Episode 211: That’s a futile effort

Mulia was spending time in Flora’s room.

The two maids were sitting facing each other across a small round table, on which jasmine tea and a few pieces of biscuits were set out.

“Mulia. “You just heard it too, right?”

“Yes, I heard you clearly.”

They nodded their heads once with serious faces.

“Mr. Luke is lying to us… Even to Your Majesty.”

“Yes…”

When Cecilia gave the order to congratulate the two maids in Luke’s room, they did not return immediately but stood with their ears pressed to the door.

It was because I couldn’t bear the curiosity about what Luke and Cecilia would talk about.

They focused all their attention on hearing. Then, I could clearly hear the conversation between the two people coming from inside.

“…”

“…”

In fear of being caught, the two women held their breath as low as they could.

Meanwhile, I heard a very shocking story. The truth was that the story about Emma being sick was actually a lie made up by Luke to get her to retire!

Next, the two listened clearly as Cecilia let out her disappointed voice.

When Flora heard that, she first noticed Cecilia leaving her room. Thanks to this, they were able to escape without being discovered by Cecilia.

“What is the reason Mr. Luke is so desperate to resign?”

Mulia let out a calm voice. Flora lightly pinched her lips and let out her excited voice.

But no matter how hard the two racked their brains, they could not guess the reason.

“If…”

Mulia furrowed her eyebrows as Flora began her rhyme.

“Because of what I confessed…” ” … “I guess not?”

“That will never happen.”

Mulia answered with great confidence, and Flora scratched the side of her head.

“Right? Ahaha. I stopped thinking about all sorts of things…”

“You’re attractive enough, so don’t worry about that.”

“Thank you, Mulia. I love you so much!”

Flora spread her arms wide with a wide smile on her face. Realizing that she was trying to hug her, Mulia stopped her by raising her right hand.

“Keep that love in.”

“Hehe. “It’s embarrassing.”

“It’s not that, it’s because it’s burdensome.”

Even though Flora smiled mischievously, Mulia maintained her calm demeanor.

“Or maybe we didn’t pay too much attention.”

“Us?”

As soon as Flora asked, Mulia shook her head.

“I think it’s time to look back.”

“Hmm… I think it makes sense.”

Flora nodded her agreement, and Mulia rested her chin and let out a sigh.

“Actually, there is something that bothers me too.”

“Oh, really?”

Flora stared at Mulia with her eyes wide open.

“Yes…”Do you remember when Mr. Luke had just become his immediate secretary?”

“Of course! You were really cute back then… Hehe.”

Mulia felt curious as she watched Flora’s blushing cheeks. Just a few days ago, she was heartbroken because she was dumped by Mr. Luke…

‘You still haven’t given up, Flora.’

Mulia promised again that she would not lose and continued her story.

“At that time… You were trying to ostracize Mr. Luke. Maybe it’s still there as sediment…”

“Hey, can that be possible? Mr. Luke is such a generous person.”

“Yeah, right?”

“Yes!”

Flora nodded her head vigorously. Seeing that, Mulia felt relieved.

“Then what else is there?”

“Well…”

The two maids thought about it for a long time and exchanged opinions with each other. However, unfortunately, the conclusion was that the reason was not known at all.

“We’ll have to somehow get Mr. Luke opened his mouth. “What should I do?”

“I don’t know either…”

“Ugh. It’s stuffy.”

Flora shuddered, and Mulia sighed.

Luke’s request for resignation was embarrassing not only for Cecilia but also for her maids.

“…”

I turned off all the lights and lay down in bed, but I couldn’t sleep at all. I stared at the ceiling with blank eyes and slowly rolled over on my side.

A window facing outside came into view. But today, only pitch-black darkness surrounded the world, with no moon or stars.

“Ha. Is this correct…? …”

It was stuffy and disturbing in many ways.

It was quite shocking that Cecilia even went so far as to move my room to the room next to hers in order to somehow keep me there.

Still, I just had to get used to it.

Well, I’m thinking of resigning from my position as secretary before then.

But there was something else that really bothered me.

This was Cecilia’s reaction when I confessed that I had lied. Contrary to my expectation that she would be angry, Cecilia showed her disappointment and disappointment.

… That reaction actually made me worry more.

She would have felt better if she had gotten angry and scolded her for lying. If I had done that, I would have realized my mistake painfully.

I could have made up a believable lie with more peace of mind.

However, seeing Cecilia react that way, it was not easy for her to make up another lie. She was worried that Cecilia might be even more disappointed if she did that again.

‘How can something be so contradictory?’

But for now, it was most important not to disappoint Cecilia. She has already threatened to not accept my resignation.

But does she disappoint even more here?

It was obvious that it would be even more difficult to give up her position as secretary.

The more I think about it, the more troublesome the situation becomes…

A situation where you have to lie to resign.

However, if the lie was discovered again, it was clear that Cecilia would not accept her resignation.

‘Are you really going to just throw it away? She is trying to escape because the empire is destined to fall.’

The thought occurred to me for just a moment, but I immediately shook my head at her. Even if you think about it again, it’s crazy.

“Head hurts…”

I lay down straight and covered my forehead with my right hand. And right after I sighed into the air, I felt someone next to me.

“Ileina?”

“Is something bad about you?”

Although the room was dark, I could make out her expression her up close. His expression was the same as usual, but his voice was filled with subtle concern.

“No. Just something to think about…”

“Are you talking about resigning?”

“…”

Come to think of it, I guess they were watching everything I did today.

“Well, that’s right.”

“Secretary Nedville is a talent that the imperial palace absolutely needs. It is clear that Her Majesty will not let go easily.”

It was unexpected.

As I knew from Rayna, she never expressed her opinions so firmly.

“Did I do too well…” ” …”

I just worked with the mindset of not getting any hate.

“Yes. In my opinion, you were very good.”

Ileina answered her muttered words straight away. When she reacted like that, I felt a bit of shame.

“Ileina.”

“What if? “If I have a favor to ask, can you listen to it?”

“Yes.”

Ilaina gave an immediate answer without any hesitation!

“But I won’t help you resign or run away.”

Wow, that’s a succinct statement.

“What favor are you asking?”

“No. “I just tried it.”

“I understand.”

Il Reina nodded her head once.

“But is there a reason she showed up?”

“I plan to greet you like this more often from now on.”

I felt puzzled by the unexpected answer.

“Really?”

“I thought I had to do better in the future.”

Is it my imagination that Ilayna’s voice sounds softer than usual?

Eventually, she said good night and immediately disappeared.

‘I have to do well. What on earth…’

Probably, you’re trying to make sure I don’t resign, right?

But Ilaina. It would be a futile effort.

Because I will definitely resign.

However, I had a bit of an accident today, so I thought it would be a good idea to watch the situation for a while.

Montersen has now recovered enough to lie upright in bed. Although she still had pain in her lower back, she could be said to have improved significantly compared to immediately after the caning.

“Duke. “This is a letter from the Earl of Cork.”

“Yes you b*stard!” Why are you bringing that? “Did you forget my order to burn it down?”

The butler was very frightened by Montersen’s angry command of her. When he gestured to shoo him away, the butler hung his head and quickly left Montersen’s room.

“Huh…”

Montersen let out a heavy sigh and lay down on the bed again.

Recently, under the leadership of the Earl of Cork, several members of the lower-ranking aristocratic faction, including Viscount Nilos, were demanding to leave the party.

So far, I’ve been holding on to my rejection, but it was obvious that the atmosphere within the noble faction would become turbulent if things continued like this.

The fact that he still did not appear in public was also contributing to the confusion within the aristocratic faction.

‘My position is shaking…’

If he hadn’t been whipped by that b*tch, he would still have maintained his status and honor as the head of the noble faction.

However, after being flogged in front of everyone in the square, he felt like his authority had fallen to the ground, and he became so angry that he could not bear it.

“You have to control your emotions.”

However, if you give in to your anger, you may end up doing things wrong. Long life experiences have reminded me of this fact.

Here, we have to proceed step by step.

To achieve this, the first thing that had to be done was internal crackdown.

The problem was that there was no suitable person to act as his right-hand man.

Although the Marquis of Marlborough had a hard time working, his ability to act was strong, so he was hired as his right-hand man.

However, now that Marlboro is gone, someone to replace Marlboro was definitely needed.

Montersen got out of bed and walked over to his desk. He took out a document listing the noble factions from a drawer, and then quickly glanced at it.

“…”

As expected, there was no suitable person in sight. He furrowed his brow and threw his papers on the floor.

While I was fussing like that for a while, there was one person that passed through my mind.

“Wait…”

It’s still a bit unreliable, but what if Theorod joins the noble faction?

In Montersen’s opinion, it would be good to control the turbulent internal atmosphere if he had his son Theorod as his right-hand man along with those in high positions in the noble faction.

‘I guess I’ll have to tell that guy Theorod.’

Montersen went to the bed and pulled the string. After a while, the butler came and gave instructions to the butler.

“Bring Theorod right now!”
