Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 155

unedited

It was an old-fashioned method that could be used anywhere in the old days. Annie sighed inside.

It hasn’t been long since the strange cohorts went out, and she was associated with such a bizarre person?

No matter how much she tried to understand it, Robbie couldn’t give her such a gift with good intentions. Annie was sure he was up to something.

‘Are you trying to use this as an excuse to take advantage of me? Otherwise, you’re trying to stop you from going to His Majesty.’

After organizing her thoughts, Annie calmly expressed her intention to decline.

“Thank you, Robbie. But it’s too much for me. I’ll just accept your heart.”

“No, what is too much? I said I picked it up. You want me to go back and throw it away?”

“Yes. Do whatever you want.”

Robbie’s face turned red in an instant at her stern answer. He grumbled why she was so stubborn, then sighed.

Seeing that, Annie was a little puzzled. She thought he would get angry, or express his anger like before.

Rather, he withdrew his hand as he regretted it. The expensive ring box was tucked into the hem of his robe.

Even so, Robbie added several times, asking if she would ever change her mind, to let him know.

‘…Are you really bringing this as a gift?’

Robbie didn’t move in front of Annie, not knowing what to say. She felt an ominous moment.

Like Rai before, she feared that he might have had any affection for her.

‘Or because you have an attachment to me, you…… detest me?”

The man called the messenger of the gods is an unpredictable person, so she speculated that it could be the case.

Annie’s expression hardened subtly.

It was tiring just to think about it, but it seemed that she would never have been able to work as a diplomat in the Imperial Palace if she did.

“I have something to say.”

‘…I just wish you didn’t.’

Looking intently into her, Robbie flapped his lips and stared at Annie. She wanted to avoid this atmosphere in which the tension was evident.

She usually doesn’t have a confession in situations like this. She focused all her attention on imagining the refusal she would take out immediately after.

‘Let’s be as polite as possible. Not to make him feel bad, be polite… ..’

“Sorry.”

“…..”

“I’m sorry.”

Annie almost asked what he was talking about without realizing it. Had it not been for Robbie’s face full of sincerity, she would have really said so.

His eyebrows frowned like someone telling a difficult story. The gesture was awkward.

As if it was the first time he apologized.

“I had a bit of a misunderstanding. Hmmm. I, I had a bad prejudice, but I think I misunderstood. So…I came here to apologize. Don’t misunderstand me. No, don’t make that face. It’s true.”

“…so did you buy that too?”

“What did I buy? This is, just. I picked it up.”

“…..”

Who believes that? Who is crazy and loses such a thing like that and just sits still?

As Annie opened her snake eyes to look at him, Robbie said sarcastically.

“Hmmhmm. Anyway, I’m sorry.”

Robbie, who coughed when he looked fine, continued to cough. Annie was furious with his face stained with embarrassment.

The person who he should apologize was Ejed isn’t it? It was distasteful that this person who was always trying to get him into trouble apologized.

‘Treat His Majesty well!’

Annie didn’t want her to accept his apology easily. She did not want to be friends with the person who treated Ejed badly even when the sky fell.

Robbie flinched when she shot with a grudge. He cried out as if a thief was numb at his feet.

(*idiom for when you do something bad and you feel insecure about it)

“Why, why! Why are you looking at me like that!”

“I don’t think I’m the one to apologize for, Robbie.”

Why does she seem to be saying this often these days? Annie clenched her fists at the bizarre dejavu.

Why do people interpret what they want and only apologize to those who they want? If they make a mistake, they should apologize to that person.

It was the same with Ejed. So, apart from his true feelings, he lost his voice.

“Lord Robbie. To His Majesty, Lord Robbie is an impeccably good man.”

“……”

For some reason, Robbie was quiet despite the unpleasant talk. Rather, he stared at Annie like a startled person.

Annie continued to speak without being conscious of his reaction. After joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she has no doubt realized the story of how wonderful and outstanding monarch Ejed has come to be.

Robbie, who had been listening quietly until the end of the rather long story, asked.

“Are you sure you’ll join Ejed’s side in front of me?”

“Yes. His Majesty is a good person regardless of the oracle. He is a wonderful and dignified monarch not only for me, but also for many bureaucrats and people.”

Robbie smirked at the bold statement and covered his face with his hand. Between his fingers, there was a continuous laugh.

Annie, anticipating the scolding that would follow it, swallowed a gulp. She spoke back to the messenger of the gods, so he wouldn’t let it go.
