Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 156

unedited

‘Still, he didn’t look like a person to hit a woman. Maybe say a few words, get angry… .’

“Your eyes are good too.”

“……”

“Yeah, that’s true. Our Ejed is a kind and cute kid regardless of the oracle.”

At the expression ‘cute’, Annie almost nodded her head without realizing it.

It was. Ejed was cute when he was young, but even now as an adult, he was cuter than most children. She wanted to give him something to eat, even if he wasn’t small.

It wasn’t just that. He even smiles at a dog smaller than himself.

It’s cute, and the way he’s restless about how he might harm anyone is also cute.

One of the charms was the fact that his ears turned red if their hands accidentally rubbed.

“Yes, our Majesty is the cutest.”

As Annie silently affirmed, Robbie continued to speak brazenly.

“I raised Ejed since he was a child, I changed his diapers.”

Oddly enough, she keeps listening to the nonsense.

“When Ejed came running to me calling my name, I had nothing to envy.”

Annie thought that she was envious for some reason. She liked Ejed now, but she wondered what his innocent look would have been like.

He must not have been a person who had been armed with ice like this from a very young age. Annie continued to keep her ears open.

“And it’s not just that. Ejed sees me as a parent or older brother. I’m his only family.”

“Do you do that to your family? Do you go to the friends of your family, and threaten them like that, saying that bad things will happen if they play with your children using the oracle as an excuse?”

Angry Annie asked.

Robbie’s words are absurd. If he had been such a precious family member, it would never have been possible.

Ejed was lonely and suffering because of the oracle. Who would understand the feeling of not being able to approach the woman he loved properly?

If he hadn’t asked for help, Annie wouldn’t even have known.

It hurt her heart so much to imagine such a thing.

“Because it’s my family, I had no choice but to do that. But… it was my mistake.”

Robbie’s lips trembled as he smiled self-consciously. His voice carried by the autumn wind was so empty.

Annie thought that Robbie was somehow regretting it. Otherwise, he couldn’t put on such a sad expression.

He was brazen before, but he was proud and arrogant. But now he can’t even raise his head.

Averting her gaze, he rubbed his chin and murmured.

“Today, I’m going to announce that the oracle is wrong. If not immediately, the bad rumors about Ejed will be rectified. The things I said I did for him were wrong. It was all my fault.”

“That….”

“Yes. It’s an oracle I made up. Tyrant or whatever, it’s all bullshit.”

She wanted to ask how he could say that ruining a person’s life like a joke.

But Robbie’s eyes were moist.

Did he have any regrets? Annie can’t fully comprehend his feelings, but she somehow felt that way.

Robbie turned his back and muttered in a hoarse voice.

“I’ll take care of the mistakes I’ve made and finish them well.”

“…..”

“Now do whatever you want.”

It was then.

“Annie!”

Someone rushed to her and grabbed Annie’s shoulders and held her in his arms. Annie, who was suddenly trapped in the arms, widened her eyes.

The royal blue robe, the silver shield embroidered on the chest, and even the familiar scent.

Annie recognized him at once.

“… Sir Ejed?”

“Robby, what are you doing now! I told you to Annie….”

Thump. She could hear Ejed’s anxious heartbeat. She did not understand what he was talking about.

Just the fact that she was so stable and cozy held in Ejed’s arms dominated her mind.

It was as if a new sense had awakened. It was a different feeling that she had never known in her life. Her chest tingled.

Meanwhile, Robbie exclaimed as if unfairly.

“What did I do! Ask her. I was just going to apologize and leave.”

“Never approach Annie again.”

“Damn. That’s why it’s useless to raise you like this.”

Annie, who had come to her senses in a flash, pushed Ejed’s shoulder. Now was not the time to be like this in front of Robbie.

She blushed and opened her mouth like an excuse.

“I’m fine. As Lord Robbie said, I just got an apology. And…”

Even though Ejed had an anxious expression on his face, he didn’t cut Annie’s words. He listened quietly until the end of her story.

Annie had a strange feeling in the wind. Ejed was a man who watched and waited, as always.

Her throat was somehow choked at the thought that this man would have been having a hard time on his own.

‘In the end…. The oracle was fake. As expected, what I think was right.’

And when she thinks of the person who may have caused that time, her blood wells up.

Annie had to release her anger before she found the form of the emotions she felt. Turning her body, she glanced at Robbie.

Flinching at the intense gaze, Robbie swallowed a gulp. Somehow, it just wasn’t an atmosphere to let it go.

“His Majesty just came directly.”

She smiled and gave a sharp command to him.

“Please make a formal apology to His Majesty, Lord Robbie.”
