Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 137

unedited

Annie was slightly embarrassed because of Ejed’s answer as if it were natural. How untrustful/(how Ejed couldn’t trust Annie) was she? A thought struck her.

However, until recently, she was Ejed’s love coach, she wouldn;t expect such a disgrace.

‘Even a dinner party looked dangerous… .. I have to reflect.’

He doesn’t really blame or ridicule her, but she was stabbed inside for nothing. It’s not like she was fussing over what everyone else is doing at the company dinner.

Annie hopes the carriage will arrive at her mansion soon, and she smiles awkwardly. Her feet were numb and she wanted to go back quickly.

Still, today the carriage wheel seemed to run more easily than any other time.

The carriage quickly arrived in front of the mansion.

When the carriage stopped, Annie once again formally apologized.

“Really, I’m sorry. I’ll be very careful so that it doesn’t happen again.”

“It’s fine. I’m fine with anything Annie does.”

“…”

Annie’s expression became hazy as the words were somewhat misleading. Guess she taught him too well, he often said things that made women flutter.

At the same time, she was worried. If this is the case, isn’t he like a deer who might be beaten by a tiger if the Lady has a bad heart?

Annie didn’t want to spare any advice to Ejed. No matter how he could do anything for the woman he loved, he had to keep his standards.

Now Ejed was long established as one of her closest acquaintances.

‘It’s nosy, but… . Still, I am the only one who can say this to His Majesty.’

Annie, who was determined, opened her mouth with difficulty.

“Well, Sir Ejed. I have something to tell you. That… too much consideration can damage a healthy relationship.

Ejed stayed silent for a moment, as if contemplating the advice that might be rude in a way.

Annie didn’t break her opinion as she read him. Rather than getting hurt later, it’s better to give advice in advance.

‘Your Majesty will surely accept it as a pure intention.’

She also had that belief. Annie was trusting Ejed with her whole heart.

Ejed asked cautiously, but in a calm tone.

“Is that wrong?”

“Yes. Only Sir Ejed

loses. No matter how romantic love is to do something for the other person. Still, Sir Ejed must also receive something too.”

It seems that she could be misunderstood as she continued to say gibberish like this. Annie added hastily.

“Then, Sir Ejed will get tired first.”

“I’m not tired.”

The sincerity is evident in Ejed’s voice of Je-de, who denied it with strength. He emphasized that even after several years or even decades, it would not wear out or change.

Annie was a little embarrassed. Of course, there are cases where that would not be the case, but in most cases, that feeling fades over time.

Even love that seems to not dry even after a thousand years goes by, cracks as time passes.

For Annie, who had experienced it firsthand, her feelings were very complicated.

Also, there was no guarantee that the other person wouldn’t, even if Ejed didn’t change his mind. She didn’t want him to get hurt.

He’s like her.

Annie said more firmly than before.

“There is no one-sided relationship. No matter how much you love someone, that someone is not you.”

“…”

Ejed looked like he wanted to deny it, but he did not speak out. He respected her will above all else.

Still, there was a sincerity that flowed from his lips.

“I… I’m really fine. Even if it hurts, it’s the person I choose, I want to be able to handle it all.”

“……”

“If the person I like wants it and I can’t do anything. It’s just a pity I can’t do more.”

There was a faint smile on his face. It was a real joy.

Instead of pushing her opinion once more, Annie just giggled.

“Ah. You’re a helpless romantic(ist).” the raws says romanticist, but i think it was supposed to be romantic in english? 로맨티시스트

Annie, who finished jokingly, opened the carriage door.

Clank.

“I’ll go in right away. So, Sir Ejed can go right away.”

Annie emphasized and got off the carriage and headed for the mansion. She only tried to look ahead.

Again and again. The closer she got to the mansion, the more the smile on her face fell off.

Ejed’s confession-like commitment was common. She had already heard it countless times and knew it.

But why is it so empty? Annie murmured as she curled up her empty hand.

‘Is it autumn?’

The chilly autumn wind blew. Annie shivered for a moment and turned her body slowly.

Then his eyes met a man standing in the distance.

“…why haven’t you left yet? It’s cold too.”

She knew it was something Ejed would never hear of, her mouth moved on its own.

He smiled brightly and waved his hand broadly. He is so delighted that it can be seen from afar.

After staring blankly for a moment, Annie turned her body again.

Her cheeks are hot.

The next day, nothing had changed much. Annie, who attended the Ministry of Foreign Affairs early on, diligently started her own business.

Today, horribly, her colleagues’ mistakes have doubled or tripled the amount of work to be dealt with. As she piled up the paperwork like a mountain, Annie stopped her eyes for a moment.

Besides Ejed, there was something that bothered her. It was one of the maids guarding the mansion.
