Chapter: 799
On a small plate, there are two round cookies filled with sweet cream.
Theor looked up at Kaizen, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Kaizen ate one of the cookies Theor had spread cream on. The taste of soft cream that is not too sweet and the crunchy and savory cookie melt in his mouth.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t taste bad.

Astelle returned to the Empress Palace only after the sun had set.
“Where’s Theor?”
“The Crown Prince is in the bedroom and has already had dinner.”
Hannah, who came out to greet Astelle, replied so.
It’s already past time for dinner.
“I have prepared dinner and bath water.”
“I have to finish my work for a bit. Tomorrow will be busy again.”
“Oh, Your Majesty… … .”
“What?”
Hannah said a little hesitant. “His Majesty the Emperor is waiting in the study.”
Kaizen is in the study?
He usually spends time with Theor and meets her in the bedroom.
Does he have something to say?
“Well, okay.”
“Shall I prepare some tea?”
“No need. I’ll call you back later.”
Astelle entered the study.
There was a chill in the dark study room.
It was almost summer, and the night air was cold today.
“Astelle.”
