Ep11 A Sudden Proposal

After the honey-like break, the afternoon work began.

Work starts at 2:00 PM, but I headed to the office 10 minutes earlier than that.

Why?

My Empress likes to start early.

FYI, I tend to protect myself even after work. Of course, only if all paperwork is completed within business hours.

What if the work is not finished by 7:00 pm, the closing time?

It is confirmed that you will go to work overtime without any frills!

‘Today, I hope that there is not too much work…….’

After praying internally, I knocked on the door of the office. Then, Cecilia’s voice told her to come in from the inside.

I touched the cravat one more time and went into the office.

Not only Cecilia, Floa and Mulia were already taking their places.

At times like this, I feel very humble.

Still, I came 10 minutes earlier than on time, but I wonder if I noticed that the people with the best jjambab took the seats first.

“… ….”

Fortunately, no one pointed this out.

Flora nodded with a smile on her lips.

She was the only woman here who had a crush on me and treated me kindly. Well, it’s definitely not like the opposite s*x, though.

Cecilia only watched my every move with a blunt face that made it hard to know what she was thinking.

And finally, Mulia,

“… ….”

She looked at me for a moment, but as soon as her eyes met, she turned her head sideways.

Well, that’s a natural reaction.

Less than two hours have passed since she threatened me with her threats.

So I decided not to respond separately.

There’s absolutely no reason for me to force myself to approach something the other side says they don’t like first, right?

Soon I arrived at my seat. There were already piles of papers on the desk.

At first glance, there are roughly 150 copies.

It is possible to leave work with a very high probability!

Thanks to that, the corner of my mouth tried to ascend, but I forcibly corrected my expression.

“Did everyone get enough rest?”

There was dignity in his low voice. But the tone itself was pretty good.

Maybe it’s because he’s the same age as me.

“Sure, Your Majesty!”

“Yes. Your majesty.”

Flora and Mulia responded first. Now I just have to answer.

“Yes, Your Majesty. With His Majesty’s grace, I was able to fully rest.”

“… ….”

Cecilia just stared at me. A look that doesn’t understand the English language.

A bit too much?

“…… Let’s get to work.”

As soon as Cecilia’s instructions were given, her ladies-in-waiting went into work mode.

I also picked up the papers to keep up, but the look in Cecilia’s eyes earlier made me curious.

‘Was the comment too cheap?’

Recently, when answering questions from the Empress, I try to answer as sincerely as possible.

There is no change in my intention to submit my resignation letter within the next year. But for that year, I need to look good so no matter what I do, I will be able to avoid arousing suspicion.

For that, I’m trying to please Cecilia as much as possible.

This is really not as easy as I thought.

Does it feel like your throat is sore because you did something you weren’t supposed to do?

But that doesn’t mean it’s strange to stop something that has already started. So, you have to get used to it as much as possible.

At this point, I stopped thinking and focused on my work.

After working hard, occasionally moistening her throat with the black tea the maid prepared, it was almost time for work.

“Everyone, have you finished all the work for today?”

Everybody stopped moving at Cecilia’s voice.

Flora, who sits right next to her, has already finished her work.

It was the same with Mulia, who was sitting opposite.

And I, too, had just finished the last paperwork.

“We are all done, Your Majesty.”

Flora’s tone was slightly brighter than during the day.

From noble mtl dot com

Is it because it’s been a long time since I left work?

Cecilia gave her head a satisfied nod.

“Everyone did a great job. Just go back and rest.”

Cecilia got up from her chair and left her office with the hem of her red dress flying. Mulia followed right behind him.

I think I need to lie down and rest.

Take a break and think about your plans for the future.

I was about to leave the office after freeing him by bending his neck from side to side.

“Mr. Luke.”

Suddenly, Flora stopped me.

“Yes. What is it, the young lady of the Marquis Simonion?”

“Aww. You can call me Lady Flora comfortably.”

Flora folded her eyebrows and laughed.

She’s already cute, but her cuteness doubled even more when she smiled. Plus, since it’s a pink twin tail style, I felt like I looked younger than my age.

Well, he’s actually the same age as me.

What did you call me for anyway?

“Shall we talk about something important for a moment?”

Flora blew her wink.

Um…….

But my worries did not last long.

Flora is the least comfortable of all the people she works with in her office.

And most of all, what kind of man would resist a woman so cute?

“Good!”

* * *

Flora took me to a drawing room on the first floor of the imperial palace.

“This is originally a place only for Your Majesty, me, and Mulia.”

“Is it okay if I come in?”

“Whoops. I gave permission, so it’s okay.”

After Flora answered in a bright tone, she opened the parlor door. She

She went inside and saw a sofa long enough to sleep on and luxurious furniture.

As expected, Her Majesty’s place is different no matter what.

Still, she didn’t feel as strange as when she first came to the imperial palace. After living here for over a month, I got used to it.

We sat facing each other on the couch.

“I heard from Mulia today. I heard she told Mr. Luke not to be friendly with me?”

Oh…… You’re taking the main point out of the way.

But it was better that way.

Ordinary nobles tend to talk about the weather before they get to the point.

“Did Countess Fordward tell you?”

“Yes. I guess it was made to speak directly.”

A strangely sinister smile appeared on her face. Did I do something unimaginable?

But now was not the time to be curious about such things.

“But is there any other reason why you are telling me that?”

“Even if I look like this, I’m a person who secretly worries a lot. So, if the relationship between our Mulia and Mr. Luke continues to go wrong, um, I wonder if it bothers me.”

“Oops. You made me worry too much.”

I was a bit shy, so I only touched the nape of my neck.

“Right. It made me very concerned. Both Mr. Luke and Mulia.”

Flora narrowed her brows with her index finger raised.

Your expression really changes from moment to moment.

It is very rare to see Mulia and Cecilia.

“That’s why I’ve been thinking since I heard the story. What should I do to make the relationship between the two of them better?”

“Hmm. You did.”

“Oh my God. Are you reacting like someone else’s story?”

Yeah, actually, I wasn’t paying much attention.

However, it is impossible to speak openly to the young lady of the Marquis.

“I was reflecting on myself, wondering if it was because I was a lacking person that the Lady of Count Fordward didn’t like me. But in order to be properly recognized, shouldn’t we be recognized for our own strength? Even if it takes some time.”

This word has two meanings.

One is the appeal of paying attention in my own way, unlike what it looks like on the outside.

The other is to make it clear that she doesn’t think badly of Mullia.

“That makes some sense.”

The way Flora nodded her head, it looked like she had been properly eaten.

“But it won’t be as easy as you think, Mr. Luke.”

Flora raised her index finger and raised the corner of her mouth to her side. Because of that coy smile, her cute face instantly took on a bewitching look.

“Can I tell you a secret?”

“Confidential?”

She stood up from the sofa instead of answering her question. Then she came towards me.

Sarak. Sarak.

The hem of her dress fluttered with each step Flora took. It moves like a butterfly flying around in the gentle spring breeze.

Soon, Flora sat down next to me.

She left only a breathtaking distance that she could barely reach!

“Uh, the Marquis Lady? Suddenly what…….”

“Ah. Just in case.”

What the heck is that?

She wanted to ask, but she couldn’t move her lips because she was overwhelmed by her bewitching air. In addition, her subtle body scent tickled the tip of her nose.

“It’s just the two of us right now, but someone might be listening, right?”

“Oh, that’s right. I got it…….”

“Whoops.”

Flora covered her mouth with her hand and she laughed. Her emerald eyes contained a light that made me feel cute.

Perhaps it’s because I look flustered and flustered.

But I couldn’t help it.

Even if you slightly lower your gaze…… A hideous weapon reminiscent of a melon suddenly comes into view!

Not as much as Emma, but…….

“You’re not like usual, Mr. Luke. You look cute like this.”

“Ah, ha ha ha… ….”

After laughing awkwardly, Flora finally put her main point in her mouth.

“Yes. It leaked like this again in her other way. What I’m going to tell you is not really a secret. But as long as you don’t tell Mulia, that’s enough.”

At that point, Flora came out and moved about a hand’s distance away from me. I was then able to relax.

Besides Emma, this is the first time I’ve ever had a girl hook up like this…….

I calmed my pounding heart before opening my mouth.

“I will never tell the lady of Count Fordward, so tell me what it is.”

“Actually, to her…… I have phobia of men.”

“Man, do you have squeamishness?”

I don’t think I’ve seen such a setting in the original work.

But seeing Flora with a rare serious expression on her face made me think that might be the case.

Since Flora and Mulia have been friends with Cecilia for nearly 10 years, they must know each other’s secrets.

“Does that mean that no matter how hard I try, I can’t get any closer?”

Hmm. Then she pretends Mullia is gone and she’ll have to live.

Just as I was about to fall into trouble,

“Put.”

Flora laughed.

“The Marquis’s daughter?”

“I made a joke once, but you believe me right away. Thank you, Mr. Luke.”

“Ah… ….”

I didn’t expect her to tease me like this.

“If someone close to Countess Fordward says that, of course I believe it!”

Flora couldn’t stop laughing, as if she was having fun with my loud protest.

She stopped laughing after a while and said that Flora would talk properly.

“As you know, Mr. Luke is timid. He is also very wary of strangers. So it takes a long time to get close.”

“That…… Is it confidential?”

“Yes!”

…… I’ve been fishing

Recognizing that fact, I laughed out loud.

“Still, I’m so glad we got to talk like this. I think I got to know a little better what kind of person Luke is.”

Seeing her bright smile, her slightly hardened heart melted like snow.

“I was also happy to talk to a beautiful person.”

“Oh my gosh, that’s Aritapa. Your eyes are very accurate.”

It was a genuinely happy expression and voice.

But she was so busy chatting that she couldn’t come to a conclusion on the really important topic. Just in time, Flora seemed to have realized that too.

“Do you have anything else to do this weekend?”

“No. I’ll probably rest in my room.”

“Good job! Then Mullia, I, and Her Majesty should hold a social gathering. I’ll ask His Majesty today, so Luke-san, you can hang on to your worries.”

Isn’t that a bit sudden?

But Flora is my direct supervisor.

It is also my own effort to bring me and Mulia closer.

She has no reason to refuse.

“Yes. I’ll make time for it.”

Well, it’s a matter of tidying up the day and fitting it in moderation.
