Chapter: 97
“I can’t do that. I was going to go there anyway, so let’s go together.”
“I can’t bother Your Majesty. If I go quickly, it will take only 3 or 4 days from here, so I will take a carriage and leave first.”
“No, go with me. I can’t let you and a child go alone.”
“……”
At Kaizen’s unexpected reaction, Astelle groaned inside.
‘Didn’t you say you were going to stay here for a few more days because the weather was bad? Why do you suddenly want to go together?’
Astelle guessed that Kaizen was extending his stay here for some reason.
Even though he said the bad weather as the reason, the Kaizen that Astelle knew couldn’t stay in the secluded castle for a few days for that reason.
She didn’t know for what reason, but she thought he had more to take care of here……
She couldn’t even insist on going to Dentsu Castle alone when Kaizen offered to go together again and again.
She would look suspicious if she kept insisting on going alone.
Having made such calculations in her mind, Astelle had no other choice but to thank Kaizen.
“……yes, Your Majesty. Thank you.”
Contrary to what she planned, she went with the emperor’s party. But the important thing was that she went to the Dentsu Castle where her grandfather is.
Anyway, if she goes to her grandfather’s place, she’ll be able to send Theor back.
She should be more careful during the 3 or 4 days going together with the emperor and his party.

As he rode in the carriage, Kaizen looked out the window.
The rain, which had been falling before departure, faded before dawn.
The sky from which the rain clouds disappeared was dyed with a light silver-gray color.
Looks like it won’t rain anymore.
All of the party was in a hurry to move toward Dentsu Castle.
Originally, he was going to leave after staying a little longer, but the situation has changed.
It was because of the marquis, Astelle’s maternal grandfather.
When Astelle heard the news that her grandfather had suddenly fallen ill, Astelle wanted to leave quickly, so she left earlier than expected.
