Chapter: 253
Being drawn to your ex-wife, whom you divorced six years ago.
The two have been engaged since the age of ten. Feelings that hadn’t arisen even after 10 years of being engaged to each other came into existence six more years after the divorce.
At that time, someone approached Astelle, who was standing on one side.
It was Seibel, the commander of the Lanberg Knights.
Seibel said something to Astelle.
A faint smile crept across Astelle’s lips.
Kaizen went downstairs immediately.
In an instant, the music stopped.
Kaizen crossed the center of the hall and approached Astelle.
Everyone looked at him, holding their breath.
Surprised, Astelle turned around.
Kaizen politely held out his hand.
“Lady Astelle, will you honor me to be your first dance partner?”

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Astelle politely bowed and begged for forgiveness.
“It’s been too long since I have been to a ball, so I’m not good at dancing. I dare not obey His Majesty’s orders, because I think dancing at this rate would be rude. Please forgive me.”
Astelle was very polite from her expression to her tone of voice, but it was a clear rejection.
The banquet hall became so quiet it felt like cold water was poured on it.
No one was able to speak out loud, but it was a shocking situation.
It is shocking to hear that the emperor, who had prevented people from even approaching him, asked the former empress who he had divorced out of nowhere to dance, and the former empress even coldly refused the emperor’s request.
In fact, Astelle was surprised as well.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
She came to the ball to ask permission in front of people but she had no intention of even dancing with Kaizen.
‘……I really hate situations like these.’
