How To Hide Emperor's Child

Chapter 88

Astelle continued to explain while looking at the confused Kaizen.

"A potion?"

A potion that changes eye color.

Kaizen had never heard of it.

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind.

The day he took Theor to the hunting lodge in the woods.

Astelle had run through the rain to the hunting lodge at sunset.

At that time, he had been worried about whether Theor had an illness.

"Was it because of that potion that you rushed to the hunting lodge from Maern Castle?"

Kaizen felt as if a fireball was rising in his chest when he saw Astelle standing calmly.

"Why did you hide it?"

Kaizen managed to endure the rising anger and approached Astelle.

"Why didn't you tell me until now!"

It was understandable that Astelle hid Theor's birth and said that he was her nephew, because he was an illegitimate child.

She wouldn't have been able to reveal that she gave birth to an illegitimate child.

But if Theor is his son, Theor is a Prince.

He raised the prince as the son of a dead knight.

Kaizen gritted his teeth.

"If you had a child, you should have told me! I have rights as a father!"

Kaizen was furious.

That she deceived him.

He was also furious with himself for letting her go that way without knowing anything about her.

Astelle, who was hit by his anger, raised her head.

Light green eyes looked up at him.

"What would you have done if you had known then that I was pregnant?"

Memories of six years ago came to mind.

The day he ascended to the throne at the young age of twenty.

At that time, he was in a civil war with the great nobles.

He killed countless people, and he was at risk of countless assassinations.

What would he have done if he had found out that Astelle was pregnant during that bloody and cruel period?

Kaizen knew the answer to that question.

Had he known Astelle was pregnant, he would have tried to get rid of the child.

If it was hard to get rid of the child, he might have tried to kill Astelle.

Astelle said, "My father must have noticed Theor's eyes and knew his identity."

Hearing that, Kaizen immediately turned around and opened the door.

He couldn't accept the current situation, but now there was something important.

"What is Lyndon doing? Send someone to the Duke! Tell Lyndon to bring Theor here. Right Now!"

Kaizen closed the door and entered the drawing-room where Astelle was again.

Astelle was still looking at him.

"So you meant you'd marry me because of Theor, huh?"

It was ridiculous that he was happy for a while to hear that she accepted his proposal.
