Chapter: 904

“Thank you for your generous disposition, Your Majesty.”

“I’m glad it went well.”

It was not until evening that Astelle heard the whole story.

Kaizen asked a bit dissatisfied, “Why did you ask me to send him there?”

Kaizen still seems to want to punish him more severely.

Astelle didn’t sympathize with Vellian either, but he was still a close aide who had worked hard by the emperor’s side.

Even now, half of the ministers have been killed or kicked out, and if he even kills his aide, it will also harm Kaizen’s reputation.

In fact, in this case alone, Vellian’s suspicions were justified.

“The rebellion has been suppressed in the North recently, so I think there will be a lot of work and a shortage of manpower.”

If he was going to get kicked out anyway, it would be better to send him to a place that needs him and make him work.

Vellian is a competent bureaucrat who used to work with the emperor.

He will do his part wherever he goes.

‘Given Vellian’s personality, he will work very hard because he wants to come back.’

Of course, since Kaizen is furious because of this, he’ll never be back in a few years.

I remember the words Vellian shouted displeasedly during the day.

Did he say I would send him to the countryside to enslave him?

Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s wrong.

Still, I don’t feel much sympathy.

“Sorry.”

Astelle raised her head at the low voice.

Red eyes filled with complex emotions looking at her.

“Why are you apologizing to me?”

“I think I’ve made it difficult in many ways,” Kaizen replied avoiding her gaze.

There was still a complex feeling in his voice.
