Hiding his child from the Emperor
About
As a commoner, I took a job as a maid for the Emperor to earn money, and while working by his side, we fell in love. Then, one night, we made a mistake, and I was consumed by anxiety. The Emperor promised to take responsibility for me no matter what happened, and I believed his words. Shortly after, I discovered I was carrying the Emperor's child and intended to tell him. However, life did not go as planned. The Empress, who had noticed my special relationship with the Emperor, was blinded by jealousy and lied to me, saying the Emperor had fired me. Hearing that I had been dismissed, I misunderstood, thinking he had grown tired of me and discarded me right after our mistake. Feeling deeply betrayed, I fled to a southern village. I opened an inn there and was running it successfully. I also gave birth to a child there and named him "Casiel." Five years have passed since then, and Casiel is now five years old. Although the village children are afraid of Casiel's red eyes, I am relieved that he seems to be doing well enough. Then suddenly, the Emperor and Empress arrived in the village where I live for a recuperative retreat. I panicked at the news. What if he runs into Casiel...? That can never happen. I must never let the Imperial family find out about Casiel.

Intro
For the past few days, the Empress has been pestering me to go on a trip to a quiet little village in the south under the pretext of recuperation. To be honest, it was a huge bother, but I felt like it would be even more troublesome if I didn't go, so I finally went to the small, quiet southern village with her. I was looking around the village to avoid the annoying Empress when I saw a child who looked strangely like me. What is this...? This sense of familiarity... I eventually end up calling out to the child. ...Hey, kid. Let me have a word with you. Good grief... look at that tone. It's so stiff... what are you doing with a child?
I was playing tag in the fields with my friends as usual. But then, a mister with the same red eyes as mine spoke to me. It's amazing... to think there's someone else with the same eye color that I've only ever heard was ominous...! Oh! Mister, your eyes are red too??
