Chapter: 321

Astelle got her grandfather’s pension back, and she was given permission to leave the capital right away.

The priest presented the papers to the emperor.

“It’s done. Your Majesty is now the legal lord of all southern estates.”

Finally, the paperwork for the will was finished.

The flame of the candles has filled the temple with a subtle golden light.

Kaizen stood under it.

Astelle suddenly remembered vividly the night after the assassination.

She did not know why she felt so uncomfortable with just one hug from Kaizen.

They were once married and have been through the first night.

From now on, they would never see each other again.

Astelle expected that it would not be difficult, but she is satisfied because she found the work easier than she thought. She hurriedly escaped from the temple before anyone caught her.

It was a time when the sun was warm.

The garden road without people was quiet and secluded.

“Astelle.”

Kaizen, who followed, called for her.

“Are you going back now?”

“Yes. If your majesty allows me, I will leave tomorrow.”

Kaizen stared at Astelle with complicated eyes.

“Can’t you stay here?”

Kaizen’s handsome face is distorted.

“I…..”

Kaizen’s eyes were terribly sunken.

“Even if I regret what I did to you?”
