Chapter: 1060

Astelle, who deeply loves her grandfather, will find peace of mind just by having the Marquis by her side.

That alone made Kaizen grateful to the Marquis.

“It’s definitely not something to talk about in this situation.”

Kaizen avoided the Marquis’ gaze. Because the Marquis seemed to be looking at him like a crazy person.

However, the Marquis replied in a surprisingly calm voice. “With all due respect…”

Kaizen turned to the Marquis and was surprised to see that his blue eyes radiated a friendly warmth. This is the first time as far as Kaizen can remember.

The Marquis sighed and continued, “…Your Majesty’s presence at the empress’ side is enough to give her strength and comfort.”

“…….”

Suddenly, the image of Astelle smiling while holding his hand before giving birth came to mind.

Astelle looked at him with affectionate eyes while holding a small amulet in her hand.

At that moment, he could clearly feel that Astelle loved and depended on him.

The Marquis’ words meant the same thing.

“Thank you. I mean it.”

At that moment, a sharp scream broke out from the room.

“Aagh!”

It was a scream that sounded far more painful and desperate than before.

Kaizen rose from his seat, feeling that his breath would stop at any moment.

“Your Majesty!”

He ran over and opened the door.

The door, which had been closed tightly, burst open as if it had been shattered.

As soon as he entered the room, the hot, humid air mixed with the smell of blood struck him.

The busy working maids bowed in surprise.

Kaizen’s eyes were only on Astelle on the bed. Lying on a white sheet soaked in blood, her face was pale, and her eyes closed.

He hurriedly made his way to bed.

“Astelle!”
