Chapter: 921

Was it so bad that Kaizen, who was sleeping outside the door, heard it?

“But I am fine now.”

Kaizen looked at her and sighed silently.

“But don’t overdo it.”

Did you come here worried that I might not feel well?

That seems like a compulsory consideration, but it’s not bad.

Astelle just smiled bitterly.

The two still slept in the same bedroom. As before, Astelle slept in the bed and Kaizen slept on the sofa outside.

Their affection has developed enough to be called lovers, but it has not yet developed into a relationship beyond that.

Rather than that, it seems that there was rarely an opportunity to cross the line.

“I guess because it was cold. I am fine now, so you don’t have to worry. Besides, this greenhouse is very warm.”

Rather, it was Kaizen’s health that worried her–although he said he could still live even after the autumn passed.

“I’m glad you like this place.”

This is a large greenhouse that Kaizen built in the Empress Palace.

There is white frost on the outside of the glass wall. Even though it’s winter, it’s warm like spring inside, because the firewood gives endless warmth.

Even though Astelle insisted that Kaizen was too extravagant, he did not give in to his stubbornness, using Theor as an excuse.

“I can’t let little Theor play in the cold garden.”

However, as soon as it snowed, Theor ran around the snowfields every day with Blynn.

He was so busy playing with the snow that he didn’t pay attention to the flowers blooming inside the greenhouse.

Thanks to that, this greenhouse became Astelle’s private resting room.

“We’re done preparing for the trip.”

“That’s fast.”

They should be leaving in a few days, but the preparations are already done.

“You can go to your grandfather’s estate.”

Her grandfather’s estate is also in the east, and the boundary of the estate stretches to near the rural villa where Astelle will be staying.
