Chapter 80

‘At the dining room… I prepared everything perfectly.’

He had no intention of getting Annie to sit on a counter like this and eat.

He wanted her to be adequately treated in a luxurious hall lined with Kessen Empire tablecloths. Because of Annie, he even put her favorite flowers in a glass bottle.

Today, Doher was especially bitter. Why did the aide, who was always acting smart, do this?

Then, Annie put down the fork.

“…Hmmm.”

Ejed looked at Annie with nervous eyes.

His heart was about to explode as he listened to what those little lips might say.

“Then…”

“…”

“The taste is 100 points? Maybe it’s because I ate what was just made hot. The flavor was much better.”

After all, Doher was the number one aide!

Ejed smiled happily.

‘I’m glad.’

But then, something red appeared on Annie’s cheek.

‘The sauce…’

Ejed stretched out his arms, stroked her cheek with his thumb.

“You are outstanding. As long as you do this, there will be no problems.”

Annie looked closely at Ejed. Today he brushed his hair back and made his character even more alive.

A woman wouldn’t mind a handsome man who has a good personality and is young and capable.

It was almost perfect. Although he is quiet, he is better than a talkative man.

“Now, there isn’t much left.”

Annie grinned and extended her right hand, clenched at Ejed’s.

What does it mean? Looking at her blankly, she added her explanation.

“This is the way to cheer in the Kessen Empire. Ancient warriors mainly did it, and they say that they will accomplish a lot by doing this.”

“…”

“Come on, hit it.”

The hesitant Ejed clasped his hands with her as he gently clenched her fists.

The fists touching each other, and the inside of the pasta being eaten was warm.

Annie smiled warmly.

“I don’t think there are a lot of classes left now. Love is about timing. The other party won’t wait until it’s too late…”

“…”

“I look forward to your kind cooperation in the short time left…”

Flash.

Robbie opened his eyes and frowned as he stared at the ceiling.

Oh shit.

Even today, he couldn’t get out of this dirty world— a romance fantasy novel written by his younger sibling.

The chirping birds through the wide-open windows was more vivid than in the previous world.

But it only made him annoyed. He missed Korea. Kimchi stew, ramen, pork belly, tripe, soju, and all.

If it’s a consolation thing, at least, he’d say his friend.

Robbie got up and approached the wall. Three portraits were hung there.

It was the parents with a young Ejed in the middle. Robbie glanced at the man smiling broadly among them.

A young man resembling Ejed, but he was a young man with a slightly darker impression.

“Hey. Are you resting well there?”

“…”

“I mean, I told you. You have to get married according to the cliché to live…”

[You come in a book? Robbie, are you half awake from your dream? ]

[You idiot. If you want to live long, you shouldn’t date her!! That unknown woman!]

[ It’s stupid, don’t worry, Robbie. The power of love is strong. ]

Robbie sighed and bit his lip.

“Nevertheless… I will make sure Ejed gets married according to the cliché.”

“…”

“Should Ejed meet the cliché breaker? There must be only one woman like that in the world.”

“…”

“Ejed will live happily ever after. I won’t let you go first.”

Robbie said confidently. He was a child and a precious being like a brother.

Then, the door swung open.

“Sir Robbie! Lady Dsev has entered the Imperial Palace again!”

“…Where?”

“I-Imperial Kitchen!”

“Kitchen?”

Robbie, with a frown, hurriedly followed Fizz. The two quickly approached the imperial kitchen.

“I think, here!”

“You get out of the way.”

Robbie grabbed Fizz’s neck and pulled him back. He heard a ‘Hing’ from behind, but he ignored it.

It was best to leave the guy who didn’t help.

Soon, Robbie came close to the door.

“Come on, hit it.”

Robbie was shocked by the sight in the distance.

Ejed is facing a short woman with a shy face.

‘…’

Robbie was at a loss for words at the unexpected sight.

The sight of a boy who was like a son to whom he changed his diapers, carried him, and raised him, was a big shock to him.

Fizz asked what the two of them were doing from behind, but he couldn’t hear it.

“…The Dsev family?”

“Yes, Sir Robbie! This is Miss Annie of the Dsev family, who declared a non-marriage. She’s astute, but she’s very scary.”

“…Declaration of non-marriage? Why is the kid who declared non-married doing that with our Ejed?”

“It seems that she  is trying to take some kind of weakness of His Majesty’s and torment it.”

“What kind of nonsense? There is no such thing as weakness in our Ejed.”

When the arrow suddenly changed direction, Fizz blinked his big eyes in embarrassment.

“Tsk.”

Robbie clicked his tongue and stared at the two again. What’s so fun? The smile did not fade on the faces of the young men and women.

Of course, to others, it would seem like Ejed is smiling fiercely.

“Hey, Fizz.”

“Yes! Would you like to have a separate meeting with the Lady? And a bunch of money.”

“What? You bastard, why am I meeting her separately?”

Robbie’s face turned red as he glared at Fizz. He was careful not to be heard by Ejed, but he spoke harshly with harsh language.

“This kid. Do I look like a bastard who sees a helpless little boy and bullies him? Huh?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“That’s enough. Stop doing it. What kind of person are you? Stupid.”

“…Did you curse at me?”

“Twitter.”

Again, the tongue-tied Robbie walked towards the hallway. Fizz quickly followed behind him.

“What are you going to do?”

“Of course, people have to roll their brains.”

What are you trying to do? Fizz couldn’t contain his curiosity.

Robbie gave a gloomy smile.

“Look forward to it. Because Ejed won’t be able to stand in front of that woman as he does now.”
