Chapter: 609

“You have to sleep now.”

“Your Majesty.”

Theor muttered, resting his face on the pillow and closing his eyes.

“My mom wouldn’t have said no. My mom liked Your Majesty a lot.”

“Who said that?”

“Grandpa.”

The ‘grandpa’ he was referring to was Astelle’s maternal grandfather.

“Hm…… I’ll sleep now.”

After saying those words, Theor closed his eyes and fell asleep.

‘Did Astelle like me?’

Kaizen thought it was ridiculous.

‘It was probably just something the old Marquis said to little Theor.’

If Astelle liked him, she wouldn’t have accepted the divorce so easily.

Even after seeing each other again, Astelle was still cold to him.

Kaizen thought Astelle couldn’t possibly have any romantic feelings for him, as she must have had a hard time living as the prince’s fiancée.

‘Astelle did her best, but I unilaterally left her.’

So it wasn’t surprising that Astelle didn’t put her trust in him.

The moonlight shone through the bedroom through the blue curtains of the windows.

Suddenly, he remembered the blue gem necklace, which he put around Astelle’s neck when he was ten.

On the day of the divorce, Astelle left the necklace in the Crown Prince’s bedroom, where the two had spent their first night.

Kaizen had ordered that the gem that lost its owner should be put back into the treasury.

‘……’

Kaizen has not been able to return it to Astelle.

He even proposed to her half-forcefully and held a grand wedding under the pretext of a contract, but he wasn’t brazen enough to give the gem to her again.

Nevertheless, he could not give up on Astelle.
