Chapter 34

It was Ejed, lying flat on the cliff above the waterfall.

‘Our Annie’s heart is really nice, too…’

Maybe she was a gift from God to purify this dirty and harsh world.

More than Robby who is called the messenger of the gods. A woman with integrity and a heart as deep as the sea.

Ejed admired her with his lips slightly open, not knowing that the weed was going into his mouth.

His soul seemed to have been spirited away by a woman whose beautiful, dazzling smile brightened the world even more effectively than the sun.

He watched Annie’s movements closely, as he clung to the ground, unnoticed by the tourists. When she drifted into a thinner crowd of tourists, he thought this was the perfect moment to go and quietly say a hello.

Watching Annie, he muttered unknowingly. ‘Ha… I’m envious of Annie’s hat…’

He was very envious of the pink hat that covered her little face. How happy would he be if he were so close to Annie.

He sighed a very long sigh of regret. How great it iwas s to be a hat that can protect Annie from the scorching sun.

His envy did not end at fanciful laments. Was there any magic in the world that can turn him into a hat?

Then, Doher, lying down behind him, opened his mouth and said in a solemn voice. “Um… Your Majesty, if you go further down, your life is in danger.”

***

Ejed’s movement stopped.

When he came to his senses, he was barely hanging over the edge of the cliff.

‘He’s a great aide.’

Doher was a capable man. Ejed, who praised him inwardly, skillfully managed his facial expressions.

His fine black hair, wet and slick from the spray of the waterfall, stuck to his white forehead.

Swiping back his hair with long, slender fingers, Ejed moved away from the cliffedge nimbly.

“Fizz is here.”

Speak of the devil.

From afar, he could hear Fizz’s loud voice.

“Your, Your, Your, Your Majesty! Your Majeeeesstttyyyy!”

“Kneel.”

Fizz, who rushed at Ejed while calling out loudly, lowered his body along with his voice.

How can he hear Ejed’s words so well even from such a great distance? Doher always wondered about it.

Fizz’s face turned blue when he reached the cliffedge, and he looked like a mess.

Ejed, who felt an ominous premonition, asked in haste.

“What is it?”

Fizz flinched at Ejed’s voice.

“Miss Ye-Ye-Yennie… No. Miss Annie… Miss Annie!”

‘What is with our Annie?!’

“Say it.”

Ejed pressed against Fizz. He wanted to grab and shake his shoulder at least, but he held back in fear of Fizz getting more scared.

Fizz looked around nervously and managed to whisper:

“Fing… Fing… Her finger’s hurt!”

What?!

Ejed jumped up without realizing.

Fizz and Doher, clinging to each other, grabbed Ejed by the shoulder and pressed it firmly.

“Stay-Stay calm, Your Majesty!”

“Ah ah! We’ll get discovered!”

Annie was hurt. How could he stay calm?! In addition, if she’s going to write travel books now, but her hands were injured, she would be troubled in many ways.

‘So it turns out that a handkerchief was tied over her finger…’

As Ejed’s face hardened sharply, the two aides trembled.

‘… Wouldn’t it be better to drown than to get cut with a sword?’

Fizz wondered if he would rather go all the way down that cliff.

No, it’s unfair to die here if he thought about what he had studied so far.

Fizz, who was crying, opened his eyes like a person struck by lightning.

“She is not seriously injured, so if you treat it, it will heal soon!”

“No one knows that… ah.”

Doher, who was trying to give him a face, was also speechless.

‘Yes, why are you so concerned about what to do if you can just treat it?’

Doher went to Ejed, who was seriously contemplating whether to summon an imperial physician.

“Your Majesty, a good idea came to me. Could you lend me an ear?”

Fizz, who didn’t notice, clung to the two as if he wanted to fit in.

Eventually, the three men shared their body temperature in the hot weather.

Doher told the two men his plans.

“Because the waterfall is…”

Meanwhile, the nobles who found the silhouette of three men near the waterfall rubbed their eyes.

They couldn’t help but see because Ejed was so tall.

“What? What is that?”

“I know, right. Isn’t that a no-access area over there?”

When they stared again, there was no one.

“Was it an illusion?”

The nobles soon stopped paying attention.
