Annie grabbed the bedroom window sill and thrust her head out of the window.

A cold autumn wind.

The scent of autumn leaves filling the lungs is sweet. The dimly lit garden outside the window was barely visible by the lamp, but it was hard to take her eyes off it.

It was the most beautiful fall of her life. Why is the half-attached leaf on a bare branch so pretty? Even the crumbled leaves on the floor are like pieces of stars that have fallen from the night sky.

A day that shines brighter than ever. Annie had to admit that the reason was Ejed.

There is a gorgeous ring on the ring finger of her left hand, clutching the window sill. She couldn’t forget how happy the person who put it into her hand had laughed.

He nodded his head several times saying it was all right, even though it had been made clear that her intentions about not marrying had not changed.

Rather, he urged Annie to try to hide the relationship if she wanted to, as it could make Annie in trouble. Although she was curious about the consideration, she thought that it was very interesting

She sighed helplessly.

“Your Majesty is really”

Who would believe him if he said it was okay with such a sad face? No, as someone who gives the ring first.

Annie chuckled and put her chin on the window sill. She decided to remember this moment forever.

No, she seemed to continue to remember it, regardless of anything. Even the wind on a night full of autumn cannot cool down this hot heat.

Her forehead, cheeks, throat and chest were hot and pounding as if on fire. Maybe even more than when she met John.

That fact also gave vague fear to Annie, who had already made up her mind.

‘…… But I still like him.’

If she let Ejed go alone like this, she was convinced that she would regret it. Even Annie was a little embarrassed by her emotions.

Ejed put her own feelings first. If she will regret any choice, it will be a deception.

And, if possible, there were scenes she wanted to show him. The most beautiful sights hidden throughout the empire.

Places like pearls in the mud that even the Emperor, Ejed couldn’t go. She wanted to go there with him in the same carriage.

The wish became more concrete. If possible, she would like to see Ejed behind the landscape.

Tak.

Annie quickly closed the window and headed to bed. Come on, close your eyes, tomorrow comes, and I’ll go to the Imperial Palace. There must be such a process in order to see Ejed.

There are small fun things to do in the Imperial Palace, but looking back, the one that occupies the largest volume was Ejed.

A faint wrinkle formed between Annie’s beautiful forehead as she lifted the bedsheets.

‘……I mean I haven’t seen him much lately.’

It was self-inflicted, but it was truly a pity that she was not able to see the picturesque-like man as he was reviewing documents.

Before long, Annie sank into the bed sheet. She closed her eyes as she grabbed the end of the white sheet with her hand.

‘Still… Because we can meet tomorrow. Just be patient.’

The shadow created by the candle on the night table glimmered over Annie’s face.

And a deeper joy was drawn in it.

Carla was busy with the news that the master was returning to work at the Imperial Palace. Since it was a long-awaited decision, she almost cheered from dawn.

Carla was thrilled to select Annie’s dress and prepare an early breakfast. But the real finale was different.

Carla bowed her head down before brushing Annie’s hair. If she did not do this, her smile seemed to be revealed.

Her hand on the wooden comb vigorously moved up and down as she shifted her gaze. It was to the ring finger of the master’s left hand.

A delightful smile appeared on her lips.

‘Whoo, Our Majesty. Be proud of yourself.’

At first, Carla was astonished that her eyes popped as soon as she saw the ring on Annie’s ring finger.

But instead of asking questions, she chose to wait quietly. If she stands still, she’ll be halfway through. She did not want to scatter ashes on the relationship between the two of them by making a fuss for nothing.

Her mouth was itchy, but that was the best she could do. If Carla knows the master, she will tell herself about it soon.

Annie, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, pointed her hand to the corner of her mouth. She spoke carefully.

“Hey, Carla. I wish I could have darkened the lip color a bit.”

Annie, who completely entrusted all of her makeup to Carla, has changed. That alone filled Carla’s heart.

She had guessed it well, but Annie’s feelings seemed more serious. It has been a long time since seeing the master like this, so Carla was very happy.

“Yeah, I’ll do it as ordered!”

Carla snorted and pulled out a new lipstick from the drawer. It was more of a deep rose color than the fleshy lipstick she had now.

Carla took out the handkerchief and wiped Annie’s lips as she rolled her eyes in embarrassment.

Then Carla said that she had all of her lips painted.

“Okay, it’s done!”

“Yes, thank you, you did a great job, Carla.”

“Of course. Let me know if you need anything more. Oh, can I get some Sanel hairpins?”

Carla asked positively, remembering the Sanel hairpins she had bought before. It came as a Porcaus limited edition, and it went well as an accessory for Annie.

It wasn’t just because she was Annie’s maid. But even seeing other nobles wearing hairpins, Annie was the best.

A short, golden hairpin that matched Annie’s short brown hair, and a small logo embroidered on it, captured the hearts of Annie and Carla at once.

“It’s all right. Rather, Carla.”

‘Oh my gosh.’

Carla exclaimed inwardly. Her master averted her eyes for the first time.

Annie, shyly tucking her hair behind her ears, lowered her eyes.

“I… started a relationship.”

Carla’s cheers echoed through the bedroom.
