Astelle turned. “I have to go back. Thor will be waiting after class.”
Kaizen said a little regretfully, “Okay. I’ll see you in the evening.”

She returned with Theor’s excuse, but when she reached the Empress Palace, Theor was playing in the garden.
“He went to the east garden with the maid.”
“Did he?”
Astelle was slightly surprised to hear Hannah’s report.
The east garden is at the end of the Empress Palace.
“I think he’s familiar with the gardens nearby and wants to go somewhere new.”
Well, that’s understandable since he’s always been stuck in the Imperial Palace.
Theor is only five years old, but he has a lively and inquisitive personality.
Apparently, he seemed to be feeling even more frustrated since she brought him to the theater a while ago.
No matter how far he is now, he is still in the Empress Palace, so there is no danger.
“Then, I have to go to the east garden too.”
Astelle went out after organizing the rest of her work.
Hannah said she would go with her, but she didn’t need a guide.
Astelle walked east along a beautiful flowerbed.
After passing through familiar nearby gardens, she saw an unfamiliar landscape.
She once again realized how vast the Empress Palace is.
It’s been a few months since I’ve been here, and I’m still unfamiliar with this place.
As she was passing by the pond she saw for the first time, she heard a familiar voice behind the bushes.
