Chapter: 949
The marquis looked at Astelle and said worriedly, “Your Majesty, you look tired. I have prepared meals and bath water, so take a rest today.”
Astelle was a little embarrassed to hear that she looked tired.
In the eyes of her grandfather, she may seem tired of suffering from the snow.
‘…….’
Astelle glanced at Kaizen.
There was not the slightest hint of tiredness on Kaizen’s calm face. Astelle seemed to be the only one who was tired.
As she recalled last night’s events, her ears spontaneously burned red. Astelle shifted her gaze to forget last night’s memories.
Still in the marquis’ arms, Theor raised his head and asked with a lively face, “It was fun going home. Can’t we go again today?”
The marquis asked, “Wasn’t the snow scary?”
“Theor was asleep and didn’t see it,” Astelle replied.
“Can I go again? I want to go and play again.”
“Not today. Let’s wait for the snow to subside a bit.”
Kaizen took Theor from the marquis’ embrace with both hands.
The marquis smiled calmly at Theor. He asked, “Shall we go to the pond behind the mansion instead? Let me show you ice fishing. Or you can go sledding nearby.”
“I want to go sledding!”
The marquis took Theor back, held him in his arms, and spoke quietly to the two of them. “Today I will take care of His Highness, so you two can rest in peace.”
“Thank you, grandfather.”
After returning to the mansion, as her grandfather said, she felt at ease.
Astelle took a bath and had breakfast with the help of the maids. Kaizen also seemed to want to rest while chatting with the knights.
While visiting her old house, her grandfather prepared separate bedrooms for Astelle and Kaizen.
They stayed together the first night they arrived at the mansion, but now they can each stay in separate rooms.
Theor went out as soon as he ate breakfast. It was impossible to go far because of the snow, so she planned to spend the day leisurely in the mansion.
Astelle was staying in the bedroom of her maternal grandmother, the marchioness. It was, of course, the most splendid room in the mansion. The dazzlingly beautiful furniture continued from the break room to the bedroom.
Astelle changed into comfortable indoor clothes and looked around the bedroom before she approached the window.
Through the window, she could see the snow-covered yard and the knights.
