Chapter: 774

Astelle reached for a yellow flower among the weeds, but another hand went ahead of her.

Kaizen brushed the dirt off the yellow flower petals he had just picked and handed it to Astelle.

“Thank you.”

“What is this?”

“This is an Indic flower. Drinking this flower decoction can make you sleep soundly.”

Kaizen paused and then asked, “Do you have insomnia?”

“Sometimes I wake up because I have a lot of things to worry about. It’s not even insomnia, but it’s okay.”

Kaizen did not respond.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

After walking for a few minutes in the weeds, Kaizen suddenly asked, “Do you miss the days of living in the countryside?”

Astelle turned to Kaizen.

Even under the bright sunlight, his red eyes looked particularly dark.

“I don’t know.”

Living in the countryside was difficult, but peaceful.

There was nothing to worry about as long as our daily meals were met.

The only thing that bothered me was that I had to make new clothes for Theor, but I was only thinking about how to buy the fabric.

‘It was definitely peaceful life.’

In those days, as long as she had enough money to buy food and firewood, and her grandfather and Theor were in good health, there was nothing to worry about.

“There’s no point in missing it now. It’s not like we can turn back time.”

It’s all in the past. No matter what you do, there will be no way back to those days.

At the end of the five-year contract, Astelle and her grandfather can return to the countryside, but not with Theor.

Even if it was possible to take him away, it would be too difficult for Theor, who had lived as the Crown Prince in the Imperial Palace for five years, to have such a life again.

Silence enveloped them again.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

“What?”
