Chapter: 550

Vellian, who was dozing off, woke up in surprise as soon as the door to his office opened.

“Your Majesty?”

Kaizen was walking into the office with a cold expression.

Vellian looked at his dark red eyes that were filled with anger and hurriedly lowered his head.

“Where is the Marchioness?”

“N-now Sir Lyndon is directly interrogating her in the investigation room–”

Kaizen cut off his stuttering explanation and said coldly, “Do whatever it takes to get her to admit her actions.”

Astelle woke up early in the morning.

A bluish light shone through the curtains.

Astelle got up and opened the curtains. The dark view brightened.

Kaizen kept his promise.

He returned to the Imperial Palace at dawn.

Astelle put on a shawl and opened the bedroom door.

As soon as she closed the door, she saw Kaizen lying in the lounge.

‘I thought you had returned to the Imperial Palace.’

At dawn, she heard the sound of the door closing.

At that time Kaizen who was in the lounge went out.

Feeling uneasy, Astelle thought about going back to sleep.

‘Why did you come back?’

Well, if the emperor goes to his palace on the first night of his honeymoon, there will be a lot of gossip.

Kaizen lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

He must be very tired.

Astelle walked carefully so as not to wake him up.

“Astelle.”

Just as she was about to walk past the sofa, his low voice stopped her.
