Emma clenched her hands with a heart that felt annoyed for Egbert. How dare the man consider him like a stranger and tell the human servant to drive him out of there. He who felt that he did not accept it continued to walk to where Egbert was sitting.
Annette was just about to make a move to get the woman out. But who would have expected that woman to go to Egbert instead?
'Ah, what a hassle!'
"Dear I missed you"
"..." - ".Egbert's body froze to find Emma who had come to hug him from behind.
"Why are you acting like you don't know me hum?"
"..." - ".The two slender hands came over his neck, instantly making his throat choked.
"You know? Your attitude like this hurts me"
Knock the woman. His powerful voice fell right on the threshold of Egbert's ear. He can feel the warm breath that continues to make his rome feather up— make it supported in the fear of the past.
The shadows of her sleeping self in the room and the movement of a woman who had climbed onto the bed just like that came flashing. It was spinning and playing in his mind.
His eyes were still closed, even though he was in a semi-conscious state. But he could be sure the clattering of footsteps that walked so boldly into his room was none other than his lover. That night he chose to be ignorant and thought to let his lover come to lie down with him.
But the unexpected happened. The woman's long thin fingers, slowly coming to infiltrate her neck. Then the two delicate hands clasped his neck until he felt a pressure that was ready to crush the bones of his throat.
"Yourself.."
Unknowingly, Egbert had brought that past pain into his real world. Makes her reflex to hold the neck, like someone who's just been in a giggle.
"Egbert, what's wrong with you?" Emma leaned over to look at Egbert's face and she found cold sweat dots drenching the man's temples.
Egbert did not answer. He simply raised his hand to pull the woman's hand from coming into contact with the skin of her neck. But he found his hands stiff and hard to move.
"Egbert?" Emma knitted her pair of eyebrows in confusion.
Once again Egbert wanted to move his hand, but it was just trembling and heavy to move.
"Egbert?" Call Emma again. But the man ignored him.
Egbert had already exerted all his energy to move but the power of his subconscious was so great. It locks the movement of the muscles in his body so that he does not freely move.
As a result he shouted loudly, "You—"
Annette, who had been standing still watching, was aghast at her standing position. He was quite surprised to find Egbert's scream that lay for him.
"Sing.kir.kan. wa.ni.ta this!" He said with great emphasis. It looked extremely fiery in his eyes that seemed full of fear and helplessness.
"T-but he—"
"The quickttt!" Strangled Egbert again. Ready to make Annette jerk every once in a while in shock.
"B-good" Nod Annette and keep running to drag the woman out.
"Sorry, it looks like you should go" Annette politely pulled the woman's arm and led her out. Yet...
Instantly Annette's sense of charm towards the woman was gone.
"Deliver!"
"Then get out!" Annette. He had already lost respect for the arrogant woman.
"No want"
"Then I'll call the guards to drag you out" Annette said. It may seem easy on the surface. But serving a wide variety of types of people during his five years at the bar, has led him to learn many things to handle them.
Like that haughty woman. Annette believes the woman has a high self-image and a great sense of prestige. He would definitely strongly reject the situation where he was dragged out by the guards.
"You—" Emma gritted her teeth, staring at Annette as if she wanted to bite the human girl right now.
Lastly he kept thinking logically, sighed and then just left Egbert's room.
It made Annette smile as she watched the woman's back walk away, 'I guessed it! He certainly can't bear it'
Just before Emma walked out the door, she turned to Egbert and said, "I'll come to you next time"
After saying the sentence, he came out and disappeared completely from the room.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to bother you at all. Next time I won't bring anyone into your room" Annette said regretfully.
In fact, he was very surprised by the sight he saw tonight. It was the first time he had seen an indifferent, cold and ruthless Egbert. Suddenly became stiffly trembling in the presence of a woman.
That made Annette wonder..
'Areally who was that woman?'
'What is his relationship with Egbert?'
"I'm sorry then" Annette said later. Looking at Egbert who was not pestering him at all, he only thought of leaving.
Just as he was about to step away, his wrist was instantly pulled by Egbert.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go home"
"Snooze it!"
"Huh?"
"You accompany me home first, and then you come home after"
"What?"
