I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With

237 – Episode 237 It’s Called Lovesick

Episode 237: Love sick

“Luke! Are you in a lot of pain?”

“Mr. Luke. Are you okay?”

“What should I do…”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed because I received an unexpected and excessive reaction.

The reason I was faced with this situation was because right after I said good morning to Cecilia in the office, I said I wanted to be examined by the imperial doctor.

And the women’s fuss did not end there.

“Be there. “I need to check your temperature.”

Cecilia rose from her throne,

“No. “I’ll take a look!”

Flora tried to climb over the desk and approach me. Lastly, Mulia,

“I happen to have a good medicine for body aches.”

While saying this, he started rummaging through the desk drawer.

While I was saying that, Cecilia and Flora arrived by my side at the same time. And the first person to put her hand on my forehead was Flora.

“Uhm…”

Just in case, I looked at Cecilia’s expression out of the corner of my eye and saw that she had a slightly sullen expression. As if he was dissatisfied with losing his turn

“It looks like you barely have any fever?”

Flora removed her hand from my forehead and tilted her head. Then, as if Cecilia had been waiting,

“Where.”

I put my palm to my forehead her

At that moment, the pleasant scent coming from Cecilia’s shiny hair tickled the tip of her nose.

“Hmm…”

I felt her focus her entire attention on my body temperature. And my heart started beating a little faster than usual.

“I feel like I have a bit of a fever… ” …”

Cecilia looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“You had a fever, Your Majesty?”

“It felt that way to me.”

“Oh, that’s strange.”

While the two women discussed my condition, Mulia approached me.

“Are you sick with a cold? “If you eat this, you will be fine.”

Mulia held out her medicine bag to me with worried eyes. She was grateful to Mulia for taking her medicine for me, but she didn’t need it right now.

“Thank you, but it’s okay. “I’m not sick enough to take medicine.”

“Ah… I see.”

Mulia took the medicine bag back.

“Luke. Let’s go to the palace doctor right now. “If you’re not feeling well, I’ll give you a day off today.”

“It’s not like you deserve a break, Your Majesty. “I just want to check the status.”

Despite her reassurance, Cecilia’s ruby eyes showed concern. There was also concern in Flora and Mulia’s eyes.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I hope you don’t have any trouble.”

I greeted them and left the office. To be honest, I was grateful for the concern and interest, but I was also embarrassed because it was a bit excessive.

Well, will there come a time when I will miss this in the future?

I walked slowly along the hallway.

I suddenly remembered that there was something I needed to ask Cecilia about since I returned. About the total number of applicants for direct secretary position this time.

“I’ll have to go and ask first.”

Fortunately, the Imperial Palace Physician was present in the councillor’s office. As soon as I went inside, he welcomed me.

“Oh, Secretary Nedville. “What brought you here?”

“I feel like my physical condition has become strange recently.”

The imperial palace doctor was an adult who had been working at the imperial palace for 30 years. I bowed to the imperial court and then sat down on the stool.

The imperial court sat on the chair across from her, stroking her white beard that reached down to her neck.

“Oh. Where are the symptoms?”

The imperial court examined my complexion with her benevolent eyes. I told you about my recent feelings. He said he was usually fine, but suddenly his heart started pounding.

“Hmm…”

The imperial palace doctor, speaking in her divine voice, also asked another question.

“When does it usually happen?”

“Just…”

“Haha. If you say that, you can’t make an accurate diagnosis.”

The imperial court laughed at her bright smile. That’s what happens when I take a pause and then think of someone, she added. As she spoke, she lowered her gaze because she felt an unexplainable sense of shame.

“Hmm. Only when I think of someone…”

The imperial court shook her head a few times and then she let out a laugh.

“There’s no need to even get to the bottom of this.”

“Is that so?”

“That’s right.”

It seemed like the royal doctor had figured out my condition just from my comprehensive explanation.

“This is a disease that has been around for a very long time. Anyone can get it easily, and it’s surprisingly easy to get better.”

“…”

Looking at the Emperor’s expression, it seemed like there was still more to talk about. I quietly closed her mouth and listened to what she said.

“But there is no medicine for this disease. A complete cure can only be achieved by obtaining results in some way.”

“Well, what kind of disease is it?”

When she asked her question carefully, the corners of her mouth raised as if she had been waiting for the palace doctor. That kind smile was like a grandfather looking at his grandchild.

“It’s lovesickness.”

“…”

I just turned into a stone statue.

* * *

Even after her lunch, Cecilia and her maids continued to worry. I explained several times that it was no big deal.

She said, “You didn’t even need to take a pulse.”

“If the palace doctor diagnosed it that way, it means she didn’t have much to worry about.”

Only then did a look of relief appear on Cecilia’s face. Afterwards, Flora and Mulia also expressed relief, saying they were fortunate.

“Your majesty. “I will rest in my room.”

“I understand.”

After saying hello to Cecilia, I immediately left the dining room. But after a while, I felt a figure walking behind me.

“Mr. Luke.”

“Lady Mulia?”

I stopped and looked back, and only then did Mulia stop too.

“Luckily you didn’t go far.”

She sighed and came closer to me.

“Do you have anything to do with me?”

Mulia hesitated after hearing my question. I waited quietly for her to move her lips. Fortunately, after some time had passed, she said her business.

“If… Would you like to go to the library with me? If you’re not feeling well, I can go alone…”

Contrary to the content, Mulia’s amethyst eyes were filled with earnestness.

Fortunately, her health was fine, so she didn’t think hanging out with Mulia would be a bad idea. It was a good thing since it had been so long since I had been to the library.

… In fact, if I just rested in my room, lovesickness would keep lingering in my mind. In that case, it would have been much better to do something else.

“Lady Mulia, please go alone.”

“Oh, yes. I’m sorry, Mr. Luke.”

When Mulia tried to bow her head, I raised my right hand and stopped her.

“Just joke. Let’s go together.”

I smiled kindly. She blinked her eyelids for a moment as if she didn’t understand the situation, but then narrowed her eyebrows slightly.

“I… “I’m just saying this just in case. I just wanted to give it a try.”

“I’m not angry.”

For something like that, your tone is strangely sharp, isn’t it?

But the next moment, a faint smile appeared on Mulia’s lips.

“Please joke with me sometimes from now on. “I don’t hate that kind of thing.”

“I thought I had done a great disservice to Lady Mulia.”

“I’m not that flexible.”

Mulia’s tone became brighter than before. This situation seemed to bring her joy.

We stood side by side and walked.

The imperial palace library was located at the eastern end of the first floor. When I almost reached the library, Mulia suddenly spoke to me.

“Mr. Luke. “Can I ask you one thing?”

“Yes. “If only I could answer.”

I answered calmly and then turned my head to the side. Mulia seemed to have noticed the presence of her and sent her gaze in this direction.

There was seriousness in her eyes

“In Mr. Luke’s opinion… “If I had a bright personality, what would you think?”

Why are you suddenly asking this?

It was the first thought that popped into my head. Instead of answering right away, I looked at her complexion.

Mulia seemed to be uncomfortable with my gaze her her her, so she lowered her gaze. Both her cheeks slowly turned red. When I saw that, I too was struck by a strange feeling.

Fortunately, even the heart did not react on its own.

If I got excited even in this situation, I’m just a mindless crazy person…

“Hmm. “I’ve never really thought about that.”

“Ah…”

Mulia lets out a soft sigh.

But I am not finished with what I have to say yet.

“But is it really necessary to have a bright personality?”

“Yes?”

“Everyone has different personalities. “Don’t you think so, Lady Mulia?”

“…”

Mulia opened her eyes wide and showed her blank expression. It was as if something had been pointed out to her that she had not even thought of.

“I think Lady Mulia’s appearance is fine. So don’t stress about that too much.”

“… Is it?”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t hear what she was saying so I asked her again and she said Mulia again.

“Really? The way it really is… Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

I looked at her and she nodded. Then, a smile slowly spread on Mulia’s face her her her her.

“Thank you, Mr. Luke.”

When he thanked me, he had a smile as bright as the sun.

“You’re welcome.”

But why are you so happy?

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

That evening.

Mulia sat in her desk chair and sighed occasionally. She stood at lunch today and replayed the conversation she had with Luke in front of her over and over again.

“He said it was okay as is.”

She literally just said she was fine, but as she replayed her memory her over and over again, Luke’s lines changed. But Mulia did not realize that fact at all.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

Mulia’s heart was beating loudly.

‘Also… This feeling is because it reminds me of Luke.’

And this feeling grew to a point where I couldn’t express it. She had already decided again and again to be brave. However, putting this into practice was not easy for her.

It was because of her timid personality.

It took Mulia a lot of courage to subtly ask Luke what he thought of his personality today.

“But can I express this feeling directly?” …”

Mulia gently placed her hands on her own heaving breasts. Just recalling the conversation she had with Luke makes her heart pound, and she wonders if confessing is even possible.

… No matter how much I thought about it, it felt like a very distant task.

“It would be nice if there was another way…”

Mulia rolled her head with her eyes tightly closed. It wasn’t long before a good idea occurred to her.

“I can write a letter.”

Mulia muttered to herself and immediately took out her stationery from her dresser. But when she tried to write the letter again, she felt ashamed.

“…”

Mulia let out her low, sour voice before she finally put down her quill. She then sighed, clutching her hair with both hands.

“What should I really do…”

Her deep concerns continued today as always
