Chapter: 298
“What is it?”
The moment Astelle was about to get up from her seat, both she and the marquis stiffened on the spot at Hannah’s word.
“His Majesty the Emperor has come.

Astelle quickly wiped her face with her hand.
The corners of her eyes, where tears had stood still, were still red.
Fortunately, her eyes did not swell.
If you didn’t look closely at her, you wouldn’t know that she was crying.
Astelle regained her composure and headed to where the emperor was waiting.
Kaizen was waiting for Astelle in the drawing-room of the annex.
“Your Majesty.”
As Astelle entered, Kaizen who was standing by the window, turned around.
Fortunately, he looked fine.
He was stabbed deeply in the shoulder and bled a lot, but he looked the same as usual.
“Astelle.”
Kaizen, who was walking towards her slowly, stopped when he saw Astelle’s face.
“You cried.”

“……”
‘I definitely washed my face.’
Astelle touched her cheek with her hand, wondering if there were any tears left behind.
Kaizen said, as if trying to reassure Astelle.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
“……”
It may not be all right if the truth about the assassination is revealed.
