Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 164
unedited
Thump, thump.
Annie sighed, resting her forehead on the desk. As an excuse for not wanting to get hurt, she did something very childish.
She’s not even a kid yet she walks away that way. Clearly, Ejed must have been perplexed.
She could hardly lift her face.
‘Why are you acting so hateful…… ? Sigh.’
Annie slowly raised her head. Wharton, who was walking with the papers in his arms, found her and burst into laughter.
He said to her with the shape of his mouth, ‘Forehead, forehead,’ and went on his way. Annie sighed and looked into the mirror.
On her forehead was a red mark in the form of wood. Either way, it was unsightly.
‘I want to leave work early…… I want to rest tomorrow…….’
She had never wanted a day off so fiercely. Annie seriously considered a day off tomorrow. Anyway, it’s better to keep her distance from Ejed.
However, an unexpected twist occurred. Demela stood in the center, saying that she would accept applicants.
Clap, clap, clap.
“Come, everyone, pay attention. From now on, I will accept applicants for Kessen. The schedule is from tomorrow..…… ”
Everyone avoided Demela’s gaze, as if they had promised, or looked at their parchment, pretending to be busy.
It was a cold country and the distance was far, so no one wanted to go to Kessen. But it was a golden opportunity for Annie.
‘Even if it’s a little awkward with Rai…… Better than Ejed. Okay, let’s go to Kessen.’
Annie raised one of her hands and said.
“Sir Demela, I will apply!”
The faces of the seniors around were filled with relief. They all stared at her in unison with a face that said ‘Thank you, Dsev!’
But Annie was rather grateful to them. If she had lost her chance, she would have had to endure a really embarrassing situation.
‘And, it’s the first time I’ve been to Kessen. It will be a study for me.’
Annie calmed her rumbling inside with positive thoughts. It would also be a great help to the locals.
Demela also stared at Annie with a happy smile as usual. She was relieved that Demela, who always respects her opinions, was the same today.
‘Okay, let’s go to Kessen. Even if it’s a little cold… ’
At that time, a word like lightning blood was heard.
“I appreciate that passion, but you can’t.”
“Huh? Why?”
When Wharton replied to ask a question, Demela shrugged his shoulders and said,
“The princess directly pointed out Dsev.”
‘Princess?’
*
The blonde princess who sat in the guest room for the VIP was overflowing with dignity. Annie admired the princess unknowingly.
She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. Moreover, her expression is so pure and bright that it seemed to smell like spring.
Ershatina, who quietly set the teacup down, smiled softly and opened her lips.
“May Goddess’s grace be with you, I’m Ershatina.”
The princess was really in Porcaus, as rumored, and she used etiquette very skillfully.
Annie felt the admiration and complexity at the appearance. But she never showed it off.
“May Goddess’s grace be with you, I’m Annie Mill Disev.”
“Annie, I really wanted to see you. Thank you for coming.”
The princess smiled as if even the glacier would melt with it, and she treated her kindly.
She had previously wondered if the princess and her have had close acquaintances before.
‘Well, what does that matter…….?
Annie sighed inside. The kind but tactless princess asked her to call her by the nickname ‘Ersha’, and acted cute.
It was no wonder that she is loved by everyone. But Annie couldn’t have been more uncomfortable with it. Because she is the woman Ejed has been in love with.
Annie, initially terrified by Ershatina’s request for her, expressed her intention to Demela to refuse. But he asked Annie for a favor really politely.
[Since the future of both countries is at stake, will you please listen to her request? Even just one day is fine. ]
She wanted to say no, but she was also a little curious. What kind of person does everyone love and admire?
The bottom line was that she was a decent person. She was full of sincerity in the stories she said, and her expression was tender.
‘…… What a cute person.’
She was a little different from Annie herself who was dyed with the world. She couldn’t even remember the last time she had such a bright smile.
Annie answered the words with sincerity and fiddled with the teacup. Here, too, was full with memories of Ejed.
Annie smiled faintly without realizing it.
‘Then……… He was very awkward and anxious.
She didn’t even have to talk to Ejed in the parlor like this anymore. There was a place like a promise between the two of them.
That fact was sad that Annie rolled her eyes. She hoped the time goes by quickly today. Especially in this difficult time.
“Excuse me, Annie.”
When she raised her gaze, the princess looked at her like a flower in full bloom. She was raised with a lot of love, and she was a confident figure of a person who was sure that she would be loved.
For some reason, the tip of her chest was a little tight, and when the princess looked at her calmly, she tilted her upper body slightly forward.
As the seriousness flashed on the princess’ face as she got closer to her, Annie felt strange feelings.
‘You’re the kind of person who can make that kind of expression too.’
She thought the princess was just a girl, but it seems she wasn’t.
Princess Ershatina asked in a warm voice.
“What does Annie think of His Majesty?”
