Chapter: 322

There is even mourning in his low voice.

Astelle was a little surprised.

“……Why are you saying that?”

Kaizen smiled slightly instead of getting angry.

“I don’t know either……”

Growing up as a future emperor from a young age, Kaizen had never been swayed by emotions like this.

He grew up thinking, watching, and hearing only politics and power.

It was also for political reasons that he ousted Astelle as soon as he became emperor.

However, at this moment, Kaizen truly regretted what happened at that time.

“I never imagined I would ever feel this way towards someone. Because I have never felt this.”

It was complicated, confused, and his pride was thrown to the floor.

In the meantime, he did not want to admit it or believe it, but now he can say one thing for sure.

“I want you. Give me a chance to make up for the past.”

Astelle stood blankly as she listened to his candid confession.

How could this man make such an expression……

It was shocking rather than surprising.

Astelle knew roughly the night of the assassination that he wanted her, but she never thought he would confide in her with such a desperate expression on his face.

This man also had this side.

Astelle felt like she was seeing something strange.

It would not be a lie.

Because Kaizen now has no reason to lie and whisper love to her.

But Astelle doesn’t believe his feelings would last.

Right, at any rate, it’s just a momentary interest.

I don’t want to cling to such light interest with hope.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
