Episode 213: Sometimes women are also active

“…”

As I remained silent, Cecilia tilted her head slightly.

“Luke?”

“Yes…”

“I asked you a question.”

In one word, I urge you to answer quickly.

However, for me, it was an incredibly difficult situation.

The reason for my resignation was that I wanted to take refuge before the empire falls, but how can I say this?

“Are you saying you can’t even tell me this?”

“Your majesty. I’m sorry…”

“Why?”

Cecilia made a reproachful tone, and I had no choice but to lower my gaze.

“Why on earth can’t you tell me that too?”

“…”

If I were to express this situation right now, it would be this.

Even if there are ten mouths, there is nothing to say.

… In fact, if you think about it from a different perspective, it was completely understandable that Cecilia had such an attitude. If her direct subordinate said he would resign but could not even clearly state the reason and even lied, would she really be willing to accept the resignation?

No matter how much I thought about it, the possibility converged to 0.

“Luke. “Raise your head.”

“Yes.”

I slowly raised my head and met Cecilia’s eyes. She let out a deep sigh as if she was showing off.

“If the Emperor issues an order, then you too will have no choice but to speak.”

“!”

Are you going to involve the emperor in such a personal matter?

I was so surprised that I opened my eyes wide, and Cecilia pointed this out.

“It looks like something is holding you back?”

“Well, that’s…”

For reasons I can’t say, it’s frustrating for me too!

At this point, a thought occurred to me. Should I just close my eyes and scream?

Cecilia was looking at me with her arms crossed and her eyes wide open. It was as if he was waiting to see how I would come out.

“Your majesty. “If I tell you why I want to resign, will you believe me?”

First of all, I threw it to the board. Then she twitched one eyebrow.

It was as if he never thought I would come out like this.

“Are you trying to tell me something I don’t believe?”

“Depending on what you hear, it may be so.”

“…”

A suspicious expression appeared on her face.

Now, just when you are ready to open your mouth and get a few slaps,

“Until there.”

Suddenly, Cecilia raised her right hand and stopped me from speaking.

“If it’s that hard to say, you don’t have to say it so hard.”

“Your majesty…”

“Instead, you should not mention your resignation any more.”

“…”

Looking at her eyes, I noticed that she seemed to be hoping that this matter would be concluded at this point. However, I could see that if I left here again, I would be wasting my time.

“Can’t you just accept my resignation?”

“I can’t let you go that easily.”

The expression on Cecilia’s face when she said those words was one of determination itself.

After all, tantrums never work…

“If I have nothing more to say, I’ll just go back to my room.”

“Yes.”

I followed Cecilia in her footsteps.

* * *

Cecilia tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep until after midnight. It was because the conversation she had with Luke a few hours ago was on her mind.

She said, ‘I was definitely going to tell you why… ‘ …’

But strangely enough, when she tried to hear the reason, she felt an uneasy feeling for some reason. I would say it was an ominous premonition that if she heard the reason, a situation might arise in which she would not be able to accept Luke’s resignation.

Maybe I made a mistake.

But even now, I’m still troubled by the fact that Luke is keeping quiet about the reason for his resignation.

Why are they trying so hard to hide it?

Cecilia was in a contradictory state, with two thoughts colliding with each other: on the one hand, she was curious about it, but on the other hand, she thought it would be troublesome to hear it.

So, although she mentioned the ‘Imperial Order’, she did not actually issue the Imperial Order.

“Ha.”

Cecilia sighed into the air and rolled over on her side again. First of all, the most urgent problem was to somehow change Luke’s mind his.

‘It can’t be like this now.’

They threatened to not accept Luke’s resignation, and were monitoring his every move through Ilayna. But she felt that if she just tried to block it, it wouldn’t do any good for either of them.

You have to change your mind.

Somehow I felt like resigning.

After much thought, Cecilia came to that conclusion.

But she had no idea how to persuade her.

“Okay…”

She was so lost in her thoughts that her head started pounding. Cecilia frowned and pressed her thumb to her temple.

I need to sleep first.

She forced herself to close her eyes, and only after a long time was she able to sleep.

The next day at lunchtime, she came into my room as soon as she finished eating.

After thinking about it while working, I decided that it would be wisest to ask someone for their opinion.

Cecilia stared intently at the letter she had put down on her desk.

‘Who should I ask for advice?’ …’

The first person that came to mind was Baron Herald Nedville, Luke’s father and his relative.

“Hmm…”

She lightly rubbed her lower jaw and thought about it.

Baron Nedville will know his son well, so he may be able to come up with an appropriate solution.

‘Is not it…’

She thought back to her memories of her visit to the Nedeville estate last summer. At that time, Cecilia talked alone with Baron Nedville.

One of the surprising facts I learned at that time was that the Baron had sent documents to the imperial palace without even consulting Luke. He was so happy to discover Luke’s name without even knowing it himself that he appointed him as his direct secretary.

“If Luke found out, what would he say to me?”

You might be surprised.

When she imagined that scene, Cecilia burst into laughter without realizing it.

But she didn’t want to talk about it now. She first planned to quietly inform the public when the issue of Luke’s resignation was resolved to some extent.

‘For a moment, my thoughts wandered to another direction.’

Can Baron Nedville suggest me a useful solution?

She focused on this part. Baron Nedville had an open personality, so he was likely to give advice accordingly.

… I think it would be better to hold off first.

After making that conclusion, she thought of her next person: her mother, Olivia.

‘If you were a mother, you would have experienced this many times.’

Then, of course, you would know various solutions to these problems.

Her worries ended there.

“I guess I should send it to her mother.”

Cecilia organized her contents in her head and then began to write her letter her her her. After she finished writing the letter, she checked the contents and carefully put it in an envelope.

She blew a black whistle she had taken out of her drawer.

“Did you call me, Your Majesty?”

Lucia answered the call immediately. Cecilia got up from her seat and looked down at her Lucia who was down on one knee.

“Lucia. “There is work for you to do.”

“What is it?”

Cecilia handed her her well-sealed letter.

“I want you to pass this on to my mother. “As quickly as possible.”

“Can I come back in a few days?”

As soon as she assumed her task, a serious look came over Lucia’s face. Cecilia spread out her four fingers without any hesitation.

“I’ll give you four days. Please bring me a reply by then.”

It takes her more than a week to get to Kaneham, where Olivia stays, even by her carriage. But for the Luna crew, four days was enough time.

“I will do as you command, Your Majesty.”

As soon as Lucia received her letter her, she put it in her subspace her pocket her her her her. Then, after greeting Cecilia, she disappeared in an instant.

* * *

Two days later, Lucia arrived at Olivia’s mansion where she was staying. As soon as Olivia saw her, she was delighted and took her into the drawing room of her mansion.

“Your Majesty the late Empress. Her Majesty, Empress Cecilia, told me to deliver her letter, so I came to see you in person.”

Lucia lowered her posture and held out her envelope with both hands.

“Cecilia? What’s going on…”

Olivia took her letter and looked at it, turning the envelope back and forth. She then ripped open the seal of her envelope with a paper knife given to her by her maid.

“Hmm.”

As she read down the type in her letter her, the corners of Olivia’s mouth her slowly rose.

To summarize the contents of the letter Cecilia sent, it was as follows.

Recently, Luke, his immediate secretary, tried to resign without giving a reason, which is causing trouble.

I would like to somehow persuade him to give up his decision to resign, but I don’t know what to do, so please give me advice.

‘Our Cecilia is having a hard time.’

It was also puzzling to Olivia that Luke did not say why he wanted to resign. But Olivia decided that it wasn’t that important here.

Her point is that her daughter she wants to hold on to her secretary somehow.

“Hehe. Come to think of it… It seemed like our Cecilia had feelings for Secretary Luke.”

She mumbled to herself and asked her question to her maid who was standing next to her.

“Didn’t you think so too?”

“Yes. “It seemed that way to me too.”

As her maid shook her head, Olivia burst out laughing.

Lucia did not add her words, but deep down she had the same opinion as the two people. In fact, whenever Cecilia faced Luke, her expression usually softened.

‘However, now there is a conflict due to the resignation issue…’

Lucia just hoped that the conflict would end quickly, one way or another.

“What should I reply… ” …”

Olivia looked happy, but she looked worried. If possible, it was her simple (?) Hope that Cecilia would show a more proactive attitude towards Luke.

‘In that case, that’s all there is to it.’

Her prediction was that if we only approached it from the perspective of the emperor versus the secretary, the issue would run parallel.

So there was a need to completely change the perspective itself.

Man vs woman.

And sometimes, a woman’s proactive actions helped improve relationships. She recalled how she used to unravel her relationship in that way when she and her husband fought, and she took a moment to soak in her memories.

“Well, this is not the time.”

Olivia instructed her maid to bring her paper and pen.

After a while the maid brought them over, and Olivia began writing her letter. While she was writing without hesitation, she remembered a passage from the letter Cecilia had sent.

‘Now that I think about it, she said she moved the secretary’s room to the room right next door.’

Olivia raised the corners of her mouth as she emphasized the last sentence.
