On a bluish dawn evening, Annie stood in her closet.
Squeak.
When she opened the door, she saw various dresses.
Annie paused as she ran her hand over the familiar dress.
Among them, there were the Lord’s clothes, as if they had been prepared in advance by someone.
Annie’s eyes widened when she discovered very luxurious royal dark blue clothes, bandages, and even high-heeled men’s shoes.
‘Who prepared this…’
Creak.
“My Lady.”
At that time, the person who opened the door was Carla. She grinned when she found the surprised master.
“I thought I was going to be like this. It’s because you can’t fool me even though you can fool a ghost?”
“Carla, how…”
“Come on. Today, you can go wearing the clothes I prepared for you. You said you’re taking an actual conversation test, so go and keep your voice down as much as you can, and act like you’re a Lord.”
Contrary to her playful words, Carla’s expression was full of concern. It could be difficult for her to go and get good results, no matter how brilliant her own master was.
Was there no precedent for a Lady to join the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
She trusted her master, but the people of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs couldn’t believe it.
“Anyway, it’s all private until the announcement of acceptance. Still, just in case, I’ll give you a magic potion that changes your voice…”
“Carla.”
A touched Annie walked over to Carla and hugged her. She came at dawn like this, with her children who didn’t want to leave their mother’s side.
No, more than that, she was moved by Carla’s thought about who would have prepared for this.
To buy those luxurious clothes, Carla must have invested more than a month of time and money.
Annie said with all her heart.
“Thank you for caring so much. Thank you for giving me a lot of strength.”
“Of course!”
“But don’t be offended, and I want you to listen.”
Annie spoke kindly to her so that Carla did not misunderstand her.
“Carla, thank you very much, but I’m sorry. I’m going to wear a dress today.”
“Why?”
“I don’t want to run away. If I’m really good at it, they’ll choose me regardless of my gender.”
“It’s not about running away. My Lady, act smart as usual.”
Frustrated, Carla tried to lower her voice while nagging her.
Annie, who smiled at the cute figure, raised her hand and stroked the blonde hair.
“No, you don’t have to. I will pass.”
“My Lady…”
“In the first place, I’m going to get better grades than anyone else in the written test.”
She hugged the worried Carla more and whispered.
“Thank you very much. I will do my best to come.”
Annie, who comforted Carla, wore her dress and departed for the Imperial Palace. Carla readily said she would follow, but Annie stopped and told her to return.
In the end, Carla sighed and went back.
‘Is it already this many?’
From early in the morning, the examination hall of the Imperial Palace was full of people, and the heat was incredible.
Lords seated in a line on a white chair were reading a book as if they were sucked in.
Everyone was studying while holding their breath. A heavy nervousness filled the space.
‘…Isn’t that amazing?’
Annie, who was admiring, cautiously sat down. Fortunately, she alone was of a different gender, but not everyone was very interested in her.
They all seemed like people who risked their lives for success. Annie took a seat in a somewhat uncomfortable chair and glanced over the parchment she had prepared in advance.
The purple eyes twinkled.
‘Great. Just do it as usual.”‘
From the day she decided, Annie began studying languages
in earnest. She used the frequently used words and conversations diplomatically, and even foreign cultures.
But she did not announce her decision. She doesn’t want to cause concern to her family and her acquaintances in advance.
Annie stared at the text under the parchment.
[Annie Mill Dsev, Passed.]
‘I’m sure I’ll pass.’
She wanted to pass and achieve many dreams.
‘In addition to Porcaus travel books, she will continue to publish travel books worldwide. so that anyone can read her book.’
A smile came out of nowhere. It was also a new dream. She will look forward to tomorrow with trembling emotions.
Then, when a man entered, there was a riot from the entrance.
‘What’s the fuss all of a sudden?”
When the interior, which had been quiet all the time, was bustling, Annie also became interested.
“L-Lord Lemnas. Long time no see!”
“Hello. How are you?”
‘Oh, that person is Lord Lemnas.’
A young man with long brown hair straightened was smiling. Lemnas accepted the handshakes of the people around him one by one and maintained his kindness all the time.
Everyone tried to stand out in the eyes of the greatest rival of this test, which everyone feared.
‘That’s amazing… As rumored, he seems to have a good personality.’
Like a successful businessman, he looked dignified and confident.
‘If it’s that much, he wouldn’t have to come here… After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can work autonomously at its discretion.”
So this time, the attention of the nobles was even more focused. Even the head of a family or the heirs can do both jobs.
The Imperial family wanted talented people who could be utilized at the right time, even once a year.
