Chapter 26

This time, Fiz asked, and he accurately read Ejed’s heart.

“Shall I kill him?”

Doher’s hand closed Fiz’s mouth before he asked ‘what’ but it didn’t even reach his ears.

Ejed clenched his teeth without knowing.

Grit.

The two aides, confused by the sound, stopped working. They stared at Ejed while holding each other’s legs.

At this point, they were worried about whether or not he was pulling a sword like his reputation of destroying the enemy knights.

Fortunately, Ejed did not use force, as they were concerned. He said in a subdued voice.

“Violation of the building limit line and the violation of the carriage law, illegal reduction of landscaping, illegal buildings without warrants.”

No, Our Majesty has spoken so quickly! The two aides were very flustered and rolled their eyes.

Ejed stared at them.

“Girkans, do a thorough investigation.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I’m going to rob his coffers dry!”

Since he had already prepared half of the things necessary to punish the Girkans, it was clear that by tomorrow he would be able to get rid of the Girkans.

Of course, there are exchanges between the Dsevs and the Girkans, but haven’t they taken action in advance so that they can receive help from other families?

Despite the smooth situation and the reliable answer, their eyes trembled.

As time went on, Lord Girkan’s facial expressions became brighter, while Annie’s, on the contrary, darkened.

‘You dare to disturb Annie’s enjoyable time…’

His mouth began to dry out.

Yes, wouldn’t it be weird for such awful men to get tangled with such a pretty lady?

Ejed quickly jumped up to his feet.

***

“Haha. You don’t have to be so shy.”

‘What? Why is this person so shameless?’

Annie felt embarrassment and anger simultaneously. She wants to slap this insolent man across the face for daring to treat her as if nothing had happened after all the uproar.

But, of course, it was impossible.

‘Huh… There are too many eyes around…’

The perfectly pleasant weather that was just right for an outing quickly soured because of this piece of trash.

As Annie’s cheeks reddened with anger, Carla took out a fan and handed it over to her.

At that moment, Annie’s purple eyes sparkled. Annie, with her arms outstretched as if to take the fan, gently swung her hands.

Tuk.

The fan fell next to Lord Girkan, as Annie intended.

When Carla reflexively approached her in concern, Annie halted her with an arm.

“I’ll do it, Carla.”

Annie, who spoke those kind words in a strange lilt, stepped past Carla. Feeling that something was awry, Carla stayed silent and swallowed dryly.

Subsequently, Annie stamped her feet loudly.

“Oh my goodness!” Annie exclaimed, approaching Girkan.

Then, Girkan opened his mouth; his eyes fixed on Annie’s smooth, exposed shoulder line the entire time.

Shortly after, a dying scream rang out.

“Ouch!”

“Oh my goodness! Are you alright?”

Annie, who was in Girkan’s arms, ground her heels onto his foot.

All the while, Girkan struggled and tried to separate her from his aching foot.

‘Where are you going?’

A chilly smile spread across Annie’s lips as she tightened her grip on Girkan’s shoulder.

Press.

She, of course, did not forget to trample his foot one more time.

Kuwook.

“Oh, ah ah!”

“Oh my goodness! Are you alright?”

Lord Girkan’s face turned red in response to the innocent question.

Looking at Annie’s devious eyes, she definitely did it on purpose. He pointed shakily at her.

“This, this… You stupid woman!”

“Whoa, I’m so sorry to have stepped on your feet, but I don’t see what I did wrong? I was simply trying to retrieve my fan to cool myself since I’ve been rather flustered having to repeat the same thing over and over again.”

As Annie breathed a sigh as if she was really troubled, laughter was heard around them.

That was because Lord Girkan was also seen by other people when he grumbled at Annie.

Lord Girkan, who snorted to mask his bruised pride, was outraged.

“That’s why you can’t get married even when you’re this old!”

“So that’s why you’re grumbling at a poor old maid? I just stepped on your foot.”

As Annie looked at him with pitying eyes, he turned around with a huff.

Annie gracefully said farewell to the cowardly back.

“It was my misfortune to meet you, but please don’t pretend to know me again.”
