Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 163

unedited

Ejed, who was left behind, lowered his head. Why does the small ring box in his hand feel so cold? In the end, the ring could not find a new owner again.

He gripped it. Yes, a quick-witted person like Annie would have known his heart and drew the line.

Otherwise, it was difficult to find justification for her actions now. She really defined him with the word ‘friend’.

Ejed’s troubled face darkened as if buried in the dawn.

‘…..I was too impatient.’

He tried to approach her slowly, but he had to be slower. Wasn’t he the one who had a crush on her for 7 years?

Although he knew he had to endure more time, he was bitter. He put the ring box in his arms and rubbed his parched cheek with the back of his hand.

The cold wind made his skin shiver.

“Haa….”

He let out a heavy sigh and couldn’t get up. Annie’s refusal gave him unavoidable regret.

Crunch.

Then, he heard a noise nearby. When he turned his head, a beautiful blonde appeared in the garden.

Contrary to what Ejed had expected that she would run away or say hello, she took a deep breath. She then put on a subtle expression as if she was about to laugh.

Ejed couldn’t recognize her, but just by looking at the luxurious attire, he could guess that she wasn’t a normal noble.

‘Who is it?…… I think I saw her somewhere.’

He didn’t wear glasses, so she couldn’t see the features properly. After all, Annie is the only woman he cares about, with or without glasses.

He was a little puzzled, but he didn’t pay much attention. Leaving her behind, Ejed headed towards the empty hallway.

“Your Majesty.”

However, he could tell that the voice calling out to him was mixed with earnestness.

A sobbing voice flowed over Ejed’s back, which had stopped.

“Gasp, gasp. Finally…… finally.”

Embarrassed, Ejed turned around and saw a woman covering her face with her hands.

Her shoulders trembled loudly, and the sobs leaked out between her slender fingers.

The tears of the unknown woman were bewildering, but he did not approach and comfort her .

Because of Annie’s teaching.

[If you show kindness to the person you don’t like, the other person will misunderstand you. So, you should only express it to the person you like.]

Annie was nagging enough to hurt his ears these days. In the first place, he wouldn’t do anything that would mislead anyone.

It wasn’t Annie’s that Annie repeatedly warned him, but Ejed meekly compelled. He didn’t want to be kind to any woman other than Annie.

He didn’t want to mix things up in the first place. He was very grateful to Carla for giving him advice, but if he hadn’t had contact with Annie, he would never have said it.

From the past to the present, Annie is the only person Ejed wants to share more than ten words.

He nodded to Annie, who had a complicated expression on her face, as if not to worry.

[Yes.]

[You have to be careful]

[I’ll be careful.]

Even with that answer, Annie’s suspicious gaze was not gone. Ejed felt a little embarrassed, but he didn’t say anything else.

Faith comes from actions, not words. If he showed Annie that way, she wouldn’t worry either.

Ejed looked at the crying woman and thought. It probably wouldn’t, but she might have misunderstood if he approaches.

‘I’ll have to go and speak to Doher.’

A good aide who tried to help with political affairs earlier than anyone else. He thought he would leave the place if she wasn’t very uncomfortable.

The woman lowered her hand as if she had noticed Ejed’s signs. The rosy eyes twinkled beautifully.

It was a sight that anyone would admire, but Ejed made only an objective judgment. Fortunately, she didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere.

Raising his gaze slightly, he looked at the now familiar corridors of the Imperial Palace. He would have to go and summon Doher as planned, or talk to the chief attendant if he ran into him.

Ejed was about to move his body, the woman stretched out one of her arms and shouted desperately.

“Your, Your Majesty! Wait! Don’t, don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Your Majesty.”

“…..”

He doesn’t know. He doesn’t think he has met her, let alone knew her name. As Ejed looked at her indifferently, the woman paused, as if in shock.

This situation itself was cumbersome. Even thinking about Annie burns his heart out, and he doesn’t want to waste his time in vain.

Fortunately, he could see the chief attendant passing behind the woman.

“Chief Attendant.”

For the first time, Ejed’s lips were opened. Then the woman covered her mouth with both her hands, as if thrilled.

The chief attendant stepped forward and bowed his head in front of him.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Help her with directions.”

Other than that, there was no need to say anything else. Ejed left the place more bitterly than Annie had left him.

As Ejed disappeared, the chief attendant, who had glanced at the unfamiliar woman, opened his eyes. She was a great beauty who would shine brightly even at dawn.

Her luscious blonde hair flowed down like a wave, and her red eyes were brighter than ruby. The rosy cheeks and moist lips were truly artistic.

If Ejed was born as a woman, he wondered if he would become such a beautiful woman.

Meanwhile, the woman muttered, staring at the place where Ejed had disappeared.

“My God, you have become more dignified ……”
