Chapter 177

“Hey, Doher. Shouldn’t we be toasting together?”

“Have a good lunch and don’t say anything strange. Why are we toasting?”

Even after giving Fizz a pint glass, Doher’s face did not fade with joy.

They can’t believe they succeeded in dating? Doher almost forgot his identity and almost hugged Ejed fiercely.

It was even more so because he watched Ejed, who suffered from tears of unrequited love, up close.

Robbie was no different. He developed a strange logic, saying that the date when the couple started dating should be selected as a national anniversary.

It was a bit difficult to stop him, in fact, but Doher had no major complaints. Even such a series of disturbances was a happy situation.

Doher, who was cleaning up Ejed’s desk, was deep in thought. Ejed had occupied this spot a little while ago, finished his work more quickly and accurately than ever before, and left the seat.

Doher knew for sure without having to say the destination. Annie with the ring on her hand went to work at the Imperial Palace.

The person who delivered the great news spoke very seriously. He seemed to be contemplating what to do for the future of the two of them.

Mostly it was a playful idea that Doher had previously had. Well, how much and where should the congratulatory money be given and such.

Doher, who had been arranging the ink positions, stopped moving.

Suddenly, he had a concern.

‘There’s no problem… …isn’t it?’

That gigantic ring that Annie wore like showing off. With that alone, not just one who could guess who Annie was dating.

Even if it’s not for Fiz, who is the emperor’s assistant, it will be revealed soon.

‘It’s not like Lady Dsev. She knew how to hide… Well, it’s no problem though.’

Externally, the two are entangled in state affairs. Also, Ejed is an emperor, not an ordinary man.

So, even if he was dating, he predicted that if it was Annie, they would meet as quietly as possible.

However, Doher’s judgment was glaringly wrong. It was good, but he was worried, so he fidgeted with the tip of his chin in thought.

Maybe Lady Dsev’s heart is enough to bear even those things.

A bright smile spread across Doher’s lips.

“Okay, senior. Tonight it’s on me.”

***

Annie’s expression was full of seriousness as she looked at the small clock on the desk. The second hand points to four, and their appointment is exactly an hour later.

Today is actually her first date. Moreover, after accepting the confession, she was kind of nervous because she had never even had a proper conversation with him.

They were supposed to have dinner together while chatting for a while, but she couldn’t quite figure out what topic to bring up.

Annie patted her chest with her hand, she was so nervous that her stomach hurts.

‘Carla, I became like this because she’s talking nonsense!’

Annie’s cheeks flushed red as she remembered the morning conversation. Carla said she would make an excuse any time, so you can come tomorrow.

It’s surprising. A couple who has only been around for a few days, and even after formal dating, they haven’t even talked properly, what does that mean?

Carla’s innocent eyes blinked at Annie’s true color. From her mouth, she brazenly argued that she was an adult anyway.

‘Even if you are an adult, yes. How can that be…….’

Of course, the moment she holds hands or be together with Ejed is too good to describe. If you hold the hand of someone you like, why can you hate it?

But when she thought of Ejed, even that thought made her a little embarrassed. Because he’s such a naive and straight-forward person.

‘…… After all, it’s His Majesty’s first relationship. Let’s go out step by step.’

Not only is it a matter of the oracle, he could never have had physical contact with a woman he didn’t like because of Ejed’s personality.

If so, Annie was in a position where she had to tell him. It was her first time in a situation like this, so she was embarrassed inside too.

‘Well… … It’ll be alright. It’ll be alright. Yes. From simple……  ‘

But if it’s simple , where does it start? Annie pressed her troubled forehead.

Her hair had turned so white that it was now overshadowed by the fact that has not told anyone about her love affair.

At that moment, Demela, who was passing by, approached her with his eyes wide open.

“Annie. Where are you uncomfortable?”

“Oh, no. No, senior.”

“Hmm.”

Annie waving her hand in denial and saying gibberish is unusual. Demela’s eyes, who was watching her, came close.

Precisely, it was on stopping that was fixed on the ring finger of her left hand, which had stopped waving.

‘…… Porcaus Ring?’

It didn’t take long for him to figure out why the ring, considered the national treasure of the country, was put on his subordinate’s hand.

‘Your Majesty and her……… Was it like that?’

However, Demela, who succeeded in managing his expression, was also competent. He came up with the most powerful of the many hypotheses that came to his mind.

There is no way the Emperor could have stolen that precious ring. If so, it means that it was given directly.
