Chapter 22

Anyway, Robbie repeatedly said several times to ask for caution so that Ejed didn’t lose his heart to another woman.

The story lasted for a month. But he couldn’t believe there was a woman in Ejed’s mind for a long time.

At that time, he was grateful and received it with gratitude, but he felt like he shouldn’t have received it.

‘There, the unrequited love partner is a proclaimer of non-marriage… Ah.  This is really troublesome.’

As he sighed and raised his head, he saw Ejed’s blushing earlobes while slightly lifting his hand from the tree.

Because it resembled the youngest in unrequited love, Doher tore the leaves of the green bushes one by one.

‘Should I help you or not?’

He struggled, plucking the leaves. Considering his loyalty to Robbie, he shouldn’t help but seeing Ejed’s face moved his heart.

“Eh? His Majesty is gone!”

“… What?”

Doher and Fizz, flustered, jumped up and looked around. Because the two suddenly appeared, the nobles and maids who passed by screamed ‘Ack!’ or ‘Oh!’.

But Ejed was nowhere to be found. As the two aides stomped their feet, they heard the voices of Annie and Carla laughing in the distance.

“It’s a very lucky day. I got a rose as a gift.”

“Yes.”

‘… Got a rose as a gift?’

Just in case, Doher opened his mouth wide as he raised his head. Now Ejed was on the roof.

It seemed that he climbed up there and sprinkled roses. Was love really worth costing your life? Of course, if it was Ejed. He would survive even if he fell.

Ejed was smiling like the happiest person in the world. The servants, frightened, fled

Seeing that reckless sight, his mind resonated with the idea that he needed to help again.

Doher, who was conflicted, asked in a voice low enough so only Fiz could hear.

“Senior, why did you become His Majesty’s aide?”

“Huh?”

“There were many other positions.”

Slowly closing his eyes, Doher recalled a wonderful passage from the book he had read.

‘I wanted to dedicate myself to my country. His Majesty is an outstanding person, but I wanted to make him smile since he was lonely.

If you heard such a story, no matter how confident you are, you will be able to get rid of Robbie’s guilt. If you were an aide to the emperor, you have to work for the country and your lord.’

Doher calmly waited for his answer.

Then Fizz said in a very confident voice.

“No. I was the only one.”

“…”

“When I took the official exam, all my colleagues were smart, so I scored almost perfect, and I was the only one to pull it off.”

‘Oh… damn it.  I’m the only one who can help His Majesty’s love in this imperial palace…’

Doher, who gained deep enlightenment, came to a decision. Regardless of the reason, the only normal person was right to help Ejed.

In the meantime, Fiz smiled senselessly.

“I was lucky… huh?  Doher, where do you go! Hey! Hey, Doher! Hey, man!”

The strong sunlight fell on the rooftop.

However, Doher and Fiz felt as if they were standing in a snowy field of Kessen.

The presence of a man in front of them dropped the ambient temperature by about 30 degrees or more.

Even the sassy Winter Queen was beautiful enough to fall in love at first sight, but he’s a cold emperor.

Doher opened his trembling lips, thinking that he should buy a coat early to wear this year.

“Your Majesty, you only need to remember one thing.”

“What?”

He only asked one question, but Doher and Fiz sweat.

Ejed, who made their spine shudder with just a single word, was like the archmage of ice.

Now, desperate to hear the reaction of the two, Ejed turned his head aside. Little by little, the feeling of joy, as if it was just flying away, faded to the ground little by little.

As expected, it was right to keep silent. Even the aides who helped him sincerely are uncomfortable.

Annie, too, would react the same as them if she faced him. Ejed’s eyes trembled.

But contrary to his expectation that they would run away, Doher talked louder.

“Realistically, it’s helpful to let go of the feeling that you want to do so well, so without any burden.”

Perhaps Doher noticed his unrequited love!
