Chapter: 676

The Duke of Reston, standing next to him, said proudly.

Even on a day like this, he tries to win a child’s heart by giving him gifts.

“Yes, grandfather gave them to me.”

Theor seems to have gotten used to his horrid maternal grandfather in his own way.

Theor was busy carrying the soldiers on a small military ship.

The duke, who was looking at him with a smile, held out his hand.

“Can this grandpa of yours help you?”

Theor avoided his hand and hid his dolls in his arms.

“No.”

“……”

The duke’s smile hardened. I still don’t think they’re close.

“Theor, go and show it to your grandfather.”

Theor ran to Astelle’s maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Carlenberg.

The Duke of Reston, who was looking at Theor in disappointment, turned his gaze to Astelle.

“I brought you a present too.”

“I do not need it.”

“Do you refuse even before you see it?”

The duke grumbled at Astelle’s refusal.

However, as people were watching, he did not lose his smile.

He lowered his voice.

“It is a precious thing brought from beyond the mountains. The scent of an unmarried woman that attracts men.”

“Just use it for yourself.”

“What am I supposed to do with that?”

The Duke of Reston asked back in annoyance, still not losing his smile.

Astelle didn’t answer.
