Chapter: 185

At those words, Theor quickly lowered his head.

Theor waved the teddy bear’s arm and mumbled, “I also want to go to the ball.”

After thinking for a while about how to appease the child, Kaizen sat down with one knee, made eye level with Theor, and said with a smile, “I can’t take you to the ball. Would you like to take a tour of this garden instead?”

“Really? Um…… can I go to the garden?

“Who said you couldn’t?”

Kaizen asked curiously, and then he turned his gaze in another direction.

Astelle avoided his gaze.

Since coming here, Astelle has allowed Theor to play in this annex only.

It was because she was worried that the same thing that happened in the last hunting lodge would be repeated.

Astelle didn’t say anything, but Kaizen clicked his tongue briefly as if it was understandable.

“The garden here is large and gorgeous. Let’s go out together, I will guide you.”

Theor looked back at Astelle with bright eyes.

“Can I go to the garden?”

“……”

If it’s near the annex, there’s no danger. So it’s okay to take him out for a while.

Of course, there was no intention of letting Theor go alone with Kaizen.

Astelle smiled and took Theor’s hand, “Okay. Let’s go take a look together.”

For a moment, a sign of satisfaction seemed to pass over Kaizen’s lips.

Astelle looked back at him.

But she must have seen it wrong, no emotion was revealed on his indifferent face.

There were two ways from the west annex to the center of the palace.

One was a path connected by a flat corridor, and the other was a path that passed through the garden.

Astelle walked along the garden path with Theor.

Blynn, the hound also walked alongside Theor.
