Chapter: 371

Her decision will be different depending on which of the two.

“Brother, I……”

But before Astelle could say anything, a sharp voice intervened between the two.

“Astelle.”

The two siblings hurriedly turned their eyes.

Kaizen was standing at the door.

Kaizen walked towards the two siblings.

I felt as if my heart was being trampled on by his steps.

I felt like I was out of breath.

Did you hear what I just said?

If so, what did you think when you heard it?

Kaizen stopped about a step away.

The cold eyes looking at Astelle went down a little further.

His gaze stopped on Fritz’s hand that was holding Astelle’s wrist.

“What’s going on?”

Fritz looked at Astelle in bewilderment.

Astelle replied indifferently without panicking. In a voice that is not at all different from usual, without shaking, “We were talking about our mother’s ball.”

“Your mother’s ball?”

“Yes, my mother hosted a charity ball at this time every year. It is our family tradition, so I was discussing it with my brother.”

Astelle finished answering and calmly looked down.

I don’t know why I remembered it at this moment.

Perhaps when I danced with Kaizen at the ball at Dentsu Castle left a deep impression on me.

Seeing that the moment I thought of an excuse while looking at Kaizen’s face, I thought of a ball.

Fritz puts Astelle’s wrist down and bows to Kaizen.
