Chapter: 923

Kaizen was worried that he might be sad because he was the maternal grandfather he often met. Fortunately, no such thing happened.

Although he seemed a little shocked when he heard that the Duke of Reston was dead.

He pulled Kaizen’s sleeve and asked with a worried face,

“Will Mom be sad?”

“Well?”

“He is my mom’s dad.”

Theor looked up at him with clear eyes.

“I think my mom will be sad because she will never be able to see her father again.”

“…….”

Kaizen thought for a moment that he was glad he survived the poison and didn’t die.

He hadn’t thought about it because he was so busy with his hectic schedule for a while.

Had he died in vain, he would have been a lifelong wound to young Theor.

He would not be able to protect young Theor.

“Well.”

When he killed the duke, he was also worried that Astelle might get hurt.

But fortunately, Astelle did not seem to be very disturbed by the duke’s death.

Kaizen was deeply relieved. He didn’t want to hurt Astelle for any reason.

He lightly patted Theor on the shoulder with his gloved hand.

“If we both comfort her, she will be all right.”

The carriage carrying the party drove on the frozen road for half a day.

In the evening, they arrived in a small town near the capital. Although the sun has not yet set, they decided to rest here today in order not to overdo it.

While Kaizen entered the lord’s manor with Theor, Astelle decided to stop by a nearby temple for a while. The servants with large boxes followed her.

Near the manor, there is a small temple for the villagers. It can be reached directly from the manor through a small corridor. It’s small but clean and neatly decorated.

The middle-aged priest ran out to meet Astelle with a moved face.

He said, “It’s an honor for our temple to have Your Majesty the Empress stop by.”
