Episode 218: Tea time between two maids

The next day.

A peaceful daily life like any other time has come. The workload itself has decreased significantly these days, perhaps because the founding of the nation is over and the trial for the former empress’s kidnapping case has also been concluded.

Thanks to this, I was able to work with a very relaxed mind.

“Mr. Luke.”

“Yes?”

As I took my eyes off the documents, I found Flora looking in this direction. As soon as their eyes met, Flora slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

“Are you still having a hard time with a lot of work these days?”

Are you trying to subtly point this out?

But looking at her expression, it seemed like she didn’t mean to do that. I would say it feels more like she’s just asking because she’s curious.

“No. It’s a bit easier these days.”

I answered in an indifferent tone, and not only Flora but also Mulia answered.

“That’s right. Because all the busy work has passed.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to breathe again.”

A faint smile appeared on Mulia’s face. Even though his tone was as calm as usual, seeing him smile like that during work clearly made him seem relaxed.

“Be thankful to me.”

And Cecilia, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, also opened her mouth. The three of us simultaneously jerked our heads towards the throne.

Cecilia was crossing her arms and showing her smug expression.

Now, go ahead and praise me.

It seems like they are forcing it.

“Sure. It’s all thanks to His Majesty’s benevolence.”

Flora, with her quick wit her her, was the first to pour out her praise.

“I am truly grateful, Your Majesty.”

I bowed my head to Cecilia,

“I will always be grateful to Your Majesty.”

Mulia ended this praise procession in style.

Cecilia moved her head up and down once with her eyes closed, as if she was satisfied.

“There’s one hour left until lunch time, so focus on work until then.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

All three of us answered at the same time and then looked back at the documents. But soon Flora spoke to me again.

“Hey, Mr. Luke.”

“Yes, Lady Flora.”

While answering, she glanced sideways toward the throne, just in case. Fortunately, Cecilia was just looking at the documents and she didn’t seem to pay much attention to us.

“Are you not planning on resigning now?”

Flora’s emerald eyes shine brightly.

It seems as if he wants me to give up my job…

But I had no intention of living up to Flora’s expectations of her, so I immediately shook her head.

“No. I did not give up my intention to resign.”

“Ah, I see…”

Flora put her lips forward like a duck. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with my answer. It was a bonus to give him a look of disappointment.

And Mulia, who was sitting next to Flora, also expressed her disappointment by shaking her head.

“What? “Don’t worry too much.”

Cecilia said in a tone that she was indifferent. I looked at her and saw that she was resting her chin and her eyes were fixed on her papers.

“Luke has decided not to submit his resignation to me for the time being.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Yes.”

Despite Flora’s question, Cecilia was still looking down at the documents.

“But Mr. Luke just said that he doesn’t give up…”

Mulia also joined the conversation, and only then did Cecilia turn her gaze to her maids.

“Luke promised something to me yesterday.”

“A promise?”

Flora asked in surprise, and Cecilia nodded yes.

“We agreed last night not to submit my resignation until we keep our agreement.”

“Yesterday…”

Mulia seems to be caught up in something strange…

“Right, Luke?”

Suddenly an arrow flew at me, but I didn’t panic and took it.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What on earth did you promise?” …”

Flora seemed to want to dig a little deeper. However, Cecilia did not tolerate this.

“Flora. “It is business time now.”

“Ah, yes, Your Majesty.”

Following Cecilia’s calm admonition, Flora immediately adjusted her posture, sat down, and began to focus on her documents. From then on, no one raised a voice in her office until her lunch hour approached.

* * *

After finishing her lunch, Flora invited her Mulia to go to her room.

“Why are you there all of a sudden?”

“I was thinking of having a little tea time.”

Flora arched her eyebrows and smiled. Only then did Mulia realize that Flora had something to share with her alone.

“Great. That wouldn’t be bad either.”

Mulia got up from her chair.

The two maids greeted Cecilia first. Flora then turned her head straight toward Luke.

“Mr. Luke. See you later!”

“Yes. “Please rest well.”

When Flora waved her hand her, Luke also responded with his hand her her her.

Only after exchanging greetings did the two maids leave the dining room. As soon as Flora entered her room, she instructed her maid, who was cleaning, to prepare her refreshments.

The two women sat at a round table and rested for a while, while the maid brought refreshments.

“Thank you. “You can just leave now.”

Flora gave her congratulations to her maid in her lively tone.

The two women savored the black tea poured into their teacups. The first person to rhyme was Flora.

“I’m just worried.”

“Is it like that for Flora?”

“You were worried too.”

“Of course.”

Mulia let out a short sigh, and Flora picked up a piece of biscuit from her plate. After swallowing it in one bite, Flora let out a sigh in her voice.

“What on earth did you promise last night?”

“Isn’t there a possibility that it is coercion in the name of a treaty?”

Mulia raised her question in a quieter voice than before. Flora narrowed her brows and thought for a moment.

“I don’t think there is a chance at all.”

“The atmosphere between His Majesty and Mr. Luke has not been very good recently due to the resignation letter issue.”

Flora shook her head in response to Mulia’s remarks.

In fact, it was true that Cecilia forced the agreement by force, as Mulia had predicted. However, she never considered the possibility that she would have done so while sitting on top of Luke while wearing a camisole nightgown.

“Then what on earth was the agreement?”

This time Mulia put her question mark her her.

“Well. “I have no idea.”

“Actually, I am too…”

The two of them sighed deeply, no matter who went first.

These days, there’s a lot that Cecilia doesn’t tell herself. Instead, she has more in common with Luke than before.

Flora and Mulia were long-time close friends of Cecilia and were a little upset about that.

“It would be great if you could tell us too.”

“I agree. However, Her Majesty Cecilia has a position as emperor, so we must understand.”

“Huh. That’s right.”

Flora nodded her head in agreement. Then she changed the topic in a different direction.

“But isn’t it a bit surprising to see it?”

“What is it?”

“When Count Milrod was your immediate secretary, you accepted my resignation right away. But why is Mr. Luke especially trying to catch him?”

“Oh, that’s definitely…” ” …”

The two then began to analyze in their heads with serious expressions on their faces. Why is Cecilia so intent on holding on to Luke?

‘Of course, I don’t want Mr. Luke to leave the imperial palace.’

So it was safe to say that Flora shared the same intentions as Cecilia. This was the same for Mulia.

If you think about it, there was only one reason why the two women actively agreed to capture Luke.

Because I have Luke in my heart.

In a word, it meant that there was love.

‘Then why is His Majesty trying to capture Mr. Luke?’

Mulia continued her thoughts with a slight frown.

Do you get caught by doing a good job?

There is a point. But is this reason enough for her to hold on so desperately?

‘No matter how much I think about it, I think there are more reasons than that…’

Before long, Mulia came to one conclusion. At the same time, Flora also looked at her Mulia with her eyes wide open.

“Mulia.”

“Flora.”

The two realized it right away. That we both reached the same conclusion.

The first to speak was Flora.

“I think it’s because His Majesty also harbors feelings for Mr. Luke?”

“I just thought that too.”

“As expected, we get along well.”

Flora smiled, raising the corners of her mouth, and Mulia nodded her head once.

“Actually, our Majesty pays a lot of attention to Mr. Luke in many ways. He also gave out rewards often.”

“Yes. Of course, there were things Mr. Luke did well, but there were things he wanted to take care of more.”

These two people know each other well. Cecilia knows the difference between public and private, even to her old friends.

However, he didn’t show much of that in front of Luke.

Moreover, there were many cases where the two of us did something alone in our room at night. Even if he was a direct secretary, it was rare for him to be called into a private space so often.

As they exchanged opinions up to this point, the two maids became more and more convinced.

That Cecilia likes Luke.

“Then how do you feel, Mr. Luke?”

“Well…”

Mulia trailed off her words, and then silence surrounded the two.

Then, without hesitation, I sighed deeply.

For Flora, it was because she remembered her car, and for Mulia, it was because she was discouraged by Cecilia’s thought that she would not be able to do it.

* * *

“Hitch.”

Cecilia, who was resting in an armchair in the room, suddenly sneezed.

Is someone talking about me? …

Rubbing her nose with her handkerchief, she rose from her chair. She checked the grandfather clock and saw that she had to be in her office in 30 minutes to start her afternoon work.

‘I need to do one thing before that.’

Cecilia got up from her chair and walked over to her desk. She put her handkerchief down on it and took her black whistle from the drawer. As she held it in her mouth and blew on it, Lucia appeared in the middle of the room.

“Meeting Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire.”

“Hmm. “Yes.”

Cecilia nodded and accepted her greeting. Then she told Lucia to raise her head.

“I would like to entrust you with a mission.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a serious expression appeared on Lucia’s face.

“From now on, you will keep an eye on the movements of the noble faction. In particular, mainly monitor Duke Montersen’s movements. “Report to me every night.”

“I will follow orders.”

Lucia disappeared in an instant, and Cecilia let out a soft sigh.

She vowed that she would definitely succeed in getting her revenge this time.
