Chapter: 1046
It was already close to midnight.
It was time for everyone to go to bed, so the palace was quiet.
Astelle came into the bedroom in sky-blue pajamas over a light nightgown.
A slow voice came from behind.
“I will leave the wedding preparations to Hannah.”
When she turned around, Kaizen was waiting for her in her bedroom.
“Why to Hannah?”
What does Fritz’s marriage have to do with Hannah?
Kaizen answered honestly after a while. “I’m afraid you’ll be exhausted if you also take care of that.”
“No way.”
Astelle sat down on the bed and continued, “It’s Gretel’s wedding, she is free to arrange the wedding as she wants. I can’t interfere.”
If Astelle meddled in the affairs of the duchy, Gretel would feel intimidated.
When Gretel married Fritz, she would naturally become a Duchess.
So Astelle couldn’t just meddle in her marriage even though she is the empress. But if Gretel asked Astelle for help, of course she would be happy to help.
“But it is my duty to prepare nice presents.”
“Good.”
Kaizen, who was by the window, approached Astelle and sat down on the bed.
He wrapped his arms around Astelle’s shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
“The ball ended in a boring way.”
“You were bored?”
Was there something wrong with the ball?
As Astelle looked at him cluelessly, Kaizen raised an eyebrow and answered, “We couldn’t do anything but dance to one song.”
“Then what should we do other than dancing at the ball?”
Kaizen didn’t answer and avoided her gaze. He couldn’t say that he wanted to enjoy a tryst like young lovers do.
Then he lightly placed his lips on the nape of Astelle’s neck.
