Chapter: 613

Kaizen came to the empress’ palace every evening since that day, and he returned before nightfall.

Seeing him playing with Theor, he didn’t seem angry.

He also treated Astelle as usual.

Astelle didn’t mind because it didn’t bother her, but she was a little worried about how others would see.

“The courtiers of the imperial palace are talking about the two of you.”

Hannah heard a rumor among the courtiers of the imperial court.

“What do they say?”

Hannah looked at Astelle with worried eyes.

“They think you two had a fight.”

It wasn’t quite wrong.

Some of them might have heard of the quarrel between the two of them in the imperial palace on the day Naen came to testify.

From that day on, Kaizen slept in his own palace.

Anyone who sees it would think that they were still having a fight.

“No worries. The courtiers here don’t say such things, do they?”

“The servants and maids of the empress’ palace have been taught not to speak recklessly.”

“It’s fine then.”

You can’t stop people from gossiping anyway.

Just don’t let Theor hear anything.

“Your Majesty, Miss Naen has come.”

“Tell her to come in.”

As the maid opened the door, Naen in a plain dress came in.

Naen bowed with a frightened face.

“I greet you, Your Majesty the Empress.”

“Miss Naen.”

Astelle brought the girl to the empress’ palace and left her alone for several days.
