Chapter: 748
It had been a long time since he had asked Theor out with Astelle, and that was what happened.
The Viscount turned white and only trembled.
“Remove Viscount Bürgen from his post and put him in prison.”
“Your Majesty……”
The Minister of Home Affairs looked back at the Emperor and the surrounding officials with a pale face.
But no one came forward for him.

When things got to this point, there was no one to defend him.
The emperor’s knights approached him.
The Minister of Home Affairs went out with the knights without saying a word.

Moments later, Astelle met her father in the reception room of the Empress Palace.
As soon as she heard the news about the Minister of Home Affairs, the Duke visited the Empress Palace.
“It ended very easily.”
Astelle expected it to end quickly, but it was solved more easily than she thought.
It was a disappointingly simple ending. Astelle’s pure response made the Duke smile with satisfaction.
“That’s because he’s stupid.”
Astelle recalled the middle-aged minister of the Home Affairs that she had met several times before.
He certainly didn’t look very capable.
The same was true of his niece, whom she had met once before.
But there was one thing that intrigued her.
“How did you get the Croychen family seal?”
The seal belongs to the head of the family, and even family members cannot use it recklessly.

The Duke, who was holding a teacup, glanced at Astelle.
