Chapter: 263
Kaizen himself wanted to know why he was doing this.
Whenever it was related to Astelle, Kaizen couldn’t understand her thoughts.
However, the moment Astelle asked such a question, Kaizen finally realized the reason.
Why did he care so much about her?
Why was he so happy to see her at the ball and why was he so distressed every time he thought of Astelle leaving him?
He frankly confessed his feelings, “I wish you were by my side.”
Astelle did not understand the situation for a moment.
‘What did I just hear?’
The cold moonlight was shining on the white acacia petals.
The flowers’ refreshing scent lingered around the dark tea room.
The two stood side by side in the picturesque night scene.
However, there was a heavy silence between the two of them.
“Do you want me to stay with you again, Your Majesty?”
Kaizen stared at Astelle with trembling eyes.
Astelle didn’t expect he would say something like this.
She didn’t think he’d be able to make a sincere confession, but still……
“I do.”
The moment Kaizen uttered those words, Astelle felt a tension in her chest.
“I want you to be by my side.”
It was a sincere confession to her.
However, there was no time for Kaizen to anxiously wait for the response.
Immediately, Astelle replied coldly, “I don’t want to.”
Astelle’s face, exposed under the moonlight, was as pale and cold as a corpse.
“I do not want to go back to the capital, especially with Your Majesty, I will never go back.”
Ha! That’s amazing.
