Chapter: 908
It seems that he was worried inside that there would be trouble again when Astelle went to meet the duke after not being able to refuse her biological father’s request.
After the heavy conversation, Lyndon went out.
When only the two were left, Kaizen wrapped Astelle’s hand and carefully comforted her.
“Are you okay?”
Astelle nodded without answering.
Kaizen put his hand on her shoulder and slowly pulled her into his arms.
Astelle closed her eyes, feeling the familiar warmth.
“I’m sorry for causing trouble because of my father.”
“Don’t say that.”
Hugging her tenderly, Kaizen said, “This is not your fault. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Her heart was warmed by his friendly consolation.
At the same time, Astelle wonders if Kaizen might have poisoned her father.
Kaizen said he would lock the Duke in the abandoned palace and kill him quietly. Astelle herself did not know how he would kill him.
‘Did he try to kill him by slowly weakening him?’
She was curious but kept those questions in her mind.
She thought she didn’t have to ask about it.
After a while, Kaizen gently released her.
He said, “You look tired, go in and rest first.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Astelle got up from her seat obediently.
If she stayed here any longer in this heavy atmosphere, fatigue would only increase.

Kaizen went out only after making sure Astelle had gone to the room.
“Call Lyndon.”
The servant at the end of the hall quickly ran outside after hearing his order.
