Chapter: 755
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Astelle bit her lip.
Astelle couldn’t keep her mouth shut forever. After all, it was something she had to say someday.
“The assassination in the forest–”
“Astelle.”
A low voice interrupted her.
When she looked up in surprise, red eyes were staring straight at her.
“Never mind the past. To me, the most important thing is that you and Theor are safe.”
“……”
That means he will cover up everything in the past for Theor and Astelle.
Astelle suddenly recalled the memories in the forest.
Kaizen was wounded and bleeding in the dark and dense forest.
But he said that he would cover it all for her and Theor.
Along with relief, guilt came to her.
Kaizen changed the subject as if to evoke the atmosphere.
“Anyway, there are two empty seats now.”
After the overthrow of Marquis Croychen, the position of Minister of State was vacant, and now the position of Minister of Home Affairs is also vacant.
“It would be great to give one to the new Duke.”
“Brother Fritz?”
Astelle looked back at Kaizen, surprised.
“He is old enough for that. He also did a very good job cleaning up the West.”
If it had been in the past, Fritz would have reached that level by now, even if he hadn’t inherited the dukedom.
But it was different then and now. The emperor himself said that he would give the position of prime minister to the new owner of the Reston family, whom he had been hostile to until recently.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Astelle sincerely thanked him.
The two walked in the garden without saying a word for a moment.
