Chapter: 289

It was a bittersweet feeling since they had a relationship with no trust.

‘It must be unavoidable.’

Considering Astelle’s father and her family, it was understandable that Kaizen didn’t trust her and kept his distance.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never forget this grace.”

Kaizen protected Astelle until he got hurt. It was something she should be grateful for.

As Astelle calmly expressed her gratitude, Kaizen mumbled dissatisfied.

“Is that all?”

“Then what do you want me to do?”

Astelle didn’t want to joke around in this situation, so she asked a bit coldly.

In fact, when Kaizen was hit by the sword, Astelle was very surprised.

She was so startled that she couldn’t even scream and was nailed to the spot.

She sounded so cold but Kaizen smirked at her.

“Why, why did you just stand still instead of leaving?”

Astelle didn’t know why this person was sneering even when she was doing good things.

She pressed harder on the cloth that was holding his wound.

Kaizen frowned in pain.

“Ugh…”

“I’m done.”

Kaizen gave her a pained gaze, but she ignored it.

She applied the crushed herbs to his wounds with her hands.

When the extract of the dark blue leaves was applied, the blood from the wound gradually subsided.

After the bleeding stopped, the wound became more visible.

The sharp cut was so deep that it almost touched the bone.

Kaizen saw that his blood had stopped and he pushed the hem of his robe as if nothing had happened.

“I’m fine now.”
