I Won’t Pick Up The Trash I Threw Away Again

at you joined the diplomatic mission as the emperor’s agent.”

 

Ah, right.
I was the Emperor’s agent.

 

It wasn’t the time to be bewildered and lost.
Suddenly, I felt a heavy weight on my shoulders.

 

I nodded, clearing my mind.

 

“I will keep that in mind.”

 

“And there’s no need to be so nervous.”

 

Kalian smiled and tapped my shoulder.

 

“Because I believe you’ll do well.”

 

He must have been trying to relieve my tension, but unfortunately, I was more nervous.

 

If I showed him that, I was sure Kalian would tell me not to feel pressured again, so I tried to smile and nodded.

 

“Yes.”

 

“Then, go.”

 

“Before that, I want to ask you one thing.”

 

“What is it?”

“Will this work even without me?”

 

Kalian looked at me puzzledly at my words.

 

“Do you want this child care institution project to proceed while you’re away? Then, it might not be recognized as your work.”

 

“I know.”

 

Usually, when a project started, the first person in charge took the credit for it.

 

So, if the project went out while I’m away, there’s a high possibility that my contribution wouldn’t be recognized no matter how hard I prepared it. 

 

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sad at all, but I didn’t mean to be greedy.

 

Because I didn’t want the children to suffer more because of my greed. 

 

I just wanted this child care institution project to be completed as soon as possible so that the poor children could be saved as soon as possible. 

 

“So, I would appreciate it if you could proceed.”

The large-scale diplomatic mission led by Leila left the Imperial Palace.

 

Kalian, who returned to the inner palace after seeing them off personally, suddenly stopped.

 

“Hiltine.”

 

At his call, Hiltine quietly appeared from the darkness.

 

“Follow Leila.”

 

Kalian ordered with his back to him.

 

“Don’t reveal yourself.
Just protect her quietly.”

 

Ver, who came to see Kalian, waited for a while as Kalian and Hiltine were talking.

 

“In this mission, she is me.
So, whoever tries to harm her, whether they are a noble or a royal family, dispose of them on the spot.”

 

“I understand.” 

 

After Hiltine said that, he disappeared into the darkness again.  

 

Immediately after that, Ver approached Kalian from behind and said.

 

“I can’t believe you’re sending Sir Hiltine.
You must be very worried about Sir Thebesa.”

 

Only then did Kalian notice Ver was there.
He glanced sideways at him and started walking again.

 

Ver followed after him and said.

 

“If you’re that worried, there would have been a way to not send her.”

 

“It’s her decision.”

 

“Your Majesty must have encouraged her to go.”

 

If only Kalian had told her not to go.

 

No, she wouldn’t have joined the diplomatic mission if he had rejected Duke Giltian’s proposal at the meeting.

 

“But you didn’t, because you want Sir Thebesa to become a baron as soon as possible, right?”

 

“Why do you ask when you already know it?”

 

Kalian responded bluntly and entered the office.

Ver, who had followed him, put the documents he was holding on the desk.

 

“This is the end of today’s report.
If you don’t have anything else to ask me to do, I’ll get going.”

 

The work on the war heroes was finished, and the diplomatic delegation also left.

 

Although the issue of the bereaved family was still there, it had been transferred to the relevant department and there’s nothing he could do right now.

 

So, I’m going to go home and sleep well today.
I’ll also take a bath in hot water.

 

“Ver.
Proceed this right now.”

 

However, Ver’s simple dream was shattered when Kalian handed out a document.

 

Ver protested while staring at Kalian with a face with dark circles down to his chin.

 

“Your Majesty, I haven’t gone home and have worked all night for these two days.”

 

“So, you’re saying you can’t do it?”

 

I thought he’d give me a little bit of mercy if I said this.
There’s no change in him.

 

Even the devil would be nicer than this man.

 

Ver sighed deeply inside and scanned the document. 

 

It was a proposal about the child care institution.

 

“Huh? I know this is a project that Sir Thebesa decided to carry out.”

 

“Starting today, you carry it out.”

 

Ver made a weird face at the unexpected words.

 

“Then, Sir Thebesa’s efforts may not be recognized.”

 

“I know.”

 

“And you still want me to carry it out?”

 

“Yeah.
That’s what Leila wanted.”

 

Ver was surprised by Kalian’s answer and checked the report.
He could tell from the first page how hard Leila had worked.

 

Is it okay if I carry it out?  

 

“Did Sir Thebesa really want it? Why?”

 

Ver couldn’t believe him, so he asked again.

 

“She said she didn’t want the children to suffer because of the work being delayed because of her.” 

 

Kalian told him exactly what he heard from Leila.

 

“That’s why push ahead with it right away.”

 

To be honest, after checking the document, he was thinking of going to be a little stubborn asking whether it could be done next time, but after hearing that, he couldn’t.

 

Ah, I don’t know.
I’ll sleep a lot after I die anyway. 

 

Ver sighed inwardly and replied.

 

“I understand.”  

 

“You can leave now.”

 

Ver, who was about to leave directly after getting kicked out, suddenly remembered something and looked back at Kalian.

 

“Come to think of it, Your Majesty, it’s been a long time since you have been to the detached palace, right?”
