I did request an audience.

I requested over thirty times to ask to meet you just once, but only now I've been able to meet you.

Astelle asked frankly"Your Majesty, how long do I have to be here?"

"Are there any inconveniences about staying here?"

Astelle was speechless for a moment.

Is there any convenience felt by the person who is in confinement?

"There is no inconvenience except that I can't go out."

There was no inconvenience in the mansion.

In the dazzlingly splendid bedroom, meals comparable to palace meals were served, and the maids served with care all day long.

"But I do not want to stay in this mansion. I have to go back to the East now."

"Stay here for a while."

Kaizen gave orders as if he was saying the most obvious thing.

Astelle was stunned.

"Your Majesty, but I have family waiting for me at home."

"I have sent knights to bring your grandfather and Theor back to the capital."

"I beg your pardon?"

'What did you do?'

I painstakingly made Theor leave the capital, but you're going to bring him back here?

'How could this be?'

If I could, I wanted to push Kaizen in front of me and get angry.

"Isn't it enough for you to keep me in this mansion?"

Kaizen looked at Astelle's resentful eyes and said pitifully,

"The child should be with you. Do you think making him leave the capital will solve your problem?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. What problem do you mean?"

Astelle asked, barely managing to contain the rising anger.

Now her biggest problem is Kaizen locking her up here and not letting her go home.

Kaizen bit his lip as he was about to say something.

Astelle knew what he was trying to say.

'You, a princess, gave birth to an illegitimate child. Do you know what people are talking about right now?'

Maybe that's what he wanted to say.

Astelle didn't care what the world said about her.

As long as there were no rumors of Theor's birth, she didn't have to worry about what people were talking about.

After a while, Kaizen said carefully,

"I sent a proposal to your father."

Now I'm tired of being surprised.

"The imperial court started preparing for the national wedding. At the earliest, in two months, we will get married."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. What part of the word 'refuse' did you not understand?"

Kaizen's expression hardened at the cold response.

How dare she say this in front of the emperor.

However, Kaizen wasn't mad at her at all.

He looked at Astelle with the light of his eyes that showed painful anguish.

"I can't let you be insulted. This time, I will make sure you never suffer."
