Come Here, Tyrant!

jed didn’t even answer.

Only new information flashed in his mind.

‘Everyone likes gardens.’

After all, blood cannot be deceived.
Annie and her family all love flowers.

Ejed watched closely while moving with Annie.
Honestly, there were long weeds here and there, and the untidy greenery was bothering the eyes.

“Lord Jade?”

“Oh, yes.
I’m coming!”

Jade, who was looking around intently, moved his steps quickly.

***

‘Ha.
You’re not coming again today?’

Robbie, who was guarding the empty emperor’s bed, burst into a peal of despondent laughter.
He opened the wine cellar in the corner of the wall and took out the most potent drink.

“It’s no use raising children.”

Clack.

“Damn you.
Gulp, gulp.”

Robbie, drinking from the bottle, wiped the tears with his sleeve.

It’s been over a week since Ejed disappeared.
He tried to send a letter, but he didn’t get any news.

It was hard to believe that he was such a sincere and cute guy.

“If you go crazy with a woman, there’s no friendship, and there’s no filial piety… Yeah… This time I think you’re dead, and I’ll just stay still.
I’ll take a good rest.”

The drunken Robbie murmured in a gloomy tone.

“But it’s not okay.
You rascal.
Don’t you know why adults keep kids from touching fire? Huh?”

As an adult, there were things you needed to prevent.

A role that should never stop, even if dirt gets into your eyes.

“Well, I can’t help it even if you guys insult me.
I used to be a villain.”

After emptying all the bottles, Robbie laughed bitterly.

***

“Congratulations.
So now the Lady is hanging out again.”

“Yes.
She said she’d take me to the sheep ranch with my kids too.”

“What? She’s a good person anyway.”

The lively chatter that wakes him up in the morning is unfamiliar.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ejed slowly got up.
He was filled with consideration in the cozy room that was much smaller than the Imperial bed.
Ejed, who took a sip of water from a child’s cup on the low desk together with folded clothes, and a glass water bottle, blinked his sleepy eyes.

Meanwhile, the conversation did not stop.

“Isn’t this the room where the noble master is staying?”

“Shhh.
Be quiet.
What if he wakes up?”

Unlike the Imperial Palace, the room, which was not even soundproofed, could hear all conversations.

Ejed lowered his presence for their surprise.

He sat on the bed and clenched his fists in his little hands.
It felt awkward as if it wasn’t his body, as the rugged texture of the calluses disappeared.

‘…’

However, it is unclear whether or not he will remain in this state.
