Chapter: 857

“It’s hot.”

That’s what he said, but next to him was a pile of papers. It was a document that Astelle handled instead.

“You need to rest more.”

As Astelle nagged him, Kaizen closed his eyes and laughed softly.

“Why are you laughing?”

“You talk to me like you do to Theor.”

At his unexpected reply, Astelle looked at him in bewilderment.

‘Well, at least Theor listened to me.’

She wanted to say that, but she held it in.

Kaizen smiled while looking at Astelle, put down the documents, and stood up.

“Has your father left yet?”

Less than a day had passed since he took Gretel’s medicine and woke up. Nevertheless, Kaizen seems to have recovered his stamina to some extent.

“Yes, he just left.”

“Did he have any doubts?”

“Not at all. Everything went well.”

Kaizen was still supposed to be in bed, unconscious.

Only a few people, including Astelle and Gretel, knew that he had woken up.

Kaizen couldn’t take a single step out of the bedroom all day.

‘You must be frustrated because you’ve been in the bedroom all day.’

Astelle approached Kaizen and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

“What do you mean?”

Astelle avoided his gaze in embarrassment.

“I have to solve it this way… … .”

Originally, once the Emperor came to his senses, he would summon all the knights back to uncover the mastermind behind the poisoning incident and punish him according to the law.
