Episode 196: Why are these women talking like this today?

The place the three women introduced as a great place was the rooftop of the banquet hall. I didn’t know that the banquet hall had a separate rooftop.

“This is a space only allowed to the royal family.”

Cecilia said to me as I looked around. Even though the sun had already set, I could see that she was smiling softly thanks to the torch lighting around her.

“Mr. Luke. Look over there!”

This time Flora called me. When I turned around, she was standing in front of the railing and pointing somewhere.

I walked up next to Flora. Then Cecilia and Mulia also headed towards the railing.

“The square is as bright as daylight.”

The rest of Deleson was dark, but the square where the festival was held was, as Flora said, very brightly lit. It felt as if it was a different world.

“Seeing the people of the empire enjoying the festival makes me feel good.”

Cecilia’s tone also contained a hint of joy. It will be rewarding in many ways to see the results of leading the hosting of this international event right before your eyes.

“Everyone looks lively.”

Mulia also spoke in a secretly happy tone.

“Luke. What time is it now?”

“It’s 10 o’clock at night.”

After telling the time, I put my pocket watch back in my pocket.

“It will start soon.”

As soon as Cecilia finished speaking, she lifted her head and looked up at the night sky. Me, Flora, and Mulia also looked towards the same spot.

At that time, a sound came from somewhere. This was clearly the sound of fireworks being launched from below.

After a while.

-Phew!

A huge firework exploded with a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and earth. The pitch-black night sky, like drawing paper, suddenly brightened, and at the same time, the shape of a red rose was drawn.

“It’s a romantic sight.”

“I think so too, Mr. Luke.”

I muttered something to myself without realizing it, and Flora immediately agreed. She turned her head and her eyes met Flora’s.

“Hehe.”

Flora smiled her cute eyes.

It was definitely a smile full of destructive power.

… Come to think of it, I received a confession from Flora a while ago.

However, with Cecilia and Mulia right next to me, I felt uncomfortable saying the confession out loud. Even Flora doesn’t want to hear an answer right now.

Then, the second firework beautifully decorated the night sky with a roar. This firework had a shape that closely resembled a carnation.

“What a beautiful sight.”

This time, Cecilia muttered in a low tone. The scenery was truly beautiful as various fireworks colored the night sky.

If it were me in a past life, I would have started shooting videos on my smartphone.

But after going without her smartphone, she realized something. Leaving fleeting beauty forever may actually cause that beauty to fade.

‘I’m having all sorts of strange thoughts again.’

While I was rubbing the underside of her nose for no reason, Cecilia suddenly grabbed my left hand.

Startled, I lifted her shoulders and turned my head to the left.

“Luke.”

Cecilia called me softly and slowly turned her head to look at me in the eye. Her intense eyes that seemed to be filled with red ruby stared at me.

“…”

“…”

Fireworks continued to explode in the sky. Flora was cheering and applauding the night sky.

But strangely enough, the sound seemed to come from far away.

It feels like Cecilia’s gaze is holding my consciousness very strongly.

“I want to say thank you to you.”

Cecilia’s small and delicate hand gripped my hand a little more tightly.

“Your majesty…”

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to deal with this rationally. He probably made a mistake while his mind was controlled by anger.”

“No, I just gave some weak advice.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Cecilia shook her head.

“Even though it was just weak advice, it was of great help to me. “I’m sure your mother is grateful to you.”

Cecilia’s expression was filled with confidence.

“I am very grateful, Your Majesty.”

“Hehe.”

I bowed my head slightly and she smiled lightly.

“I’m really, really glad to have you.”

Cecilia’s fingers curled between mine. Meanwhile, the fireworks exploded once more, and bright light poured down on her face.

Only my image her was reflected in those ruby colored eyes

“…”

“What is the answer?”

“I truly feel honored to be of help to Your Majesty.”

I gave the best answer I could. Then, unexpectedly, Cecilia sighed.

‘Did I do something wrong?’

“You are too upright. It’s okay to relax a little…”

“Your majesty. “I couldn’t hear what you said.”

“No. “I’m talking to myself, so don’t worry about it.”

She shook her head again, her glossy blonde hair bouncing lightly in response.

“I hope you will continue to be with me, Luke.”

The moment she heard those words, she felt as if a stone had been dropped in her heart.

I’m going to resign in a month…

But I answered her quickly, hiding her embarrassment.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The fireworks festival continued thereafter. As if this moment would last forever.

* * *

The banquet ended around midnight. After receiving greetings from the attendees, mother and daughter Cecilia and Olivia were the first to leave the banquet hall.

Thanks to this, my maids and I were able to leave the banquet hall comfortably without being mixed in with the crowd.

When I returned to the main palace, I felt a deep sense of fatigue pressing down on my whole body.

“Cecilia. “Why don’t you sleep with me today?”

“Yes, mother.”

Well, I showed up, so there’s no need to go into the secret room again.

Moreover, mother and daughter will want to share stories that have accumulated over the years.

“You guys have had a hard time too. “I want to go in quickly and rest.”

Normally, the maids and I would have had to assist the mother and daughter until they returned to their rooms. However, Olivia was considerate of us in the middle of the hallway on the second floor.

‘Her Majesty the late Empress is certainly a person of good character.’

“Everyone worked hard. “Take a good rest tomorrow.”

“I am very grateful, Your Majesty. And Her Majesty the late Empress.”

Me, Flora, and Mulia bowed at the same time to the mother and daughter. After accepting our greetings, the mother and daughter headed to their room.

“Everyone has worked hard so far.”

I looked at the maids in turn and spoke. Then Flora and Mulia responded by saying that I had a hard time.

Now, I should quickly go back to my room and get some sleep.

As I continued to walk, I soon arrived in front of Mulia’s door. But instead of going into her room her her her, she was staring at me.

“Mr. Luke. “Can you talk to me for a moment?”

“Mulia? Are you suddenly going out actively?”

Flora smiled her playful eye smile. Nevertheless, Mulia maintained a serious expression.

It looks like they’re about to say something serious…

“Lady Mulia. I’m sorry, but I’m a little tired today…”

“It has to be now.”

Mulia spoke firmly for some reason, and Flora opened her eyes wide and showed her surprise.

“Hmm. It seems like a serious atmosphere, so I’ll go in first, Mr. Luke. Mulia, don’t hold on to Luke too much.”

“I just want to have a little conversation.”

Flora waved her hand at us and walked to her own room. Only then did Mulia look at me again.

“Are you okay, Mr. Luke?”

“Yes. “It seems like there’s something important to talk about.”

“Important talk… “It’s not something I would say.”

She suddenly lowered her head and wriggled her hands together on her lower abdomen. She clearly had something to say, but she seemed embarrassed.

“Now that I think about it, the young lady and I didn’t talk much even though she was dancing.”

“Yes. Actually, that was a bit disappointing.”

“Speak comfortably. There are only two of us here anyway.”

I deliberately opened her arms wide and encouraged her to see her surroundings. Mulia took a look around her hallway as I intended.

Perhaps because she confirmed that no one was there, she looked more relaxed than before.

“Please don’t think this is strange…”

What on earth are you trying to say by laying the groundwork for her?

I blinked my eyelids and waited for the next line to come out of her lips.

“Oh, you were really great today, Mr. Luke.”

“Yes? Suddenly?”

I felt a bit embarrassed rather than happy because they said it was cool without any context.

Mulia nodded her head strongly.

“When you work with Her Majesty Empress Cecilia to find the culprit behind the attempted kidnapping of the late Empress… You looked dashing. And even when dancing…”

Mulia, who was shaking her head, suddenly placed her hand on her left breast.

“That was great, Mr. Luke.”

“Uh… Thank you, Lady Mulia.”

“I’m sorry for suddenly saying this.”

She nodded, and I waved at her not to do so.

“No. “I’m glad you think favorably of me, young lady.”

“I’m really glad to hear that Mr. Luke was happy.”

Mulia looked relieved. Immediately after that, a deep blush appeared on both her cheeks.

“Well, I’ll just go in now. Good night, Mr. Luke.”

“Yes. Good night, young lady.”

Mulia turned her body around and walked to my room at a brisk pace. As she was watching from behind, I couldn’t help but laugh because it was so cute.

By the way, why are these women acting like this today?

I stood there and thought about it for a while, but the answer was unclear.

* * *

Flora could not fall asleep easily and kept tossing and turning her body. It was because the moment she confessed to Luke kept lingering in her mind.

“Boo… I confessed without even realizing it…”

Flora sighed, clutching the hem of her blanket.

She realized her feelings for Luke right away, and she had a feeling that she would confess to him someday. However, he had no idea that the confession would come out like this without his knowledge of her.

However, I felt like picking it up and saying it was a joke that would confuse Luke. She says that she is a slut who confesses without any reason.

Because of this, Flora changed her mind.

Since we’ve already done it, let’s make sure we fix it.

‘So I ended it by saying I would wait for an answer…’

I could feel her heart pounding. It was beating so loudly that it felt like the sound of my heart was ringing in my ears.

I don’t think I can sleep like this.

Flora threw off her blanket and raised her upper body.

“What answer will Mr. Luke give?”

In fact, either way, Flora had decided to accept it calmly. However, people have the property of secretly wishing things to happen in the direction they want, and Flora was no exception.

“It would be great if you said let’s become lovers…” ” …”

Flora closed her eyes and imagined the scene. Then she was so happy that she pounded the mattress with her dainty fists.

At this time, Flora did not know.

She knew Luke would come up with an answer to her confession sooner than she expected.
