Kaizen stopped by the empress' palace, met Astelle, and returned to his own palace.
Shortly before he returned, he came to see Theor too, play with him and have dinner.
His mood was a little nuanced when Theor proudly wrote a few sentences that he had just learned today.
Kaizen hid his sad feelings and praised Theor to the fullest.
It felt good to see young Theor gradually adjusting to life here.
On the other hand, his relationship with Astelle remained unchanged.
All they did was do their own thing every day, chat for a bit in the evening, and then go to bed.
The topic of the conversation ended with a brief description of what happened that day.
These days, he seemed to talk more with Vellian and other ministers than Astelle.
This is what contract marriage is supposed to look like.
I had a hard time figuring out how long I had to live like this.
"Your Majesty, I brought you a tea."
He turned his eyes to an unfamiliar voice and saw a maid standing there.
She was a young maid with red hair.
'Did she say she was a new maid?'
I don't know if it's just my feeling but I saw this maid very often recently.
The red-haired maid looked at Kaizen with sparkling blue eyes.
She has a pretty face.
'I don't think she's a cautious person.'
Did the butler say he brought the maid himself?
He brought a new maid all of a sudden.
A young maid who looks so young and inexperienced.
Kaizen would be an idiot if he didn't notice what this meant.
'I didn't know my servants were this sincere.'
Everyone seems to be short of work. He kicked the maid out while thinking of increasing the workload from tomorrow.
"Yeah, leave it there."
"Yes......?"
The maid looked up in surprise.
"I told you to leave it there."
At his annoyed tone, the maid bowed her back with a sullen face and walked out slowly.
After a while, a servant approached him and bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, the Prince has sent you a present."
"Present?"
The servant handed him a small box.
"It was brought by the servant of the Marquis of Carlenberg. It seems that the Crown Prince has asked to give it to Your Majesty."
What the servant brought was a wooden box the size of a palm.
It must have been the toy box in Theor's playroom.
Kaizen opened it and found a picture folded in half.
"The picture was drawn by the prince himself. He wanted to give it to Your Majesty."
The servant explained with a smile.
As he said, a lot of things were drawn on a small piece of paper.
The first ones he saw were Theor and Astelle.
