I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With

235 – Episode 235 Sorry!

Episode 235 Sorry!

To be honest, I was worried.

When Il Reina rejects her sincere confession, she wonders if something is going on.

Fortunately, our relationship didn’t become awkward that quickly.

“Good morning, Secretary Nedville.”

The morning after I refused to confess.

Ilaina greeted me in the morning with her usual expression and voice. I responded to her greeting her with a light smile.

From then on, she faithfully performed the role of my escort and assistant maid. Thanks to this, I was able to treat her as usual with peace of mind.

“Secretary. We will arrive at the imperial palace soon.”

The coachman’s voice informing me of this was brighter than usual. Perhaps it is because I feel joy at having safely returned from my journey.

Because, I was experiencing similar feelings right now.

Familiar street scenes, people’s clothing, and even lively appearances. Seeing the scenery I had always seen for the first time in a month made me feel sad.

Of course, there will be a mountain of things to think about in the future…

I wonder how many people would apply for the position of direct secretary.

And more than anything, I needed to check my heart. It was about what Russell had told me the other day, that he had feelings for Cecilia.

Do I really like Cecilia?

Or maybe she suddenly became aware of it because she heard it from Russell.

‘Really, why did that kid suddenly say such a stupid thing, Won.’

I clicked my tongue for no reason.

“Secretary?”

“It’s nothing.”

I shook my head and looked again at the scenery of people outside the window.

The carriage finally passed through the gate of the imperial palace grounds.

“I’ll be there soon.”

“Yes, Secretary.”

Nodding her head, Ileina was still dressed in her maid’s attire. Let’s ask if she doesn’t have to change,

“I’m going to say hello to the driver and then change.”

Ilayna answered in a neat voice.

Eventually, the carriage stopped in front of the main gate of the main palace. I got off the carriage while being greeted by Ilayna.

Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia were standing side by side in front of the front door. This may be thanks to the fact that the postal department employee, who left a few days ago, informed Cecilia of my arrival date in advance.

“Secretary Luke Nedville.”

As soon as our eyes met, Cecilia took a step forward. Anyway, why are you making such a dignified voice?

First, I lowered my posture while answering.

“You have done a great thing for me. In that sense… “I will give you a day of rest today.”

“I am very grateful, Your Majesty.”

It’s a good thing since I was already exhausted.

But, there was really a reason to weigh in just because of that?

“…”

“…”

When I thought there was an awkward silence between me and Cecilia,

“Phew.”

Flora burst out laughing. Then Mulia, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and laughed, shaking her shoulders. Finally, a playful smile spread across Cecilia’s lips.

‘It was a tough situation.’

To be honest, I’m just confused as to why this is fun.

“I just wanted to try something like this.”

“If His Majesty was happy, that is enough.”

As Cecilia kept her smile she motioned for me to come over. I walked right up to her and she grabbed my right hand

I ended up making a dumbfounded voice at the sudden situation.

“Your majesty? Why are you suddenly holding my hand…”

“I just wanted to hold it like this.”

A soft smile appeared on her face. And I felt my heart beating faster than usual.

Russell, that b*stard makes me conscious of it for no reason…

While she was cursing Russell in her mind, Flora, who was standing behind her, made a trumpet with her hand and shouted.

“Your majesty!” How can you say that so suddenly?”

Then Flora came striding towards me, and she hugged me.

“Luke sir. “I missed you.”

And then he even rubbed his cheek against my clothes!

In addition to Flora’s aggressive attacks her, her pleasant scent began to irritate my nose, and I fell into a daze.

“F-Flora! “So uncultured!”

Mulia shouted, but Flora was already listening with one ear. Cecilia started stroking my hand as if she wasn’t going to lose.

“Hey, Lady Mulia. Make me…”

“…”

I asked for help because I thought this wasn’t going to work, and she came towards me with an expression on her face that seemed like she had made up her mind.

Even if you don’t say anything, you’re here to help.

… I thought so, but it wasn’t.

“Now that it’s like this, I can’t be the only one left out.”

Mulia wrapped her left hand, which was empty.

“That…”

It was the first time in my life that I received such a fierce welcome.

However… When can I go to my room like this?

I carefully asked Cecilia.

“Just a little longer.”

Because of that instruction, I had to stand still.

“And Flora, Mulia. “You need to get away from Luke right now.”

“Then Your Majesty must let go at the same time!”

“Luke is my secretary.”

“Flora and I are close colleagues of Mr. Luke.”

… So how long do I have to stay like this?

* * *

After barely being freed from them, I was submerged first in the hot water. After that, I changed into comfortable clothes and lay down on the bed.

After yawning profusely, I tried to fall asleep. But then,

-Knock knock.

A cheerful knock was heard.

Who is it?

As I approached the door, I asked who it was.

“It’s us, Mr. Luke!”

Why are Flora and Mulia at this time?

I turned my gaze to the grandfather clock. The clock hands were pointing to 1:20 PM.

There was still time for lunch break.

I could roughly guess why they came. It’s probably because I’m sad because we couldn’t talk properly earlier.

Well, no.

When I opened the door, I was able to see Flora and Mulia smiling.

“What’s going on?”

“You’ve been to the Kingdom of Hermoa. “I think you brought something interesting to talk about.”

As Flora spoke in her cheerful voice, Mulia next to her nodded her head.

As expected, it was exactly what I expected.

I let the two women into my room. Then, they brought two stools in front of my desk. They said thank you and sat down on the stool.

“Mr. Luke. What was the capital of the kingdom like?”

As soon as I sat down on my desk chair, Flora immediately asked a question. The eyes of the two women staring at me were full of anticipation.

I said that King Damas showed me around the famous places of Holem, the capital, and I told a story about it.

“Even though it is a neighboring country, it certainly looks very different from our empire.”

Looking at Mulia’s curious expression of her, it seemed like she had never been there before.

“Wow. It’s still famous there. “I’ve only been there once when I was young, but it’s a place that still lingers in my memory.”

On the other hand, Flora recalled her own childhood memories and responded to my story.

“Flora, her daughter has already been to the Kingdom of Hermoa.”

“Yes. I hope I can go again someday.”

Flora laughed heartily.

Next, Mulia asked me with a serious expression.

“Mr. Luke. By the way, have you met the hero Russell?”

“Yes. Fortunately, my request to meet was accepted.”

Then the two people looked at me with even more curiosity. Even though he didn’t express it, he seemed to be waiting anxiously.

Cecilia wouldn’t have risked her knowledge.

“Then… Did you find out what Duke Montersen talked about with Hero Russell?”

A nervous look appeared on Mulia’s face her her her her. Flora was just looking at me with her eyes wide open.

I informed them that Duke Montersen had requested support for a rebellion. At the same time, he immediately added an explanation that Russell did not accept this.

“Oh my goodness! That old man had such a plan…”

Flora covered her mouth with her hand, looking shocked.

“…”

Mulia was completely speechless and could not make a sound.

“I don’t think Duke Montersen will do anything right now. “Hero Russell still hasn’t responded.”

“I’m still worried…”

Mulia muttered softly and Flora nodded her head in agreement.

It seems like the atmosphere has become too serious, so let’s talk about something else.

“Oh, and I was a bit surprised when I met Russell in person.”

“Why?”

The two women’s faces immediately turned into curious expressions. After a brief pause, I told him that Russell was very handsome.

As expected, the two people showed signs of interest. But that didn’t last long.

“But in my eyes, Mr. Luke is more handsome.”

“I think so too.”

Flora and Mulia said those words while looking at me.

“If you suddenly launch it, nothing will come out.”

“Oh my, you must be embarrassed?”

Flora twitched her eyebrows and smiled strangely.

“I have to say that she looks good-looking often from now on. Right, Mulia?”

“Yes. If it’s Luke, other women will pay attention.”

The calm atmosphere quickly disappeared, and the friendly atmosphere returned.

But really, why are they suddenly boarding a plane?

“I really don’t look good…”

“No. In my eyes, it’s the coolest.”

“I feel the same way as Flora.”

Seeing them speak so strongly, it seemed like they truly believed that.

Why?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the reason.

* * *

In the evening, Cecilia called me into the room.

“Please take a seat.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After seeing that Cecilia was sitting in her armchair, I took the stool there. As soon as I sat down across from her, she let out a deep sigh.

“I have been thinking about a response since receiving the report from you, but… “There is no way to do it right now.”

“Even if we try to attack the Montersen duchy first, there seems to be no choice as there is no justification right now.”

“Have you thought about something of your own?”

“Like your Majesty, I decided it was best to wait and see for now.”

“As expected.”

She nodded as if she understood.

“But is the only consolation that Russell is not involved?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After that, there was silence for a while. Cecilia twisted her own hair with her fingers, then untangled it again and again.

“Let’s get over this issue for now… ” … Did Ilaina help you well?”

“Yes, I was able to travel with peace of mind thanks to Ilaina.”

“Thank goodness.”

But why are you asking this?

Is it just curiosity?

While I was thinking about this and that, Cecilia asked another question.

“Did anything else happen?”

At that moment, without realizing it, I remembered the moment I received Confession from Ilayna. As her shoulders flinched and trembled, Cecilia immediately narrowed her eyes.

“Hmm. Looks like something happened?”

Why do I have to think of that…

“Nothing special happened.”

“Tell me. Isn’t it a secret story between you and me anyway?”

But it was clear that Ilayna would get into trouble if she said this. When she said again that it wasn’t a big deal, Cecilia narrowed her eyebrows slightly.

“Luke. “I hope you have as little to hide from me as possible.”

If I held out any longer, I felt like I would be in trouble.

Even so, these days, whenever Cecilia is alone with me, she uses her name like a cheat.

After all, this may have been planned from the moment you came here.

“Actually…”

“…”

“Ilaina told me… “I confessed my feelings.”

“…”

Cecilia’s face slowly turned into astonishment, and I cried out loudly in my heart.

Sorry, Ilaina!
