Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 128

Ejed, with only one arm removed, took the spellbook out of his arms.

Riip-.

When he tore the spellbook with his teeth, the background changed instantly. The gloomy Dsev garden was familiar geography from his time as Jade.

Ejed went through the secret door that Annie had told him about the other day and arrived in front of the bedroom. There are guards in front of the main gate, but fortunately, no maid was passing by inside.

Ejed quickly arrived in front of Annie’s bedroom.

Creak.

“…I have come again.”

He was more used to it than the first time, but he was still nervous. Of course, there was silence in the bedroom. There were only a few candles in the silver candlestick glimmering and burning.

Ejed went into the bed and laid Annie on the bed. A dark smile spread across his face.

“Ummm…”.

Once again, be careful. Ejed removed the bed sheets and covered Annie’s neck with the blanket.

He stared at her silently, then quietly headed out of the bedroom.

Creak.

Ejed, who was going out into the hallway, stopped.

Someone was standing through the gap in the slightly opened door.

It was Carla, who had a lamp in her hand and reached out to the doorknob.

“……”

“…….”

The two were speechless. In particular, Ejed felt the cold sweat running down his back.

No matter how heavy-mouthed, even Karla, who was devoted to Annie, would find this dangerous.

A young man who is not married or even dating in the first place is caught in the bedroom.

It was difficult to explain because the person in question is currently in a deep sleep. Above all, he is a tyrant who is feared both inside and outside the empire.

Ejed clenched his fists. There’s nothing good with getting involved with him.

‘If I make a mistake, Annie’s honor will be lost because of me… ..’

Carla’s eyes widened as if surprised, but she didn’t scream.

She took a step back, gaining her sanity faster than Ejed. It looked like she was coming out.

Ejed pulled his arm back out to the hallway and closed the door silently.

“Uh, what should I do?”

It felt like his brain was hardening. Carla was Annie’s favorite maid, like her family.

He had to look good. But in what way does he look good?

Then, Carla bowed her head in courtesy.

“May the goddess make you full of blessings.”

Tension was evident in Carla’s eyes as she raised her head again. But she did not avert her gaze.

Rather, it felt like his soul was being pierced by the eyes that were trying to take a closer look.

Judging from the fact that she had the bare minimum of courtesy even in this terrific situation, she was indeed Annie’s maid.

No, this was not the time to be casually admiring.

‘…let’s calm down.’

Ejed rolled his head to come up with any excuses.

But then, a soft voice was heard.

“Did you come again?”

“……”

“Welcome, Your Majesty.”

Ejed was shocked at the moment. For Carla, he was ‘Jade.’

Did she notice that!

But Carla smiled and said.

“The flowers were very pretty before. The lady liked it very much. She still keeps them in her office.”

‘If it’s a flower… … . Ah.’

It was a relief. What Carla noticed was that he was the flower delivery man.

As he sighed in relief, Carla whispered with a meaningful smile.

“I actually know everything.”

“……”

“Do you like the Lady?”

Rumble crack craash!

A sudden thunderstorm came from outside.

Ejed’s face reflected in this was ashen.

He thought, of course, that anyone but Doher could notice.

But that’s Annie’s favorite maid and one of the people she’s been with for the longest time!

Carla looked at him in his confusion; she said kindly.

“I really want to put a bridge between the two of you.”

***

‘Ah….my  head.’

Annie sighed as she rested her forehead on her pillow. She had a throbbing headache as if she had fallen asleep after shaking her head all night.

Still, she had no problem getting her body up, thanks to the hangover drink beforehand.

‘I have to prepare for work.’

As Annie raised her body slowly, she screamed without realizing it.

“Ah! You scared me!”

Carla leaned against the door and stared at her with a smile.

Annie, who found Carla, widened her eyes.

“Carla. Why are you here?”

“I was waiting for the lady to wake up. Come on, have some honey tea.”

Perhaps she was not lying; Carla brought one of the pre-prepared glasses to the table.

The cup with hot steam rising up filled with a sweet scent.

“Thank you.”

As she gulped down the tea, Carla grinned. That was suspicious, Annie asked, narrowing her eyes.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Lady. Do you remember what happened yesterday?”

“…… yesterday?”

Annie traced her vague memories.

‘By the way, it was the dinner party yesterday.”

Obviously, she remembered the fact that she had beaten the two Lords and said goodbye to all of her seniors.

But after that.

She had no memory of it as if black paint had been sprayed on it.

It doesn’t look like she’s up to anything, seeing her come back to her bed so well.

Annie asked Carla carefully.

“Did I make a mistake?”

“No. That can’t be true.”

“….. Really?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Carla stood in front with a smile, saying that she would pick out her dress.

Annie tilted her head as she could feel her excitement just by looking at her back.

“Carla. Did something good happen?”

“Yes. There is.”

Did the kids get any awards at the academy?

She guessed as she heard Carla’s hum.

“Wake up. You must go to the Imperial Palace.”
