Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 118

Red eyes filled with disappointment at the title of ‘Your Majesty’ and overflowed with sadness. It was as if she saw Lang’s face when she took her snacks.

Annie flinched and added her words in haste.

“Um, Sir Ejed.”

“Yes. I’ll definitely tell you.”

After making a promise several times, Ejed stopped walking. At some point, the Imperial Foreign Ministry was in front of her.

It was an unspoken promise between the two to keep as far apart as possible at Annie’s workplace.

She rubbed the floor with her shoes for nothing, immersed in her thoughts. Today, the distance between the palace and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which generally seemed long, felt short.

‘But now, I have to go in and take a look at my work. There’s a lot to do.’

Slowly she was about to say goodbye, but he spoke first.

“Annie, do you have an appointment after today?”

There could be no such thing. Even the young ladies in the group avoid appointments with her by telling her to focus on their work as much as possible, and her families were trying to ease the burden.

It was embarrassing to say that there was none, so Annie answered vaguely.

“There is nothing specific.”

“What do you usually do after work?”

“I go back to the mansion and eat dinner, work, rest, and study. I usually study Yulfbe’s dictionary or practice conversation.”

After answering, she felt a little different about the active Ejed.

‘Ah. Do you need urgent counseling for a relationship?’

Because of her busy work, she didn’t even care about his progress with the Lady. She thought she should listen to him, but she hears an unsettling concern.

“Aren’t you unable to watch magic news because of work these days?”

‘Ah… right.’

Annie smiled awkwardly as she recalled the previous bazaar. She ran away at 6 o’clock on the pretext of magic news.

Maybe he’s sarcastic. Annie asked as she smirked.

“Is that what you had in mind at the time?”

“No way. I’m just worried…”

Yes. Even if no one else knew, Ejed wasn’t like that.

Ejed continued to ask about this and that toward Annie, who was relieved.

“Are you busy tomorrow too?”

‘As expected, you have something to say.”

Annie, completely grasping the idea, nodded her head. He’s not the kind of person to be holding onto someone else going to work.

She brought out the proposal Ejed wanted to hear the most.

“Shall I see you after tomorrow?”

“Really?”

As his questioning face brightened, Annie felt sorry again. Although they have become close, it seems that he has not yet been able to say his request as it was.

‘You can just tell me openly.’

The caring Ejed was different from those who brazenly expressed their feelings.

He was always considerate and careful. He tried to figure out whether the other person would be uncomfortable or burdensome.

She had heard rumors of his previous war activities, but she experienced a man with natural goodness all over.

It’s funny that she’d never marry, but if she had a daughter, she wanted to marry him.

Anyway, she had to make an appointment in a place and time that would not be noticed by the people around.

If so, this place facing the back door was perfect because most people don’t come here.

After telling him what time he wanted, Ejed nodded his head broadly.

“Yes. I’ll definitely come to pick you up tomorrow.”

“Alright. Then I’ll just go in. If I’m late, I don’t think the kind-hearted seniors will like it very much.”

“Annie, wait a minute.”

Suddenly, Ejed held out his hand in fists. His pale hands stood still as if they were about to bump into each other.

‘It’s the cheering method I told you before, but you’re using it well.’

It was like a new communication between the two of them. Annie, who smirked, reached out and clashed with her clenched fist.

Clack.

“Cheer up today.”

“Sir Ejed
too.”

The two people who faced each other smiled.

“Seeeeeeeeeevvvv! Stop it!”

“Kiing, Kiing.”

Sev vigorously stirred the ceiling of the office as if teasing Doher. A cold sweat formed on Doher’s forehead.

Where did His Majesty bring this monster from? No, rather than that, the guy who was sleeping well suddenly wakes up, so there is no other horror.

Even when it stopped, Doher wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. He could not hold a monster with his hands as an ordinary human.

Sev, who had been clinging to the ceiling upside down like a bat, sat quietly on his shoulder.

Doher was stunned.

“You. You don’t come when I tell you to.”

“Kiing, kiing.”

Sev’s large pupil blinked as if it was noticing. It was cute, so Doher stroked it.

‘It’s like a monster that attracts people anyway.’

Fizz, too, was trembling at first because he was scared, but now he was to the point of giving it snacks.

The wind made Sev’s round body plump a little. It looked good, but it was also a concern for Doher.

‘You can’t get too fat.’

The handsome eyebrows frowned.

If it gained enough weight to make it difficult to move, that was also a kind of abuse.

‘Should I suggest to His Majesty to cut down on snacks?’

Originally, Sev was raised by Ejed alone, but in Doher’s opinion, the two split it.

It was challenging to raise a monster alone as the Emperor in any case. So Doher readily suggested that he raise this together with Ejed.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one public servant of the Empire as far as assisting Ejed.

‘Even you have to be careful with Sir Fizz. It’s a problem because he gave me too many snacks.’

Sev grunted and rubbed its demonic tail around his body as he pondered hard.

Doher, who likes small and cute things, also fell in love with it.

“You bastard. Don’t make trouble in the Imperial Palace so as not to embarrass His Majesty. Okay?”

“Kiing.”

Its red eyes blinked innocently.
