Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 123

Annie also kept the royal duties silent to her family. But she told Carla sometimes about things that were publicly revealed.

“Carla, this time I’m in charge of the designer Sanel.”

“Ah. Sanel. Good job.”

Carla, who would typically ask for Sanel’s autograph, was quiet for some reason. She just put on a Sanel dress that would suit Annie and make her look good.

It seemed to help her focus on her work, so Annie was grateful but felt sorry for her.

‘It would have been nice to have met Carla too.’

Annie swallowed her heart and entered the waiting room after knocking. Then she saw a blonde woman standing by the window.

Her upright posture was imposing. The black dress and a silver brooch symbolizing Sanel were embedded in her left chest.

Although Sanel was much younger than she had imagined, her blue eyes looked empty. The strange atmosphere that she exudes is like an artist just by looking at it.

‘She’s tall… like His Majesty. She was born to dress well.”

Annie, who admired her for a moment, slowly approached her.

“Hello, Miss Sanel.”

Sanel did not respond. Upon closer inspection, she was doing something. Sanel was working hard to draw something with the little pen and paper.

‘What are you drawing? Maybe it’s the design of a new dress.’

Annie had a hard time fixing her eyes on what was about to go down. No matter how curious she was, she had to endure it. That’s not polite.

“I’m Annie Mill Dsev. It’s an honor to meet you…”

“Annie?”

When she revealed her name, Sanel responded.

Her voice was as cool as the autumn wind yet had a rich reverberation.

“Yes. I am Annie Mill Disev.”

Sanel, who raised her head, looked closely at Annie. She was like someone trying to dissect with her eyes.

Annie, feeling a subtle burden, smiled awkwardly.

‘…Do I look strange?’

She wasn’t great looking, but she never heard that she was ugly.

But looking at her like that, she was kind of nervous.

“Ah… it was you.”

After all, it seemed that she had received a letter from Demela before coming to the Imperial Palace. Since he is a thorough person, he must have passed on the information of the bureaucrats.

Annie admired his neat handling of work.

“Yes. I am the person in charge today. Please let me know if you have any questions or inconveniences after naturalization.”

Sanel put the writing instrument into her arms.

Annie trembled a bit as she fiddled with her chin and lit her eyes.

“Hmm.”

As Sanel stared at Annie’s dress, which accentuated her waistline, Sanel narrowed her eyes.

“You’re wearing a dress from three years ago. Did you get a limited edition?”

“Ah, yes. I worked hard to find it. I’ve been lining up since dawn…”

“There would be no need for that.”

Sanel, who muttered to himself, grinned. She walked to the sofa leisurely and turned her head behind.

It was as if she was saying to come and sit with her. As Annie hurriedly approached, Sanel sat down on the sofa.

Sanel rested her back on the leather sofa with her long legs crossed.

“What’s your favorite men’s outfit?”

Annie’s eyes widened at the utterly unexpected question.

‘Is the situation in need of an idea?’

It wasn’t a strange situation. Even though she’s a great artist, she’s often heard that she needs advice.

But why? At that moment, Annie remembered Ejed. To be precise, it was his straight legs and muscular physique.

‘Well. No one has a better outfit than His Majesty.’

“I like the Porkaus formal robes the best. The color will depend on the skin tone, but in general, indigo blue is the best.”

“What else?”

“Well. Wouldn’t it depend on the person wearing it? I think it’s better to wear something that’s neat and fits you well.”

As Annie straightly replied, Sanel raised the corner of her lips.

Her voice became softer.

“That I agree with. Rather, Annie Mill Dsev.”

“Yes?”

“Do you have any questions for me?”

“Ah… um. By any chance, can I get some autographs later?”

Sanel took out the paper and pen and gave her a few autographs with a grin. Annie was reminded of Carla as the elegant handwriting was drawn on the paper.

“I have to take care of it as Carla’s share.”

After that, Sanel talked to Annie in earnest about how to import items needed to make her clothes and miscellaneous goods.

Annie, who had written the story on the parchment she had prepared beforehand, was relieved to herself.

‘I thought she might be a little sensitive because she’s an artist…’

It was fortunate that Sanel was not a picky person. Rather, she was relatively concise, but it was good to tell her honest feelings.

After talking to her, Sanel raised her slender body. She said gracefully as she brushed the long blonde hair with one hand.

“I’m done with business, so I’ll go.”

“Ah. Do you have any more questions?”

“Let’s talk about that together next time.”

Annie was puzzled by Sanel’s words with a strange smile.

‘Are we seeing each other more?’

Could it be referring to the former representatives of Sanel? Annie, who was guessing inside, followed to see off Sanel.

Suddenly, in front of the familiar front door, Annie called her.

“Excuse me, Miss Sanel.”

The eyes, which were a little more cloudy than today, touched her cheek.

“Before… you asked me if I had any questions.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Annie asked with courage.

“As you may have said in an interview before. I remembered Miss Sanel said that a man’s true love moved you.”

The interview caused a stir on the continent for a while that Sanel was dating the people of the Porkaus Empire.

Everyone was curious about the subject, and rumors were floating around. But its identity was not revealed.
