Chapter: 595

The marquis hated Kaizen for a long time, but these days, whenever he saw this young emperor, he sometimes felt a little strange.

As far as he knew, no emperor loved his son this much.

There was also no emperor who was so devoted to the empress.

However, Astelle was still cold to Kaizen, and Theor did not call him father.

‘It’s a little sad.’

It would have been nice if Kaizen showed this side of him from the beginning.

Still, at least Kaizen wasn’t a playboy like his grandfather. Even after he divorced Astelle, he remained alone for six years without mistresses or concubines.

The marquis suddenly wondered what the past Kaizen thought of Astelle.

Did he just think of her as an annoying fiancée?

Or did he have any other thoughts?

‘Well, whatever he had thought in the past, it was all useless now.’

Pulling Kaizen’s hem with his small hand, Theor asked, “Can’t we play chess in my mom’s room tonight too?”

“Tonight……?”

Kaizen was at a loss for words at Theor’s naive question.

For a moment, there was a shadow over his handsome face.

Still holding Theor, Kaizen glanced at the marquis, and said, “Let’s do it together here today.”

Naen was walking down the corridor of the empress’ palace.

The empress’ palace was not as grandiose as the emperor’s palace, but it looked more splendid.

Naen blankly followed the maid. She didn’t know where she was going.

She was ordered to follow the maid without explanation.

“This is it.”

The maid opened the door at the end of the hallway.

A small but neatly decorated guest bedroom could be seen.

“You can stay here for a while.”
