Chapter: 235
Florin innocently continued, “I rather like it that way. Unlike other young girls who could become my rivals, Lady Astelle was different.”
“In short, you are saying that you are comfortable because I have no chance of becoming the empress.”
“Of course. There is no other person I am more comfortable with than you. Lady Astelle has also experienced it, so you will understand, right?”
Astelle said with a slight smile, “Certainly, you are different from your older sister, Lady Florin. Somehow, Sir Vellian praised you a lot. You are a really nice lady.”
“Thank you!”
“Lady Florin doesn’t have to be this vigilant anymore if you were really thankful.”
As Astelle pointed it out quietly, the smile disappeared from her doll-like face for a moment.
‘This must be what this girl is like.’
Astelle guessed that this girl’s original personality would be very cold and cruel.
Florin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Lady Astelle doesn’t want to be the Empress, and you can’t be, but……there are always unforeseen circumstances in the world.”
Florin spoke to her in a low voice, “If it was six years ago, who would have guessed that I could become the future empress? It was something I couldn’t even imagine.”
‘I can see why every time I see this lady, I always think of a pretty doll.’
There was no emotion in Florin’s pretty purple eyes. She has doll eyes that show no emotion or sincerity.
The Croychens, though wealthy, were not great noble with great territories. There was no long history to put forward.
It was a family that would not be called a prestigious family even if they built up a network in the capital for the next 100 years or so.
No one could have guessed that the second daughter of such a family would become a candidate for the empress.
No one could have imagined if the situation of the empire did not change after Kaizen became emperor and then expelled all the great nobles.
Florin confessed frankly, “From then on, I decided to be more careful. So after hearing about Lady Astelle, I wanted to see you with my own eyes.”
“You are thorough.”
How could a young woman who had just reached adulthood think like that?
Astelle agreed with Vellian.
As Florin gains more of her experience over time, she will become a really good empress.
Florin smiled as she looked at Astelle.
“Actually, I have heard many stories of Lady Astelle since I was very young. At that time, Lady Astelle was the noblest woman in the capital. Not just your status, but in your every way.”
