Chapter: 626
Recently, the emperor stopped by here for a while, and then returned to his palace.
All he did was meet Theor and chat with Astelle for a while.
It was the situation after their quarrel over the Croychen family affairs.
‘From the perspective of others, their relationship is in jeopardy.’
But the marquis knew that there was no such thing in the first place.
Astelle did not accept Kaizen from the beginning.
He thought it was a good thing at first.
Life as the wife of a man you don’t like will be even more miserable.
However, the marquis was a little disturbed by the sudden change of Kaizen.
The Duke of Reston wasn’t wrong either.
The contract between Astelle and Kaizen, and the situation of Astelle and Theor, depend entirely on Kaizen’s heart.
If Kaizen loses his affection for the two of them, he will probably throw them away without keeping the contract or anything.
‘What a ridiculous situation.’
It’s sad to be forced to get married, but now Astelle has to work hard to win Kaizen’s heart.
Just thinking about it made him angry.
“The emperor’s servants have already brought another woman. We can’t just sit back and watch,” the duke broke the silence.
The marquis asked in surprise, “A woman?”
The former emperor, whom he served, was infatuated with women.
In those days, there was not a single day of peace in the imperial palace because of the emperor’s concubines.
The duke looked at the marquis’ surprised face and clicked his tongue.
“Well, one day the emperor will lose interest in Astelle….., I expected this day to come, but it happened so sooner than I thought.”
The duke himself needed a little more time to regain his influence.
Until then, Astelle must win the emperor’s heart.
“I’m happy though. Even if the emperor has lost interest in Astelle a little, he is very affectionate to the prince.”
So did the duke himself.
