Chapter 111

Carla’s house had always been hectic. The siblings born a year apart grew up day by day, and they were busy fighting each other.

The husband and wife work hard outside and share minor roles fairly. Among them, Carla’s husband was dressing the children’s clothes, wherever they might go.

“Come on, raise your arms. That’s right.”

As he worked hard to dress the two children, Carla approached them.

“Honey, there you are.”

“Yeah, why, honey?”

Carla’s husband couldn’t take his eyes off to appropriately dress the children.

Carla, who understood that point, spoke her words without showing her disappointment.

“I think our young lady is the best.”

“Yeah, this time, she also passed the exam of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs gracefully. She was really cool.”

Her husband brought out the things the wife wanted to hear from her mind. It was his forte that they married after a long love relationship.

But today’s answer was not.

“No, not that. Luck with men.”

“…”

Her husband’s expression changed strangely. This was difficult to agree with, no matter his wife’s story.

Wasn’t it public that everyone knows that Lady Dsev was unhappy with men?

Of course, in the past, John Mox Sovenan was handsome, and it was okay to see him, but in the end, didn’t the marriage break up?

Hesitating, he murmured.

“Lord Sovenan was a good person, but Lady Dsev is not a lucky person.”

“You. Why are you talking about him all of a sudden?”

Carla frowned as if she had worms in her ear.

“What’s there to know about such an ignorant guy? He must eat well and live well while talking in a foreign country. My lady is loved by someone greater than him?”

“Oh. Is there a new person the Lady is meeting?”

His wife’s worries were also his concerns. If Lady Dsev was in a relationship, wouldn’t it solve what Carla had been worried about all along?

At her husband’s brightness, Carla snorted triumphantly.

“You’ll see. Our lady has met a nice, handsome and capable man.”

“What. Such a great person?”

“Yes. What’s more, he’s so obsessed with My Lady that he can’t get her out of his head day and night.”

If his wife were so excited, it wouldn’t be some Lord.

‘Who the hell is this?’

Carla’s husband looked at her and tilted his head.

Carla fumbled in front of the mirror early in the morning. She pulled out the forsythia-colored dress that matched best and even the most gorgeous earrings.

Not only that, but she also did the makeup with more care than usual. Annie was grateful for that but was puzzled.

‘Why is Carla working so hard? It’s because it’s the first time I’m going to work.’

Carla was most excited about the unconventional condition of Annie’s dress.

“My Lady, I’ll put you in the prettiest dress. No, the prettiest thing that suits you best.”

“Uh… that, yes. Thank you.”

“It’s best to decorate so that it doesn’t show up in the first place, isn’t it?”

“Huh.”

She seemed worried that her master might be upset.

‘Still, there is no need to apply it this thick to the lips.’

Somehow, the makeup was a little darker than usual.

Meanwhile, Carla, who finished her preparations, rolled her feet.

“What should I do? What should I do? Today is the first day!”

“How come you look more nervous than me?”

“Of course. How can you not be nervous!”

David also said yesterday that he had a hard time sleeping thanks to his proud sister.

Annie, who patted Carla on the shoulder to calm her down, got into the carriage.

‘By the way, where is Lang?’

She poked her head out the carriage window, but Lang was nowhere to be seen.

Still, the girl who used to wander around in the morning seems more bothersome these days.

“I’ll go. If I’m late, please take Lang for a walk.”

“Don’t worry, My Lady. By the way, can you really go alone? I can stand nearby and wait.”

“No. You’ve worked hard so far, so today, go home earlier than usual and spend time with the kids.”

Carla, who was worried, nodded her head.

“Yes. It would be better for you to go alone for the time being. You have to focus on your work, and there are people you will meet.”

“Oh, yes. There must be seniors.”

“You can come the next day. No, even if you come after a few days, I’ll explain it well to the Count.”

“…You want me to work so hard from the first day?”

Carla had the momentum to create a worker ant somehow. When Annie asked with tears in her eyes, Carla smiled and closed the door to the carriage.

She took a few steps back and said while raising both her hands.

“You can do it, My Lady!”

“Thank you, Carla.”

With the last greeting, the carriage ran towards the imperial palace. Watching the moving scenery, Annie felt a strange feeling.

Contrary to the concerns of her family and young ladies, she was not uncomfortable. This road led to the Imperial Palace, where the fearsome tyrant lives.

‘A lot has happened.’

At the Imperial Palace, she exchanged stories with Ejed and realized his feelings. It was a little awkward and there were many wacky things, but looking back, it was also a good memory.

Annie grinned as she recalled Ejed catching bees in the strawberry fields.

‘Because he’s funny. And he’s a good guy too.’

Annie didn’t lose her smile until the carriage arrived.
