Chapter: 591

“Do you like living in the palace, Theor?”

“Yes, I do. It’s spacious here, I can eat delicious sweets, and there is a pony……”

Theor counted the good points of living in the palace one by one with his fingers, and suddenly paused.

“Why?”

Theor lowered his hand.

There was a sullen look on his little face.

“But I don’t think my mother likes it here.”

“Huh?”

“My mom doesn’t look happy after coming here.”

“……”

Really, your observation skills are too good.

“Can’t we go back to our house with Mom, too?”

The marquis pondered for a moment and said, “We can’t. Your mother is now married to the emperor and became the empress. So she has to live here.”

Astelle had told the marquis about her marriage contract with Kaizen.

However, the marquis thought that Astelle would not be able to leave even after the contract period was over.

Also, she couldn’t possibly leave young Theor alone in the imperial palace and go to the countryside.

Fortunately, Theor quickly forgot the topic.

Theor picked up the brush again and was drawing trees and flowers on the paper.

While the marquis was relieved a little, Theor raised his head and asked again, “People get married to the person they love, right?”

“That’s right.”

Theor’s clear eyes looked at him with deep doubts.

“Mom and His Majesty got married in the past, but why do they assume it never happened?”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard that Mom and His Majesty remarried because they assumed their old marriage never happened.”

“Who said that?”
