Chapter: 619
“S-sorry?”
Naen raised her head in surprise.
“To my older sister?”
“The Croychen family has withdrawn from the front line because of the Marchioness’ sin, but Lady Florin is innocent. If I leave it like this, the path of her marriage will be blocked, so I want to help. It is the duty of the empress to protect her people and provide a home for them,” Astelle explained with a friendly smile.
“Yes……”
It was a reasonable explanation.
Originally, the empress was supposed to take care of and support noble ladies whose families had fallen or who had no guardians.
Naen seemed to understand but was still confused.
There was a bit of fear in her gentle-looking eyes.
Florin tried to hurt Empress Astelle, so why is she trying to help?
I guess it might be a conspiracy or something scary.
Maybe that’s what Naen was thinking.
‘Obviously, Florin had asked this naive little sister of hers to get information about the empress’ palace.’
The maid watching Naen said she saw Naen secretly meeting a maid.
When Florin hears about her marriage, maybe Florin will think Astelle is trying to get her revenge by forcing her to marry an unworthy person. Thus, she will plan a trifling plot again.
As Astelle was lost in thought, the maid rushed in and announced, “Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived.”
Before she could even respond, Kaizen came in.
Astelle rose from her seat.
Kaizen walked in and stopped when he saw Naen.
He cast an unpleasant look at Naen, who was bowing her head.
Astelle quickly let Naen go.
“Miss Naen, you can leave and rest now.”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Naen stepped back carefully and walked out.
Before the door could even close, Kaizen let out a sigh.
