I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With

171 – Episode 171 You’re My Person…

Episode 171: You are my person…

The imperial carriage we rode in arrived in Deleson only after 15 days.

“Finally, we arrived at our house.”

Cecilia spoke in a low tone and cast her gaze out the window.

“I know, right. “The smell of the air has completely changed.”

Flora sniffed. For reference, the carriage’s windows were tightly closed, so no outside air came in.

“Oh, I didn’t open the window.”

Only then did she realize this and clapped her hands lightly. Mulia, who was sitting across from her, just looked at her in bewilderment.

“Mr. Luke. “You should have told me in advance.”

Flora turned her head towards me who was sitting next to me.

“Of course I thought you knew.”

“Whew. Mr. Luke, I think you’ve become very cold these days.”

I responded by shrugging her shoulders, and Flora made a sad expression. She mumbled that she needed some comfort and took out the wreath she had placed in her basket.

“Is it that corolla again…” “?” …”

“Every time I see you, you’re so pretty. “Don’t you think so, Your Majesty?”

Even when Cecilia slightly furrowed her eyebrows, Flora smiled.

Really, if it weren’t for Cecilia’s childhood friend, she would have been in big trouble a long time ago…

Perhaps because Cecilia had already gotten used to Flora, she just shook her head. Mulia, who was sitting next to her, rested her forehead and let out a quiet sigh.

Flora hummed her song and placed her wreath on her head.

“Anyway, the power of magic is really amazing.”

“Hehe. It’s worth the money spent.”

Flora said in a very proud tone.

On the way to Delezón, we mainly stayed at inns in large villages. Each time, Flora begged Cecilia to take a moment to find her magician.

Because I want to keep the wreath I gave as a gift in its original form as much as possible.

About a week after leaving the Nedeville territory, Flora was able to find the wizard she wanted.

She gave the wizard her large sum of money and asked him to cast a spell that would permanently preserve it in its original form.

As a result, even after 15 days had passed, the wreath was still in the same condition as when it was first made.

‘Besides that, many other things happened on the way here.’

Suddenly, one of the escort knights suffered a stomachache and was temporarily knocked out.

While Cecilia was staying at an inn, the hem of her dress got caught somewhere and she tore it, so she had to get it repaired.

Flora joined us late, so her departure was delayed…

I leaned my head against the window frame and looked at the scenery outside.

Then, suddenly, a memory of the time when the hem of Cecilia’s dress was torn came to mind. Then she looked at the hem of her dress and said this.

-It seems like something is not a good sign…

In my eyes, it seems like nothing more than a random accident.

Fortunately, unlike Cecilia’s unlucky weather, we arrived safely in Deleson without any trouble. From here, we had to travel another 40 minutes to the imperial palace.

Cecilia leaned her head against the wall of her carriage and closed her eyes. Mulia also seemed to be falling asleep, covering her mouth and yawning softly.

Well, I was exhausted in many ways because I kept moving and staying overnight for 15 days.

I was also in a bit of a daze.

“Mr. Luke.”

I turned my head towards Flora.

“If you’re feeling sleepy, you can use my shoulder.”

“Then I will write it gratefully…”

There’s no way I would miss this golden opportunity to use Flora’s shoulders to my heart’s content.

I quickly leaned my face against her shoulder. She was definitely delicate and soft, probably because she had a woman’s shoulders.

But I thought it was enough to support my face

‘It seems like it smells good somehow…’

“I’ll wake you up as soon as I arrive.”

“Yes. Thank you, Lady Flora…”

As I heard Flora’s light laughter, I slowly lowered her eyelids.

How much time has passed like that?

“Mr. Luke. “I arrived.”

The moment I heard Flora’s voice her, I immediately straightened my posture.

Looking out the window, I saw a very familiar scenery of the imperial palace unfolding.

“Flora’s shoulders must have felt comfortable.”

Cecilia was laughing as if it was fun, and Mulia had a subtle expression.

Well, this is not the time to be like this.

“I will escort you, Your Majesty.”

I quickly jumped out of the carriage. Then, he held out his hand so that Cecilia and her maids could get off safely.

While the women were all unloading and adjusting their appearance, Ilaina came up to me.

“Secretary.”

“You had a hard time too.”

“Yes. “I will accompany you to your room.”

What he meant was that he would go to his room and throw away the pseudonym Ilya.

“Everyone gather in front of me.”

As soon as Cecilia’s instructions were given, not only we but also the escort knights gathered. Cecilia ordered the guard knights to first return to the barracks and rest.

“I am very grateful, Your Majesty!”

They saluted and then returned to the barracks.

“Flora, Mulia. “You too, get some rest today.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Yes.”

… What about me?

Cecilia looked at me as I stood blankly.

“Luke. “You should come to my room in 30 minutes.”

Why…

‘No way, they only ask me to do the work or something like that… ‘ … ‘I guess not?’

But how could you refuse an order from your immediate superior?

If I have to peel it, I have to peel it…

“Yes, Your Majesty…”

We entered the imperial palace together.

Cecilia went to her room first, followed by Mulia and Flora, who went to their respective rooms in that order.

I finally arrived at my room.

I walked inside feeling like I was home. Ileina, who followed behind, was in charge of locking down the door.

I jumped straight onto the bed. I felt like I wanted to lie down for a bath or something.

“Ilaina. Wake me up later.”

“Yes.”

Still, I was happy to be able to lie down in bed for a while.

* * *

I drank the cold water Ilayna brought me and then headed to Cecilia’s room.

Perhaps because of the cold feeling inside, my mind became quite clear.

-Knock knock.

As soon as I knocked, Cecilia’s voice came from inside, saying it was okay to come in.

I carefully opened the door and went inside.

Cecilia greeted me while sitting on the bed. She was wearing a very comfortable-looking pajama dress, probably planning to go to bed right after meeting me.

“You look a bit dissatisfied.”

“No, Your Majesty. How could I…”

Cecilia only smiled meaningfully.

Next time, I’ll have to pay more attention to managing my facial expressions.

“Still, I think that if you listen to my story, your dissatisfaction will be resolved.”

Cecilia speaks in a more relaxed voice.

What on earth are you trying to say by laying the groundwork like this?

“What are you trying to talk about?”

Cecilia got up from the bed with a smile on her lips. Eventually, she approached me with slow steps.

“Your Majesty?”

Cecilia stopped, just one step away from me.

She lifted her chin slightly and looked up at me.

“Originally, it is right to let them rest comfortably during the vacation period… “I was a bit greedy.”

“No. I was also happy because His Majesty came.”

To be honest, it is true that I was not able to relax comfortably.

But on the other hand, it was a meaningful time for me in many ways, such as introducing her to Emma and learning about the relationship between me and Cecilia.

It was fun to introduce various places in the Nedville estate to Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia.

“If you truly think that way, I would be grateful.”

“Yes. I am sincere.”

Cecilia nodded her head once with a satisfied expression.

“Do you remember? “I will definitely reward you for your hard work for me and her maids during the holidays.”

“Yes. “I remember it clearly.”

From this point on, I was filled with anticipation.

What kind of reward are you trying to give?

Gold would be better if possible…

However, a subordinate cannot make a personal request for a reward given by a superior.

I waited for her to speak, secretly praying that the reward would be gold. Cecilia paused for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“How about 500 gold?”

“… Yes?”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

My salary is 200 gold at most?

“Do you not like it?”

“Well, that can’t be possible, right? I will be grateful!”

I bowed down to Cecilia several times.

But at the same time, the question arose: is this right? I wondered if I could accept such a large amount of money as compensation for guiding me to the territory for only 15 days.

“It looks like there are still some unclear corners left.”

And Cecilia was keenly aware of my intentions

“Actually, yes…”

“Do you want to hear the reason?”

I answered yes.

Cecilia relaxed her shoulders with a short sigh.

“Because you are mine.”

“…”

Cecilia told me the reason only once, in a very clear tone.

It was truly a personal reason.

In a way, it was truly surprising.

From what I understood, Cecilia was a person who thoroughly distinguished between public and private affairs.

“Relatives are also a reason. But she has a bigger reason why she wants to keep you as her person for a long time. “I already have a lot of my deposit accumulated, so I should use it in times like this.”

What should I do?

I have decided to resign soon.

But right now, we should focus on getting 500 gold.

Normally, everyone’s eyes turn when they see a lot of money.

“I am so sad and at a loss, Your Majesty.”

“And, I plan to borrow a lot of your strength in this foundation ceremony.”

“Yes. “I will be happy to assist Your Majesty.”

Cecilia announced that her reward would be handed out sometime next Monday. With that, I came out of her room

My person…

I never thought I would hear such words from Cecilia’s mouth

Perhaps, if he had failed to manage his facial expressions, he might have expressed his embarrassment.

… Or, it was already discovered, but Cecilia pretended not to notice and moved on.

‘Okay. I have to do my best while I’m here.’

That way, there will be no regrets when you write your resignation.

I hurried my steps towards the room.
