in front of the mirror, wearing silk gloves, holding a feather fan Hannah handed her.

In the mirror stood herself the same as that night.

It was like going back to the night of the ball that was held at Dentsu Castle.

At that time, she danced with Kaizen and begged him to send Theor home, but she was rejected.

'I can't fail again this time.'

Now it was different from then.

Kaizen now realizes that Astelle is Theor's biological mother.

He was angry with Astelle when he learned that fact.

Asking her to come to the ball is probably to bully and wield her.

However, Kaizen did not yet know that Theor was his son.

Astelle has lost one thing, so she must protect the remaining one.

Hannah took a step back after finishing the preparation.

"Lady Astelle, it's done."

Astelle went downstairs.
