The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59

Ashika kept bursting into bright, cheerful laughter, surrounded by nobles.

Yet she never forgot to occasionally track Renev’s movements with her eyes. Noticing Ashika’s gaze, Duke Zalts asked pointedly,

“Might you be worried that something could go wrong?”

“Not at all. I trust you completely, Your Grace.”

Ashika smiled, her eyes crinkling softly. Duke Zalts clutched his chest and let out a pained groan.

At the look in the love-struck man’s eyes, Ashika gave a silent nod of satisfaction.
