Annie’s spine was chilled at the hostility-filled eyes.

‘…What’s wrong with him?”

Before she could get an answer, the carriage left.

But Annie’s doubts about him remained heavy.

Carla, who was holding her breath behind her, approached.

“My Lady.
What the hell is this?”

“…I don’t know either.
Rather than that, Carla, tell people to keep quiet about Sir Jade.”

“Of course.
There’s a good excuse.”

Whispering only to her master, Carla approached the family.

Annie, looking in the direction the carriage had disappeared, bit her lip.

“Don’t get me wrong.
You didn’t come soon, so I came to pick you up.”

“…”

“I didn’t mean to cause trouble.
Really.”

Robbie, feeling apologetic, pursued Ejed and made excuses.
Still, Ejed did not respond.

Robbie, who became frustrated, spoke more kindly than usual.

“Here, I prepared an antidote.
If you were there, your identity would be found out anyway.”

After returning to his original form, Ejed visited the office.
And then Robbie followed.

Ejed’s lips, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

“Robbie, I need to talk to you.”

A heavy atmosphere settled in the office.
It’s like bringing up that story again.

As Robbie looked up, Ejed said in a determined tone.

“I really like Miss Annie.”

“Ejed.”

“Listen to me first.”

Ejed had never been so stubborn.
He always watched and listened with meek eyes.

Surprised, Robbie shut his lips, and he continued.

“I used to think that it was only good to deceive people and hide from them.”

“…”

“That made me choose the wrong thing, but now that I’m an adult, I have to do my part according to my position.
How can a monarch who deceives everyone be called the right monarch?”

“Wake up, Jade.
That’s unavoidable…”

“I know what you’re worried about.
But even if I get the wrath of God and do something wrong…”

“Calm down, Ejed.
Your father, the preceding Emperor, also died stubbornly like you!”

“He had no regrets.”

‘Damn, this stubbornness.
Guess they’re father and son.”

Robbie’s face contorted.

[I have no regrets.]

“I truly love her.”

[I genuinely love her.]

Robbie’s face hardened as he recalled the past.
He said in a dry voice.

“I can’t allow it.”

“No.
It doesn’t matter whether you allow it or not.
Annie’s permission is important to me.”

Ejed was speaking in such a firm tone.
What he feared became a reality.

Robbie was on the verge of going crazy.

“I will not deceive Annie or other people anymore with my identity and my heart.”

“Do you think she’ll like you?”

“Robbie.
I haven’t properly confessed to Miss Annie yet.”

“…”

“I’m going to confess at least once, so please don’t interfere.”

Tak.

Robbie was left alone, staring at the half-open door.
