Chapter: 18
However, Astelle had no time to consider his mood.
“Are you still blaming me?” Kaizen asked with a frowned look, then continued, “You agreed to divorce without saying a word.”
“……”
Old memories emerged from Kaizen’s words.
Kaizen, now in the appearance of an imposing and strong emperor, Astelle couldn’t find the dark-haired boy who had been hanging a necklace around her neck for a long time, from that handsome face.
When with Astelle, Kaizen has always been a sweet and polite fiance.
By the time she reached adulthood, there were rumors that Kaizen met other women several times.
But Astelle didn’t think seriously about it.
Because Kaizen was at least a faithful fiance in front of Astelle.
She sometimes prayed that Kaizen was a sincere prince who obeyed his father, the emperor.
She couldn’t even imagine that he would break the promised marriage from childhood.
‘It was all a play.’
He just playing as an ordinary prince. After becoming emperor, he purges all of the great nobles, including Astelle’s father, Duke Reston.
In all of those plans, Astelle had no existential value to Kaizen.
She has lived her whole life as Kaizen’s fiancee, but Astelle was the dust of his life.
She is an insignificant existence that will always be easy to shake off.
As soon as Kaizen became emperor, he wanted a divorce.
She said nothing and agreed to the divorce.
No matter what she said, nothing could change Kaizen’s decision.
As the last consideration for the man she once loved, she wanted to disappear cleanly without taking his time.
Astelle said calmly again, “Just promise me, if the work is resolved, Your Majesty will return my grandfather’s pension and send us back……”
There is no precedent for the emperor’s child to grow outside the imperial palace.
When Theor is discovered as a prince, Astelle is forced to send him to the imperial palace.
In no time, Kaizen will either have a new empress from the daughters of another noble family or have a child from his concubine.
Right now, he will take Theor because he is a prince, but if Kaizen’s other women give birth later, he will not protect Theor and leave him alone.
