How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 84

Astelle was in the study on the second floor.

I was often told that Astelle spent time there as she had nothing to do.

Kaizen, who was in front of the study room door, opened the door hesitantly and went inside.

Astelle, who was sitting by the window, looked at him and got up.

"Your Majesty?"

Astelle looked tired.

Her white skin was pale and the corners of her eyes were shaded.

Is it so difficult to stay here?

I told the courtiers to take good care of her so that there is no inconvenience.

'It must be because she is worried about her child.'

The figure of Astelle, who cared for Theor affectionately, flashed before his eyes.

Astelle and Theor looked happy.

The light green eyes looking at the child were full of affection.

When the two were together, there was always a peaceful and happy feeling around them.

But now Astelle looked tired, lonely, and exhausted.

I felt bad when I saw her like that.

I wanted to make you feel comfortable.

But it became like locking you up here and making you suffer.

Still, Kaizen could not let Astelle go.

He has already ordered the preparation for the wedding in the imperial palace.

No matter what happens, I will officially hold a wedding ceremony and bring her to the imperial palace.

"I have something to tell you."

Kaizen was silent for a moment as if he was choosing his words.

Even though he swore firmly that he would never let Astelle go, he couldn't say anything when he saw her tired face.

If I tell her about this, she will be shocked.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong?"

Kaizen approached Astelle with a sad face.

"This is about the Marquis and Theor."

Astelle's face turned pale in an instant.

'Why did you return?'

I thought he had left, but Kaizen returned to the study.

Astelle, who was looking out the window, found Kaizen and got up from her seat.

Until then, Astelle thought he was going to continue the previous conversation.

After a long time, the uncomfortable silence was broken by Lyndon.

"What's going on?"

Kaizen seemed a little hesitant.

Astelle realized that something bad had happened.

"I think there was an attack before my knights arrived. The Marquis was injured."

"An attack?"

Something I was worried about was happening.

Astelle almost fell from losing her balance.

Kaizen quickly came over and helped Astelle.

He hugged Astelle and comforted her.
