Chapter 64

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

“No! This kid is… Ugh.”

“He is not. This is Makoto’s child. You’ve met Makoto in the royal palace, right? You know, the one that makes magical tools. Because of certain situations, this child was entrusted to Julietta.”

I asked both Lord Edward and Yuki. Yuki was about to say something, but as soon as she did, Lord Edward covered her mouth with his large hands.

It seems like little Alexander is… No, if this is indeed Lord Edward’s child, calling him that is rude.

I was shocked by the revelation that Alexander was Lord Edward and Makoto’s child.

After all, Lord Edward and Rachel were engaged and even had a child together. For him to also have a relationship with Makoto…

As Rachel, whenever I was with Makoto, she didn’t seem like she was pregnant or anything.

I wonder if perhaps Lord Edward and Makoto started a relationship when Rachel left the royal palace.

I feel like it hasn’t been one month since Rachel lost consciousness. If that’s the case, Lord Edward and Makoto must have started their affair as soon as Rachel left the royal palace. That, or maybe they were already in a relationship behind Rachel’s back.

I wonder if that’s why Lord Edward was suddenly cold to Rachel.

“In any case, this child has nothing to do with you. So please leave it alone.”

Julietta and Yuki were about to say something but were cut short by Lord Edward’s words in shock.

“…May I at least hold the child? It’s pretty cute after all.”

“I cannot allow it. If anything happened to this child, I wouldn’t know what to tell Makoto.”

Lord Edward disregarded my words. It seems like that child is very important to him.

“I see, well, that’s a shame.”

His glance was cold, it’s a bit unfortunate, but I gave up on holding the child.

Thinking about it normally, this was expected.

This is the crown prince’s child, after all, he can’t exactly hand over his own child to some stranger.

Not to mention, I am an assassin.

On top of that, my target is Lord Edward.

Though I can’t say that I feel like an assassin.

I wonder if I’ll be able to assassinate Lord Edward in the end, considering I have Rachel’s memories in me.

But still, if I don’t, they will kill me.

Up until now, I have fulfilled every single assassination request. But I wonder if that was really for the best.

Lord Edward is the crown prince of the enemy country. He is someone that I have to assassinate.

He is the one in Rachel’s memories too.

Up until now, I have never gotten close to any of my targets. I have never even spoken to them once.

Which is why I have never felt any sense of hesitation.

If I failed, my own life would be at stake. So, of course, I never hesitated to kill others.

“More importantly, you need to return to the royal palace.”

“You can’t!!!”

“Huh?”

Considering I’m a stranger to them, I wonder if I’ll be locked up in the royal palace to be surveilled again. They would probably feel safer that way.

I can understand where he’s coming from.

However, for some reason, Yuki was strongly opposed to that idea.
