Ever since she became the Empress, they had argued about this matter several times.

‘Would it be better if I tell him in detail this time?’

“He has every reason to doubt me.”

Kaizen snorted. Then he said to Astelle.

“If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

After answering, the conversation paused for a moment.

There was again a comfortable silence between the two of them.

But she had invited him before, so she couldn’t help but meet him.

Astelle headed to the drawing room.
