Chapter: 901

Vellian apologized for what he had done, then raised his head again.

“But in the meantime, I… … .”

Vellian, who had been talking up to that point, was silent again.

‘However, I’ve worked so hard for the sake of the Your Majesty… … !’

Astelle looked at him and said coldly, “Regardless of any intentions, you are wrong to keep an eye on the innocent Gretel.”

Vellian felt injustice upon hearing that.

‘But isn’t it true that the empress and the young duke acted suspiciously?’

“Your Majesty, please help me.”

Vellian endured the shame and humiliation and begged Astelle to help him.

Astelle answered bluntly, “I have no reason to help you.”

“Your Majesty, please… … .”

Vellian almost cried. “I know I shouldn’t ask the empress for this kind of request, but… … .”

“Why did you come here knowing that?” Astelle asked in a very calm tone.

Astelle couldn’t even imagine Vellian coming to visit her. But he was braver than she thought.

“That’s because things got too big. The emperor will kill me if he knows the whole story,” he said with a sad expression.

Astelle just stared blankly at him without answering.

She doesn’t think Kaizen will kill Vellian, but obviously, he will be severely punished.

Moreover, Kaizen has his nerves sharpened by dealing with the work that has been pushed back these days. Kaizen deserves to be angry.

“Yeah, I’m sorry about your situation. I will persuade His Majesty to send Sir Velian as a lower-rank official in the North. Would this be enough?”

“North?”

“Yes, I heard that the Milstad estate needs a lot of management.”

Vellian looked at Astelle with dazed eyes.

“Isn’t that in the far north?”

“You know the geography of the North well. It will definitely be of great help to the lords there.” Astelle spoke calmly in an emotionless tone.

Vellian stood stunned and listened to her, then became angry.
