Chapter: 414
“Your Majesty…… I’m sorry. Your Majesty!”
The Marchioness was dragged out by the knights, belatedly begging for forgiveness.
Astelle raised her head and looked at Kaizen.
She seemed to know only then why Kaizen had proposed to her.
She was surprised at first. Kaizen hoped Astelle wouldn’t be hurt and insulted by this scandal.
If she were a woman who received the emperor’s proposal, no one would dare to do anything with her.
“I am sorry for ruining the atmosphere, Your Majesty.”
But Astelle was unwilling to get his help.
Astelle politely bowed and said, “I’m going to leave now.”
She was about to leave the banquet hall, but as soon as she took a step, Kaizen grabbed her wrist.
“My proposal still remains the same.”
Holding Astelle, he said with earnest eyes,
“I want to marry you.”
“……”
There was a time when I was infinitely happy to hear that.
Young Astelle, who did not know the world yet, was delighted after receiving Kaizen’s proposal.
Even now as an adult and getting older, I still haven’t been able to understand all the principles of the world, but I do know one thing for sure.
Astelle and Kaizen are destined to never be together.
And Astelle was now swayed by Kaizen’s heart and did not want to repeat her past mistakes.
One such thing was enough.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Astelle pulled out her gripped wrist.
“I refuse the proposal.”

It was dark outside the banquet hall.
