Chapter: 51
The emperor wasn’t a person that sends something to a woman, even though he needed to get the woman’s favor because of the empress dowager’s will.
Besides, the emperor’s gaze looking at the woman at dinner was…… it was really amazing.
Marianne has seen countless glances between lovers in the social world even since before adulthood.
After worrying about that for a while, Marianne pulled the string and called the maid.
“Brings the maid chief here.”

“Because the weather is not good.”
Vellian explained to Astelle why they have stayed here for a few more days.
“As you can see, it looks like it’s going to rain. Local residents say that when the weather is like this, a storm comes soon after. Maybe it’s better to wait for a while to be safe. And…… Lady Marianne also has a severe headache so we couldn’t continue the journey even though the weather is good.”
Vellian paused for a moment with a very agitated expression and continued, “So we are going to stay here until the day is clear and Lady Marianne is healed. Even if you feel frustrated, please be patient.”
Originally, she was going to stay here for about a day and continue the journey right away.
Yesterday morning, Vellian told her to wait without saying anything, and now he explains why.
Astelle smiled as if she understood everything.
“It’s okay. Never mind.”
In fact, she wasn’t okay at all.
She was so annoyed about why the journey was delayed.
She wanted to go to the castle where her grandfather was as soon as possible.
That way, she can leave Theor to her grandfather and send him back home.
She couldn’t leave the child to someone she doesn’t know, and she couldn’t even call her grandfather here.
His grandfather’s whereabouts can be reached only a few days from here.
Astelle thought a lot in her head with a calm smile.
After a short thought, Astelle, who organized her thoughts, asked Vellian, “I…… can I write a letter to my maternal grandfather in Dentsu Castle? I think he is worried a lot about us.”
“Oh, of course, just send me the letter first and I’ll send it to him right away.”

It was this morning that she get permission to write a letter to her grandfather.
