Chapter: 231

Astelle couldn’t drink hot tea, so she always prepared the tea a little lukewarm.

Vellian, accepting Astelle’s apology, pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the damp clothes off.

“……no, it’s fine.”

He said so, but Vellian looked at Astelle with suspicious eyes.

Astelle avoided his gaze.

“I have to go back to the main palace and change clothes. Excuse me for a moment,” Vellian said so and went out of the room.

Hannah was busy picking up pieces of broken teapots and wiping away the spilled tea from the chair and floor.

Outside the window, the sun was still shining warmly.

Astelle suggested taking a look at the garden.

“The weather is really nice today. Shall we go out for a while until Sir Vellian comes back? There is an exhibition room in the nearby garden, if it’s okay, I would like to go see it.”

The word ‘exhibition room’ seemed to surprise the Marchioness.

Florin naively agreed.

“That’s a good idea. I saw it on the way here.”

The two looked back at Kaizen and waited for permission.

Kaizen, who was sitting there with a blank expression, also agreed to go to the exhibition room.

“Yeah, fine.”

To get from the tea room to the exhibition room, you had to walk along the garden path.

In the afternoon, the garden was full of warm sunlight.

A view of the garden was seen in the warm sunlight. Among the colorful flowers, the leaves of grass added a fresh scent of grass.

The exhibition room was clean and neatly organized.

“It’s a wonderful place. I didn’t know this place existed.”

Astelle came out to the terrace next to the pavilion.

It was a small but beautiful terrace.

White marble columns supported the roof and in front was a small staircase leading to the garden.

As if waiting, Florin followed Astelle to the terrace.
