Chapter: 895

Astelle left Kaizen and went out to the drawing room.

“Brother? What’s going on?”

“Your Majesty.”

Seeing him in light clothes and only a coat, it seems he came here in a hurry. As Astelle remembers, this is the first time he’s come to the palace in such comfortable clothes.

Did something urgent happen?

Feeling anxious, she approached him quickly.

“As you commanded, I was monitoring Miss Gretel and caught a suspicious person,” Fritz got straight to the point.

Astelle contacted Fritz immediately after hearing about the intruder from Gretel.

“Good. Where is that person? You must have held him well, didn’t you?”

“Yes, but… … .”

Fritz hesitated for a while.

“He is one of His Majesty’s investigators,” he said.

“Is he the emperor’s investigator?”

Astelle stared at him blankly.

His Majesty’s investigator was watching Gretel?

While she was bewildered by the unexpected result, she suddenly realized something.

Astelle recalled a conversation she had with Seibel during the day.

The main topic was the post-processing of this case. It was said that the emperor’s investigators were investigating the case and had captured the nobles involved.

Seibel told such a story and carefully said that Vellian was suspicious of her. 

At that time, she listened indifferently.

‘Because I’m sure Vellian isn’t the only one who suspects me.’

After hearing from Fritz that the investigator monitoring Gretel had been arrested, Vellian came to mind.

‘Did Vellian do it?’

“Where is the investigator now?” Astelle asked Fritz.

“For now, he is under my protection.”
