Chapter: 568

Astelle widened her eyes.

Florin and Fritz are more than eight years apart.

“I’ve been trying for years to find a bride with good blood for Fritz, but all the prestigious families have been wiped out.”

Now that all the families that could be called prestigious families had disappeared, no young lady could be a match for Fritz’s.

“Yeah, well, her family will collapse anyway.”

The duke looked at Astelle while smiling with affectionate eyes.

“At this point, we have to get rid of the Croychen family. I’m sure the emperor will make it happen if you ask for it.”

“……”

Astelle didn’t answer.

The collapse of the Croychen family, who continued to plot useless conspiracies and nuisances on her, was welcome.

But she had no intention of empowering her father.

‘Because my father will soon be like Marquis Croychen.’

Kaizen was playing with Theor in the garden at sunset.

Astelle looked out the window and saw Theor wielding something in his hand.

Curious about what it was, Astelle got closer and found that it was a wooden sword for children.

Theor grabbed the small wooden sword in his small hand and swung it vigorously.

It was a simple move, but he was working so hard that his white cheeks were red.

“Theor, what are you doing?”

“Mom, I learned swordsmanship.”

Theor ran to Astelle with the wooden sword.

“Look at this! It’s my sword!”

Theor held up his sword and swung it with all his might.

It was cute to see him work so hard that his little body staggered.

“That’s great.”
