Chapter: 1045

Fritz turned to Kaizen again and replied, “There’s no way I would dare ask permission to do something that hasn’t been agreed upon, right?”

“…….”

It was a very natural thing, but Kaizen was silent for a moment.

That was because he had a history of asking permission from the Reston family to proceed with the marriage at will, without Astelle’s approval.

In an instant, he remembered the two marriages between him and Astelle and the process before and after.

Looking at the couple in front of him as he recalled all of that, he felt somehow strange.

Should I say it’s a kind of envy?

“If the two of you are good, there’s no need to oppose it.”

Kaizen’s eyes turned to Astelle.

Astelle showed a gentle smile and added quickly, “I think Millet would be good. It is also close to the capital. It’s a forested area, so it’s a place that suits Gretel well.”

“Uh, what…….”

Gretel turned to Astelle in surprise at the sudden remark.

Kaizen calmly declared, “I will give you land and a title as a reward for your services, Miss Gretel.”

Gretel opened her mouth blankly.

Kaizen added with a smile, “Didn’t I say I’d give you a reward?”

“Well, yes, but…… that’s too much…….”

“I should have returned the favor to you earlier. You are our benefactor,” said Astelle to her soothingly.

That meant Gretel’s status would be raised so she would have no problem marrying Fritz.

Gretel finally understood what they meant and lowered her head.

“Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Empress.”

Gretel held Fritz’s hand and smiled at each other.

Seeing the two of them looking genuinely happy, Astelle also felt a sense of happiness.

After a long conversation, the two returned.

Astelle went back to the bedroom to take a bath and change her clothes.
