"I would like to ask you to allow me to continue taking care of Miss Naen."
It was the reward that Astelle had promised Naen for the price of confession.
Astelle begged Kaizen earnestly.
Kaizen didn't like it very much but eventually accepted it.
"Okay. Do as you please."
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the Croychens?"
Astelle didn't expect that Kaizen would be so angry about this.
When the Marchioness failed to poison Astelle before, she was not punished much.
Kaizen gave a cold answer with indifferent eyes.
He said, "That family has threatened you and Theor even before the wedding. At this point, I will execute them as an example."
"......"
The Marchioness of Croiychen had previously tried to kidnap Theor and also tried to kill Astelle.
Florin too....., threatened Astelle with a secret letter from Astelle's father, the Duke of Reston.
Astelle also wanted to get rid of the Croychens, which caused trouble every now and then.
But she didn't want to kill everyone in the family.
"I don't think it's necessary to kill them all," she said.
"What do you mean?"
Astelle persuaded Kaizen with a calm tone.
"Florin has just reached adulthood and Naen hasn't even, although they both had poison......"
The poison Naen had was not a lethal one.
Astelle replaced it with a similarly colored poison to ensure they fell into the trap.
She wondered for a moment if she should tell Kaizen about it.
'Will you blame me if you know the truth?'
Astelle looked at Kaizen as she pondered that.
The red eyes, which seemed cold at first glance, were filled with concern and affection for Astelle.
Astelle made up her mind after a brief deliberation.
She couldn't keep this a secret from him forever.
She didn't even want to lie to the end to anyone who looked at her with such eyes.
"Based on Miss Naen's confession, Florin didn't mean to hurt Theor, she was just trying to make a scene in the empress' palace."
"Why would she try to do such a thing?"
"Because I told her about finding a marriage partner...... She seemed to be trying to distract me."
Astelle spoke to him honestly.
From monitoring Naen, Florin's notes, then capturing Naen and forcing her to confess.
Astelle then tried to say that she changed the poison, but Kaizen cut her off as if there was nothing more to listen to.
"I know what happened."
However, Kaizen didn't have much sympathy for the actions of the Croychen sisters.
"It is a grave sin to bring dangerous drugs into the imperial palace for any reason."
He said firmly.
"Theor is with the dog every day. What do you think would have happened if things went wrong and our Theor took the poison or even touched it?"
