Chapter: 25

When Astelle accepted the divorce, he was a little surprised, but he believes that even if she got divorced, she would live well.

No, actually, he had no time to worry about Astelle.

Because he had a lot of work to do as an emperor.

When he heard that she had been insulated from her family, he tried to send some money to her, but it was rejected.

After that, he almost forgot Astelle.

When he first looked for Astelle, none of the nobles of the capital knew where she was.

After he tracked down and investigated anyone involved, he got information that she was staying at the old Marquis’ house.

He was a man who lost his estate a long time ago, but he was still a noble with a high position, so Kaizen thought he would maintain a somewhat noble life.

In fact, he was a relative of the traitor, so Kaizen didn’t even know that his name was on the list of those deprived of pensions.

So he was shocked when Astelle, whom he met again after six years, appeared in rags-like clothes.

There wasn’t a common lace ornament on the shabby dress, let alone jewels.

It was worse than the clothes commoners wear.

Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had lived a miserable life in her maternal grandfather’s house.

If she remarried a man, she wouldn’t live that bad.

The Marquis lived with his granddaughter and treated her like a maid without trying to marry her off.

That old man had no money to spend to find a nanny, so he left his family heir, a child, to Astelle.

Even when running away, he threw his heir to Astelle and left her alone.

‘I should torture and kill that old man.’

Kaizen thought so as he looked at Astelle.

Astelle, whom he met again after six years, was very different from what he remembered.

She still had an impression that looked calm and quiet.

Her appearance was strangely irritating to his nerves.

Why?

It wasn’t that he hated her appearance.

Her appearance was miserable enough to look shabby, but Astelle herself did not hate to see it.
