Episode 175: Plans and Conspiracies

Today was the day when the nobles’ meeting was held for the first time in almost two months.

When the grandfather clock struck 9:50 a.M., Cecilia put the gold pen in her pen stand.

“Luke.”

“Yes. “I will prepare right away.”

I also organized my documents and put my pen in the pen stand. Then, I took out some documents that I had kept in the drawer.

It was a document that clearly summarized in advance the items to be put on the agenda of the noble meeting.

“Are we done?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Only then did Cecilia get up from her throne. Seeing that he was making grunting noises, it seemed like he didn’t want to attend the meeting.

Well, I was feeling the same way.

I can already feel my left temple throbbing.

Cecilia motioned for me to come here, and I quickly walked to her side.

“Have a nice trip!”

“Please be careful.”

We left the office while hearing Flora and Mulia’s farewell.

From here, it only took 5 minutes to get to the conference room where the noble meeting was held.

Cecilia’s strides were somewhat slower than usual. She clearly seems to be wasting time.

“Luke. “Data.”

She held out her hand to me with her eyes fixed on the front. I handed her a copy of her document her listing her her agenda her her her her.

For reference, this document was written together with Cecilia yesterday.

I’m guessing you’re trying to organize your thoughts by checking one last time.

She scanned the document in a flash and then handed it back to me.

“I don’t know how they will react.”

“Are you saying that Her Majesty the late Empress is coming to the imperial palace?”

“Okay.”

Immediately after she gave a short answer, she sighed.

“Even if the imperial faction is like that, I’m worried about the reaction of the noble faction.”

The noble faction continued to have a confrontational relationship with the royal family after the failure of the rebellion of the former leader, the Duke of Hundrey.

Perhaps, in the days when Empress Olivia served as the emperor’s agent, there would have been more intense confrontation than now.

That means it will be unwelcome news for the aristocratic faction.

This is probably what Cecilia is worried about.

“Your majesty. “Do you dare to say a word?”

“Yunheohaji.”

“I think that seems a bit excessive concern. “Her Majesty Empress Sun has already announced through her letter that she is coming, and there is no one present who can stop her.”

Cecilia stopped her steps and turned towards me.

“Do you believe that my imperial authority is that strong?”

“Yes. And I think the imperial nobles will support it.”

Cecilia twitched her eyebrows for a moment.

“Now that I think about it, I forgot about that for a while.”

Only then did she relax, her shoulders slumping slightly.

“Thanks for reminding me, Luke.”

“No. “I was just stating the obvious.”

When I said this while bowing her head, Cecilia let out a light laugh. Then she took her steps toward the conference room again.

After a while, we entered the conference room.

The moment they saw Cecilia, the nobles sitting on either side of her stood up all at once. There was silence in the conference room until she sat down on her throne.

“Meet Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire!”

As soon as she sat down on her throne, all the nobles greeted her in unison. Cecilia nodded her head and motioned for her to take a seat.

I walked up to her throne, handed her her papers, and then returned to my seat below her.

“Before we start the meeting today, I have something to announce to you.”

Everyone was holding their breath and focusing their attention on Cecilia’s mouth. Cecilia took a moment to catch her breath and then shared her announcement.

She said, “For this international event, Her Majesty Empress Shen said she would come to her imperial palace her her her her. There are no specific plans yet, but it seems that you will continue to stay in the imperial palace during the period of the founding of the country, so please pay more attention to your conduct.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the nobles all responded in unison. Regardless of the imperial faction or the noble faction.

‘It looks like it’s going to go smoothly.’

I wondered what I would do if Marlboro asked me a strange question, but it seems I was in vain.

“Now let’s start the meeting. The first agenda of the day is…”

I focused on the meeting with a lighter mind.

* * *

The two-hour noble meeting concluded.

I was the first to leave the conference room with Cecilia. As I walked down the hallway, Cecilia spoke to me.

“Contrary to what I was worried about, nothing special happened.”

“I think this is normal.”

“Yes. That was originally true.”

Then she let out her long sigh.

The feeling of having to take something for granted as something that is not natural is probably quite frustrating.

Well, it’s something that can’t be helped for now.

Although they succeeded in capturing the imperial faction, they still could not capture a single member of the noble faction.

It may be that Duke Montersen’s power weakens his, but it seemed unlikely that such an event would occur right away.

Eventually we returned to the office.

“Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty!”

As soon as Flora saw us, she was delighted.

“Your majesty. “Are you okay?”

Mulia gave her a worried look. Cecilia shook her head and said that nothing special had happened.

After making sure she was sitting on her throne, I returned to her seat and sat down.

“Attention everyone.”

When Cecilia let out her clear voice, everyone turned their heads towards her.

“This festival is scheduled to be held in early October. The festival period is one week, and it was decided that the festival in downtown Delezón will also include a parade.”

Originally, the street festival held for the people of the empire did not include a parade.

However, Cecilia suggested that starting this year, the achievements of Gordeus, the founding god of the nation, should be celebrated through a parade, and it was passed with the approval of the emperor faction.

“Parade? Wow.”

Flora immediately expressed her expectations, and Mulia also showed an expression of surprise.

“So this time we also have to prepare for the parade event. It means there’s a little more work.”

“…”

The three of us chose silence instead of answering.

No, I was already preparing for the parade event when it was approved…

I just rolled my eyes and looked at the maids’ expressions. I felt like I knew roughly what Flora and Mulia were thinking.

It’s probably a question of whether work has really increased a little bit.

“I guess I have to accept my fate.”

“I will do anything for your Majesty.”

Fortunately, they quickly made up their minds. Cecilia nodded her head once with a satisfied look on her face.

Well, that’s it, but there are other things to do.

“Your majesty. For the ancestral rites, you must consult with the high priest in advance.”

“I was already planning to tell you.”

“I think it would be better to send someone right away.”

“Hmm. Surely…”

Cecilia crossed her arms and let out her excited voice. She seemed to be contemplating who to send.

Then she pulled one of her strings next to her throne.

After a while, the head of the house came to the office.

“Did you call me, Your Majesty?”

“There is something you must do.”

“What is it?”

“Head to the Great Hall immediately. There is something to discuss with the high priest there about the founding ceremony, so ask him to set the desired date.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After receiving the order, the head deacon immediately left the office.

The only high priest in the empire was not a person that even the emperor Cecilia could treat lightly.

Therefore, in order to meet, even if it was the emperor, there had to be prior consultation.

“I finally feel like I’ve taken a step forward.”

Cecilia muttered, and all three of us shook our heads at the same time.

It was good to see that things were going to get really busy now.

The deacon who ran to the main shrine came to the office about an hour later.

He relayed the high priest’s message and said he would come to the imperial palace in person at 4 PM on Thursday, three days later.

When we heard the news, not only Cecilia but also my maids and I were surprised.

“I didn’t expect the High Priest to come here in person…”

“The High Priest said he would like to have an audience with His Majesty first at the Imperial Palace.”

“I see.”

Cecilia smiled, raising the corners of her mouth.

There’s no way I wouldn’t be happy because someone who is hard to meet said he would come first.

After Cecilia dismissed the boss of her house, she turned her head in this direction.

“Luke. “On that day, you too will accompany me.”

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

At night, Montersen summoned the Marquis of Marlborough to the Duke of Montersen’s residence.

“I came running in a month, Duke.”

“Sit down for now.”

The spot Monte Ressen pointed to was the sofa across from him. Marlboro quickly went to his seat and sat down.

The duke’s maid prepared warm tea, but the two men did not even look at the teacups.

“What do you think about the late Empress coming to the imperial palace?”

Since there was no one else but the two of them, Montersen did not use any honorifics. Marlboro gave his answer without any hesitation.

“Of course, I think we should use this as an opportunity to sway the Empress.”

“Well, that’s an established fact…”

Montersen sat with one leg crossed.

“I’m curious as to why the woman who disappeared just for the sake of recuperation wants to come to the imperial palace again.”

“That… I don’t know either.”

“Know. “How could you possibly know something I don’t know?”

Monte Lessen snorted at her.

“Hmm. No matter how you look at it, I don’t think she has any intention of returning to the imperial palace.”

Montersen muttered to himself, and Marlboro remained silent and silent. She knew full well that when Montersen was absorbed in her thoughts, she sometimes muttered to herself.

“This isn’t important right now.”

“Yes. “I think so too.”

“The important thing is how to sway the woman through Empress Sun…”

At that moment, Marlboro came up with a very brilliant idea.

‘If this is it!’

“Duke. “I have a good idea.”

“Hoo. “What?”

A light of interest appeared in Montersen’s eyes. After Marlboro confirmed this, she spoke in a hushed voice.

“Before Empress Shen arrives at the imperial palace, she will be kidnapped from here.”

“Oh. “For some reason, you came up with a very good method.”

Marlboro bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.

Only then did Montersen savor the tea in front of him.

“It is a time-sensitive issue. As soon as the sun rises, get ready and do it.”

“Yes, Duke.”

“I expect good news.”

“I will do my best.”

Marlboro saluted him.
