Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 140

unedited

However, Rai did not avoid Ejed’s gaze. He didn’t even look apologetic like he had before.

“I plan to formally apply for a relationship with Lady Dsev soon. And, I am thinking of starting a family and, if she so desires, I will move to Porcaus.”

Ejed’s lips parted slowly.

What nonsense is this?

He clenched his fists. Yes, he wasn’t expecting it at all.

Anyone with Annie will fall in love with that charm, so the envoys from other countries were no exception.

But it’s never pleasant.

No matter how well off the young man he may be, isn’t he his enemy?

Without hesitation, Ejed’s lips opened.

***

‘How refreshing.’

Annie, who was signing her autograph with a feather pen, turned her flabby hand. The effect of Kessen’s magic was the best as she had heard.

Although she was a little disturbed by the sudden flower attack, she was able to finish the job with ease thanks to Rai.

Annie, who had stretched out, began to busily tidy her desk. It was just before the appointment time, so she had to go.

Tap, tap.

Even though she wore high-heeled shoes, her feet moved very well. Her steps towards Ejed were very light.

Without realizing it, she hummed and walked like running. Then she saw a familiar back of the head in the distance.

There was always no one in the garden as it was the secret place for the two of them. Annie, whose playfulness was activated, slowed down her steps and raised her hands.

She crept closer and thought to surprise him. Now she was able to play these pranks without hesitation.

Crunch.

When she stepped on a small branch, Annie hardened. But fortunately, Ejed didn’t move, perhaps because he was thinking of something else.

He had a very wide back. Annie walked over again, cautiously, and she placed her hand on his back.

“It’s, it’s Annie. I was surprised.”

“…..”

Annie’s excitement was ruined by the hard reaction like a clockwork doll.

Where in the world can anyone tell a lie like this?

Ejed smiled brightly as he looked down at Annie, who clenched her lips. Her face was a little reminiscent too.

Yes, well, shouldn’t they just have fun with each other? Annie, who quickly made up her mind, looked at him and asked.

“You didn’t wait for a long time, did you?”

“Yes. I just came.”

This is also a lie. The smiling Ejed was the object of Annie’s distrust.

As Annie listened to the words, she fell into thoughts.

‘Wait. Where are you going to take me today? It shouldn’t be a place that serves strawberries or spicy dishes like before.’

“Annie. I’m fine, so let’s eat Annie’s favorite dishes.”

“Huh? How did you know?”

She hasn’t even revealed her heart yet, but he reads her worries.

When Annie looked at him curiously, Ejed replied as if it was natural.

“It’s the time to get hungry. Annie always has a hard time if you don’t eat on time…”

Carla had always told her about her low-sugar levels, but she hadn’t told him about it.

Or it could be that he’s been paying close attention because of what he’d cooked her last time. He is always a caring person.

Annie smiled embarrassedly, and she replied happily. Then he stretched out his arm towards her.

“Let’s go.”

Unlike the long, white fingers, his stiff palms. A small hand rested on it.

Annie looked up at Ejed, who skillfully escorted her. It could be frustrating for him, but he’s been slowing down for her all the time.

‘To that lady…. Would you have  acted like this?’

She had a strange imagination. Maybe he will treat her with the utmost sincerity than he does for her.

Annie became a little curious. What does Ejed look like when he’s not with her and how would he spend time with that Lady?

‘Of course, he’ll be fine, but….’

Before she was even aware of it, her thoughts kept trailing. She wasn’t very imaginative, but it kept coming to mind.

For example, Ejed who dances skillfully with the Lady, or Ejedwho cooks food for her, and…..

“Annie. What are you thinking about?”

“…..”

“Annie?”

“Ah yes.”

‘Oh my gosh. How did we come to the restaurant again?’

Where had she placed her mind, when she came to her senses it was a restaurant. As Annie responded quickly, Ejed, who was facing her, had a worried expression on his face.

“Are you very tired? You look tired from a while ago.”

“Oh, no. No. Not at all.”

She remembered in a vague voice what Ejed had ordered a while ago.

She continued to imagine even though the person was right in front of her. Annie, waving her hand, quickly drank a glass of water.

Gulp. Gulp. Seeing that, Ejed advised her to drink slowly. There was kindness in his voice.

Annie somehow had a fever on her face. The person involved would not even think about it, but she was ashamed of herself for continuing this delusion.

Hmmhmm. Annie coughed and looked around. A landscape that seemed gloomy just a moment ago caught her eye.

Cutely decorated rabbit dolls and small props, this restaurant was also a popular destination for aristocrats.

As evidence of that, there were already a few tables left. Annie, who rolled her eyes for this and that, said ‘Heuk’.

She was surprised.

They have been recognized that those around them are staring intently at them.

‘That’s right…..Your Majesty didn’t even wear a mask or hat today!’
