217 – Episode 217 Isn’t This Something Only Lovers Do?
Episode 217 Isn’t this something only lovers do?
Want help weakening the noble faction?
“…”
“Why are you reacting so surprised?”
Cecilia asked a question, and I hesitated for a moment before moving her lips.
“Are you still not giving up on revenge?”
“What answer do you want to hear from me?”
The question she asked in her own way jabbed me in the side. As I was blinking, Cecilia blew on my face.
“That’s literally it. What kind of answer do you expect from me? “Do you want to give up revenge?”
“That…”
“I will allow you to speak your truth.”
Contrary to what he said, his eyes still had a fierce glow. I would say it’s like a beast trying to eat me.
… Is it really okay to tell the truth?
However, since I had already revealed the reason for my resignation and my future plans, the thought of what more I could hide also crossed my mind.
“I believe that if you make a mistake, Your Majesty, you may end up stained with revenge and blood. That’s why I’m so obsessed with revenge, to be honest… I am concerned.”
I finally said it.
Actually, I wanted to tell him to stop seeking revenge, but I felt like the repercussions would be severe if I did so, so I chose my words as best as I could.
“Hmm. In fact, it is the opposite position.”
“…”
I replaced positivity with silence. Cecilia let out a faint laugh.
“But did you forget what I just said? “I ask you to take good care of me so that I don’t become a tyrant.”
“Ah.”
Now that I think about it, I forgot about that.
“It’s no big deal. “I can’t believe you make such a dumbfounded expression.”
“I seem to have lost consciousness for a moment.”
“I feel bad for not paying attention to what I said, but I will especially forgive you.”
Is it because I keep facing each other in the dark?
Now I can discern the expression on her face.
There was a happy expression on Cecilia’s face right now. Just a little while ago, he looked embarrassed for being on top of me.
I may have already adapted to this situation.
And that also applied to me.
“I am very grateful, Your Majesty.”
Then Cecilia nodded her head once, and she showed her serious expression again.
“I will declare it clearly. “I have no intention of stopping my revenge.”
Will I be able to break that resolve will revealed in my voice?
No, that is impossible. How can I stop Cecilia from doing something like that?
“The only catch is that I mentioned that I would practice tyranny. Are you saying that by starting revenge in earnest, I will become tyrannical?”
“Yes.”
“I see.”
Fortunately, Cecilia seemed to be convinced and did not ask any more questions.
“I think it’s right for you to be by my side and assist me well.”
In the end, I can’t escape Cecilia’s grasp her now …
If you think about it, it was really funny.
I tried to bounce before she became her tyrant. But Cecilia, who is destined to become a tyrant, demands that she be caught so that she does not become a tyrant.
Can I do well?
To be honest, I still wasn’t sure. If you do it wrong, you run the risk of being caught up in her tyranny.
But I never had the option to reject it in the first place.
As Cecilia’s direct secretary, she cannot refuse the emperor’s orders.
There was a condition that I would consider resigning if I completed my revenge on the noble faction.
“Your majesty. “What if?”
Still, there was one thing that bothered me, so I spoke out carefully.
“Let me tell you.”
“Because I could not assist Your Majesty properly…” ” … If you become a tyrant, then…”
“Hehe. “You say something interesting.”
Cecilia lightly pinched my cheek with her right hand. I shook my shoulder at this unexpected action.
“I believe you will do well. Because it has been like this until now.”
I could sense a deep sense of trust in Cecilia’s tone of her.
And that was the final reason why Cecilia’s offer could not be rejected.
That I don’t want to betray your trust in me.
When she submitted her resignation, she was prepared to break that trust…
Now that the situation is like this, I want to protect trust even more.
‘Okay. When we break up, it might be better to break up beautifully.’
“So, what is the answer?”
“I will do my best to help.”
“Hmm. That’s an answer I like very much.”
A satisfied expression appeared on her face as she nodded. Only right after that did he let go of my cheek that had been pinched.
“…”
“…”
What followed was an awkward moment of silence. Even though the conversation was roughly over, Cecilia was still holding her body close to mine.
“Hey, Your Majesty. “Is it possible that your majesty was thinking of attacking me in the middle of the night?”
Why would Cecilia do something like this to improve her relationship with me?
If I knew her, it’s something she would never have thought of. She wouldn’t have done anything.
In other words, it was possible for her to make a reasonable guess that someone might have cheated on her in this way.
“Was the rice not that good?”
“It’s not like that…”
“That’s a very fortunate thing.”
Cecilia let out her long sigh. Although I don’t know what’s good about it.
“Actually, I sent a letter to my mother for advice.”
“Are you talking about Her Majesty, Empress Olivia?”
Cecilia nodded her head in the affirmative. Now that I think about it, she thought that if Cecilia were to be someone she could consult, she would have been the Empress Dowager or my father.
Among them, she probably chose her mother, Empress Olivia Sun.
So what on earth was written in the reply that led to this?
I asked her about this. Then, she slightly avoided my gaze as if she was embarrassed.
“To restore our relationship with you, it is not as an emperor…” ” … “She advised me that it would be good to approach her as a woman.”
“Ah…”
“T, especially, Chi, if you knock me down on the bed… ” … I like it more…”
Judging by the way she kept talking, it seemed like she was quite embarrassed herself. Because when I listen to this, I feel the same way.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like Her Majesty the Empress was intentionally trying to make fun of her own daughter.
Still, Cecilia believed it with all her heart and put it into practice.
Cecilia, who could control her her empire her her hers, had such a pure side … It looked surprising and amazing and cute at the same time.
‘I’m crazy. So cute…’
“Luke. Say anything. Because I’m embarrassed…”
Cancel calling me crazy. The current Cecilia was definitely cute. More than when she wrote her her name her her her with her her ass her her her.
“Her Majesty Empress Cecilia.”
“…”
“That… “You’re cute.”
“!”
As soon as I finished speaking, Cecilia started shaking her body. I, who was trapped below, had to feel the shock of that moment.
“Ugh.”
“Gwae, are you okay?”
“Yes…”
Then she sighed as if she was relieved.
“Anyway, your ears are cute… “Are you trying to make fun of the emperor on the subject of secretary?”
“I am sincere, Your Majesty.”
“…”
The ruby colored eyes looking down at me were shining brightly. You can’t see it now, but his face is probably red.
And I felt heat on both my cheeks.
“Luke. You and I are now reconciled.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“However, reconciliation through words is clearly… There are limits.”
Why do you suddenly say something like that?
“So, I think we need to leave evidence that we have reconciled…” ” … “What do you think?”
“What can I do?”
After a while, an unexpected request came out of Cecilia’s mouth.
“Hold me.”
“!”
“Well, that’s enough…”
I never thought I would ask for something like this…
They had already almost hugged each other, but it was Cecilia who came first. Perhaps what she wants is a picture of me hugging her.
“Then I will raise my upper body.”
“Uh, yes.”
Cecilia raised her body first, and I followed suit.
As she was about to hug her, her heart started pounding. I took one deep breath and then opened her arms.
“I will hug you.”
“…”
Cecilia didn’t make a sound. She just bobs her head once.
I bent my upper body toward Cecilia as much as I could, then wrapped my arms around her slender back and her shoulders.
“…”
“…”
Cecilia’s small body her her her her her her fit comfortably into my arms her her her. Her body was like a beautifully carved statue of a goddess. Still, she had a warm body temperature, so the corners of her mouth went up without me knowing.
“Luke…”
Cecilia buried her face in my shoulder and let out her wet voice.
“It’s warm… ” …”
“Your Majesty is also warm.”
“It seems like we have reconciled properly.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”
After a moment of silence, Cecilia opened her mouth again.
“Thank goodness, is it the end?”
“I’m happy.”
“You should have answered that way a long time ago.”
Cecilia buried her face in my shoulder again.
Anyway, this… Isn’t that something that lovers do?
Suddenly, such a thought passed through my mind, and I slowly lowered my gaze. It seemed like Cecilia intended to stay like this.
‘Well, can we stay like this just a little longer?’
It wasn’t too bad for me to feel like her body temperature was warmly touching my heart.
* * *
After returning to her room, Cecilia immediately lay down on the bed. However, because her heart was still pounding, she could not fall asleep easily.
‘I can’t believe I was cuddling with Luke for so long… ‘ …’
As she closed her eyes, she naturally imagined Luke’s breath, body temperature, and the smell coming from his body at that moment.
What her mother said was right.
I am… She has Luke in her heart
‘He said he would consider resigning once he finished his revenge on the noble faction…’
Indeed, can we really allow his resignation?
I couldn’t guarantee it myself. How can you let someone you love go far away?
‘I can’t change this feeling now.’
Let’s be a little more proactive with Luke from now on.
Cecilia made a firm determination to herself.
* * *
Deep dawn.
“…”
Ilaina was watching Luke with a calm gaze. He had already completely collapsed about two hours ago.
Ileina bit her own lower lip gently.
She continued to be in this room, with Cecilia Rourke overlapping her body on her bed her her her her. Thanks to that, all the conversations and actions the two had had were engraved on the retina.
‘My heart feels numb…’
Ileina placed her left hand gently on her own chest. Then she curled her fingers ever so slightly.
“…”
I didn’t know where this tingling sensation originated. However, I was able to clearly recognize the cause of the pain.
‘Secretary Nedville. I am…’
As a Luna member, she herself warned me not to continue thinking. She Ilaina accepted the warning.
After lowering her hand from her chest, Raina closed her eyes and then slowly opened them.
I vaguely knew what this feeling was. But now it was time to sort things out.
Luke, who was like the sun, and himself, who was just a shadow, could not get along in the first place. Because the world we live in is different.
Therefore, he had to stick to his mission of guarding and observing Luke at the same time.
“I’m fine.”
With that, Ileina gathered her feelings.
No, she thought.
She was started when she felt a single tear flowing down her cheek. However, like an experienced Luna member, she did not make any sound.
All he could do was wipe away her tears her with her sleeve her her her. But her tears she didn’t stop there.
Ileina covered her own face her with her her handkerchief her her her, which she took from her pocket her her her. She never expected that the time to console her mind that she would come like this.
