Chapter: 167

Astelle also took a fork and ate a bite of mille-feuille.

As soon as she ate a bite, the sweet vanilla scent spread in her mouth.

The savory and crispy pastries blended with the soft custard cream with plenty of vanilla scent.

‘Eating this food after a long time reminds me of the old days.’

In those days, she ate these things every day while going to the imperial palace.

She drank a sip of milk tea in a pure white mug.

It was a taste that naturally harmonized with fragrant tea and soft milk.

The bitter taste and scent matched well with mille-feuille.

The fatigue accumulated while coming here was relieved by sweet mille-feuille and warm milk tea.

Hannah laughed as she filled Astelle’s empty teacup with tea.

“Lady Astelle loves this dessert too.”

Astelle smiled slightly and picked up another piece with a fork.

It was when she had finished eating the last piece and put the teacup down.

Hannah asked, “Are you going back to the Marquis’ mansion?”

“Yeah. I have to go back with my grandfather. How about you Hannah?”

Astelle met her long-awaited, but she wondered if she will part again.

She was also worried about whether Hannah could go back to the imperial palace or not.

Even though she is a maid belonging to the imperial palace equally, she is much better at the imperial palace of the capital city than in this separate palace in the east.

There will be a difference in the salary.

Can she return to the capital?

If that’s the case, she should ask Kaizen to let her go back.

Hannah replied in a bright voice as she put the teapot down, “No, I want to follow Lady Astelle now.”

“Yes?”

Hannah faced Astelle with a calm gaze.

“You sent me to the capital’s imperial palace alone 6 years ago and I really regretted it a lot. I swore that if I could find your whereabouts, I would surely go and serve you.”
