Chapter 29
Today, Jed’s blond hair was radiant.
Every time I looked at him, I thought it looked like strands of gold. I could just imagine pulling it out and turning it into a gold bar.
Jed, being the male lead, had dazzling blond hair and beautiful sapphire-colored eyes that seemed to steal one’s heart… but what didn’t attract me to him was the fact that he was the culprit who often exhausted me.
Although he worked hard, as soon as the female lead appeared, he abandoned everything and left. Ugh, it was so annoying.
Was being the lead everything? How could he do that?
Still, I was glad I possessed Hazel when they already met. If I had possessed her earlier, it would have been more troublesome.
In the meanwhile, despite my inner frustrations, I put on a smile of capitalism and approached him, extending a white envelope.
Good, this was going smoothly.
“What’s this, Dame Love?”
While Jed was busy playing with his pen again, I pushed the envelope a little closer, making sure it caught his eye. Then, as smoothly as water flowing, I added.
“I resign. I will quit the Knight Order.”
Upon hearing that, he gladly accepted it and nodded.
“I see, a resignation letter. So Dame Love is quitting. Is there anything else you need?”
“I don’t need anything else. Thank you for granting my request…”
“Wait a minute! What did you just say, Dame Love?”
Jed, who once again spun his pen and flipped through documents, quickly jerked his body as if the chair was about to collapse.
Ah, what a surprise.
Startled, I took a step back and repeated.
“…I resign. As soon as the handover is complete, I will pack up my belongings and leave the dorm. I sincerely appreciate everything so far.”
I bowed deeply, almost touching my waist, before turning around abruptly.
Okay. If I run away like this, it’ll be over… finished!
“Stay right there, Dame Love.”
Planning to leave the office and become free, I twisted my lips. Once again, wearing a smile of capitalism, I turned my head.
“Yes, Your Highness. Do you have anything else to say?”
“I must have mistaken your words as I’m busy. Quit talking nonsense about resigning and go back. I’ll burn the resignation letter myself.”
With that, he casually tore apart the resignation letter I had written with both hands. Not only that, he used magic to turn it all into blue flames and burn it to ashes.
“Ah! Your Highness! Why… did you burn my resignation letter…?”
…He burned it?
I couldn’t hide my astonishment as I watched my resignation letter turn into ashes in an instant.
“You’re talking about leaving the Knights Order. What nonsense are you saying? Did something bother you? Speak up, and I’ll listen directly. Was there an issue internally? I should gather everyone.”
I blinked in astonishment and quickly shook my head.
“No, there’s no problem. It’s just that I’ve had enough. Everyone has been doing well! There are no issues with my comrades. Apart from that, I will quit the Knights Order.”
“Not allowed.”
“But I want to quit…”
“You keep saying unnecessary things.”
Jed stood there and started poking his ear with his finger. On the other hand, Dylan next to him was cheering, holding his fists up high, saying, ‘Your Highness, good luck!’
It was exasperating.
“Why can’t I quit?”
Not only did I follow the protocol and even write a resignation letter, but I have completed the handover… I just need to leave!
“You’re an indispensable figure in our Knights Order. Do you need any other explanation? If there’s a problem, we should solve it. Running away like this won’t solve anything, haven’t you learned that?”
‘…No, my life will be solved as long as I avoid you guys. Running away is the only way for me to survive!’
I held back and raised the corners of my mouth, smiling.
“Even without me, there are plenty of knights who can fight. It’s a relatively quiet period, so isn’t there no problem? Besides, I want to quit my position in the Knights Order. So, please approve it. Please!”
I showed my teeth and smiled brightly.
“It’s not allowed. If you really want to quit, then find someone like you to replace you and then leave.”
“Does that make sense?”
I shouted, abandoning all courtesy.
“Does it make sense for you to quit?”
“Of course! I don’t need honor or anything anymore.”
“So, in order for me to consider and acknowledge why there has been such a change in your mind, bring me documented evidence, filling up at least ten pages. Then, I’ll think about it.”
Despite the fact that I didn’t think it would be easy to quit, I never expected to have this kind of confrontation.
“Actually, I have too much work. It’s not just a few overtime shifts, expeditions included.”
“Why are you talking about overtime?”
“It’s really difficult, that’s why I want to quit.”
Dylan Banker looked astonished from the side.
What was there to be afraid of in quitting? When I poured out everything, Jed had a shocked expression and then let out a deep sigh.
“…I didn’t realize it was so hard for you. I only entrusted you with the work because you were the fastest and most thorough. If it was difficult, you should have adjusted.”
“No, I want to quit. So, please approve…”
“Stop saying things that don’t make sense. Do you need a break? Then, take a vacation. Will a week be enough? A month?”
No, why was he like this?
When they exploited me with work, they never gave me a break so why now? It was clear that Jed would still give me a lot of work in the future. I saw it in chapter ten or eleven of the original!
“I’m sorry. I’m too tired, and there are still unfinished tasks.”
“You haven’t finished your tasks yet? It must be because you’re lacking stamina. Wake up an hour earlier every day and do some exercise.”
“It’s not that. There’s just too much work to do…”
“Dame, you’re exaggerating too much.”
“Your Highness, Lady Dayworth is here.”
“Oh, Lady Dayworth is here? I’ll leave right away, then. Please take care of the remaining tasks.”
He responded as he entrusted me with more work and went to meet the female lead. I knew all too well the distressing expression on my face.
See this?
Hmph! Even now, if Lily Dayworth were to come looking for him, he would immediately drop what he was doing and run out. It was obvious even without looking.
“Then, I’ll prepare the documents.”
“What?”
“You told me to document in detail why I have to resign. I’ll do it.”
I greeted them and turned around, walking outside. Even though I heard Jed and Dylan calling out to me from behind, I pretended not to hear.
A few days later, I meticulously wrote down convincing evidence and explanations, filling dozens of pages, and handed them to Jed, neatly organized in a file.
“What is this…?”
He muttered, taken aback. Attached neatly at the top of the file was a rewritten resignation letter.
“I will quit.”
“Are you still not considering changing your mind? If you take a vacation to clear your head…”
“No, I will quit.”
I repeated the same words like a parrot, looking at the distant mountains.
However, it was futile.
No matter what I did, Jed turned a deaf ear and rejected, no, refused my requests. In the end, I staged protests like not showing up to work though it was in vain.
I was saddened by not being able to become a troublemaker, and my conscience pricked me every time because it was an impossible role for me. So, while living as a knight, I diligently participated in subjugations and submitted resignation letters every day during training.
And so, a week passed, then a month, and time continued to flow.
Well, Jed allowed me to leave work early to keep me in the knight order… but my ultimate goal was to leave the side of the leads after retirement and live a free and comfortable life.
Exhausted by Jed, who was like a wall, I changed tactics and convinced Dylan.
It was almost begging rather than persuasion.
“Please help me. I’m begging you.”
After pleading and pleading, Dylan agreed to help, and after several more persuasions, Jed finally surrendered.
“…Fine, I understand. However, if you resign from the knight position and leave, even if you want to come back, you’ll have to take the exam. And if you do come back, you’ll have to start from the beginning. Do you understand that?”
“Yes, I understand.”
No more exams to take, no more returning. Just farewell.
“You might have to face the newly graduated rookies. Will you regret it?”
“No.”
Absolutely not. Never!

I will never understand bosses who “warn” you about coming back to work for them. I’ve seen people do this is real life. And during relationship breakups.
I’m quitting because I Don’t Want To Work Here. How is it a threat to tell me it’s going to be EVEN WORSE if I were silly enough to come back?
