Chapter: 635
“I apologize, Your Majesty.”
Astelle was dressed in a thin shawl over her pajamas.
In a damp garden.
Astelle, standing in a pavilion lit by a soft light, wearing white muslin pajamas, looked elegant and delicate.
Kaizen quickly turned his gaze away to hide the burning sensation in his ears.
“If you don’t mind, can I stay here from time to time?”
Astelle looked up at him, a little surprised.
Kaizen quickly added, “Don’t worry. I’ll sleep outside like before.”
He turned away from Astelle and muttered bitterly.
“I know I don’t deserve anything from you.”
“……”
Astelle stared at Kaizen without saying a word. There was a shadow on his face that looked lonely.
Is it because we’re alone on a night like this?
Today, Kaizen looks a little pathetic.
She sighed and then said, “I do not mind. Do as Your Majesty pleases.”

“What did the empress say?”
Florin, who had been quiet in the mansion, was furious when she heard the maid’s words.
This morning Naeun delivered the news from the empress.
The empress invited her to the imperial banquet and offered to find her a prospective groom, in place of her mother, the marchioness.
“A prospective groom?”
Her anger soared.
‘So you want to take revenge on me like this?’
Florin noticed what Astelle was thinking.
She intended to force her into marriage as revenge for the past.
