Chapter: 427

There was useless rhetoric to show polite manners, but there was one conclusion; the emperor wants to marry Astelle again.

According to custom, of course, Kaizen had to ask permission from the father of the bride-to-be, the Duke of Reston.

The duke was speechless as he read the emperor’s letter.

‘Come to think of it, something’s been weird since the ball.’

The Reston Charity Ball was an event initiated by his late wife by raising money for charity.

There were many noble ladies listing or donating. They considered it a virtue to give alms. It is a kind of show-off virtue.

The duke had never been interested in the work of women.

However, Kaizen suddenly informed that he would hold the charity ball in the imperial palace.

The duke was bewildered.

Why was the emperor who returned from his journey so interested in the duke’s small event?

Fortunately, Fritz, who was there, answered his doubts.

Fritz explained that the emperor was doing this to repay Astelle.

It was only a reward for helping to complete the late empress dowager’s will with ease.

It was a little suspicious, but the duke believed his son.

Because he couldn’t guess the reason other than that.

Instead of asking the emperor for a reward in money or gold, the foolish Astelle asked to hold her late mother’s ball in the imperial palace.

However, the duke realized it later as he watched Kaizen propose to Astelle. The reason Kaizen held the charity ball at the imperial palace was that he was going to propose to Astelle.

Kaizen fell in love with Astelle.

Obviously, it was the look of a man who was passionately in love.

I don’t know what happened during the journey, but Astelle finally captured the emperor’s heart.

After six years of divorce……

‘This is ridiculous……’

It was shocking, but it was an opportunity not to be missed.

After the last assassination attempt failed, he lived as if he were walking on a thin layer of ice.

It was an anxious life, not knowing when he would be caught and executed.
