“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.

It’s time. The emperor has his rights to know. I know what he did 6 years ago is so idiotic and unforgettable but it’s for the best as well. At least you won’t be implicated of your father’s treason, but… He had to find you. ?

There is only ?????? in the button but I need an eye roll right now. ?
This is what you get for laying FL. And that white haired guy is annoying, not romantic at all.
Boo Ang
I like that the FL is suffering because of her own stupidity. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Liers will suffer at the end.
wholesomeshit
wtf?
Wanwan
What hell man what did she even do that you are saying things like that.I know everyone has different opinions but saying things like that when she didn’t even did anything is truly disgusting like ‘Iam happy that the fl is suffering’.And the fact that she lied was for her own son’s good ana to protect him.I know thatshe didn’t told the emperor about theor existence which is quite unfair but still calling her a lier and mocking her is not good.At the end I can’t change the way you think neither I can stop you from commenting anything. Sorry if I sounded rude.Thankyou if you or anyone is Reading this
Boo Ang
She LIED and that’s the problem.
But now it’s ok because at the current chapter, the emperor already knew that the kid is his.
I just can’t take and I can’t like liers even if they are the MC of the story I like. ?
Gumi.Gem
Did you read this manhwa???? No he doesnt know that its his child just yet
What he does know is that its her child
Oh and the “I cant stand liars” is really fucking dumb?? Like tf do you want her to do, go tell everyone in the world that its her kid and then have so many nasty rumors spread about her?
He would’ve probably gotten kidnapped so many times and or he would die the minute she told them
Shes protecting him by lying and thats completely ok, shes doing what she’s supposed to do
Youre acting as if youre an angel sent from above but lets just be fr?
Boo Ang
//holds my nape//
Oh my god what is this thing talking about now?
Bro.sis or whatever you are.
The reason I want the FL to tell the Emperor that the child was his, was because yes HE DOESN’T KNOW and he has the RIGHT to know.
Why would you think that just by telling the emperor the truth will the kid be in danger as soon as possible. Can’t they think of possible protection for the child? Because I think they will, they are parents after all.
And yes I read the manga, and now the emperor knew the child was his, and the child was in danger because the mom chooses to still lie and send the child away.
And me saying I can’t stand liers is dumb? Wow! You must be an angel, you are the one who think s/he was sent by heaven to think what other people thinks is dumb. ????? You must be an honest person with flowery word. Feel my sarcasm.
And I didn’t say I want the “whole world to know” just the emperor is enough. But yes, as long as the emperor knew; the world will knew and nothings wrong with it. They can protect the child together.
Because weather the emperor knew that the kid was his or not, the child will already be in danger. And the advantage that he could at least be protected by much stronger party is with the emperor. Because if assassins are sent to kill him while the mother is sending him away, he could be dead by now, it’s just so thanks to that lady who saved him. It was actually the mother who sent him to danger tbh. And now who was the one who saved the child? Oh wow.. the emperor. ? So he doesn’t need to know, let him be continued be lied upon by MC.
Gosh thank God his eyes changed to red. ? Now emperor knew he was his child. And guess what, the FL will leave unscathed living guilt free later on because the emperor will forgave her.

Bruhh thats the essense of the story.. All the misunderstanding at first that led them to a mistake and wrong decisions.. thats how always a story were mostly made… you’re being bias on who you are hating and disliking bruhh all of them made mistake not just the FL… imagine yourself being in that position.. make your point of view on each first not just for the emperor… have you forgotten how the story flow from the startss it’s the “MISUNDERSTANDINGS’ that I am sayingand it’s the emperor and FL are cowards who didnt face their fears and ignored themm.. well that just how story iss.. they will make many problems just to make the story long but atleast they make it interesting… try to understand each perspective girl..
And you about hating liars? Bruhh you’re being too naive many people lie in this world for sure not even a single human being here didn’t lie at all including yourself.. stop being a brat girl…
Yes here I am being a bit emotional cause I got angry what you said about the FL but I still wanna neutral cause we all have differents thought its just that fix you thinking girl stop being naive.. and stop being biased..
Forgiving each other is already given ghorll.. coz thats how a story happy ending goshhh..
Boo Ang
Na.. it’s ok. Yes I am really biased here. Commenting is my way of releasing frustration on a Manhua I’m reading, so as to not drop it, might better to talk the topic that I don’t like on the story. I don’t like accumulating negative feelings due to what I am reading, so just commenting here on what my ideal scenarios. ? it’s FREE after all.
And I do reply back to comments like the other commentor on my post, since they make claims in my post which is did not what I said or pertaining. ? Like you.
You on the other hand needs to calm down, stop being emotional on someone who is just expressing her FREE right to express herself. As you said we have different thoughts, and I’m exercising mine.
And Why should I fix how I think? What makes you think you can decide that for other person?mm?
Ace
Oh please.. we’re not asking you to change your view on fl.. as you said you’re expressing your damn thought of course we are also expressing our thought by defending the FL is it bad? No right? We’re just expressing our own thoughts stop being defensive you just look stupid… and fyi I’m not DECIDING for you… I’m SUGGESTING to you as a person other than yourself… and commenting is your way of releasing your frustration?.. girl just download a note then release your frustration there.. stop being INSENSITIVE cause not all readers share your opinion.. just like this one.. all those who dont share your opinion were chatting in your comment… and its not actually releasing your frustration it’s just called CLOUT CHASING…

I do understand what I’m reading and I do understand that certain plot is part of how a story runs. But it doesn’t mean I can’t share my thoughts and that is how I see the FL. Make your own topic if you want, because whatever you guys said, my views on the FL will never change…. For now. Of course I’m rooting for the family to live happily ever after like other manhuas’ do.

Oh my!! I am excited for the next chapter ❤️❤️

Now… what will that ass of an emperror do next? ☹️?
As much as i wish the little prince to be safe, associate with the flow of political power is no pleasant by any mean.
Gumi.Gem
I mean Im pretty sure theres more to the story about him divorcing her since we can see that he actually loved her in the past but yea he made some pretty shitty decisions
Aomi
Also don’t forget how awful he made it was when divorce her. She had been put in shame and abandoned by her family. If he really has an odd of love for her, at that time he would at least lerned about her situation. He didn’t even lifted a finger to help her. She survived all thanks to her grandfather help. And after she determine to leave everything and live quietly with her child, the guy selfishly seek her out and forcedfully take her on board the dirty political game.
There may be some sincerity in Emperor’s love words right now, but it isn’t gonna change the fact that MC’s life is pretty went south because of him.
Diane Juntarciego
“the play is over?” Baby theor?
Aomi
Hmmmm…. Guess that respecful attitude did help reduce hateful image of the *sshole Emperor.
Now Let’s see what the f*cking father has in mind for pushing MC as Empress. The old b*stard live too long than he deserved.

Okay, I’ll shift my hate on astelle’s a****le father
MinShooky Sugar
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?
shinwonderella
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
