Kaizen turned around without saying a word and left the mansion.
As he left, his back looked lonely and bleak.
Although he didn't show it on the outside, he seemed deeply hurt by Theor's ignorance of him as his father.
But Astelle, who was still hugging Theor, didn't feel too bad about it.
"Then see you next time, Lady Astelle."
After Lyndon also said goodbye to Astelle and Theor, he went out with Kaizen.
"Mom? Why did His Majesty the Emperor talk about father?"
After Kaizen left with the knights, Theor, who was still in Astelle's arms, looked up.
"Isn't my father in heaven?"
Theor tilted his head, confused by what Kaizen said.
"Theor."
Astelle hugged Theor affectionately.
And she put her lips to Theor's forehead.
Along with the relief that the child had returned safely, there was anxiety about the future to come.
She said quietly as she embraced the child, "I was going to tell you later when you're older."
At least five or six years later, I was planning to explain the situation.
That's when he will grow enough to understand the situation.
But now I had to tell Theor the truth.
After Astelle becomes Empress, Theor will become Crown Prince.
At least he should know who his father is.
Astelle sighed, hugged Theor, and went upstairs.
"Let's go up to the room first. Hannah, prepare Theor's clothes."
"Yes, Lady Astelle."
Hannah, who had been watching them quietly, came closer to Theor.
Theor waved his hand at her.
"Hello, Hannah."
"I'm glad you came back safely, Young Master Theor."
Tears welled up in Hannah's eyes.
Theor raised his hand in surprise.
"Don't cry, Hannah."
"It's because I'm so happy."
Hannah smiled and held Theor's hand.
"Aren't you hungry? I'll prepare meals while you take a bath."
"Yes, I'm hungry."
Hannah burst into laughter.
Astelle also smiled as she went up to the second floor with Theor.
Hannah quickly went to prepare bath water and a change of clothes.
Astelle sat Theor on the bed and bent her knees to meet his eye level.
"Theor, you had a hard time, right? Everything's okay now. It's safe here."
"What about Mom and Grandpa? Grandpa put me in the closet, then he disappeared."
Theor looked worried.
Astelle reassured him by patting him on the shoulder.
"Grandpa is fine now. He will be here soon."
"Really?"
