Chapter: 756

The sun is starting to set and the leaves of the garden are dyed red.

The red sun shines on the pure white petals blooming on the flower bed.

“Astelle.”

A low voice stopped her footsteps.

When she stopped and turned around, Kaizen was looking at her.

“I have something to give you.”

“Yes?”

Kaizen pulled something out of his pocket.

It’s a small ring. Intricately crafted ring with a dazzling blue jewel on it.

“This is……”

Astelle knows what the jewel is. There’s no way she’d forget it.

It was the blue jewel she received on her engagement day when she was ten.

Wasn’t it a necklace before?

“I made it for you.”

“Your Majesty, but this is……”

Astelle pondered for a moment.

This blue jewel was given to the bride by the imperial family. So when she divorced and left the Imperial Palace, she also left this jewel behind.

Kaizen handed the ring to Astelle. Instead of putting it on her finger, he just put it in her hand.

“Five years after you have this……” He paused for a moment, as if holding back his emotions, and then continued, “If you want to return it, just do it.”

The contract period set by the two is five years.

Kaizen’s words mean that she can leave after five years.

“Are you going to let me go?”

He replied without any hesitation. “I promised to let you go.”

It was a calm voice, but there was deep pain in those short words. Astelle realized that this is why Kaizen recommended Fritz.

So that Astelle can leave safely even after five years.
