Chapter: 492

It was not unreasonable that she did not believe in him.

After he made an oath in front of God, he broke it in just one day.

‘……’

Suddenly, a memory from six years ago came to mind. It was around the time when the wedding date was set.

While preparing for the wedding, Astelle entered the Crown Princess palace and decorated the couple’s room for the two of them.

At that time, Astelle looked very happy.

Sometimes she showed him furniture and tapestries and asked him for his opinion.

“How about this, Your Highness? Do you like it?”

Of course, he was not very interested in the wedding.

“Choose as you please. I trust your eyes. Everything you pick will be great.”

He gave such a plausible answer every time.

Then Astelle’s cheeks reddened and smiled. It was the appearance of a happy bride-to-be.

Kaizen hopes Astelle will be as happy as she was back then.

However, Astelle, who has now entered the Empress’s Palace, looked around the splendid palace with indifferent eyes.

She even asked him to sign a contract.

‘A contract……’

Kaizen will somehow change Astelle’s mind before the contract period ends.

It’s never going to be an easy task.

“I don’t know how to change Astelle’s mind.”

Vellian, who was following him, heard his sighs mixed with complaints.

Vellian only listened without a word.

In such a situation, it was the role of the aide to cheer up by saying good things as much as possible.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it seemed impossible at this time.

‘No matter what His Majesty may do, I don’t think Lady Astelle will change her mind.’

When he thought about the contract he had just written, it would be nice if Astelle could continue living in the Imperial Palace instead of changing her mind.
