Chapter: 796

‘I was planning to go with you today.’

There was a lot of work he had to do, but he himself had purposely avoided going with Astelle. Because he knew his presence would make Astelle uncomfortable.

‘I can’t avoid you forever.’

There used to be a hope that one day Astelle would accept him, because back then he didn’t know how her feelings.

He thought they could start over. But now it was hard to imagine Astelle would accept him.

All he could do now was apologize to Astelle and do what she wanted.

If Astelle wants to leave in five years….., he has no choice but to let her go. He himself does not deserve to hold her.

“Your Majesty, are you going to the stadium?” asked the butler.

After a brief thought, Kaizen turned around.

“I’m going to the Empress Palace.”

On the first day of the harvest festival, the Empress Palace is also busier than at other times.

The Empress and Crown Prince are in the stadium, but the remaining maids and servants are busy preparing for the following schedule.

Tomorrow there will be a grand dinner in the Empress Palace, and the day after tomorrow will be a tea party and a masquerade.

Hannah walked down the hallway, double-checking the schedule.

This is Astelle’s first major event after becoming the Empress, so nothing could be missed.

As the sun went down, the palace became busier than before. Because it was time for the Empress and Crown Prince to return.

As she returned from checking the empress’ room, Hannah walked down the hallway and found a servant entering the crown prince’s room.

“What are you doing?”

The servant, who was walking inside with a small tray, stopped at Hannah’s voice.

He said, “I was preparing a snack for the Crown Prince.”

He is a young servant serving the Crown Prince.

Hannah glanced at what he was holding. It’s a glass of drink and snacks in a small bowl. At a glance, there’s nothing out of the ordinary about it.

She’s too busy to have time to look into the details.
