Chapter: 132

It seems that Astelle has a grudge against him.

‘I’m not trying to bother you on purpose.’

In order to avoid futile suspicions, it was necessary to distract Vellian.

Astelle looked at Vellian, pretending to go the other way.

Vellian barely pulled out the herbs with his hand, but when the moist soil got on his fingertips, he was shocked and wiped it off with a handkerchief.

He didn’t even care which way Astelle was going because he was concentrating on brushing the dirt off.

Astelle went through the grass and looked for medicinal herbs.

She picked only the herbs she needed and carefully placed them in a basket.

It was about sunset.

On the forest road at sunset, there was a cool evening air.

The cool breeze passing through my neck cools my skin from the heat.

Whenever I breathed, there was a smell of moist grass and sour soil.

I passed near the large birch tree. I heard a stepping sound from the entrance side.

It seemed that someone was approaching this way.

A few steps away, Vellian, who had squatted and searched the grass, stood up in a hurry.

“Your Majesty!”

As I turned in surprise, I saw a familiar person in the distance.

“Astelle.”

It was Kaizen.

He looked at Astelle’s surprised face and asked a little displeased, “Why are you so surprised? Did I get in the way?”

“……No, Your Majesty.”

Of course, I couldn’t be honest about it.

At the moment, all my nerves were focused on the herb basket holding in my hand.

In addition to the medicinal herbs to put in the cure for fever, there were also medicinal herbs to change the color of the eyes.

Astelle suppressed the rising anxiety.
