Chapter: 27

“Wouldn’t it be better to remarry than to live so hard?”

“……”

Are you really curious about that?

Astelle knew he was insensitive, but she was a little surprised.

He asked why she didn’t remarry?

Of course, the first reason she didn’t consider remarriage was because of Theor.

But Astelle came up with a more honest answer, “It was enough to go through such a thing once.”

Kaizen’s red eyes sank at the word ‘such a thing’.

Astelle asked the same question, “Then why didn’t Your Majesty remarry?”

“I didn’t need a wife to bother me and act as a spy.”

It was a sarcastic answer to Astelle.

Astelle looked down and answered calmly, “Now you don’t have to worry because all of the nobles that might threaten Your Majesty are gone. You can choose the new empress with confidence.”

Astelle said in a calm tone but contained a bit of skepticism that he couldn’t choose a new empress because he was still worried about another rebellion.

Kaizen laughed coldly, staring through Astelle.

“You have changed a lot.”

“Maybe so.”

I have changed.

When Astelle sees this man, she doesn’t feel any more feelings.

“If it’s okay, can I go back to the carriage?”

“……sure.”

Astelle bowed her head to him and headed for the carriage.

Kaizen looked at Astelle’s back for a while.

The woman he met again in six years was so strange that it was really annoying.

The party arrived at Maern Castle only in the afternoon.
