Chapter: 925

Some villagers seem to be more interested in Astelle than gifts. They looked up to Astelle as if she was a saint in a temple.

Although this place was not far from the capital, it was like a dream for the farmers living in the village to see the imperial family and even the empress up close.

Then came the footsteps of the knights approaching.

Kaizen opened the door to the corridor and came in.

“Astelle.”

“Your Majesty the Emperor……!”

The startled priest bowed deeply.

The villagers also knelt down, buzzing at the sudden appearance of the emperor.

Astelle also bowed very politely.

There were people watching, so she had to be calm and courteous to the emperor like a decent empress.

“Your Majesty, what brings you here?”

Kaizen was bewildered to see her showing polite manners.

“I followed you because you went out without a word.”

She was wondering what would happen if the villagers heard it, so she turned her eyes slightly.

Fortunately, the villagers are at the entrance of the temple, so they can’t hear their conversation well.

“I stopped by for a bit to give the people here some gifts.”

She didn’t expect people to gather like that.

“Where’s Theor?”

Kaizen smiled and said, “Since the lord of this place showed him the lambs, he didn’t even pay attention to me.”

Astelle held back her laughter at Kaizen’s sad voice.

An image of Theor, distracted by the lambs and ignoring Kaizen, flashed before her eyes.

“I have to go back quickly to feed him dinner and put him to sleep.”

As she was about to go back, she saw people standing at the door, looking at Kaizen with admiring eyes.

He does have a handsome face though.

“Astelle.”
