How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 80

Astelle was a little surprised.

It was the first time in her life that her well-behaved older brother treated their father like this.

"What, what? What did you just say?"

"I told you not to insult Astelle."

"How dare you! To your father......"

Then I heard loud footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps were rapidly approaching from down the stairs.

knock knock.

The door opened with two knocks.

Behind the door were men in Imperial Knight uniforms.

Lyndon with the knights came in and greeted Astelle.

"Lady Astelle, I apologize for visiting you in the middle of the night."

"It's okay, Sir Lyndon. What's going on?"

Lyndon glanced at the duke beside Astelle, then bowed his head politely.

"By Your Majesty's orders, the knights will guard this mansion from today onwards."

There was a heavier and longer silence than before.

"Why do they have to guard this mansion?"

A confused expression appeared on Lyndon's serious face.

Astelle noticed what he was trying to say.

'Lady Astelle is the one who received His Majesty's proposal...... Of course, you need to be protected by the knights......'

That's probably the reason.

Lyndon did not dare to be so frank but answered as euphemistically as possible,

"It's His Majesty's orders."

There was no one who could not understand the meaning of those words.

"I am leaving tomorrow."

"Are you leaving?"

"Are you leaving?"

The duke was more surprised than Lyndon.

"I have already obtained permission from His Majesty the Emperor."

Of course, it was before I got proposed to at the ball.

"I am sorry, Lady Astelle. You cannot leave this mansion without His Majesty's permission. I am really sorry."

"What if I want to go out for a while?"

"You can go out as much as you want. But the knights will accompany you."

"......"

I was about to leave the capital tomorrow, insisting that I have permission.

Considering that they even came at me straight away like this, I don't think they would let me go so easily.

However, I didn't know that I would be locked up in the mansion and monitored.

Astelle barely suppressed the rising anger.

"Am I imprisoned?"

I can not leave the mansion and return home, and I must be monitored by knights to go outside.

It was certainly confinement.

"Oh, it can't be. We will protect Lady Astelle to the end. You can meet your family as much as you want. This is not confinement at all."

Lyndon hurriedly denied it, but there was a deep sense of guilt in his innocent eyes.

He also seemed to agree with the word 'imprisoned' in his heart.
