How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 106

"Are you satisfied?"

Astelle turned around and saw Vellian standing there with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

After Astelle finished her audience, she stayed for a while in the drawing-room of the emperor's palace.

She had said all she had to say and wanted to return to the empress' palace, but she was ordered to wait here.

If she had been alone with Kaizen, she would have said she would be back.

But there were many nobles watching, so she couldn't disobey the emperor's orders.

While Astelle was just waiting, Kaizen was discussing the matter with the ministers in his office.

The maids hurriedly served tea and desserts to the empress.

And now, even Vellian, the emperor's aide, came to Astelle.

"What do you mean?"

Vellian glanced at the distant maids for a moment, then lowered his voice and said sarcastically, "I asked if you are satisfied with the fact that the Marchioness and even her family will also be destroyed soon."

Astelle stared intently at him.

The emperor's aide, Vellian, doesn't seem to like the fall of the Croychen family.

Well, now we have to elect a new minister of state.

But this time Astelle had no choice but to do it.

"Should I just keep quiet when that mother and her daughter tried to kill and spy on me?"

"That's why you let her take the fake secret letter?"

"I didn't give it to her."

It wasn't a lie.

Astelle didn't know that such a secret letter existed until Florin said it.

But Vellian did not believe Astelle.

He said, "Even the emperor, who is obsessed with the empress, will not believe that."

Astelle raised an eyebrow at his rude attitude.

"You mean I set a trap and dragged Lady Florin in?"

"Isn't that so?"

"It is not. Why would I do such a thing to Lady Florin?"

"Did you forget you also set a trap for the Marchioness at the tea party?"

"It was because the Marchioness tried to kidnap Theor."

If she didn't hurt Theor, she would let her go no matter how rude she was.

Likewise for Marianne, if she just checked her box of medicines without doing anything else, she would just let her go.

"That's what happened in the past, but......"

Even though she clearly said no, Vellian still didn't believe her.

Astelle didn't want to keep dealing with Vellian's complaints.

She had no intention of ever putting up with this man's rudeness.

Astelle cut off his words with a firm voice, "I don't understand why you, the emperor's aide, don't believe me, the empress."

Vellian opened his mouth slightly as if in a panic.

He himself must have been surprised to realize he had suddenly returned to speaking rudely with her after being so respectful until now.

Astelle rebuked him in a calm but clear tone, "How can you be so disrespectful in front of me, the empress of the empire, and defend a sinner without a foundation? Did the person serving the emperor not learn imperial etiquette properly?"
