Chapter: 946

Sometimes even the three of us would be isolated inside the house.

Luckily, they managed to survive while burning firewood which was always prepared beforehand. And the young Theor rather enjoyed being trapped in a house buried in snow.

“I was surprised to see the house you and Theor used to live in.”

A low voice broke the cozy silence in the room.

Astelle put down her glass and turned to him. Kaizen was watching the flames burning in the fireplace.

“I knew it was hard, but I didn’t expect it to be that much… … .”

“It’s all in the past.”

Astelle deliberately spoke in a light tone. “And I had a lot of fun here too.”

There were times when it was difficult, but it was a comfortable life.

After escaping from the life of a princess, she was able to experience many things that she could not have imagined.

“Do you want to come back here?”

Astelle turned her head at the unexpected question. Kaizen’s serious eyes were looking straight at her.

“If you want to come here once in a while, do it. You don’t have to give up your position as empress. You can repair and expand the house to make it a detached palace and use it as a resort for the imperial family.”

“This is my grandfather’s land.”

“I will ask the Marquis.”

It seems that he meant to buy part of the estate from the marquis.

“It’s okay.”

Whatever life was like here is in the past. It is better to leave memories as memories.

“If I miss this place, I can visit my grandfather’s estate from time to time. No need to do the construction work just because of me.”

She had decided to live the rest of her life in the imperial palace anyway.

A warm, callused hand landed on Astelle’s hand that rested on the armrest.

Astelle raised her head.

His burning red eyes were looking at her.

Suddenly, her first meeting with Kaizen came to mind.

16 years since she first met him when she was ten years old. It’s been so long since she met Kaizen.
