When Brigitta first mentioned about this meeting, Eva actually wondered about that the most.

Because Brigita did know that Eva wrote novels but didn't know exactly what she wrote.

Eva went to outside events representing the publishing company sometimes, but Eva generally rejected requests for personal interviews.

So, despite her using her real name for her pen name, no one knew what she looked like.

But he recognized her instantly.

"Uh, um. It's... Ahem. I just did some research."

"What?"

Wariness shone back on Eva's face.

She thought of the few types of those ill-natured fans.

"M, me? Uh, what was it, background check....."

"N, no! Never! No!"

Karlos freaked out and waved her arms.

Oh, great Lesa!

The Emperor could swear on his ancestors that he never tried to investigate her.

The Chancellor offered to sometimes but he declined it all the time. It was because he thought the author wouldn't like it if she found out someone who she doesn't even know did background checks on her.

The cold look the Chancellor gave her when the Emperor blocked his ears to ignore the Chancellor still kinda stung.

"N, no. Anyway, No, I didn't. I, well, Bri wore the scarf to the palace."

"A Scarf?"

She tilted her head and brought her eyebrows together.

Scarf. Scarf?

"Uh....... uh, it looked like the one I knitted........So maybe."

Karlos still believed he gave poop-quality to his favorite author so it was a little embarrassing for him to say.

He turned away.

When he first gave it to her, he was quite proud of it but as time went he grew embarrassed of his silly-looking scarf.

And the author he saw in real life today was so small and lovely.

He could then see immediately that an unnecessarily large and thick scarf was not the right gift for her.

"Oh my."

Eva's eyes suddenly widened.

Karlos forgot about his embarrassment and stared at her face admirably.

'How could her eyes get even bigger? Is it going to roll out? Do I have to pick it up for her then?'

"Are you.....E?"

Eva's small lips parted slowly.

She clapped once and sprang up from her seat.

Karlos dug into his seat even deeper from the sudden change of her behavior.

If Brigitta was here, she would have thought the situation reversed from earlier.

"Oh my, E! You are E! Gosh, I figured you would be a man from the handwriting and your way of speaking. Oh gosh! You are E, right? Oh my gosh!"

Eva excitedly grabbed Karlos's one hand with her two hands and shaked it cheerfully.

She was usually a timid person but she was the type to have a sudden sense of closeness when someone had a shared interest with her and became talkative.
