Chapter: 251

“My father asked me to send regards to the Marquis of Carlenberg.”

“If it were your father……”

“Oh, I’m sorry, my father is Count Gerald von Ecklen, the minister of the military.”

It was a name she had never heard of before. Astelle had no idea who it was.

The situation in the capital has changed a lot.

In the past, unless you were from a prestigious noble, you could not rise to a high position no matter how much you made. Instead, all of the seats were monopolized by the great aristocrats from generation to generation.

Astelle’s paternal grandfather was the Prime Minister, and her father also served as the Minister of State in the past and ascended to the position of Prime Minister.

Her maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Carlenberg, was also once minister of military affairs.

Her older brother, Fritz, was also scheduled to follow her father and grandfather’s steps.

However, Kaizen had driven out the great nobles and replaced them with new people.

Now, among the great nobles, the Reston was the only family that maintained the title.

“Oh, Lady Astelle, you are here.”

“Sir Lyndon.”

Finally, someone she knew approached. He was Lord Lyndon, commander of the Guard Knights.

“So you’ve met Seibel.”

Seibel also bowed his head lightly at him.

The two seemed to get along well.

Lyndon said to Seibel,

“But is it okay for you to stay here? We’re going to start the ball soon. Your partner, the Lady, has been looking for you.”

“Oh, that’s right. Excuse me, Lady Astelle.”

“It’s okay. Go quickly.”

As soon as Seibel disappeared, the dance began with the sound of music. Since it was a ball, someone had to do the first dance. Of course, that glory should go to the Emperor and his partner.

Florin, the candidate for Empress, has already returned with her mother, but there was still no emperor here.

‘Did Kaizen really not come?’

“Sir Lyndon. Where is His Majesty?”
