Chapter: 697

Faint breaths continued to sound on the bed.

Theor was asleep, half unconscious.

Astelle wiped his sweat-drenched hair with a cold towel.

She stayed by Theor’s side all night.

She’s been like this a few times before.

When Theor had a minor cold or fever in the countryside.

Even when he had a fever from eating Lintail fruit before, Astelle stayed at Theor’s side all night.

But this time is different.

“Astelle.”

Because Kaizen is with her.

He stayed up all night with worried Astelle.

“You look tired, get some rest.”

“Your Majesty should sleep too.”

As the Emperor, he must have a lot of work to do tomorrow.

Astelle told him to go to bed several times, but he didn’t listen and didn’t leave his seat.

It was a hot summer night, but the firewood was burning in the fireplace for the patient in the room.

The dim light shone on the face of Kaizen sitting across from her.

Painful emotions flashed in his red eyes.

“It’s my fault.”

A low voice was heard.

“I took him out to the garden for no reason yesterday, and now he’s sick.”

“……”

He didn’t do it on purpose, and it wasn’t like he could predict that it would rain.

That’s not his fault.

‘He was okay when he got rained on in the past.’
