Chapter 161

unedited

Annie arrived at the Imperial Palace early in the morning. She was worried that she would run into Ejed after arriving at the Imperial Palace at the usual time.

This was Annie’s best option. He already had a heart for someone else and had come to her for that person’s sake, so she shouldn’t have broken the relationship.

It was miserable, but it couldn’t be helped. Her own greed should not ruin EJed’s happiness. She’s only now looking for her own carefree life.

Annie put her forehead on the desk and smiled bitterly. She wanted to be with him, but she didn’t want to. It was a very ambivalent feeling.

She couldn’t even confess. She didn’t want to lose a good person, she was afraid of getting hurt.

It was cowardly, but she couldn’t help it.

‘I’m really stupid. I don’t even know my heart…. Why are you doing this, Annie Mill Disev.’

She doesn’t think she was originally such a frustrating person, but she couldn’t find the answer. She had no choice but to be patient.

Just then, a muffled sound was heard outside. Annie, who rubbed her red eyes with her hand, got up quickly.

“Senior Demela?”

“Ah, Dsev. Do you go to work this early?”

These days within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs they tend to go to work early. But today was the first time for her.

Demela put on a happy expression saying, ‘As expected, our Annie Mill Dsev is the best.’ Annie had a face that she was very burdened with.

Demela encouraged her by patting Annie on the shoulder, though officials around them clicked their tongues on how serious she was.

Feeling the unfairness, Annie said helplessly.

“I’m sorry that you said that. I only came early today.”

“Even your modesty is perfect. Let everyone watch and learn.”

Annie bit her mouth as Demela yelled bitterly at the officials standing behind her. Even if he talked more for nothing, he would only say embarrassing things.

By the way, why did everyone come so early? Looking at them curiously, one of the officials shrugged their shoulders and said,

There was also a subtle annoyment in their voice.

“Your cohorts quit abruptly. We came to finish the work.”

“What, don’t say that. It’s not because of Lady Dsev.”

“Hmmmm. That’s right.”

“Besides, I was excited to see Princess Ershatina.”

Annie was lost in her thoughts. She noticed that the beautiful princess was visiting for tea.

The officials praised the princess’ beauty and her character in one way or another, even though Demela gave caution.

Then, one of the officials said with a sinister smile.

“Guys, do you know the story? The fact that the princess has been secretly staying in Porcaus after buying a villa.”

“Hey. Why would the princess of a powerful country leave her homeland and do such a thing?”

“What’s wrong with you! Isn’t it because of love?”

“Love?”

Everyone’s attention was focused on the interesting topic. Annie was a little curious too, so she listened to him.

He spoke in a very excited voice.

“So, that’s what they said. The maid who worked at the villa where the princess was staying, told the story…”

The princess said she loved a man of Porcaus, but suffered from the emperor’s opposition for a long time.

She stayed at Porcaus alone to soothe her heart, until permission from the emperor was granted.

“What? Why all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know. Whether the emperor’s heart has changed, or the day of his death is approaching.”

“That sounds funny. Didn’t that emperor not long ago also play an active part in the Continental Hunting Tournament?”

At that time, a man who was listening quietly came up with a hypothesis.

“Wait. Maybe it’s because of our Majesty?”

“Why are you talking about our Majesty here?”

“After Lord Robbie’s declaration, the emperor sent us a handwritten letter of apology. And, he said he wanted to maintain an amicable relationship.”

It certainly wasn’t completely nonsensical. In the meantime, they may have had a passive diplomacy because of the princess.

As Annie heard it, she rolled her eyes. If it was such a beautiful and kind-hearted princess fell in love with Ejed and she may have followed him for many years.

As if to strengthen the hypothesis, the officials around her began to agree by nodding their head. It was so serious, even Demela said to keep quiet.

It didn’t even come to Annie’s ears. She smiled a little in a sense of embarrassment.

‘….Yes. The owner is already there.’

She didn’t covet him in the first place, but there was a set procedure. If Ejed succeeds in his love, she should congratulate him with her bright face.

She also had to tease him for a huge bonus as he had previously signed the contract. Annie was well aware that that was her role.

“Hey, now slowly check the agenda and prepare for the meeting. Chatting is prohibited.”

At Demela’s words, the officials hurriedly took their papers.

Annie, who looked at them, slowly got up. She couldn’t do anything else with her feelings.

As she got her body up, Demela asked with a welcome look.

“Dsev. Can you help too?”

“I’m sorry, senior. I have a place to go for a while.”

“Hey, Dsev. Are you sick? You don’t have a good complexion.”

“I am?”

“Yes. You’re pale.”

Annie, who touched her own cheek with the back of her hand, shrugged her shoulders as if it was okay. She wasn’t sick anywhere. She was just a little uncomfortable.
