Episode 214: Cecilia’s Big Decision

Lucia arrived at the imperial palace exactly four days later.

At that time, Cecilia was resting in her room after finishing her day’s work.

“Your majesty. “I just returned.”

Lucia appeared in front of Cecilia, who was sitting in an armchair. She bowed her head politely, kneeling on one knee.

“You arrived at just the right time.”

“I ran as fast as I could.”

Cecilia looked satisfied with Lucia’s answer her. Lucia took out Olivia’s letter from her subspace pocket and handed it to her politely.

“As soon as Her Majesty Empress Olivia Sun confirmed Her Majesty’s her letter her her, she immediately wrote a reply.”

“I see…”

Cecilia shook her head and then got up from her armchair.

“Lucia. Thank you for your hard work. “She can go back now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I hope you have a peaceful night.”

After leaving her greeting, Lucia put on her invisibility cloak.

Cecilia raised the envelope in her hand to her her her eye level her. What exactly is written?

She sat in front of her desk with anticipation. She removed the wax from the envelope with a paper knife from the drawer and carefully took out the letter.

“Let’s see…”

Cecilia muttered to herself and read the type on her letter. At first, there was anticipation on her face, but as she read, her expression gradually hardened.

“…”

Even after she finished reading her letter, she just blinked blankly for a while.

‘This is advice… ‘What?’

Did I read it wrong?

She read the letter again just to be sure, but it turned out she had read it correctly.

“Ha… Mother…”

Cecilia put her letter down on her desk and touched her forehead with a deep sigh.

The solution Olivia suggested in her letter she was certainly a good one. However, it was very far from what Cecilia wanted.

It was as if she wanted to find the answer at the end of the east, and the answer was at the end of the west.

Cecilia sighed again and put the letter in her hand again. She then read it in a low voice.

“Of course, as the emperor, my daughter will do everything she can to stop Secretary Luke from resigning. But you’re asking me for advice because you’re worried deep inside. Then I think there is a good way. You and Secretary Luke happen to be the same age and are in a man-woman relationship…”

When she had read that far, Cecilia felt a heat rising from the base of her neck and quickly looked away from her letter.

However, there was nothing to stop her entire face from turning bright red as the following content continued to circulate in her mind.

“Ha.”

Only after she somehow managed to cool off by fanning her hands did Cecilia find the courage to face her stationery again. Still, just in case, she took a deep breath and looked at her letter.

[It seems like my daughter has some feelings for Secretary Luke, so I think it would be a good idea to appeal to her. Her liking sometimes goes beyond social status. Originally, I was just one of the common noble daughters of a count family. But with the power of her love, she was able to capture her husband’s heart.]

“…”

Still, it was okay up to this point. I couldn’t shake the feeling that the focus was gradually becoming out of alignment.

But the problem was:

[There is no more effective way to hold onto someone by expressing your feelings for them. Of course, if one side has no effect at all, it will only have the opposite effect… From what I saw, Secretary Luke also seemed to have some interest in you. So if you do well, you will be able to capture Secretary Luke.

If it doesn’t work out, you can be more proactive.

Just because a woman shows a positive attitude first can make a man sway.

Sometimes, try to push yourself boldly. It is especially effective when knocked down on a bed.]

“Knocking it down… Ha…”

Cecilia became embarrassed.

“Did I ask my mother for no reason… ?” …”

Cecilia put her letter in her envelope and sealed it in her drawer. She then jumped into her bed to cool down her heated body.

“…”

She wanted to lie down blankly, emptying her mind, but the sentences written in her letter kept running through her mind.

“It’s more effective if you knock it down?”

Cecilia placed her right hand on her left breast. Her heartbeat, somewhat faster than usual, was conveyed to her palm.

Various thoughts began to float in her mind. But soon, the idle thoughts were refined into thoughts and continued to follow her.

Luke leaving the palace like this was the last thing she wanted.

However, Luke still did not break his heart about resigning.

A situation where Luke’s mind needs to be changed in some way.

Persuading with words takes time. But if it’s the method my mother came up with…

“If you do it well, it might work…”

To be honest, just imagining taking down Luke made her face get hot.

As the emperor, it wasn’t that difficult to immobilize Luke if he gave his orders. However, if you do that, you will definitely cause quite a bit of damage to Luke’s heart.

‘If it were me in the past, I wouldn’t have even considered that…’

Cecilia let her sigh into the air. Now she can’t go back to the way she was before she met Luke.

“I’m the one who regrets it anyway.”

Therefore, it was necessary for her to put into practice even the somewhat radical method that her mother had taught her.

Cecilia removed her hand from her chest and thrust her fist into the air. She then decided that tomorrow night, she would take down Luke once.

* * *

“…”

Weekday business hours as usual.

However, there seemed to be some strange current flowing today.

Because… It was because every time she looked up from her papers, Cecilia turned her head.

‘What? Are you watching me?’

Are you wondering if I should submit my resignation?

Well, if you’re worried about that, there is some truth to it.

Because right now, there is another resignation letter sleeping in my jacket pocket. This time, my father gave me the reason for submitting application documents to the imperial palace without even consulting me.

I’m not sure how well that will work, but…

Cecilia’s strange behavior continued until lunch time approached. Flora and Mulia also seemed to find this strange.

“Your majesty? You kept glancing at Luke a while ago. Is there any reason?”

Flora raised her hand and asked her question. Then Cecilia shook her shoulders.

Anyone can see that this is not normal.

“No. “Don’t worry about it.”

Cecilia spoke, feigning her composition, but she was already one step too late.

“Your majesty. “Do you have something to say to me?”

“I told you not to worry about poetry.”

Cecilia, momentarily stuttering over her words, jerked her head up with her arms crossed. But I witnessed it in that split second.

The sight of her pure white cheeks turning reddish!

Why?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t even guess the reason. Well, since I told you not to worry about it, you should follow what I said.

But even after that, Cecilia glanced here often.

So much so that it’s difficult for her to pretend not to know.

Finally, after lunch, I asked to talk to Cecilia again. Since she was on her way back to her room, it was a perfect situation for a conversation alone.

“Your majesty. Could you give us a chance to talk for a moment?”

“Uhm. “It’s difficult now.”

She didn’t even look at me.

“I submitted my resignation…”

“That’s not possible!”

Before I could finish speaking, Cecilia turned towards me.

Since they didn’t want to make eye contact, I just glanced at them, and the effect was amazing.

Well, since it’s like this, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to submit it.

I took out her resignation letter from the inside pocket of her jacket and handed it to her with both hands.

“Didn’t I say no?”

“Still, can you at least review it?”

“…”

A moment later, Cecilia snatched away her resignation letter. I was worried that she might tear it like that, but she just stared at it.

Eventually, she let out a light sigh.

“I will read it.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Looking at the attitude Cecilia has shown so far, it can be seen as a foregone conclusion that she will not accept it. Still, not tearing up the resignation letter in front of me was a clear change in attitude.

“Luke. “I want to see your room for a moment.”

I tilted my head without knowing because he suddenly gave me an unexpected instruction.

However, the facilities in the imperial palace actually belonged to Cecilia. It was her freedom no matter what she did

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

So I headed to my room with her. Entering her room, Cecilia turned her head here and there and looked closely at her room.

“Are you looking for something?”

“No.”

Cecilia answered briefly and this time looked at my bed closely.

… Do you have a plan?

But since I couldn’t ask such a rude question out loud, the best I could do was make an inference on her behavior

‘But I really don’t know why you’re looking at my room so hard.’

“Hmm.”

After a long time had passed, Cecilia nodded her head once.

“Thank you for taking the time.”

“For Your Majesty, this is nothing.”

“Resignation is not for me.”

“That is a separate matter, Your Majesty.”

“…”

Cecilia gave her a reproachful look, and I glanced away.

“I’m going back now. “Please come to the office on time.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Cecilia left my room with her long strides. Only then was I able to lie down on the bed and rest comfortably.

But at that time, I had no predictions.

“Luke…”

I didn’t expect Cecilia to climb on top of my sleeping body and let out an earnest voice.
