Chapter: 515

Due to Astelle’s meticulous nature, there wouldn’t be a second chance for her.

She had to succeed in one try.

“Prince!”

Theor, who was playing with Blynn in the garden, turned to the familiar voice.

Vellian, who was walking down the hallway, was coming out into the garden.

“Prince, you are here. Are you playing with the dog?”

Theor grabbed the fluffy ball of cotton and walked towards him.

“Hello, Count.”

“Oh no, you can talk to me comfortably.”

Theor tilted his head.

“My mother told me to use respectful words because you are a Count.”

“When did she say that?”

“Well…… in a castle with a hunting lodge in the forest.”

It was the first place he visited after meeting the Emperor.

He had been there for a few days and it kept raining.

Still, he met Blynn at the hunting lodge.

“Haha. At the time, I didn’t know you were a prince.”

Vellian smiled with a friendly face and muttered softly, “Astelle hid that fact thoroughly.”

As Theor looked up at him, Vellian hurriedly turned away.

“Prince, do you like this palace?”

“Yes, it’s nice here.”

Theor had become accustomed to life in the Imperial Palace in the meantime.

He became accustomed to the structure of the Empress Palace and learned the court manners taught by Hannah and his grandfather.

He also became more familiar with Kaizen, who came here almost every day.
