Chapter 104

Although she was confident in herself in many ways, including the business, this was really a ‘dream’ story.

So far, there has been no history of a Lady joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

And a County too. It will fail in the document review itself.

So, when she said something like this, everyone had the same reaction.

[How do you get in there?]

Her family encouraged her, but their eyes were full of concern.

For some reason, it was difficult for Annie to see Ejed’s face properly. She wouldn’t be in a good mood if he made the same expression as those who considered her peculiar.

Then, Ejed said seriously.

“It’s a wonderful dream.”

“…What? This?”

When asked, he nodded his head.

“Why don’t you try it now?”

“It’s just a dream that has passed. And everyone thinks it’s a bit strange when I talk about it.”

To be honest, the reaction was similar to when she declared her non-marriage.

Was it because there was someone who really listened to her? Annie showed the deep feelings that she wouldn’t usually bring out.

“Actually, I got tired of that process. It seems like I’m the only one who’s weird.”

There were cases where it didn’t do any damage.

Not every time she thought about it, but still, there was a slight injury inside.

‘It’s been a long time since we talked.’

“So, well, I compromised. To the extent of giving up on my succession and writing a book.”

“Annie.”

“Yes?”

Ejed saw her eyes and said seriously.

“Each person may have a different point of view. But why are you ashamed that you say your opinion proudly to others.”

Annie was a bit confused.

“Are you mad?”

The fast and ferocious voice was quite different from usual.

“Rather, people who can’t listen to other people’s stories are harsh and intolerant… Anyway, that’s the way life is.”

“…”

“I think it’s amazing that you had such a dream in itself.”

“…I’m ashamed just listening to that?”

“I’m serious.”

This time Ejed did not apologize.

Rather, he didn’t even blink.

At his responsible attitude, she somehow smiled.

“Actually, I feel good.”

“Because I’m serious.”

“Yes, yes. I guess so.”

After finishing the word wrestling, Annie twisted her body to get up. As she jumped, she slipped, and Ejed supported her.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Are you okay”

The two who spoke almost simultaneously looked at each other.

And at that moment, Annie held her breath.

Something was clearly transmitted through the cracks in her hair following the strong wind.

Red eyes were looking down at her.

Kindness overflows in it.

“Annie? Does it hurt a lot?”

Annie couldn’t raise her head.

***

Ejed took Annie to the front of the mansion.

Standing in front of the mansion’s front door, she turned her head unknowingly.

Empty dark road. Annie, who thought she was lucky there was no carriage, touched her forehead.

“Ah… why am I making this illusion again?”

Today, she imagined that Ejed liked her.

That’s how vivid it was on that hill. The emotion reflected in his eyes was straight and clear.

‘…I don’t know who it is, but I’m envious.’

What kind of woman in the world doesn’t like those love-filled dripping eyes?

She could only imagine that if she had been the lady he had a crush on, she would have been fascinated.

Annie shook her head.

‘…It’s because he’s been doing so well in class all this time. Whoa. No no. It’s not me.’

Annie smirked without realizing. But her thoughts did not easily leave her mind.

It was the same in the morning.

“Stupid. There’s no way the Emperor would like me.

“Sigh. Why wouldn’t there be anything to be desired?”

Annie turned her head at the sudden voice from behind. Then she saw Carla, who was brushing her hair.

‘Since when has she been there?’

Annie often forgot her existence. Annie stared blankly, and Carla said while winking at her.

“I feel sorry for My Lady.”

“Why are you sad?”

“My Lady is a national treasure in many ways.”

“It’s only for you.”

In fact, Carla loved her so much. Perhaps Carla sees Annie as a third child in her eyes.

“Why can’t my young lady be a national treasure? She is the only one who is fluent in 7 languages.”

It’s true; Annie didn’t have to object this time.

Carla muttered as she combed the brown hair.

“This time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial family seems like a fool. If it were me, I would come to the young lady first and ask for it.”

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs?”

“Didn’t you hear that? There was a big announcement that they were hiring new people. It’s in the newspaper today.”

“I haven’t seen it yet.”

In response to Annie’s answer, Carla brought the newspaper.

A large title caught her eye from the front of the newspaper.

[Recruitment of talents for the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs]

“They say that the document review itself has disappeared from this time on. They say it’s just a closed test.”

“…”

“It’s just looking at your skills.”

Annie couldn’t take her eyes off the newspaper for quite some time.
