Chapter: 711

In the drawing room, the Count of Ecklen was waiting for her.

He said, “I heard that the Prince fell ill, so I came to visit.”

“The prince is fine now. Thank you for your concern.”

Count Ecklen spoke as he looked at the box he had placed on the table.

He said, “I have prepared some medicine to help the Prince recover his health.”

Astelle understood why her mother once had a close relationship with this man.

Even though this man is in a high position, he has an honest and naive impression.

Astelle smiled lightly as she thought about it.

Just thinking about what happened to her mother and this man makes her feel a little uncomfortable and sorry.

‘I don’t think he’s a bad person.’

Astelle doesn’t want to be hard on this man.

She doesn’t need to be cold towards him either.

“Thank you. This way, please.”

Astelle talked to Count Ecklen for a long time that day.

“Seibel always compliments the Prince on how clever he is.”

Seibel is the nephew of Count Ecklen.

It is said that he is his nephew who lost his parents when he was young and was adopted by the Count.

The two exchanged light topics such as the story of Seibel, Theor, and the Count’s estate.

It wasn’t long, but the more they talked, the closer they felt to each other.

They hadn’t known each other, so it was a strange thing.

Astelle said with a little hesitation.

“I heard from my grandfather about the old days.”

Count Ecklen was perplexed for a moment, but he soon smiled softly.

“I forgot all the bad things in the past. I don’t have the least bit of a grudge against the Marquis, so don’t worry.”

Had he forgotten about my mother?
