Chapter: 685
Even if he was Theor’s teacher, this was too much.

Kaizen managed to contain his anger and walked toward the pavilion.

“Your Majesty.”

Two people who were talking found him and stood up.

“Astelle. You must have been waiting for me. Sorry, I’m late.”

Astelle replied indifferently, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I was having a short talk with Sir Seibel who came to say hello.”

The tone was blunt, but there was a mix of criticisms saying that he only came to say hello, so don’t be angry like the last time.

Kaizen said nothing.

Because every time he sees Seibel and Astelle together, he gets annoyed for no reason.

Kaizen turned to Seibel, suppressing his anger and forcing a smile.

“You put a lot of work into teaching the prince, but I haven’t even praised you yet.”

He wanted to quip “Do you have so much free time?”, but he had no choice but to say it as a benevolent emperor.

Seibel bowed his head in embarrassment.

“Your Majesty.”

“Please take good care of the prince from now on.”

Astelle was looking at him with a little surprise.

Kaizen avoided her gaze.

Count Ecklen had brought news of signs of rebellion in the North.

I should send Seibel to the North at this point.

I have to appoint someone else as Theor’s teacher.

An old scholar might be a good choice.

Astelle returned to the empress palace in the evening after the garden party was over.

It was near midnight when she met her maternal grandfather again.

While Kaizen was in Theor’s room, Astelle saw the opportunity and went to her maternal grandfather’s study.
