174 – Episode 174 the Late Empress Is Finally Mentioned

Episode 174 The late Empress is finally mentioned

Cecilia asked for understanding from Luke, Flora, and Mulia, then returned to her room.

Olivia Campbell Eckhart, the late Empress and her mother.

Holding the letter she sent tightly in her hand.

Cecilia sat down at her desk only after sending all her maids who had been cleaning her room out her.

“…”

It was news from her mother that she arrived after over a year.

“I hope you are doing well…”

Cecilia let out a soft sigh between her teeth. While doing so, he slowly rubbed the smooth envelope of her letter with his thumb her her her her her.

The envelope of her letter was so soft that you could immediately tell that she had used high-quality paper.

But there was no trace of her imperial family anywhere.

Are you really planning to become an outsider now?

Perhaps if you open this letter, you will get to know a little bit about her mother’s feelings.

“…”

But when I actually opened the letter, my heart started pounding.

Cecilia knew very well how much stress her mother suffered when she served as the representative of her father her her her her her her her her her her her her her.

Although her mother did not show it, her sighs and worried words could be heard from time to time.

Cecilia had already realized a long time ago that it was all stress caused by the conflict with the noble faction.

‘So right after I inherited the throne, he left for the far-off countryside of Keynham…’

She had many good memories from her childhood.

But after her her late emperor and her her her her own father her her her, Holland Campbell Eckhart, lay in her sick bed her her her… She didn’t have very good memories.

Perhaps, she is still tied to that past.

Otherwise, how could she hesitate when faced with the news from her mother that she so desperately wanted to hear?

Cecilia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Only then did she open her envelope with her paper knife.

“…”

The hand that took out her letter she was very careful. Just like handling glasswork.

Finally, she slowly unfolded her half-folded letter.

When she saw her mother’s handwriting again after a year, she let out a soft sigh without realizing it.

[To my beloved daughter, Cecilia]

The moment she read the beginning of her letter, Cecilia stopped in her tracks.

It felt as if her mother was right next to her, calling her name in a friendly voice.

Maybe my worries were a bit excessive.

Only then was Cecilia able to read her letter with a much more relaxed mind.

[It’s already been a year since I left the imperial palace.

In the meantime, I’ve been living here in Keynham’s mansion, rarely going out. The room I’m staying in is on the second floor, and the lighting is really good. There is a low hill nearby, and the scenery with the fog gently rolling down after the rain gave off a very strange feeling.]

‘Keynham was that kind of place.’

Cecilia has never been to where her mother lives.

Her mother only told her where she was right before she left for her care, and she had been so busy ever since she took the throne as empress that she never dared to go look for her. ＞

The reason she didn’t send her letter her her her first her was to avoid interfering with her mother’s recovery her her her as much as possible.

But the more she read, the more she wondered if it had been right to contact her first.

Because it was mentioned that even while her mother was recuperating there, she was worried about her.

[Actually, I was very worried about whether you were doing well as an emperor or whether you were being harassed by the noble faction. But I was afraid of disturbing your mind, so I didn’t contact you until now.]

“…”

The tip of Cecilia’s nose suddenly became cold.

“Ah. It shouldn’t be like this…”

She sniffed and then deliberately tilted her neck towards the ceiling.

But no matter how hard she tried to hold back, a single tear eventually came out.

“Me too…”

Cecilia gently wiped her tears with her handkerchief that was on her desk.

Not long after her ascension to the throne, Cecilia expressed her worries and fears about her future.

But now her confidence has improved a lot compared to then. It was thanks to the increase in the number of people who were by her side.

When she remembered that, she was able to hold back tears again.

She read her next words with concentration. When she finished reading the last line, a mixture of joy and surprise appeared on her face.

“I guess I should write a reply quickly.”

Cecilia quickly took out her new stationery and wrote her reply. She put it in an imperial envelope and sealed it, then called in the postmaster.

“This is a letter to Empress Sun, so you will take responsibility for her.”

“Yes, I will follow your orders.”

Only after seeing the postmaster leave did Cecilia stand up from her seat.

* * *

While Cecilia was away for a while, I was busy with paperwork with the maids.

“Your Majesty is late.”

Flora muttered to herself. Then Mulia opened her mouth.

“Perhaps Her Majesty the late Empress has delivered important news?”

“Hmm. That could be possible.”

“I think so too.”

Flora and I completely agreed with Mulia’s thoughts about her.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken this long to check a single letter.

At that time, Cecilia opened the door to her office and came inside.

“Everyone, was your work doing well?”

The three of us answered yes in unison. Cecilia nodded once and returned to her throne.

She rested her body comfortably on her back and closed her eyes for a moment.

I exchanged eye signals with Flora and Mulia.

Everyone was paying attention to what the late Empress’s letter might have contained. However, I didn’t feel like I was in the mood to talk carelessly, so I kept my words to myself as much as possible.

Even Flora, who occasionally throws a fastball.

“I have something to tell you.”

Fortunately, Cecilia seemed to have noticed this trend and tried her luck first.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Mulia and I were silent, and only Flora spoke. Cecilia looked at the three of us in turn.

“In celebration of this founding anniversary, my mother… Her Majesty Empress Sun said she would come to her imperial palace.”

“!”

My maids and I opened our eyes wide at the same time.

The late Empress had already left the imperial palace a long time before I began working as her exclusive secretary. So she almost erased it from her memory.

“He seemed worried about many things, perhaps because he had been away for a long time.”

“I was curious about the news from Her Majesty the Former Empress, so it’s good!”

As Flora spoke with a bright expression, a faint smile appeared on Cecilia’s lips.

“I was also very worried in many ways about how Her Majesty the late Empress was doing, Your Majesty.”

Next, Mulia also added a word.

I had nothing to say here. Cecilia’s mother, Empress Olivia, was only an extra who was mentioned in passing in the novel.

Moreover, we haven’t met her even once since she was possessed here.

No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange to say that I wanted to meet someone or that I was worried about someone I had never met.

“Now that I think about it, Luke, you’ve never met the former Empress.”

“That’s right.”

“I sent you a reply a little while ago. “If you come to this year’s Geongukje, there is definitely someone I can introduce to you.”

At the same time, Cecilia smiled meaningfully, and I quickly realized its meaning.

“Perhaps the late Empress will like you too.”

“I am very grateful, Your Majesty.”

I got up from my seat and bent my waist at a right angle.

Anyway, what should I do when I meet the late Empress?

“For your information, you have a somewhat picky side, so be extra careful that day.”

“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”

Since Cecilia says something like that, she might be a more strict person than I thought…

Cecilia gave the same precautions to not only me but also Flora and Mulia.

“In particular, you should pay close attention to your clothes.”

“I guess I should prepare a dress in advance.”

“It’s even better that way.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Flora and Mulia nodded and answered at the same time.

The maids then talked about going to get dresses tailored this weekend.

“Luke. “I think it would be a good idea for you to get a new tailcoat.”

Since this would be her first audience with the Empress, it seemed wisest for her to follow Cecilia’s instructions.

“Yes, I will.”

“Hmm. And I’ll have to share this news at this week’s noble meeting.”

“Would you like to make an announcement in advance before the meeting starts?”

When she asked her question, Cecilia showed signs of contemplation for a moment.

“That would be best.”

“Yes. Then I will prepare like that.”

After a brief discussion with me, Cecilia instructed to resume her work.

By the way, it’s been a long time since I heard of a noble meeting.

‘Has it been almost two months since the last time you did it?’

Of course, if you say you miss the nobles’ meeting, that’s definitely not the case.

It must be very stressful to deal with the aristocratic faction, especially Montersen and Marlboro.

You have to prepare in advance.

So that no matter what bullshit is said, you can calmly take it away.

* * *

The late Empress Olivia was sitting in her armchair and taking her rest.

It was a clear day without a single cloud, so I was able to fully enjoy the warm sunlight.

It’s been almost a year since I threw away my life at the imperial palace and moved into a small mansion in Keynham.

Here, Olivia focused solely on healing her body and mind.

She had no contact with anyone except her butler and her maids who followed her here. She didn’t even go to the little village of Cainham, which she could reach on foot in 10 minutes.

“I don’t know if the letter arrived safely…”

Olivia muttered with wide-open eyes. The maid served tea next to her faintly.

“I’m sure it arrived safely.”

“Okay. “Thank you for saying that.”

Olivia turned her head slightly towards her window. A small hill nearby came into her sight

A place she always saw, but she never walked to.

But Olivia never even thought about walking there herself.

She was scheduled to leave for the imperial palace in a few days, so her priority was to occupy her mind as much as possible until then.

‘I wonder how you are doing, Cecilia.’

Olivia quietly called the longed-for name in her heart.

As she thought about seeing her face for the first time in a long time, she felt her heart pounding for the first time in a long time.
