Come Here, Tyrant!

You’re coming together at this late hour! It seems like you’ve been here all along!”

“…..”

The culprit was Carla.
As Annie stared blankly in embarrassment, Ejed paused as if surprised.

Only Carla was excited in the chilly atmosphere.

She said with a smirk.

“You’ve come all the way here, so wouldn’t it make sense to serve you a cup of tea?”

“Carla! It’s late, what do you mean?”

“What late.
The sun has just set.”

‘Why is she like this today?’

This has gone too far.
Annie was almost blown away by Carla’s reckless suggestion.

It’s complicated because of the emotions she felt a while ago, so why was it getting more and more a mess?

Annie asked, staring at the empty front door.

“Rather than that, the guards…”

“Oh, they’ll come here after having a late night meal.
Now they’re here.
Over here, over here!”

As Carla said, the guards were coming.
Their mouths were full of something as they ran, and they smelled of food.

‘I’ll go crazy.’

There is no need to dwell in this fuss.
Annie looked at Ejed instead of arguing further.

“Your Majesty must go now.”

“….”

He looked like he was thinking about something for a moment.

“Your Majesty?”

“If it’s not rude…”

After a while, words beyond imagination came out of Ejed’s mouth.

“Can I have a cup of tea and go?”

Annie was in shock.

‘…His Majesty can’t be like this?’

***

Ejed, who had told Rai the truth, was rather relieved.
It was the first time he had expressed his feelings for Annie so directly to someone.

Doher himself noticed first, and so did Robbie.
Fizz is still unknown, but strictly speaking, it was the first.

The sudden encounter nurtured the seeds of anxiety in Ejed.
But nothing changed.
His sincere love for Annie, and his determination to approach her.

If he had to pick one change, it was the pace of his steps.
Ejed was flustered by Carla’s unexpected help, but he tried to seize the opportunity.

It was enough for him to sit still like an idiot and send Annie to someone else.
Above all, he wanted to make Annie happy with his own hands.

Annie was the woman who deserved it.

“Hmmhmm.”

David, who coughed for no reason, lowered his head.
He had been saying thank you for coming to a shabby place a while ago, but he became much quieter.

The only thing that resonated in this waiting room was the sound of the two of them breathing.

Annie went to change her dress, and Carla accompanied her.

In the end, David, except for Count Dsev and his wife, who was absent, welcomed Ejed.

David was watching Ejed, but he tried not to make eye contact with him.

His face was full of suspicion.

‘Yes…..I remember when I was a child.’

Ejed clenched his fists in his hands that rested on his knees.

‘You have to be friends with David too.’
