How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 107

Astelle was left alone with Kaizen.

'What do you want to talk about?'

Her relationship with Kaizen did not improve even after the marriage.

'On the contrary, I think it was more comfortable when we traveled back then.'

At least they had a casual conversation at that time.

After their marriage, the two became more distant.

Kaizen just looked at Astelle without saying a word.

He looked a little sad.

'What's wrong with you?'

Kaizen slowly approached Astelle.

Deep anger fluttered in his dark red eyes.

Astelle realized later.

Kaizen wasn't sad, but he was furious.

"Until when do I have to be the last to know?"

"Your Majesty, I–"

"Since when did you know about the secret letter?"

Kaizen cut off Astelle's words coldly.

Astelle looked at him calmly and confessed, "Lady Florin came to me and threatened me with the secret letter."

From Florin who brought the secret letter, to the conversation with her father, Astelle told him everything from the start.

"......why are you only telling me now?"

"I thought Your Majesty already knew of my father's plans."

Astelle thought Kaizen already knew all the plans her father, the Duke of Reston, had come up with.

That was why he postponed the tour.

But there was an assassination attempt in the middle.

If she were Kaizen, she would have fully realized that she had been tricked.

His voice trembling with anger was heard.

"You know everything so well, so you must also know why I didn't fully expose the duke's sins."

Kaizen gritted his teeth and looked at Astelle.

I think it was because there was no evidence.

I wanted to say that, but,

I know it wasn't just because of that.

"I know."

"Why?"

"......it must be because of Theor."

Shortly after he returned to the capital, he must have tried to uncover the real culprit of the assassination.

But around that time, Theor incident happened[1].

[1] it was when Theor drank Lintail fruit juice.

Kaizen seemed to have covered up the assassination case because of Theor.

Because Astelle's father, the Duke of Reston, was Theor's maternal grandfather.

If the details of the assassination attempt were uncovered, Theor and Astelle would be in trouble.

Astelle guessed so.

"Even though you know that......!"

Kaizen managed to hold back his anger.

"Your Majesty."
