Chapter: 555
***
As Kaizen was walking down the corridor of the Empress Palace, he saw an old man walking from the opposite direction and stopped.
He is Astelle’s maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Carlenberg.
The old marquis approached him and bowed his head.
“Your Majesty, the lord of the empire–”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to be so polite.”
When Theor’s birth was revealed, the misunderstanding about old marquis was also resolved.
At that time, Kaizen thought Astelle was suffering alone because of this old man.
But it was all a misunderstanding.
It was the old marquis who suffered while caring for Astelle and Theor.
“By the way, I couldn’t say thank you properly. I heard you got hurt trying to protect Theor. Are you all right now?”
The marquis bowed his head with a grateful look.
“Thanks to Your Majesty, I recovered quickly.”
“Thank you for being with the Empress all this time. I hope you will live comfortably in the Imperial Palace from now on.”
The Marquis silently listened to Kaizen.
This young emperor was speaking as if he was giving him a great favor to let him stay in the imperial palace.
To be honest, the marquis wanted to return to his country house immediately.
He would not have returned to the capital if it had not been for Astelle and Theor.
‘But I’m relieved you seem to be in love with Astelle.’
He wasn’t very relieved.
Kaizen’s grandfather, the former emperor he served was also very fond of his wife, whom he had forcefully brought to the imperial palace at first.
But in the end, he quickly looked for other women.
At that moment, a low voice was heard next to the two of them.
“Your Majesty the Emperor.”
The Duke of Reston approached the two.
