"I've checked all of this, so pass it to the housekeeper."

Astelle handed over the document to Hannah.

It was about a harvest festival that would be two months later.

There was a lot of time left until the day of the event, but since it was such a big event, she started preparing early.

From the first day Astelle became Empress, she gained authority to manage the Imperial Palace.

Some would be concerned that the daughter of the Duke of Reston, who opposed the Emperor, took over the household of the Imperial Palace.

Without hesitation, Kaizen entrusted Astelle with all the imperial households.

It wasn't too difficult. Because even when she lived as the prince's fiancée, she also helped with the affairs of the imperial palace.

After all, Astelle was familiar with it.

"Where is His Majesty?"

"He is in the bedroom with the prince."

Astelle got up and went to the bedroom.

Kaizen has not missed a single day to sleep in the Empress palace since the first night of the wedding.

That way, the nobles considered the emperor and empress as a good married couple.

'Though everything is completely different from gossip.'

Kaizen came every day to have dinner with Astelle and Theor but slept on the sofa outside the empress' bedroom.

Others will shock if they find out about this.

The Empress sleeps comfortably in her bed but His Majesty the Emperor sleeps on the sofa.

Astelle didn't want Kaizen to sleep on a sofa either.

She repeatedly offered, "You can use the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa," but Kaizen flatly refused.

He insisted on saying that the sofa was comfortable.

'But it looked very uncomfortable......'

How long is he going to continue like this?

After some time, she had to tell him not to come.

It would be better if rumors spread that the imperial couple split rooms instead of putting the emperor on the sofa every night.

Kaizen and Theor were sitting by the window in the living room attached to the bedroom.

A black and white chessboard was placed on the table in front of the two of them.

"Mom, I learned how to do this!"

Said Theor who was sitting across from Kaizen holding a chess piece in his hand.

"I was teaching Theor how to play chess. He's pretty good."

Black and white chess pieces are scattered on the chessboard.

'Looks like you both had fun.'

As before, Theor and Kaizen got along very well.

Astelle hugged Theor and kissed him lightly on his forehead.

"It's getting late Theor, go to your room and sleep."

"Yes."

Theor got down to the floor and looked at the two of them.

"Good night, Your Majesty, Mom."

Kaizen looked calmly at Theor, who was led by the maid.

He seemed to have gotten used to the title of His Majesty by now.
