Chapter: 593
What did the crown prince say and what gift did he give.
There were many other stories similar to those.
Even then, the Marquis of Carlenberg did not like Kaizen very much.
He had been deeply displeased that cute Astelle had married the grandson of the emperor he had served–Emperor Gilbert–who had dishonorably kicked him out.
And although he had only seen him a few times when he was young, he found that Kaizen’s appearance was very similar to that of his grandfather.
The marquis, who knew the character of the former emperor well, had a slightly ominous feeling since then.
Still, looking at Astelle’s letter, they seemed to get along well, so he thought it would be different from what he was worried about.
In the end, it turned out like this.
‘……I should have stopped the engagement first.’
But he couldn’t break the engagement that had already been set.
At the time, Astelle was the most precious, honorable young noble lady in the empire.
Everyone thought it was reasonable for Astelle to be the crown prince’s fiancée.
The marquis shook off old memories and concluded the story.
“That’s why the two of them married a long time ago and then you were born.”
“I see……”
Fortunately, Theor seemed to believe his story.
Theor looked down at his painting for a moment, then tilted his head.
“But why my mom hates His Majesty now?”
“That’s not true.”
The marquis hurriedly denied it, “Your mother doesn’t like him very much, but she doesn’t hate him.”
“Really? Did my mom say that?”
“Yes.”
Of course, Astelle hated Kaizen very much now, but he couldn’t be so honest with the young Theor.
The marquis managed to convince Theor this time as well.
He felt very fortunate that Theor was still young.
