The accident itself was only a small explosion.

However, the aftermath of that incident was far greater than the actual explosion.

The party hurriedly returned to the Imperial Palace, leaving behind a few knights and soldiers.

The time to arrive at the Imperial Palace was short.

The place where the incident took place in the first place was not far from the Imperial Palace.

Moreover, because this had happened, the carriage drove down the road at full speed.

"Your Majesty? What happened?"

Theor asked while looking at the two people sitting silently.

He was asleep in Astelle's arms, but the sound of the explosion seemed to have completely awakened him.

Kaizen smiled sweetly, and with one hand, stroked Theor's messy hair.

"There was an accident on the bridge. The railing is old and broken."

"Really?"

Theor startled.

He blinked and said in relief, "I'm glad no one was hurt."

Kaizen smiled and ruffled Theor's hair.

"Yeah, that's a relief."

Astelle only looked at the two of them and said nothing.

***

As soon as the carriage passed through the gates of the Imperial Palace, it headed for the Empress Palace.

As soon as she arrived, Astelle changed her clothes, bathed Theor, and put him to bed.

Upon arrival, Kaizen immediately headed for his office.

He finished reporting today's incident to his men and went to the Empress Palace late at night.

It was after midnight when the two met again.

"Your Majesty."

Astelle, who was sitting by the window, got up and greeted him.

He didn't even have time to change clothes, so Kaizen was in the same outfit as before.

"Where's Theor?"

"He fell asleep a while ago."

It was late, so the palace was quiet.

The empress' bedroom in the center of the palace was also enveloped in silence.

"You must be tired, too. Get some rest."

Astelle didn't answer and was looking at him worriedly.

There's a complex look in her eyes.

Kaizen knew what Astelle was thinking about.

He himself had already passed down orders to his men in the office because of today's incident.

Vellian was bewildered for a moment and said he would find out right away what had happened.

'Who did it?'

There were a few people he could guess.

In the first place, the purpose of this work was so clear.

How dare you.

I will never forgive you.

Kaizen hid his anger and spoke reassuringly to Astelle.

"Don't worry too much. I'll take care of everything."

Astelle watched him still.

Kaizen showed Astelle a calm smile, just as he did to Theor.
