Episode 184: The formidable Empress

The carriage quickly set off in the direction of Keynham under Cecilia’s orders and arrived at the location of Empress Olivia in just five days.

It was thanks to the coachman staying up all night and diligently driving the carriage.

Olivia was able to get into the carriage with the help of her maid.

Meanwhile, Ilaina led the Luna crew, quickly organized their luggage, and prepared to escort the carriage.

Then, at Olivia’s request for her, Ilaina joined her in the carriage.

“I’m anxious that something like that might happen again.”

“I apologize for not being able to escort you properly.”

When Ileina lowered her head again, Olivia told her to raise her head again.

“It’s already happened.”

“…”

Ilaina couldn’t come up with any answer.

As far as she could remember, this was probably the first time Olivia had experienced such a threat to her safety. Even if she pretends to be okay, there will still be a feeling of fear in her heart.

‘There must be a reason why you asked me to ride with you in the carriage.’

“Still, I feel uneasy for some reason.”

Olivia muttered, and the maid sat across from her said,

“Me too, yes…”

I agreed with a slightly trembling voice.

“I will escort you two to make sure you don’t get hurt.”

“I feel reassured when you say that.”

“Thank you, Ilaina.”

Ilaina responded to the two people’s gratitude with a silent salute.

The maid who served Olivia learned of Luna’s existence her only when members of her Luna crew visited her mansion her. However, she never made her Luna’s existence known to the world.

She had been a very carefully chosen maid since Olivia left for Cainham, and her maid had always repaid Olivia with her trust.

Because their mutual trust was clear, Olivia informed her maid of Luna’s existence.

“Ilaina. Lucia knows him by now…”

“They are probably capturing him alive and digging for information.”

Olivia deliberately trailed off because she couldn’t tell her maid about the existence of her secret base.

However, from Ilayna’s answer to her her, the maid was able to guess what Luna’s leader, Lucia, would have done. She didn’t say what she guessed, though.

“It seems like Cecilia is worried about many things.”

Olivia let out a sigh and turned her gaze towards the outside of her window.

After that, there was silence in the carriage. The only thing that took its place was the noise of the carriage wheels rolling.

Ileina closed her eyes tightly and opened her auditory nerves outward. She wanted to avoid repeating the same mistake she made a few days ago.

But as she continued to do so, little by little, different thoughts entered her mind.

‘Secretary, are you doing well as usual?’

Almost half a year has already passed since she took charge of Luke’s security. In the meantime, Il Reina, knowingly or unknowingly, became very attached to Luke.

Although I was still not aware of it.

‘I need to go back quickly and protect you…’

She just sighed inwardly.

Still, she quickly cut off her distracting thoughts and returned to focusing on the four pillars.

Olivia and her group arrived at an inn in a small town late at night.

Olivia decided to share a room with Ileina, while her maid and coachman took one room each. The remaining Luna members spread out to the roof and surrounding area of the inn and went on night guard duty.

Olivia had a simple dinner of bread and stew provided by her inn.

“Ilaina. “I have some bread left, would you like to eat it?”

“I’m very sorry, but I ate beef jerky a little while ago, so it’s okay.”

“I see.”

If it had been offered to her by Luke, she would have accepted it without hesitation.

However, he could not bear to do so in front of the late Empress Olivia. No matter how much Olivia gave her, she couldn’t help but notice.

Because Olivia was the one who created Luna.

As soon as she finished dinner, Olivia sat down on the bed. She had been camping for several days and had been traveling by carriage non-stop since daylight, so she was rapidly getting tired.

But Olivia couldn’t fall asleep yet.

Because there was something I needed to check right now.

“Ilaina. Do you have a crystal ball?”

“Yes, Your Majesty the late Empress.”

Il Reina pulled out her crystal orb from her subspace pouch. Then, he dragged the nightstand from her bedside to the position across from Olivia and carefully placed her crystal ball on it.

“Thank you.”

Olivia she smiled soft smile at her and turned her head towards her her her her crystal orbs her. Olivia handled her crystal ball with a very familiar hand.

-Wow. Wow.

The crystal ball emitted a pale purple light with a low vibration sound. After a short wait, Luke and Cecilia were reflected in the crystal ball.

[Mother?]

Olivia laughed, looking at Cecilia, who had a surprised expression.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other again, Cecilia.”

* * *

Today again, I was working overtime in my room alone with Cecilia. Then, suddenly, a beep was heard again indicating that a call had arrived from the crystal sphere.

That’s how I gathered in front of the crystal ball with Cecilia.

The difference is

[It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other again, Cecilia.]

Unlike last time, the late Empress Olivia Campbell Eckhart appeared in the crystal ball.

Because of that, I was very nervous and bent my waist towards Olivia.

“Meeting Her Majesty, Empress Olivia.”

[It looks like this boy is Secretary Luke you mentioned in your letter.]

“Yes, mother.”

Next, Cecilia announced in a low voice that she could raise her head. When she raised her head again, she was able to see Olivia smiling softly.

[Cecilia said so. She says you help her a lot by being by her side her her her her.]

“Mother. Those words…”

Cecilia reacted with embarrassment.

Well, I guess there’s a reason to be embarrassed about something like that…

I checked Olivia’s expression just in case, and it seemed like she was enjoying the situation where my daughter was embarrassed.

Was the relationship between her mother and daughter this good?

Since it had never been mentioned in the original work, it felt fresh in many ways.

[Ho Ho. Is there a reason to be so embarrassed?]

“Yeah, that’s right.”

The sight of Cecilia struggling like this also came across as refreshing to me. But her friendly atmosphere she did not last long.

[Cecilia, and Secretary Luke. I would like to hear your opinion on how you plan to handle this incident.]

A heavy topic came out of Olivia’s mouth her her her her. Cecilia took one look at me and cleared her throat.

“Mother. First of all, I don’t plan on telling the outside world.”

[I wonder why.]

“Luke will explain well.”

What? Are you suddenly passing the baton to me?

However, I accepted it right away without showing any signs of embarrassment.

“I am predicting that the mastermind behind this incident is from the aristocratic faction. However, as of now, there are only symptoms and no physical evidence at all.”

[Hmm. A noble family… There seems to be a point.]

From the looks of it, Olivia seemed to have made a similar guess as me.

[But is that even a reason not to announce it?]

“I don’t know what else the noble faction may have planned. So I plan to watch their reaction.”

[Are you trying to find out their other purpose?]

“Yes, Your Majesty the late Empress.”

Olivia gently touched her lips and looked lost in her thoughts.

[It looks like something more is needed for that. What do you think?]

Actually, I realized this while talking about this. There is only one thing lacking in this plan.

“I suddenly realized it while I was talking to you.”

“Hmm.”

Cecilia, who was next to her, made a soft noise, and it seemed like she was curious about what it was.

“I think she should spread the story like Her Majesty Empress Shen was kidnapped.”

[Ho Ho. Looking at your expression her her her, I really feel like I’ve been kidnapped.]

“Oh, that’s not it…” ” …”

[Seeing how embarrassed he is, he is that age.]

A smile appeared on Olivia’s lips.

This person… She has a soft appearance at first glance, but she is no pushover!

‘The aristocratic b*stards have given even people like this a headache…’

[Cecilia. It’s been a while since I got to use that room.]

“Yes. “I will prepare it in advance.”

Her mother and daughter continued their conversation for a while about something I didn’t know. Afterwards, the late Empress said that she should take a rest.

“I hope you have a comfortable night, Your Majesty the late Empress.”

[Dream sweet dreams, too.]

Cecilia then said good night to the late Empress.

Empress Shen walked away from her crystal sphere, and this time Il Reina appeared in front of it. She greeted Cecilia first and then called me.

[Secretary. How are you doing?]

“Huh. “I’m busy, but I’m doing well.”

[Then that’s a good thing. We will escort you as soon as you return to the imperial palace.]

No, I don’t think you need to be that busy…

But when I saw her, her passionate eyes, I couldn’t bear to say that.

“I’ll take care of you, Ilaina.”

Il Reina said good night to me and Cecilia, and immediately after that her connection to the crystal sphere was lost.

“Your majesty. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Yunheohaji.”

“What kind of room is that?”

“Oh, you mean that room?”

The corners of Cecilia’s mouth her and her her rose her. She had a playful smile, like a tomboy.

“It’s a secret space. “A secret space that no one knows about except the royal family and a very small number of people.”
