Come Here, Tyrant! - Chapter 41

Ejed didn’t understand; the dog chew was so good, so why didn’t the golden retriever want it? While choosing dog chew for Annie’s dog, Lang, he directly asked for the best dog chew.

Ejed, whose self-esteem was subtly wounded, moved himself to a pile of dog chew. Then, holding a dog chew in his hand, he called for the dog.

“Come on, take it!”

In his experience, dogs loved this kind of play. Now he gently passed the dog chew, just in case the dog might get hurt.

Tuk.

But the dog only glanced at Ejed and remained unmoved, treating the human and the dog chew as if they were bothersome.

There was also a little bit of sadness in those eyes.

After being repeatedly disregarded by the dog, the corners of Ejed’s eyes drooped as he stared at the unattended dog chew on the floor.

He was more worried than offended.

‘Is it because of the shock from being abandoned by its owner…’

Ejed, who carefully approached the golden retriever, sat down and asked carefully.

“I… can I pet you?”

“Sniff. (Of course)”

When the dog snorted roughly, Ejed stretched his hand and petted the dog.

The cream-colored fur that rubbed against his fingers was silky smooth like that of a dog raised by a noble family.

‘Haah… If you grow up pampered and come to a place like this, it would be harder to endure it…’

At that time, some stones came flying and knocked on the other side of the window.

‘Who is playing around?’

Ejed, who frowned for a moment, turned his attention back to the dog.

It wasn’t the kids’ jokes that mattered now. A large dog that had such a glossy coat and a very deep gaze must have a story.

Just like Annie did to him, he wanted to cheer the dog up.

Ejed asked in a very friendly voice.

“This is really delicious. Would you like to try it, just once?”

“…”

“Huh?”

“Gong.”

Nope?

The dog, who turned its head away, didn’t even pretend to listen. Ejed put down the dog chew.

Yes, whether it was human or dog, if you force them to do something they hate, was it not violence? No matter how much he is stigmatized as a tyrant, he couldn’t really emulate that stigma.

Ejed, who gave up, sat next to the dog. He had to be more cautious about what he asked someone who had closed their heart.

‘When Annie gives advice to the noble ladies…’

[That man is no good. It’s better if you broke up. It will only get worse to be involved with such a guy for a second longer.]

It seemed to be a great comfort to swear together.

He struggled over and over again, trying to think of a way to comfort the dog. Eventually, he carefully parted his lips.

“It’ll all work out well in the end. They’ll definitely be punished by Heaven. Your masters, I mean.”

“…”

“Abandoning a nice guy like you, I’ll… I’ll  curse them for you instead. Three generations, ruined, and none of them can get married…”

“Excuse me.”

At that moment, Ejed bit his mouth.

Was it a hallucination?

He thought he heard Annie’s voice for some reason.

‘Me too.’

A bloody smirk came out. He often saw hallucinations of Annie, but this was his first time hearing hallucinations.

Well, if possible, he wanted to experience both visual and auditory hallucinations of Annie simultaneously. If such a thing could happen, his day would be really happy.

Ejed talked a lot as if comforting the golden retriever. It was an action that would never be possible if the other person was a human being.

“My father, who has passed, said that every man would bear a lot of things, but they still have to live patiently. So it’s hard to forget that you have been abandoned.”

But from behind his back, someone squeezed their neck and spoke.

“Excuse me. I didn’t abandon my dog.”

As he turned his head, he saw a short-haired brown woman dressed in a light shirt and pants.

‘… Ack?’

Ejed opened his mouth in the mask without knowing it.

There is only one woman on the continent that looks like an angel’s

even with dog hair on her clothes.

“…”

When Ejed froze, she spat out.

“And my dog is a female.”
