Chapter: 578

“Astelle.”

“I greet you, Your Majesty.”

Unlike his subordinates, who acted submissively politely and kindly, Kaizen’s expression was cold.

He chased the officials away as if they were a nuisance.

“Get out of here. All of you.”

‘The atmosphere is unusual.’

Vellian went out with the ministers.

Just before the door closed, Vellian glanced at the emperor and his wife, who were standing together in the drawing-room.

Vellian was aware that their marriage was not as happy as it seemed.

In the first place, Vellian knew about their marriage contract.

His Majesty the Emperor spent every day in the empress’ palace, but it was clear that they were only a couple on the outside, and in fact, they were just strangers to each other.

Just by looking at Kaizen’s expression, which was getting darker day by day at a time when he should be immersed in the sweet dream of newlyweds, he could guess what was going on.

***

Florin, who was in the mansion, belatedly heard the news.

“It was fake?”

The nanny looked at Florin’s shocked eyes and nodded her head.

“Miss, calm down.”

The nanny calmed Florin down, worried that she might faint at any moment.

But Florin didn’t faint.

She was furious at Astelle at this point.

‘You sly woman……’

They purposely sent the fake secret letter and tricked us.

Florin believed so.

She also heard that the servant she ordered to deliver the secret letter was also arrested.

That meant Florin herself would soon be brought to the imperial palace for interrogation.
