Chapter: 426

Astelle turned around and walked away from the end of the garden.

It was time for her to go into her room and rest.

“Lady Astelle.”

One of the maids was rushing along the side path leading to the main building of the mansion.

“What’s going on?”

Hannah stopped her and asked her.

The maid took a deep breath and bowed to Astelle.

And she gave the unexpected news.

She said, “His Majesty the Emperor has visited.”

***

“I come here to deliver the Emperor’s personal letter.”

Vellian politely handed over the Emperor’s letter with a displeased look.

In front of him, the Duke of Reston looked at the letter the emperor had sent and exclaimed with ridicule.

“I can’t believe His Majesty sent me a personal letter. I’m so honored.”

Vellian ignored the duke’s ridicule and placed the emperor’s letter on the desk.

“It’s about Princess Astelle.”

When Astelle’s name came out, the smile disappeared from the duke’s neat face.

He read the letter sent by the emperor.

As he roughly skipped the formal greeting at the beginning and went down, the first sentence came into his eyes.

[This is to convey the marriage proposal to the Duke of Reston……]

The Duke turned his gaze to Vellian.

“This is not a personal letter, but a marriage proposal.”

Vellian wasn’t surprised at all.

It seems he already knew what it was.

The duke read the main body of the letter again.
