Chapter: 227

Astelle wore a blue dress embroidered with white lilies and had a simple hairstyle.

A peony hairpin made by a round pearl was inserted.

“Thank you, Hannah. Good job.”

Faint memories of the past flashed across Hannah’s brown eyes.

Helping Astelle dress up like this, it seemed that her old memories came to mind.

Astelle felt a similar sentiment.

As she sat in front of the dressing table and helped by Hannah, it felt as if she had gone back six years ago.

Back in the days when she lived as the prince’s fiancee in the capital’s social circle.

“Let’s go.”

Astelle went with Hannah to the tea room in the garden.

As they approached the tea room, a refreshing scent of white acacia blossoms wafted up.

Against the clear sky, the flower clusters with their petals drooping were dazzlingly white.

There were people who arrived first in the tea room.

Astelle walked in with a welcome smile.

“Marchioness, long time no see.”

The Marchioness of Croychen turned her gaze.

“Lady Astelle.”

“So you were invited too. I’m glad there are other ladies besides me. I was worried that only gentlemen would come to the tea party hosted by the Count,” Astelle smiled casually and spoke softly.

The Marchioness was about to say something more, but a dark-haired girl rushed to speak.

“Nice to meet you Lady Astelle. This is Florin, the second daughter of the Croychen family.”

‘Oh, this lady is Florin.’

Florin is Marianne’s sister and the strongest candidate for the new empress.

Astelle thought she would be beautiful because she was Marianne’s younger sister, but she looked a little different from Marianne.

Unlike Marianne who has blonde hair and a bright appearance, Florin has a doll-like appearance with flowing soft black hair.

She looks younger than expected.
