Chapter: 485

“Levin!”

Theor took the old teddy bear and held it in his arms.

“Theor, Grandpa must be tired from coming a long way.”

When Astelle blinked as if giving instructions, Hannah took Theor outside.

Astelle went into her room with her grandfather.

He said it wasn’t serious, but her grandfather’s wound was worse than she thought.

His left arm could not move and he had a scar on the back of his head.

The Marquis sighed as Astelle looked at his injured arm.

“I should have protected Theor no matter what. It’s pathetic to be old.”

“Don’t say that. I’m glad you weren’t badly hurt.”

It was heartbreaking to see her maternal grandfather injured.

It looked like she was about to cry, but she held it back.

If she cried in front of her grandfather, he would feel even more guilty.

“I decided to take Theor to the Imperial Palace.”

Astelle explained the situation to her grandfather.

“……that’s how it happened.”

After hearing Astelle’s explanation, the Marquis sighed long.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s better than letting Theor go there alone.”

Astelle spoke very calmly, but there was a painful look in her eyes.

However, she immediately regained composure.

If she shows signs of sadness with her grandfather in front of her, her grandfather would be even sadder. Because Astelle had to go through an unwanted marriage and was forced to return to the Imperial Palace.

Astelle took her grandfather’s hand quietly.

“Do not worry too much. It’s just a formal contract marriage.”

“When are you going to enter the Imperial Palace?”
