Chapter: 960

I think it would be better to respect my mother’s wishes.

Astelle turned, looking out of the window.

“Theor really likes it here.”

“Theor liked this place from the start.”

“Will you return to the capital after winter?”

“Yeah, I promised to go back, so I have to go.”

Yes, he said he would stay here in the winter to manage the estate and head to the capital in the spring.

The marquis put the teacup down and looked at Astelle.

“Are you living like a real couple now?” he asked carefully.

Astelle who was drinking tea almost dropped her teacup in embarrassment.

“Why are you asking that?”

The marquis saw Astelle flustered and clicked his tongue.

“I have eyes too.”

Astelle smiled embarrassingly and put down the teacup.

“I’ve prepared another room for no reason.”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

The marquis slowly shook his head and then turned to Astelle again.

Then he asked with a slightly worried look. “Are you really happy?”

I think I’ve been asked a similar question before.

A lot of things have happened in the past 16 years, but at this moment, I was happy enough to forget all of them.

This time she was able to answer with real confidence.

“Yes, I am happy.”

The Emperor and his party stayed at the Marquis of Carlenberg’s mansion for nearly 15 days.

Astelle was also very happy, but later on, she wondered if she might be a nuisance to her grandfather by staying so long.

Still, her grandfather did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest and treated the Emperor and his party without shortage.
