I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With

Episode 24 Finally for me too!

Episode 24 Finally for me too!

“Ah, yes… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

I replied, but I can’t keep up with the situation.

While I was watching her, Cecilia made a woman named Ileina stand in front of her.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Cecilia’s room was bright enough that she could make out most things even though it was a dark night. Thanks to this, she was able to immediately notice that the woman standing in front of me was small in stature.

…… Perhaps because of the tights, you can barely see the curvature there.

As we kept silent, Cecilia stepped out.

“Ilayna. Let her take off her mask for a moment.”

“Yes.”

Your voice is clearer than I thought.

Ileina immediately removed her mask. Then she was able to face her properly, but the moment she saw her, she opened her eyes wide without realizing it.

She had gray hair that fell only to her shoulder blades. Her eyes, looking at me, had a pale blue color.

‘Is she prettier than I thought?’

But there was no expression on her face, so I felt cold.

“Ilayna. Introduce yourself.”

It was only after Cecilia gave her instructions that Il Reyna slightly bent her back.

“My name is Elaina, secretary.”

A very short and concise introduction.

Then, following Cecilia’s instructions, she put her mask back on.

“As I said before, this child will be in charge of escorting you. Even if you look at her like this, she is quite good at fighting, so you can trust her skills.”

“It’s Your Majesty’s word, so of course I don’t doubt it.”

I approached Ilayna and held out her right hand.

“My name is Luke Nedville. I am in charge of His Majesty’s direct secretary. I wish you well in the future.”

“… ….”

Ileina just looked down at my hand, and she didn’t react.

What is it? If this is the case, I’m embarrassed…….

As I contemplate whether I should let go of her hand or not,

“Yes.”

With a concise answer, Ilaina held my hand lightly. Her hand was quite small compared to mine.

‘I can really fight properly, right?’

Cecilia told me not to worry about her skills, so she will trust her for now……. Still, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Cecilia called the two women before her again.

“Lucia can go back now, and Ilayna will wait in my secretary’s room.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After answering, the two women suddenly disappeared in front of me!

I was staring at the scene with my own two eyes, and my mouth fell open.

“Whoops. You must have been very surprised.”

It was clear that my expression looked ridiculous to Cecilia. Otherwise, there’s no reason to laugh like that.

“Yes. It was as if she had used magic.”

“It is magic. To be precise, it should be called a magic tool.”

Cecilia moved her steps slowly and she sat down on the bed. Then she motioned for me to come over.

“Since I showed you Lucia and Elaina, I should also tell you. Aren’t you the kind of person who can’t stand being curious again?”

“You see right through me, Your Majesty.”

I bowed down.

“Those kids are called ‘Luna’, a secret unit made up of only women.”

For reference, this setting did not appear in the original work.

I think you know how much the original author messed up the details.

Thanks to that, all the hardships became my responsibility. Whew.

“I usually hide like a shadow, but if I give a signal with the whistle I just blew, it will show up anytime, anywhere.”

“So, does that mean that the whistle is also a magical tool?”

“Yes.”

Cecilia nodded her head once.

After that, Cecilia gave her explanation about the background of Luna’s creation and how it has been operated.

“I will only tell you this much about Luna. She doesn’t take questions.”

“I fully understood the explanation you gave.”

Cecilia’s ruby eyes stared at me. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth again.

“Finally, the only ones who know about Luna’s existence are me and my mother. You know very well what this means.”

“Never, she will not utter it anywhere, Your Majesty.”

I quickly gave Cecilia the answer she wanted. As expected, she nodded her head with a satisfied face as I expected.

Then she got up again.

“I have something to pass on to you.”

“Are you talking about that black whistle?”

“You are a competent secretary after all.”

Cecilia’s voice was filled with satisfaction.

She stabbed her once just in case, but it was the correct answer.

Cecilia flicked her index finger in this direction as she walked towards her desk. I quickly approached her.

“Here.”

I politely received Cecilia’s whistle from her sergeant. The one I received had a string so it could be hung around her neck as well.

If you wear this, you can call Ilayna anytime, anywhere.

Of course, you have to hide it well under your clothes so that it won’t be seen by others.

“Be careful not to lose it. It’s a magic tool that’s hard to find.”

“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”

I bowed 90 degrees and expressed my gratitude.

The fact that I have never seen Elaina’s skills yet is a worrying factor. But she said Cecilia said she can trust her, so she has to trust her.

Still, thinking that I had one escort to protect me made me feel very reassured.

* * *

A few days have passed since that day.

I didn’t respond to the suspicious person’s request, but fortunately I haven’t been harmed so far.

The same daily life, wrestling with documents as always, continued.

Ah, I’d rather hurt my hand and rest…….

A series of peaceful days that make you think that way.

Today too, as I was busy doing my morning work, it was almost time for lunch before I knew it.

“Go to the dining room.”

Cecilia was just getting up from her throne when there was a knock on the door of her office.

– Smart.

The person who came here was the owner of the house, and she said that there was someone who urgently requested an audience with Cecilia.

“You guys should move first. I will have an audience and come.”

That’s how Me, Flora, and Mulia moved to the dining room first. The three of us were seated first, but decided to wait until Cecilia arrived.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Cecilia returned.

“What? Your majesty. Did something good happen to you?”

Flora examined Cecilia’s complexion, and she immediately asked her question. It was clear that Cecilia’s expression was more elevated than usual, and she could see it.

However, instead of answering, Cecilia took her seat. She rolled her eyes, surveyed the three of us, then opened her mouth.

“The long-awaited news has arrived.”

“Which one?”

I asked a question this time.

A smile quickly appeared on Cecilia’s lips.

“They say they succeeded in subjugating the monsters.”

“!”

At that one word, the ladies-in-waiting, including me, made a surprised expression.

As Cecilia said, it was the news everyone had been waiting for.

“That’s great! There will be no danger to the empire now.”

Flora expressed her most dusty joy.

“I was very worried, but I am very glad to hear the good news.”

Mulia spoke in a calm tone, but her face showed a hint of delight.

At this point, I’ll be the last to speak…….

“It seems that such a good result came about thanks to Your Majesty’s bold decision. This, too, is all thanks to His Majesty.”

“I just decided to send troops. Thanks to their excellent fight, my people can sleep in peace.”

Even if she tried to float it somehow, Cecilia only calmly responded.

Should I say that it is very correct or that it is naive…….

But, well, it was nice to see it rather than getting drunk on your own pride. On the other hand, I felt a sense of discord when someone like this later became a tyrant.

“They say it will take ten more days for the knights to return, so we should prepare to welcome them with grandeur.”

“Before that, how about holding a noble meeting tomorrow?”

I want to avoid talking about work while eating, but this time I can’t help it.

I just heard the good news about the successful subjugation of monsters, and I need to prepare in advance for the work that will happen after that.

“Hmm. I must do as you say. It would be best to share this good news with all the nobles gathered.”

“You have worked hard, Your Majesty.”

Mullia bowed lightly, and Flora and I followed suit and slightly bowed her neck toward her.

“I am just doing what I have to do as an emperor.”

After lunch, Cecilia immediately gave an announcement about the meeting of the nobles tomorrow.

* * *

The next day, Cecilia held a noble meeting at 9 am.

On the spot, she delivered the news of her success in subjugating monsters as her first agenda item.

“Good news!”

“Oh. What a relief!”

“They deserve to be praised for their hard work in delivering the news of victory!”

Regarding this agenda, voices of delight erupted from the royal family as well as the aristocratic faction.

“We were just about to discuss what we should do to honor them for their hard work. I want you to express your opinion without hesitation.”

As soon as Cecilia finished speaking, members of the imperial family all raised their hands and asked for permission to speak.

When requesting the dispatch, he only looked at his eyes with a big wink…….

Perhaps it was because I was once disappointed with them, even such an aggressive look didn’t look good. It felt like a desperate struggle to make up for the last mistake.

Occasionally opinions came from the aristocratic faction, but generally nothing was helpful.

Having a parade for them after so many discussions. And the final conclusion was to hold a banquet to celebrate the monster subjugation in the imperial family.

As I was transferring the contents of the discussion to paper, I suddenly felt a gaze.

‘Is it because of my mood?’

Still, I looked around just in case. Before long, I knew for sure that there was someone staring at me.

His name is the Marquis of Marlborough.

…… But why are you twisting like that?

Like someone who has a grudge against me.

“Anyway, I don’t like him.”

I muttered in a very low voice.

* * *

The Marquis of Marlborough had been keeping an eye on Luke Nedville since the start of the noble meeting.

I was wondering how the hell did he have the guts to reject the letter he sent.

Of course, I deliberately didn’t write the sender in the letter, but it was just to look at that kid.

It wasn’t like he didn’t consider the possibility of not responding to the letter at all.

However, when Luke didn’t respond to the meeting request, his pride was hurt. It doesn’t hurt much, but it’s a very unpleasant scratch.

From noble mtl dot com

‘It’s all thanks to that woman for being so bold, right?’

While I was thinking that, I met Luke’s eyes.

“… ….”

No, it seemed that he was the only one who thought he had encountered it. Luke quickly lowered his gaze to the paper.

‘I’ll make you regret it forever, kid.’

Marlboro tutted, clicking her tongue.
