Chapter: 535

“At that time, this grandfather did not recognize the prince and was rude. I’ll beg for forgiveness now, so please forgive me.”

The Duke of Reston knelt down on one of his knees and was at eye level with Theor.

Then he asked with a benevolent expression, “What should I do for you to forgive me?”

Hearing his apology, Theor peeked out from behind the chair, hesitating.

There are many scenes in children’s books where someone apologizes for their mistakes.

Astelle also said that if someone sincerely apologizes, it’s good to forgive them.

He didn’t want to forgive this bad grandfather much, but this man said that he was his mother’s father.

He was shocked when he first heard about it.

Theor said reluctantly, “Then I will forgive you.”

“Thank you……”

“But don’t come here anymore, bad grandpa.”

The duke hardened for a moment then smiled friendly.

Just then, Astelle entered the drawing-room.

“Theor, go to your grandfather.”

As always, Astelle’s ‘grandfather’ was Astelle’s maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Carlenberg.

Theor came out from behind the chair.

“Yes.”

After Theor left the drawing-room, the Duke of Reston sat down with an annoyed look.

“Tell him that I am his grandfather.”

He grumbled at Astelle, “Even though I come here often and treat him warmly, nothing has changed.”

The Duke of Reston frequently visited the Empress Palace during the daytime when Kaizen did not come. The purpose of the visit, of course, was to get close to Theor.

The duke went to great lengths to convince his young grandson.

But no matter how friendly he was, Theor still hated him.

“He’s still young, so he doesn’t know much about relatives. When he grows up, he will understand by himself,” Astelle comforted her father in a calm tone.

“Yeah, when he gets a little older, he’ll know that I’m his grandfather and there’s no need to avoid me.”
