Chapter: 329

She went out into the hallway to get the cake, but a passing maid found Astelle and ran to her.

“Lady, a guest has come to visit.”

“Guest? Who?”

Could it be that Count Ecklen, whom I met at the temple earlier, came? I refused him to visit……

But from the maid’s mouth, an unexpected name came out.

“The Duke of Reston has visited.”

“Who?”

Astelle frowned unconsciously.

“Duke Esteban von Reston has visited.”

Astelle was so annoyed at her father’s full name that she had not heard in a long time.

It was obvious why her father had come.

It must be because of the belongings of the late Empress Dowager.

In that case, she expected that she would meet him at least once anyway.

Astelle never wanted to see her father again for the rest of her life. But he came to meet her in person and she had to meet him.

“Where is he now? Guide me.”

***

The Duke of Reston sat in a chair in the study and waited for Astelle.

Astelle came in and stopped when she saw a blonde middle-aged man sitting arrogantly.

“It’s been a long time.”

Reunited with her father after six years, not much has changed.

Although he looked a little older than before, he had neat features and refined elegance that spreads all over his body.

It was the same as six years ago, especially that arrogant gaze.

As if to prove that he was one of the most handsome men in the capital when he was young, he still had an attractive appearance even in his middle age.

Suddenly, Astelle remembered Count Ecklen, whom she met at the temple.

He seems to be about the same age as her father.
