Chapter: 364
It was a play in which a doll was hung by a string that moved in a box.
Theor couldn’t take his eyes off that puppet show.
The man and woman who received Astelle’s gaze came with a box and spoke quickly.
“I was ordered to entertain the young master.”
The servant took them to the bedroom where Theor was.
The box that the servant brought with him was full of toys.
Cotton dolls and balls, small human dolls, and elaborately made castles, carriages, and cannons.
As expected, Theor was very fond of it.
“Are they really doing a puppet show here?” (Theor)
“Yes, His Majesty has ordered it.”
Astelle answered as she suppressed her slightly complicated feelings.
Theor smiled brightly as he held a ball woven from a gold thread from the box.
“His Majesty is really kind.”
“……”
Meanwhile, the puppeteer man and woman laid out the play box in front of the bed and started the puppet show.
Theor looked at the stage as if possessed.
Astelle looked at Theor, who looked happy, with a bitter look.

Florin went to the bedroom of her mother, the Marchioness.
The boudoir attached to the bedroom was used as a private space by the Marchioness.
Inside the room were her mother and Naen, the youngest of her sisters.
While Florin was as pretty as a doll, Naen’s plump, round face didn’t have many pretty corners.
Naen wore a drab gray wool dress with her dark brown hair roughly tied up.
Because of her outfit, she looked more like a nun than a lady of a noble family.
There was a frameset on the table.
