As Annie pressed her temple with her hands, Carla’s eyes lit up.

“My Lady, why did you get his coat yesterday?”

It seemed like the meticulous Carla had found what she hid under her bed.

‘It was good to hide the letters and ring in the desk drawer.’

Even if they could cheat ghosts, not with Carla.
Annie replied calmly.

“We were just talking on the terrace for a while, so he lent it for manners.”

“If he lent it, you have to give it back.
Which house is he from?”

“Porcaus.”

“As expected, he’s from our country too.
So, which house is it?”

Certainly, the owner of the Porcaus Empire was Porcaus.
Wasn’t it already in the name itself ‘Ejed Jean Porcaus’?

‘… To get involved with such a person.’

Annie felt sick for some reason, so she stretched and said.

“It’s Po-Urcaus.”

“Is My Lady playing around?”

Carla, who tilted her head, continued to ask questions.

“When will you return the coat? Or will I have a servant send it back?”

“…”

“Are you keeping it?”

Annie gave strength to her eyebrows.
In this situation, it was ridiculous to go to the Imperial Palace and give the Emperor the coat.

But it’s also a problem to keep those things as they are.

‘… I’m going crazy.’

She couldn’t help but sigh, not knowing what to do, and the butler panted from far away.

“My Lady! Lady Annie!”

It’s the first time they’ve ever seen the decent butler run.
Insecure, Carla pulled the hem of Annie’s sleeves.

“My Lady, something didn’t happen, right?”

“Do not worry about it.”

Annie replied relatively calmly and raised her body.

Suddenly, the butler stood in front of the two.
His wrinkled hands trembled as he delivered the black letter.

“From… From the Imperial Palace… a letter…”

Annie read the letter and nodded softly.

“Prepare a carriage.”

“My Lady, why did you do that! Responding to the invitation of the tyrant’s aide!”

“It’s an important job with big issues for the country.”

“What the hell is going on? No! Why?! If they need help, call Master David! Of course, our Lady should be much smarter than the Master!”

“… Carla.
I almost got a little upset?”

David, who stood in the corner of the office, coughed.
The small young man, who resembled not only his younger sister’s appearance, but also her height, looked at the two women alternately with conflicted eyes.

Unlike the chaotic people in the family, his younger sister was calm.
She was so resolute that she was even choosing a notebook and pen to write on the way to the Imperial Palace.

The sender of the letter that arrived at the Dsev family was Doher D.
Ruble, the Emperor’s aide.

‘Why is the senior aide…’

Everyone was astonished just by that fact.
Not only was it unusual to send a letter from the Imperial Palace, but they never even heard about it being written by the Emperor’s aide.

However, Annie asked in an insignificant tone.

“The carriage.”

“Getting ready outside… No.
Are you really going to go today?”

“Come at your own convenience, but it’s convenient for me to go now.”

Annie began to diligently pack her things.

On the lovely table in the Imperial garden where the sunshine falls…

Annie and Ejed sat there.

In the dream-like situation, Ejed’s red lips slowly opened up.

‘I didn’t expect you to come…’

Doher invited Annie, saying that he had prepared a way for the two to become acquainted.
But she responded right away to the invitation.
It was unexpected even for Doher.

The maid standing behind Annie had a face that was filled with a lot of caution, but Annie was relatively calm.

After a sip of tea, Annie opened her lips in a calm voice.

“It’s difficult to keep track of the state of the country.
You must have had a hard time.”

“That’s right.”

“You didn’t tell the aide.”

The faces of the two aides behind Ejed hardened.
However, Annie only looked at Ejed staring at the teacup.

A terrifyingly handsome face like before.
It had a number of complex feelings.

‘… Don’t shy away.
It’s only person-to-person.’

She was referring to her own fears and speaking to herself.

“I’m actually a person who likes things that are intuitive and simple.
So I don’t beat around the bush.”

“…””

“So, Your Majesty.
Please let me talk to you alone from now on.”

“My Lady!”

Carla pinched her in the back, but Annie was firm.
Doher left the garden after holding the bewildered Fizz, and Carla was forced to leave.

When they all disappeared, Annie sighed.

The man in front of her was a tyrant who could kill her with just a hand gesture.
Obviously, she was afraid of facing him now, but her doubts about what happened last night did not go away.

But she was more reluctant to avoid it.

“You’ve been following me on purpose, right?”

Flinch.

As his broad shoulders moved sharply, Annie’s eyes deepened.

“…”

The faintly shaking red eyes expressed affirmation.
As she looked at him, Annie moved her cold hand.

Place.

Annie puts a pack of cloth on the table, she said.

“You wrote well.
I’ll return this.”

Ejed gently looked over the table.
When he looked at the size, it looked like the coat and other items left behind from the dance hall.

Things he forgot because he only cared about Annie.

“And I’ll help.”

‘You’ll help me?’

In Ejed’s gaze, he saw Annie smiling.

“So that Your Majesty may capture the heart of your beloved Lady.”
