Chapter: 48

“Oh my god.”

She forgot to bring it.

Astelle put Theor on the bed and returned to the dinner table.

She took the doll from the servant who was arranging the seats and went out into the hallway.

The hallway of the castle, which lamp had been turned off, exudes a strange atmosphere.

Gold ornaments and statues shining brilliantly during the day were immersed in the dark.

A glass window that occupied one wall sprinkled a mysterious silver light in the corridor.

Astelle walked toward the bedroom, stepping on the stone statue’s shadow.

As she turned around the corner, a servant with a candlestick appeared from the other side.

Astelle found the man behind him and stopped.

It was Kaizen.

“Are you going back to your room?”

“Yes, the child left his teddy bear and I came back to bring it.”

The emperor seen in the night was different from what she saw in the daytime.

He had the same face and the same clothes, but the atmosphere of the whole body was completely different.

If the emperor she met in the daytime was a dignified monarch, in the middle of the night he was like a beast who hid in the shade.

He was somewhat confident, overbearing, and dangerous.

Kaizen was looking at Astelle’s uncharacteristic green dress.

Even in the dark, it was clearly seen that wrinkles were formed for a while in his forehead.

He asked bluntly, “Are you really not willing to receive the gift I gave you?”

Astelle sighed.

“I ate the food that Your Majesty gave me just before.”

“I’m not talking for playing with words.”

In the deep darkness, the red eyes continued to stare at him without blinking.

He seemed to piss off but unexpectedly, he said, “Yeah, you must be pissed.”
