Chapter: 924

Astelle looked around the inside of the temple. It’s small and has a quiet atmosphere. It is a typical small temple in the countryside, but it is neat and tidy.

It seemed to have been prepared with sincerity for the visit of the emperor and his party.

She would surely regret it if she did not stop by the temple.

“It’s a really clean and neat place. You have taken good care of it.” Astelle expressed pure admiration.

“Thank you for saying that, Your Majesty.”

Excited, the priest looked at the large boxes brought by the servants and asked, “Your Majesty, these are…….”

“These are winter supplies and essential medicines for the people here.”

Although they were already distributing enough winter supplies to other regions, it would be a kind of sweet story if the emperor’s party showed charity while passing by.

It is also good for packaging the purpose of the trip.

So Astelle deliberately prepared it.

She also brought a separate donation to the temple.

Everyone must have prepared a lot to greet the emperor’s party, so she wanted to repay them like this.

As Astelle was about to leave, she heard a buzzing sound. People gathered at the entrance in no time.

They couldn’t get in because the knights were blocking them, so they gathered outside to see Astelle.

“Who are they……?”

“Ah, they are the villagers who came here to see Your Majesty the Empress.”

Ah.

Upon closer inspection, most of them are farmers in old clothes.

When Astelle looked at them, they clumsily lowered their heads or bowed.

“Thank you for coming to welcome me.”

Astelle beckoned to the servants.

“Give them some gifts.”

When the servants handed out the items they brought, the villagers were embarrassed and moved.

“Th- thank you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress.”
