Chapter: 294
Theor, who was burying his face in Astelle’s arm, lifted his head carefully upon hearing Kaizen’s voice.
His clear blue eyes were wet with tears.
“I’m fine, Your Majesty.”
Kaizen wiped the tears from Theor’s eyes with his hand.
“It’s all right now. Don’t be afraid.”
Theor nodded at his words.
Astelle watched the two of them and realized that Theor followed Kaizen well and relied on him a lot.
It seemed that they loved each other deeply.
Kaizen glanced at Astelle and then turned around.
“Let’s go back to the castle.”

“I’m sorry Lady Astelle.”
Vellian begged Astelle’s forgiveness with a serious face like never before
“There has been an attempt to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, so no one can leave the castle for the time being.”
Astelle had just returned to the annex escorted by knights.
She didn’t even have the time to take off her clothes. She washed Theor first and put him to sleep after giving him the eye color-changing potion.
The terrified Theor gradually regained composure and fell asleep.
As soon as Astelle left the room after making sure Theor was sleeping, Vellian came to her and apologized.
It was said that no one could leave the castle because of the assassination attempt.
“I’m sorry because the situation is like this, the Marquis and Theor will have to go to the capital.”
“……”
Astelle nodded her head with a puzzled look.
“I see. There is nothing I can do about this situation.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Astelle pretended to remain calm until Vellian left, but the moment she was left alone, she fell into a chair.
