Chapter: 727
Kaizen must have been aware of the rumor too.
On the night of the accident, Astelle talked with Kaizen until late.
Kaizen reassured the anxious Astelle.
“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you.”
It was a low, captivating voice.
“……”
Astelle stood facing him in the bedroom.
Once again, it was clear that Kaizen was a strong man.
His firm-looking body wrapped in muscles seemed to be strong enough to resist any kind of hardship.
She wasn’t sexually attracted to this man.
Even so, Astelle struggled to shake off the subtle atmosphere.
But it was true that she was relieved to be with Kaizen.
Kaizen carefully took a few steps closer.
“Astelle.”
He stroked Astelle’s pale cheek and lips lightly, comforting her. His warm hand touched her ear.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Astelle smiled, clasping his hand lightly.
“I will help Your Majesty too.”
After that night, there was a more comfortable and friendly warmth between the two.
It was funny considering that there were rumors circulating inside the palace that the empress was trying to kill the emperor.
It was the fifth day after the accident. The butler came directly from the Imperial Palace.
“The Emperor sent you a gift.”
Astelle looked at the boxes laid down by the servants and quietly traced her old memories.
I think this has happened several times before.
Kaizen has sent gifts a few times before, but I’ve never been happy to receive them.
