Chapter: 234

“Lady Florin, are you okay?”

“Sorry?”

Florin blinked.

Black eyelashes fluttered over the pale purple shimmering purple eyes.

They are like marbled eyes embedded in a ceramic doll.

‘I had a doll like her when I was young.’

It was a pretty doll wearing a pink dress with layers of lace.

The eyes of the beaded dolls were large and moving. Each time the doll moved, the long eyelashes attached to her eyelids fluttered.

Astelle recalled the doll and said, “Because of me, Lady Florin’s older sister, Lady Marianne is in prison.”

“That was my sister’s own fault,” Florin answered with a gentle smile like a cute porcelain doll.

“It seemed that my older sister didn’t like the fact that His Majesty showed his concern for you. It was because she had always liked His Majesty, so please understand, Lady Astelle.”

‘I thought it was Florin rather than Marianne who should feel uncomfortable with Kaizen’s favor to me.’

She’s not yet officially engaged to Kaizen, but she’s the most likely candidate for the empress.

Florin rolled her eyes.

“Do you think that you will become the empress again, Lady Astelle?”

“I don’t think so.”

It was so ridiculous that it made Astelle bewildered.

“I don’t want to be the empress. Neither can I.”

It has already been 6 years since she divorced.

Now the Restons were not as powerful as they used to be.

You never know when your power will be destroyed, let alone disappear.

It was impossible for Astelle to become the empress again.

“I see.”

Florin smiled and agreed.

“If Lady Astelle has no intention of becoming the empress, and you cannot become the Empress, then there is absolutely no need for you to be hostile to me. Isn’t it?”
