Chapter 172

Ejed got into trouble. Before he could even properly start his relationship with Annie, he got caught up in this weird thing.

“Your Majesty! Are you busy?”

It was because of the uninvited guest who came to his office. When a beautiful woman appeared, he paused inside.

No matter how new the announcements about the tyrant’s oracle spread, he was still the emperor of a country.

Princess Ershatina kept appearing to see Ejed was difficult. Not only that, but she also actively encouraged him to talk and eat.

It was the first time he had received such attention from the opposite sex, so he was very embarrassed.

Of course, there were many women who admired his appearance, but no one put it into practice.

Ershatina seemed to break all the notions. Only the two assistants were thrilled by her bright smile.

The two men seemed to be excited about the appearance of a beauty that is rare to see anywhere else. They were a little uncomfortable at first, but it was only for a moment.

Her flawless character was like a round porcelain. It was smooth and shiny, and the two assistants quickly became friends with her.

They liked her more because she wasn’t arrogant like a princess. The three became friends very quickly.

Thanks to that, only Ejed was a cushion of thorns.

‘You said you would come back…… ’

Ejed was relieved inside by the princess’s intention to return home even though reluctant.

But for some reason he felt sorry for the princess, and before she left, he declared that he would build an acquaintance.

After that, she made not just one step, but two or three steps towards Ized. He was very embarrassed by the effort.

“Your Majesty, are you very busy today?”

Instead of answering, Ejed just nodded his head and looked at the documents. Ershatna is definitely a high-profile woman, but he wasn’t comfortable with her.

The casually sparkling eyes and the voice full of love were not pleasing even in terms of manners. To do it is only for someone with a heart.

It’s just a troublesome concern for Ejed, who already has his eyes and all his senses focused on Annie.

Even then, he wondered if Annie would look at him like that. So he came up with a bitter imagination that Annie might feel the same way he now does.

It was a pity to see Ershatina. It was like seeing himself herself clinging to Annie like that for 7 years. He felt compassion.

Ershatina, unaware of such feelings, laughed at the jokes of the two aides today. She had an innocent look as she had forgotten about the commotion not long ago.

Ejed looked down at the long, messy blonde hair on the sofa, and then lowered his eyes. He missed Annie’s brown hair more than the blonde hair.

Watching her short bob hair fluttering in the wind made his chest flutter. Although not flashy, he liked her special hair.

He wanted to hear Annie’s tone, which was firm, although not as soft as Ershatina. She was so smart and cool when she spoke out loud.

In Ejed’s, he’s never seen a better woman than Annie. He could be sure It was the same now and in the future.

As he thought of such thoughts, his heart filled with longing, and he became even more exhausted. Having processed the last remaining papers in a hurry, Ejed got up.

“Your Majesty, where are you going?”

Without losing sight of him, the princess asked. If he honestly told where he was going, she would follow.

Her big eyes looked up at him like a puppy. He could feel how desperately it was already half-moistened.

But that’s why he had to keep their distance. For the princess’ future, that was the best way.

Ejed knew better than anyone how lonely and difficult his unrequited love was. He said in a cold tone as if indifferent.

“What does that have to do with the princess?”

The two aides stopped when they heard Ejed’s tone they had never seen before. Even when the master was misunderstood as a tyrant, he did not use such a way of speaking.

Ershatina also paused, as if she was embarrassed, then hesitated to answer.

“I’m sorry. I just wanted to get to know Your Majesty……”

“You mean it doesn’t matter if the other is uncomfortable?”

He thought it was really impossible. It was as if he was stabbing himself with a dagger. He obviously knew that Annie was uncomfortable yet he had approached her.

Ejed said as if swallowing bitter water.

“I hope you don’t come to visit me in such a rude way again.”

He turned away from her shocked eyes.

He passed the sofa where the three were sitting and headed towards the door.

The hand holding the doorknob was too tight. Ejed moved his stiff hands and went out.

But halfway through the hallway, he heard someone shout.

“I like you!”

When he turned his head, he saw a desperate face.

“I like you, Your Majesty.”
