Chapter 125

Ejed, who had been waiting for a long time at the promised place, looked around. Suddenly, his surroundings have already turned black.

‘Is Annie very busy today…?’

She was worried for Annie, who was late for the appointment. Maybe something happened

He was very worried about her because she was never late for appointments at the imperial palace.

‘What if…..’

Ejed had a perplexed look.

Even if he visited the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was in an ambiguous situation because he feared that she and him might get mixed up.

Drip. Drip.

To make matters worse, it even rained. The well-ironed clothes quickly got wet in the sudden shower.

After hesitating, Ejed finally entered the Imperial Palace. He planned to wait for Annie in the nearby hallway.

But then, he could see foreign ministry officials coming out one after another from afar.

With flushed faces, their voices were louder than usual.

“How long has it been since we had a dinner party? Let’s eat in moderation and leave.”

“What am I missing? I should go and eat a lot. It’s a place that Demela found over and over again after his troubles.”

“Ah, we’re best friends. To be honest, today’s dinner isn’t the welcome ceremony for that, Dsev Lady.”

‘Dinner…..’

Ejed’s lips parted slightly.

Judging from their conversation, Annie seemed to be attending a dinner party today.

‘Have she already gone out with her colleagues?’

He didn’t even know that maybe she had already forgotten her promise to him. When he thought so, his heart ached a little.

Ejed shook his head broadly.

‘Nope. I can have dinner with Miss Annienext time… ‘

Although it was unfortunate, he tried to understand.

It must be difficult for Annie, who is just adjusting to her job, to take care of everything.

He’d rather her make mistakes or forget things because he’s ready to understand anything about Annie.

‘If you see that Annie hasn’t sent any messages yet, she’s completely forgotten. For today…… Let’s go back.’

Eventually, most of the imperial officials disappeared. Unable to find Annie among them, Ejed turned around.

At that moment, an angry voice was heard nearby.

“Lord Lemnas, let’s set a good example for that fearless woman today.

“That’s right. How dare the Lady run wild without knowing her place.”

Ejed stopped walking and moved toward the sound. In the distance stood two men who seemed to be Annie’s colleagues.

“Suddenly, what a rain. There is no more bad luck.”

“Sheesh, is it because of her? What do you mean she’s the luckiest girl in Porkaus. She’s just a bad luck girl.”

They insulted Annie with a frown on their face and a cigarette in their mouth.

“She’s so terrifying that she’s never been able to get married.”

“Let’s just soak her in alcohol. So she can’t even go to work tomorrow.”

Being obsessed with their inferiority complex, Annie’s colleagues complained about their dissatisfaction. Two strong men trying to bully a weak woman. He can’t just be watching.

Ejed clenched his fists, and he was about to approach them. However, Annie’s sudden appearance caught his ankle.

She is always the proud and wonderful Annie.

‘… If I do this, Annie will be in trouble.’

That said, he couldn’t go back. He couldn’t hear it in detail, but they seemed to be plotting some sort of plot.

Drip, drip, drip

As the rain began to thicken, the two colleagues got annoyed and left the back garden of the Imperial Palace.

Left alone, Ejed’s clothes were completely stained. His cold skin was also getting whiter.

Even in the rain, he stood still and showed no sign of moving.

‘…I can’t just sit still like this.’

No matter how great Annie is, what will happen if the two men trouble her.

‘I have to protect her.’

Ejed hastily followed the direction in which the two Lords disappeared. And they arrived at a high-end restaurant.

‘Is she here?’

Fortunately, there was a large tree nearby. Ejed moved out of sight.

Ejed, who took a light leap and perched on a thick branch, looked down.

A smile quickly spreads across his lips

‘It’s Miss Annie.’

He didn’t even wear glasses, but Annie looked really good. As the large leaves blocked the rain, he felt more at ease.

He pulled his wet hair back and looked down, wiping his forehead with his sleeve.

However, strength entered his eyebrows. Annie sits at the same table with the two colleagues.

The three of them started talking.

‘What are they talking about?’

Even with all his attention, he couldn’t hear their conversation.

However, Ejed clearly felt that Annie was uncomfortable for some reason.

‘Miss Annie…..’

He couldn’t do anything to the woman she loves; he’s so stupid and incompetent.

Ejed, who suppressed the urge to run and help at any moment, gave strength to his eyes.

If the two Lords, like Robbie, have strange drugs or pose a danger, he will protect her at all costs.

Ejed’s eyes widened as he watched closely with his arms crossed.

‘…..Hmm?’

He doesn’t know what they said, but when Annie laughed, the two men started drinking like crazy.
