Chapter 70

Annie deliberately asked in a bright voice to change the mood.

“By the way, Your Majesty.”

“…”

“Is she pretty?”

She asked like a joke, Ejed nodded seriously.

Three times.

‘Wow… he really likes her.’

She had never seen such a reaction before. Annie asked in a mischievous way again.

“Where do you like her so much?”

“Pretty, kind, caring, intelligent, graceful, proud, wise, capable, classy,

intelligent…”

Ejed never stuttered his words and continued to praise her.

‘He talked so well.’

She was really curious about what kind of woman he was longing for. Annie pledged. If this works out, she’ll watch her from afar.

However, Ejed’s praise for her did not end easily.

“Strong to the strong, weak to the weak…”

As the theater building neared, Annie raised her hands and held him back.

“That’s all you have to say. If your Majesty is in love, she must be a really wonderful person.”

“…”

“After learning from me, you should actively court her out.”

Now Ejed turned his head aside. His covered cheeks were colored brightly.

*

“Here it is. Now, have a seat.”

The two sat side by side in the auditorium. It was the best middle seat to see.

Ejed habitually pressed the hat and looked around. Fortunately, there were few people in the theater because it was a quiet time.

At that time, Annie pulled his hem.

“I think it’s about to start. I am looking forward to it.”

As the stage got dark, a smile caught Annie’s mouth, staring in front. Ejed looked hard at Annie like that.

‘Pretty.’

The sound of his heart rang in his head.

‘We’re so close together…’

Somehow he felt like he was committing a sin. Apparently, there was no sound when the musicians on the stage were performing.

Ejed clenched his fist in his hand above his knee. He was so nervous that she might hear his trembling breath.

Having swallowed dry saliva several times, he again turned his gaze aside. Was it because of the peculiarity of the place called the theater? He focused well on Annie.

Her side profile was more alluring.

Happiness was shocking enough to make him shudder.

Ejed looked at Annie lovingly.

‘If the play never ends forever… It would be nice.’

His heart tickled. It was a pleasure not only to watch an interesting performance together, but to share this time.

A day that will never return to his life, he thanked God for just being with her.

Ejed made a pledge.

‘You should check the next performance in advance.’

He already knows Annie’s taste well, so it’s easy to do it.

Anxious that Annie might notice his gaze, Ejed stared at the empty seat in front of him. The initials ‘A.D’ were engraved on the smooth wood frame.

In addition to these seats, most seats in this theater were filled with these initials. It was the result of Ejed’s innocent love.

In Porcaus, when replacing old seats, there was a custom of donating in the name of a loved one. It was because of the belief that the donated name will be healthy and happy.

The tree itself was so expensive that few people did it, but Ejed’s wealth was extraordinary. He used his own fortune to secretly donate it to the theater.

His face, who was always pale, blushed red… It was like a dream to watch Annie in this seat.

“…”

But, perhaps she was tired during that time, so Annie started to doze off.

‘… It must have been hard.’

It was sad. Well, she has to go back and forth with a carriage every time for a long time.

In addition, to teach a man who was stigmatized as a tyrant was easier said than done. She would have been nervous.

As time passed, Annie’s mouth began to drool. The embarrassed Ejed took a handkerchief out of his arms and wiped her chin.

Ejed’s fingertips trembled at the thick lips felt through the thin handkerchief.

At that moment, Annie’s eyes flashed.

“…”

“…”

Embarrassed, Ejed pulled his body back.

Clap clap clap clap.

When the applause started, Annie clapped her hands naturally. Ejed, who stared blankly, hurriedly withdrew his hand.

After a while, people murmured and left the auditorium, and when there were only two of them, Annie smiled and said.

“This is an extra point. This kind of stuff is quite delightful. It can be thought of as a little artificial, but I liked it.”

‘I’ve been praised…’

Ejed’s cheeks were so hot that it couldn’t get any redder. He thought he was fortunate that his intestines were still a bit dark.

“But you shouldn’t do this in front of your favorite lady. You’ll be misunderstood as a pervert.”

“…”

“Just kidding. Don’t make such a scary look. Then it looks really scary.”

Annie, who raised her body, stretched her little hand towards Ejed.

Ah.

Ejed opened his lips. Maybe she wanted to wipe her mouth, so she seemed to ask for his handkerchief. He reflexively searched his arms.

‘Handkerchief, handkerchief.’

“Please escort me.”

As he raised his head, he saw Annie with a confident smile. Her hands stretched out to himself, flip back and forth like a joke.

“Come on.”

“…”

With his head bowed, Ejed grabbed her hand. He couldn’t help it. When he lifted his head like this, he felt like she could see a silly face.

Ejed hastened his steps. In the meantime, Annie led the conversation kindly.

“Was it fun? As you can see, I fell asleep in the middle.”

“… Uh.”

“What?”

It was the best. Ejed swallowed the words and stared straight ahead.

A man’s face shone through a transparent glass door facing out.

‘I look like an idiot.’

Both of his cheeks, which were glowing red, looked ridiculous. Ejed hurriedly rubbed his cheeks with his hand that was not holding Annie.

“What did you say, Your Majesty?”

When Annie, who was following him, asked, Ejed shook his head.

Suddenly, the contents of the book he read in the early morning came to mind.

[How To Be An Attractive Man!]

Basic push and pull! Do not show too much!

‘The other person can easily… get tired. That’s what it said.’

Ejed spoke in a chic voice.

“It wasn’t bad.”
