Chapter: 304

Astelle looked out the window of the carriage and made up her mind.

As soon as she goes to the capital, she promises to finish the will and leave.

***

The morning of the tenth day after departing from Dentsu Castle.

A rattling carriage passed through the eastern gate of the capital.

Finally, the Emperor’s party has arrived in the capital.

Astelle looked out at the familiar road scenery and swallowed a bitter thought.

‘I’m back.’

When she left this place six years ago, she swore she would never come back.

The affairs of the world were really unpredictable.

‘To come back to the capital with the emperor like this…’

The Emperor’s party went into the Imperial Palace, but Astelle, Theor, and the Marquis’ carriage went to the mansion near the Imperial Palace.

It was the mansion that Kaizen ordered to prepare in advance when Astelle said she would not stay in the Imperial Palace.

The carriage entered the large gate.

Astelle shook Theor to wake him up.

“Theor, we have arrived. Get up.”

“Hm…”

Theor, who was sleeping on Astelle’s lap, opened his eyes.

“Have we arrived?”

“Yes. Now we are in the capital.”

When Astelle got off the carriage, they were in the front yard of a large mansion.

Dozens of windows adorned with gold and silver hung on the pure white wall carved with holy water.

It was an incredibly gorgeous mansion.

It was as splendid and grand as the residence of the Reston family where Astelle lived.

Come to think of it, this was the mansion of a fallen duke.
