Chapter: 927

“Once I finish my work here, I will go before spring.”

Theor was overjoyed to hear that, and so was Astelle.

She wanted her grandfather to stay in the Empress Palace, but she couldn’t say it because she felt like she was forcibly holding back her grandfather, who had regained his estate.

‘I’m glad to hear that.’

Most nobles leave their estates to custodians and stay in the capital.

Astelle wanted her maternal grandfather to be like that too. She was worried about her old grandfather being alone in a distant region.

“Your Majesty the Empress, would you like to look around the mansion?”

Since it was in front of people, the Marquis treated Astelle with respect.

“Sure. I came here eagerly hoping to see this place again,” Astelle replied with a sincere smile.

The marquis called a servant and told him something. After a while, a woman who appeared to be the housekeeper appeared and bowed calmly.

“Greetings to Your Majesty the Emperor and Empress, the rulers of the Empire.”

She is a tough-looking woman in her old age. Astelle recognized who she is at a glance.

“Sierra? You used to be the handmaiden here, right?”

A long time ago, this woman was the handmaiden of Astelle’s maternal grandmother in her youth.

A touch of emotion flashed across the face of the housekeeper’s skinny face.

“You remember me, Your Majesty,” she replied.

“Of course I am. How can I forget?”

“I will guide you around the mansion.”

With a gentle smile, the housekeeper guided the three of them.

Even after the passage of time, the marquis’ mansion did not lose its beauty and elegance.

The first place she entered was a familiar bedroom.

“This is my lady’s bedroom.”

“My mother’s…….”

As a child, Astelle stayed here every time she visited the mansion.

Astelle looked around the bedroom slowly and was filled with emotion.
