Chapter: 1075

Before the attendant came out, Lannis hurriedly opened the door.

And when he took a step into the office, Fritz stopped at the sight unfolding in front of him.

The first thing he saw was scattered and torn papers on the desk.

Kaizen sat on a chair just looking at the teacup and teapot in front of him.

The emperor pushed a pile of papers aside and was drinking black tea like alcohol.

He looked very annoyed and angry.

Fritz wondered if he had the alcohol in the teacup. But as he drew closer, there was no smell of alcohol, so it seemed to be tea.

“Your Majesty, what is this— no, greetings to Your Majesty.”

Kaizen silently put down the empty teacup and looked up.

“Oh, it’s you.”

“Your Majesty, what’s going on?”

Kaizen sighed and pushed the teacup and replied, “I had an argument with Astelle.”

“……you did?”

It seems so.

Because if it wasn’t Astelle, no one could upset him this much.

Fritz belatedly grasped the situation.

It seems that all the other ministers ran away, and only he came late and could not escape.

It was understandable that Lannis was very happy to see him. He must have thought that since he is the empress’ brother, he could solve the situation.

He wasn’t curious at all, but Fritz asked out of courtesy. “What did you argue about?”

Kaizen replied angrily, “It’s not a big deal.”

Then he sighed again and turned his head away and asked, “Will you listen to me? There is no one to discuss this matter with.”

Fritz didn’t want to get involved in his sister’s relationship. So he suggested very carefully, “Then if you talk to my grandfather—”

“The Marquis doesn’t listen to me.”

Astelle’s maternal grandfather often comforted Kaizen but was essentially always on Astelle’s side.

Even that old man seemed to enjoy watching me struggle.
