Chapter: 684
Seibel observed Astelle’s benevolent smile attentively.
Astelle maintained her flawless, elegant and dignified attitude as always, but today somehow felt a little different.
‘Why?’
From the first time Seibel saw her, he had a crush on this dignified woman.
When he heard that she had been expelled from the Imperial Palace as soon as she became Empress, he felt sad and sympathetic as well.
“The Empress framed Lady Florin to expel the Croychen family from the capital.”
Vellian said so and asked him to meet Naen in the empress palace.
He also asked him to approach the Empress naturally and build a friendship with her.
“The Empress couldn’t have done that.”
“……what do you know about the Empress?”
Vellian asked back as if it was nonsense. But Seibel did not bother to tell him about his stepfather and the deceased duchess.
Instead of explaining everything, he flatly refused.
“Even if what you say is true, I will not do the spying.”

Kaizen walked quickly down the garden path.
He was on his way back after leaving Astelle in the pavilion.
He wanted to return early but was late because the conversation with the Count of Ecklen had gotten long.
He walked so quickly to get back to the pavilion that he ignored all of the nobles rushing to greet him in the middle.
As he passed the flowerbed in the garden, he saw the pavilion in the distance.
He could see Astelle through the wide-open window. And next to her was Seibel.
‘Why is that guy with her again?’
I was away for a while, but in that brief moment, that guy appeared again.
Astelle was talking with Seibel inside the pavilion.
The moment he saw that, his anger rose again.
Why is that guy approaching Astelle so often?
