Chapter: 530

Astelle called in a maid to bring hot water.

She brewed tea by putting herbs in a teapot and pouring boiling water over them.

It was the same herbal tea she had just made for Theor.

It has a calming effect on the mind.

“Thank you.”

Kaizen, who took the teacup, looked up at Astelle and smiled faintly.

“Thank you for protecting Theor, Your Majesty.”

“Don’t mention it. It is natural for a father to protect his son.”

Kaizen said it was a natural thing to do.

Astelle was grateful for his affection for Theor, but on the other hand, it was funny.

“If Your Majesty had not put your young son on a horse, there would have been nothing to protect.”

“……”

Kaizen frowned, as if thinking it was unfair, but he couldn’t refute it because Astelle was right. He drank the tea without saying a word.

“You’ve seen the wedding dress design right? Do you like it?”

After a brief silence, Kaizen put down the empty teacup and spoke again.

Then, he looked at Astelle’s reaction.

Astelle recalled the design of the wedding dress Vellian had brought.

She handed it over to Hannah without even looking at it properly.

“It’s just something I’ll only wear for one day anyway.”

Suddenly, Astelle remembered her wedding day in the past.

At that time, she was happily preparing her wedding dress.

‘Because I was young then.’

She designed her own wedding gown, imagining a happy future.

“I hope you like it, though.”

Kaizen looked her in the eye and continued, “If you don’t like it, I’ll make it all over again. You can do whatever you want.”
