Chapter 67

Shuffle…

As Annie was flipping the paper, she saw black pants in her sight.

‘He’s back.’

As she raised her gaze, she saw a polite and handsome face.

However, Annie’s eyes widened.

“Clothes… Did it change a little?”

“Because it’s cold.”

With a short answer, Ejed leaned on the sofa, crossing his legs. Annie was questioned by a different attitude than before.

‘… What kind of change of heart was there…? No, more than that, cold?’

If it was cold, he should button up. But he’s loosening the buttons instead.

She stared at Ejed in amazement, but he noticed her strangeness.

Rather, the other person’s diagonal line of gaze and trembling lips stood out.

‘Even if I have heard of the hand tremors, I’ve never seen anything like that. Have you ever done something bad in the past? Is it stress relief for those symptoms?

Annie, who was struggling, shook her head deeply inside. Now this isn’t important.

She’s gotten used to it as she kept looking at Ejed’s outfit, like a rebel. His outfit, with his straight collar bone exposed in a straight line, was also strangely sensual.

‘Hmm. Even if you’re slow to learn, you are working hard.’

Annie said with an awkward smile.

“You look good.”

“…”

“That outfit, maybe she’ll like it.”

Now, when Ejed’s pale ears turned red, Annie smiled for some reason.

‘Good. For now, of course.’

She expanded her plans in her mind.

In those golden glasses, his eyes filled with seriousness.

Late at night, Ejed, who was left in his office, picked up his feather pen. A feather pen with red ink on its nib moved like a dance on the paper.

Skid-skid-

He began to reflect on what he had learned in the morning.

“A man is… confident.”

“Love is… a hammer.”

“Let’s hear it … what she said again… Hoooo.”

After a long and hard work, Ejed stretched. It was already dark outside the window. But he was not at all tired. Rather, it just makes his mind clear.

Ejed, who had arranged the papers well, stared at the book on the desk.

[How To Be A Sexy Man! 1 (basic)]

As the book consisted of a total of 3 volumes, the contents were very substantial.

‘I should give the author a prize.’

Didn’t he look good to Annie thanks to that book?

Thinking about the day, his cheekbones ascended to heaven.

Ejed’s mouth was filled with a cool smile all the way to the bedroom. Thanks to this, the soldiers guarding in the corridor complained that it was strangely cold.

Upon returning to the bed, Ejed buried his face on his pillow.

And he danced.

‘W-Wow! I’ll see Miss Annie tomorrow too!’

As he hugged his pillow, his chest tickled even more. It’s still hard to believe.

His chest swelled so much because he inhaled in so much, and Ejed was immersed in thoughts.

‘I want to go see you… it will be difficult.’

Much better than before, but Annie looked stiff in the Imperial Palace. It was very different from when she spoke to her maid or other ladies.

In the meantime, if he went to find her in her mansion or in another place to learn, it would be a pain to her.

With his pillow on his cheek, Ejed’s face was shaded.

‘What should I do… To make Miss Annie become a little more comfortable?’

[Your Majesty, how about smiling a little? Or relax your eyes a little…]

Ejed approached the mirror and practiced smiling.

Then he seriously lifted his lips.

“Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning…”

*

By the time she visited the Imperial Palace again, Annie’s mind was a little lighter, just like her simplified suitcase.

At least it was thanks to the belief that the tyrant would not kill her.

Stop-

Before long, Annie’s carriage stopped in front of the Imperial Palace, and Annie tapped her face with her hand.

‘Let’s stay alert today.’

Annie practiced smiling by pulling the tail of her mouth, then opened the door wide. The sunny weather greeted her.

After a while, Annie stops her steps when she arrives in the reception room. It was because Ejed was talking while lying on the sofa, raising one hand.

“Good morning.”

“… Ah yes. Good morning.”

It was absurd. To receive morning greetings from the emperor. Annie awkwardly greeted and sat on the soft sofa.

At that moment, her lips opened slightly.

‘… What?’

Ejed’s uniform had the same design as yesterday, and only the color was changed to blue.

But something else was the problem. There was no tie today, and the button on the top was overly loosened.

Annie was hard to hide her embarrassment because even the muscular, hard chest was dimly visible, and he seemed like a street bully if she did something wrong.

‘… The student’s enthusiasm is too much?’

It looks good objectively. There was no woman who wouldn’t want to see the flesh of such a handsome man revealed in secret. But the problem was that it didn’t suit him too much.

Why would a naive guy look like that? It looked like a kid was putting on her mom’s lipstick.

‘Ah… should I say something?’

He’s the Emperor, could she do that? Even though he now hid his claws for the love counseling now, he may actually be a beast.

When she glanced without knowing, Ejed stopped as if he had sensed something strange.

He asked in a low voice.

“Why.”

“… Well, Your Majesty.”

Annie, who sat down on the sofa slightly face to face, said with a smile.

“It’s a very good morning today. So, good morning of course. Well. By the way, Your Majesty.”

“…”

“I’m sorry… but… why don’t you button it up.”

“…”

Flinch.

Again, Ejed’s shoulders moved greatly. He clearly felt her intention with Annie’s troubled tone.

Instead of answering, Ejed bowed his head and adjusted his clothes.

Annie, who was staring at it, smiled awkwardly. Ejed’s trembling hand didn’t clasped the buttons well.

‘Oh my, did you take drugs? If not, an alcoholic?’

She was thinking about various hypotheses, and Annie bit her lips. The identity of this tyrant could not be measured.

Although he seemed pure and gentle for love, he was acting strangely and she kept thinking differently.

‘… Help or not?’

She was bursting inside.

After this rate, it seemed that the class wouldn’t even progress, so Annie raised her body.

Suk.

Annie approached him.

“Excuse me. A moment.”

“…”

A small hand touched the stiff man’s body. Annie asked as she buttoned it up one by one.

“Your Majesty, have you never had a servant before?”

“… Uh.”

She had to know about Ejed to advise how to approach the woman.

When Ejed affirmed with a faint voice, Annie asked right away.

“Why?”

“…”

“Well, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to answer. All done. Today is an outdoor class, so come outside.”

Annie snapped her hand and went outside.

Slip.

Ejed’s stiff body fell off the sofa.
