He seems to have gotten used to the castle as he continued to stop by the castle all the way to the capital to sleep and eat.

Until then, Theor had never been to a castle or palace.

Astelle looked at Theor and asked, "Did you like staying in the castle?"

"Yes. It was nice to have a large garden. There was a lot of delicious food."

Theor, one by one, said what he liked.

"And His Majesty was kind too."

"......"

"Do you know, Aunt Astelle? All the castles we used to be in are said to belong to His Majesty."

"Yes."

At those words, Astelle looked at Theor blankly.

The sun shone through the pale green tablecloth.

Like the cover of a cloth lamp soaked in sunlight, the inside of the table was lit up with a light blue light.

Theor's blue eyes also had a reddish glow.

Theor asked, "Grandpa said we had to leave tomorrow. Are we going back to the castle?"

"No. Now we have to go home."

Seeing Theor's eyes glowing red, I remembered Kaizen, who had asked me to stay here.

'I want you. Give me a chance to make up for the past.'

If I leave the capital, will we never meet again?

Or will we meet again?

For the sake of Theor's safety, I don't want to see you again.

'When the truth of the assassination is revealed, even if we do not want to see each other, we may meet again.'

The only hope was that more than ten days had passed since the incident and the identities of the assassins had not yet been identified.

It was fortunate that all the assassins were killed on the spot.

Because of that, it has not been revealed yet who instigated the assassination.

'As my grandfather said, this is probably not the first time my father tried to kill Kaizen.'

Theor saw Astelle's expression darkened and spoke as if reassuring her,

"Don't worry, Mom. I like the castle, but I like my house more."

"Yeah."

He was a lovely kid.

Now Astelle valued Theor the most.

I wish I could live comfortably in the eastern countryside like before.

But I felt anxious that I would never be able to go back to those peaceful days again.

Astelle suppressed her anxiety and approached Theor, holding her cute son tightly in her arms.

"Aren't you hungry? Do you want me to bring some cake?"

"Yes! I want to eat cake!"

"Then wait here."

Astelle went out, leaving Theor under the table.

She went out into the hallway to get the cake, but a passing maid found Astelle and ran to her.

"Lady, a guest has come to visit."

"Guest? Who?"

Could it be that Count Ecklen, whom I met at the temple earlier, came? I refused him to visit......
