Episode 168 Now is the real beginning

Only after a long time had passed did Flora let me go.

“Have I conveyed my feelings sufficiently?”

“Yes. Very dark. “Flora seems to be filled with the scent of her daughter.”

I answered that question to her with a smile in my eyes.

“Oh my goodness. Rather, it’s good, isn’t it?”

Flooded with her own scent, Flora’s flushed face revealed her joy.

“In that sense, can I bury you some more?”

“I decline for now.”

Flora snorted, raising her hand in refusal.

In reality, I wasn’t upset at all.

She smiled lightly, and Flora immediately laughed as well.

“I’ll just head back.”

“Mr. Luke. Thank you so much again. And please tell Miss Emma too. “I really like the corolla.”

“Please tell Emma that tomorrow. “I will be very happy.”

Flora shook her head in understanding. The wind almost caused the flower crown on her head to fall, but she used her wits to catch it.

“Whew. “I almost got into big trouble.”

“It’s difficult to make something like this again, so please be careful.”

“Yes…”

Flora responded, holding her wreath in her hand.

“I look forward to the gift you give me.”

“Great. Please look forward to it!”

We waved at each other.

When I returned to the room, I glanced at the grandfather clock. It was soon time for dinner.

I guess I should go see Mulia after I finish dinner.

* * *

After finishing dinner, Cecilia was the first to go up to the room.

I looked blankly at her back and then turned her head in another direction. Mulia reached the end of my gaze.

As if she also felt her gaze, she directed her gaze in this direction.

… I happened to make eye contact.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to the room together now.’

Thinking like that, I got up and approached Mulia. She didn’t take her eyes off me for a moment until I stopped right in front of her.

“Lady Mulia.”

“Yes, Mr. Luke.”

“I heard it from Ilya earlier. “You were looking for me.”

Immediately after saying the matter out loud, Flora, who was nearby, intervened.

“Oh my, Mulia, what are you doing?”

“…”

But Mulia didn’t even look at Flora’s words her her, let alone react to them.

Her amethyst-like eyes were focused only on me. That gaze was serious and upright at the same time.

‘It looks like you’re about to have a very important conversation?’

“Mr. Luke. Would you like to go right now?”

“Of course.”

Only then did Mulia stand up from her chair.

“Mulia. Cheer up!”

Flora said to her. Her attitude was that she didn’t really care if Mulia didn’t respond.

Still, this time, Mulia turned around, probably because she was cheering.

“Thank you for your support.”

Then Mulia asked me to follow her and she started walking ahead. I followed her slow steps.

Eventually, she reached Mulia’s room.

She let me in first.

“Mr. Luke. Would you like to sit at the table over there?”

There was a square table in the room where Mulia was staying.

I sat down in the seat she recommended. Mulia sat down directly across from her and stared at me.

“…”

“Lady?”

Even though I waited, no one said anything, so I spoke up first.

“Do you need anything to drink?”

“Yes. “It would be nice to have it.”

When asked about her intentions, Mulia immediately nodded her head once.

I stood up from the chair and pulled the rope next to the bed. For reference, we installed strings like this in all the guest rooms in our mansion.

It would probably have been done similarly even if you went to other places.

After waiting for a while, the maid came here. I instructed her to prepare her jasmine tea for her.

“Lady Mulia. How about the Nedville Estate?”

After she sat down in her seat again, I looked at her and asked her a question.

Come to think of it, I haven’t spent any time alone with Mulia since she is returning to her hometown.

Well, in a way, it’s natural.

It was also the case that Il Reina’s identity was discovered by her father and her maids.

I also found out that Cecilia and I were actually cousins.

Looking back, big things happened in just a few days.

In those events, Mulia was completely absent as a third party.

The reason she asks to talk like this first is that she is very disappointed.

“I really like it because it’s quiet and peaceful.”

“It seems you like it.”

Mulia nodded her head gently and smiled softly.

“It was also nice to see many landscapes that are difficult to see in Deleson. Mr. Luke is really… I also thought that you were born in a good place.”

“I can’t believe you viewed it so favorably…”

Actually, I fell into the world of the novel halfway through.

Still, having lived here for nearly 10 years, I felt quite attached to it.

Does anyone look favorably on such a place?

Of course, the shoulders have no choice but to rise, right?

While they continued their conversation, her maid prepared her jasmine tea. Mulia and I lifted our teacups at the same time.

After savoring the subtle scent of jasmine tea for a moment, I put down the teacup again.

“Mr. Luke.”

It was Mulia who made her fortune first.

I brought my upper body closer to the table. It was a kind of preparation to listen to her story

“Actually… There was something that kept bothering me all this time.”

I felt her watching me.

“What is it? You can talk comfortably.”

“I wonder what happened with Her Majesty Cecilia and Flora recently… ” … Will it work?”

Her voice gradually became quieter. It was obvious that she was worried that she might have asked a question that was too rude.

In fact, she did ask a rude question in some ways.

Because she really had a hard time answering that question.

‘It’s natural to be worried because you’ve always seen things like that around you, but…’

“…”

While I kept her silent with my arms crossed, Mulia sipped her jasmine tea and waited for my answer.

After thinking about it in my head, I decided not to tell.

First of all, the secret between me and Cecilia is something that not even my family knows.

Flora found out from me with some force, but revealing this to Mulia would only increase the risk.

No matter how heavy her mouth is,

There is no need to further increase risk factors.

“Mr. Luke…”

Only then did Mulia send me a signal with her eyes urging me to answer. I cleared my throat and then opened my mouth.

“Young lady. “I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you this.”

“Ah… I see.”

She answered in a low tone and lowered her gaze.

An attitude that seems disappointing to anyone.

However, I had no intention of reversing the decision once I had made it. Instead, I decided to explain her situation so that she wouldn’t be too upset.

“It’s true that something happened. And that was something that shocked me in many ways.”

“…”

Mulia raised her head again and met her gaze.

“However, I want to keep this a secret until the end if possible. Even if we are colleagues who always work together face to face.”

“I see…”

“Yes. So I can’t say anything more to Mulia and her daughter.”

Mulia closed her eyes tightly and let out a sigh.

“If that’s what Mr. Luke means, then I understand… “I’m sorry for asking such a rude question.”

She bowed her head towards me once, and I thanked her for understanding.

“Do you have any other questions?”

“No. This is enough. Thank you, Mr. Luke.”

“I am truly grateful.”

I poured the remaining jasmine tea into my mouth and stood up. Mulia saw me off to the door.

“Have a peaceful night, Lady Mulia.”

“Have a good night too, Luke.”

Only after exchanging good night did I leave her room

* * *

“Ha…”

Mulia looked at the tightly closed door and let out a short sigh.

I was able to muster up the courage to have a conversation with Luke alone in my room. But that was it.

Luke did not tell him about important events.

Because her eyes were so determined, Mulia could not ask for more information.

‘I didn’t have the courage to do that in the first place…’

She walked over to the table again and sat down.

Just a moment ago, she and Luke were sitting across from each other, but it felt like a long time had passed.

The moment we faced each other was too short, and the waiting time was too long.

The thought that this was truly unfair crossed her mind. But Mulia soon shook her head slowly.

‘You just have to be brave one more time.’

Still, when she gathered her courage, it wasn’t as bad as she thought.

The fact that Luke willingly accepted Mulia’s request helped her gain even more courage.

At this point she was sure.

If you continue to have courage like this, you will definitely get used to it.

We are already far behind Cecilia and Flora. But if you run from now on, you will be able to catch up with the two.

“Okay… “Now is the real beginning.”

Mulia muttered in a clear tone to comfort herself.
