Chapter: 153
Theor muttered, “Hmm……”
“It’s okay, Theor.”
Theor, who was sleeping quietly, frowned in his forehead and slowly opened his eyes, then checked Astelle’s face and fell asleep again.
The eyes, which were briefly exposed through the lids, were clear blue.

Astelle recovered and the spots disappeared cleanly.
Kaizen stayed in the inn for two more days after the spots disappeared from Astelle’s body.
He couldn’t leave until he became certain.
“The Lady completely healed now, Your Majesty.”
It was until the doctor made such a definite answer several times, then the emperor’s party start to head back to the destination, Dentsu Castle.
After another three days of a long journey, Dentsu Castle finally appeared in front of Astelle.
Dentsu Castle is often referred to as the second Imperial Palace.
This was the second imperial palace where the emperor stayed in the east for a long time ago.
There was a gorgeous garden and several separate palaces around the main palace in the middle.
The carriage carrying the emperor and the party went through the main gate and entered the main building of the castle.
The carriage carrying Astelle passed through the luxuriously constructed garden and headed to the east side of the castle.
“Lady, this way.”
The place where Astelle was guided was a beautiful annex on the west side of the castle.
It is a single-story building with a large garden and is beautifully and authentically tastefully decorated to suit this ancient castle.
Walking down the corridor with Theor, the young servant who was going ahead looked at Astelle and bowed his head with a difficult face.
“I’m sorry, Lady.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“I…… I don’t seem to have been serving the Marquis well.”
The young servant apologized to Astelle.
He said that the Marquis kept telling him to go back.
