“You never loved me anyway, right?”
Astelle’s long-awaited marriage life ended in a day.
She worked hard to become Kaizen’s wife since she was ten, but the only thing that was left for her was the stigma of an empress.
She was abandoned by the royalty; the man she loved, Kaizen, wanted her to leave.
“Yes. You’re right. I didn’t love you.”
Astelle lied for the last time. The man was the reason for her life, but it was also for the sake of the man who was her husband for a day.
She thought there would be no contact with him again, but-
“I think… I might be pregnant?”
***
Six years later, Astelle, who reunited with Kaizen, lied again.
“You… who is that child?”
“He’s my nephew.”
To protect the child.

This whole thing is just draining my IQ. The FL is stupid. If she hate that dude why would she even ask help from him? and even considered to trust him. Even if im near the clift I would rather die and fall down the clift then take the ML stinky hand. And funny thing she even chillaxin drinking coffee while her child is dying. Wow! Amazing just absolutely amazing! She doesn’t even act like she useless incapable of protecting it child. And her brother is the most pathetic of all, that it make me feel bad. To the point that it kinda funny, looking at her brother getting beaten up by it vassal. What can I say, the apple never fall far from the tree. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4677ec5e0d0870400f1c2f56950cc5fb3217cd986bd325234f4e148eb668fd2e.jpg

Just only me, thinking that Astel grown up father is not her real father? And the real one is Count Eklen?

Nope. Astelle also thought maybe Count Ecklen was their real father but no. Although he was originally their mother’s real lover,when she got pregnant with Count Ecklen’s kid, she proceed to marry Duke Reston to protect both Count Ecklen and their unborn child (make the baby pretend to be Reston’s child since they’ll LIKELY have the same eye color) but she had miscarriage. And Count Ecklen was sent to war by the former emperor since he was just a mere knight back then.

Count Ecklen was Astelle and Fritz’s mom’s REAL LOVER but he was just a knight back then.Astelle thought he was their real dad but sadly, they are really Duke Reston’s children. Astelle and Fritz had an older sibling before their mom married Duke Reston but it died because of miscarriage
