Chapter: 966

But she didn’t bother asking, because she also wanted to know the results right away.

After a while, Gretel went back.

Sitting quietly by the window, Astelle was looking at the garden full of flowers.

Fragrant flowers and green leaves adorned the garden beautifully.

Memories from long ago came to mind.

Six years ago, the moment when she first learned of Theor’s existence and felt confusion and fear.

She had to flee to the countryside, frightened of losing her baby.

At the time, there was no time to appreciate and rejoice in Theor’s existence.

But this time is different.

Astelle carefully placed her hand on her belly. There is no sign of it yet, but new life is growing within it.

That fact filled her with joy. And this time there is one more person to rejoice.

It was after sunset when Kaizen went to the Empress Palace. He went looking for Theor first as usual.

Theor was playing in the garden today too.

After seeing Theor, Kaizen went to Astelle.

“Her Majesty the Empress is in her study.”

“At this hour?”

The sun has set, why is she still in her study?

I told her to rest because she looked tired this morning.

Kaizen came into the study to meet Astelle.

When he opened the door, he saw Astelle looking out the window.

“Astelle?”

Kaizen came inside, looking at Astelle in wonder.

Astelle slowly turned to him and smiled.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

Kaizen approached her with a very serious expression.
