Chapter 120

At this, the officials who play the most prominent role in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled and nodded their heads. Among them, some had visited Yulfbe as envoys not long ago.

“His Majesty’s command to keep it quiet was quite tickling. But as of today, I can share it.”

“It’s because the Yulfbe accepted it. Because of the sensitive reaction, we also moved very carefully.”

“Then…”

“Yes. It’s a confirmed matter. We’ve decided to send the grain grown in the fertile lands south of Porkaus to Yulfbe for the next few years.”

‘His Majesty…’

Annie opened her mouth in admiration. She never thought that Ejed would pay attention to such details.

Meanwhile, Lord Lemnas, who dared to criticize the emperor’s will, turned white.

With his head bowed, his shoulders trembled faintly.

“I hope you will continue to present your opinions as today.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

“Dsev. I’m looking forward to your performance.”

When Demela, famous for being a tiger, smiled benevolently, his colleagues were startled. They couldn’t argue with Annie anymore.

When the meeting was over, the officials left the conference room in turn. Annie, who recorded today’s agenda, got up late.

But there were two colleagues standing side by side at the back door. Their appearance was as if they had been waiting for her.

They had no good intentions, so Annie narrowed her eyes.

‘Look at these guys?’

Clack, clack.

Annie, who deliberately shuffled her papers aloud, walked towards the door.

It advanced on her.

“You haven’t gone yet? It seems you have a lot of free time.”

“She’s more clumsy than I thought. I can’t believe she presented an opinion that matches His Majesty’s in advance.”

‘How can we agree in advance? Ah… no way.’

Trying to figure out what they were saying, Annie clicked her tongue inside. It seemed that they had a story about the fact that the Dsev family had cooperated with the Imperial business.

The story of Dsev gaining the Emperor’s trust through cooperation became famous both within and outside the empire.

Even if she said it was just a misunderstanding anyway, her mouth would just hurt. Annie stared intently at the two of them.

Of course, her mouth moved hard.

“I don’t think the two of you who have postponed everything are going to say this to me. Do you have any other requests for me?”

“How long do you think it will be like that?”

“Continuously.”

“…What?”

“Like the prosperity of the Great Porkaus Empire, I think I will continue to win and win.”

Annie had the biggest mischievous smile she could have. She wasn’t originally like this, but she had to change depending on the situation.

She, above all else, had tolerated those who had devalued her.

As planned, the two colleagues were heated and clenched their teeth.

“Are you bragging in front of us now?”

“It’s a bit like making a campaign!”

“Bragging, interesting. Yes. It could be. I’m a little smarter, and I’m good at my job, right?”

The two lords stared blankly at her at the very brazen reply.

Annie always handled her work skillfully but never lost her humility, so they hadn’t even thought of such a change of attitude.

“I did everything I had to do today in advance. Of course, the travel book I had to do at the mansion is going well,”

Whoo. Annie let out a quick sigh and spurred the attack.

“Ah. But I’m a little worried about you two. You two should go before me. I’ve done everything, but the two of you still haven’t gotten used to the job, and there are a lot of things to memorize, right?”

It was like a nuance that they should take good care of themselves.

As they trembled, Annie returned to her expressionless face and said,

“Get out of the way.”

***

Clack, clack.

A smile spreads across Ejed’s face as he walks down the hallway. Just imagining the morning events filled his heart.

‘Annie has finally called my name!’

He wanted to spread a rumor to the Imperial Palace. Even his steps were as light as a feather.

Perhaps feeling the joy of the master, Sev, in Ejed’s jacket, groaned.

“Sev, can you wait a minute? I’ll just hand over the papers to Annie and take you out right away.”

“Kiing, kiing.”

Ejhed’s eyes twinkled when he saw the conference room door. Sev also felt Annie’s energy, so his round pupils grew bigger.

That was then…

[She’s more clumsy than I thought. I can’t believe she presented an opinion that matches His Majesty’s in advance.]

‘…What do you mean?’

Ejed, having stopped, instinctively hid behind the pillar.

As he poked his head out, he saw familiar faces. They were newbies who joined Annie together.

Usually, he would be wary of asking Annie out, but it wasn’t like that today.

There was a story that Doher gives him that Annie’s two colleagues alienated her.

The nervous Ejed overheard their conversation with Sev. Seeing the opportunity, he thought of helping Annie from behind.

But that idea was quickly shattered.

“How long do you think it will be like that?”

“Continuously.”

“…What?”

“Like the prosperity of the Great Porkaus Empire, I think I will continue to win and win.”

“Bragging, interesting. Yes. It could be. I’m a little smarter, and I’m good at my job, right?”

‘How… can she just be saying the right things like that?”

Ejed was very surprised because only the answer came out of Annie’s mouth.

Annie, who didn’t even hold a sword, turned the two men into ruins instantly.

It was truly a huge win.

“Get out of the way.”

Clack, clack.

As she vanished with an imposing gait, her colleagues were pointed towards her back.

Ejed, watching her from afar, grabbed his left chest.
