Chapter 130

Annie’s job today was to welcome the Kessen envoys.

She thought as she walked down the corridors of the imperial palace carrying her little leather bag.

She had seen illustrations of the Kessen envoys during her Academy days. Kessen, a powerful country in a cold region, always had men with jackets on them.

They usually carried white tigers or animal skins on their shoulders. Then the professor said ‘If you do something wrong to the people of the Kessen Empire, no one will even take care of your bones*.’

In fact, the Kessen Empires had strong personalities and many unique people.

‘Well… I can do it.”

Annie took a deep breath and walked down the hallway. Just past this corner, she will find the reception room where the Kessen Empire envoys are staying.

But then, a commotion was heard from somewhere.

“Kyaaak!”

“What, what is that! It’s a monster! There’s a monster in the Imperial Palace!”

‘Monster?’

Annie hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound. For any reason, the Kessen Empire envoys should not be disturbed.

Moreover, today was the first day they came to the Imperial Palace. They haven’t even finished diplomatic matters, so they can’t cause problems.

Annie’s eyes widened as she arrived at the end of the hallway on the other side.

When she got out, Sev was stirring the palace.

“What’s wrong…?”

There was no such spectacle as this. The servants and maids who saw the monster for the first time ran away in surprise, and the guards also swung their swords and spears in the air.

Because of those who attacked him, Sev was also surprised and spewed out magic.

“Wait! Stop!”

Shouting, Annie interrupted the scene, but the situation showed no signs of improving. Most of the people around ran away.

Meanwhile, the members of the Imperial Knights came running. When she saw that they came with puzzled faces, most of them looked like newbies.

Annie hurriedly exclaimed.

“I’ll catch it. Help me!”

However, the knights with shields hesitated and could not approach.

Annie, who spit abusive language at them, slowly walked towards Seb and stretched her arms out.

Sec’s eyes, floating in the air, rose more red than usual.

“Good boy, good boy..”

Although she tried to hold back, a tense voice escaped from her mouth.

“Good, come here.”

She wished she could hold it in her hand, but she didn’t know how to reach it. She looked around to see if she could ask for help, but everyone was just staring blankly from behind.

Even when she went out on her own, they kept looking from afar. Annie was so pissed off that Annie spoke in a foreign language she remembered.

“The knights are pathetic. Is there anyone among you who is smaller than me? Why are you just staring at me stupidly?”

Then, a pleasant laugh was heard from somewhere. As she turned her head, she saw the first white-haired young man she had ever seen grabbing his stomach and shaking his shoulders.

The unusual style of clothing he wore did not belong to Porcaus. He was a messenger from Kesen, who spoke the language she just spoke.

Annie’s face became teary.

‘I’m doomed.. ..’

Even though she tried to look good, she was caught swearing at the people of her own country. There was no such disgrace.

With tears in her eyes, he spoke cheerfully to the desperate Annie.

“You’re interesting.”

“…..”

“I’m stronger than you, and I’m a knight, so I’ll help you.”

As he waved his hand in the air, a white greatsword appeared.

Maybe he’s trying to attack Sev? Annie exclaimed desperately.

“It’s not the kind to attack people! You can’t hurt it!”

“I don’t intend to do that, so don’t worry. Heave-ho!”

The great sword was enveloped in tremendous brilliance when the young man gave strength.

And at that moment, Sev was sucked into the sword like a magnet and stuck to it.

What is this? As Annie stared blankly, the young man from Kessen smiled and stretched out his arms.

His clunky, thick hands gripped Sev lightly. He held Sev in his arms as if it was a doll.

Sev blinked its eyes, pretending to be innocent, and looked into Annie’s eyes. As she stared at it, it quickly lowered its head.

“Sorry for the fuss. Thank you for your help.”

“No words. By the way, do you know the owner?”

“Ah… yes. I know.”

“Is it from the Imperial Palace? It would be difficult to raise them here, but it can create an illusion and run away when this guy is a little bigger. I know it well because it’s a monster we only raise in Kesen.”

‘Is that why His Majesty lost it…..’

If it weren’t for that, Ejed couldn’t let this happen, who was clinging to Sev even when he was in Jade’s form.

The young man smiled and said.

“Well, you can tame it well. If you carry a sword made of Kesen Kartamic, you can summon it quickly.”

“Ah, yes. At Porcaus, we were going to discuss the import of Kartamic as well.”

“Ah. Are you in the diplomatic field?”

Fortunately, the young man showed a favorable attitude. Annie, relieved inside her, nodded her head widely.

“Yes.”

“Then can I speak in my native language? The Porcaus language is a bit inconvenient.”

“Of course.”

The young man grinned as if he liked it and asked for Annie’s hand.

He started speaking in Kessen.

“I am Rai Fen Irsk of Kessen.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Annie Mill Dsev of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Porcaus.”

“…Yes? What?”

Annie was surprised at Rai’s questioning. Perhaps, her pronunciation in the Kessen language was not good.

Clearing her throat, Annie smiled at him and said.

“I am Annie Mill Dsev from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Porcaus.”
