Episode 246: Is it the emperor’s treasure?

“…”

Cecilia grabbed the hem of her blanket pulled up to her neck.

She had been to the Luna crew training site with Luke late at night, so her body was tired, but her mind was strangely clear.

The reason was a new concern that had arisen recently.

Cecilia let out a soft breath and gently lowered her eyelids. She then remembered a few days ago when she had gone up to the castle wall with Luke.

‘The hand she held back then was very reliable…’

Luke’s hand was about two knuckles bigger than his own. Thanks to this, I was able to hold my hand as if it were hugging me.

Moreover, the warmth of his palm had the power to warm not only his hands but also the depths of his heart.

I couldn’t explain this simply because I liked him.

There was a deeper reason.

“…”

And Cecilia guessed the reason to some extent.

Luke was a man she could truly rely on.

When she looked at him, Cecilia sometimes thought of her father, the late Emperor Holland Campbell Eckhart. And that too very naturally.

The father in Cecilia’s childhood memories was a person she could always trust and rely on. And now she was projecting that aspect to Luke.

In her mind, there was no other reason than that.

As long as we are human, it is inevitable to want to depend on someone. The only problem is that Cecilia holds the highest position in the empire.

“Ha…”

Feeling dizzy, she covered her forehead with her hand.

There is no law that says not to rely on the emperor. When making a decision on a major issue, you have to collect the opinions of both sides and make a decision.

In a way, this could also be said to depend on others.

However, a part of my heart has been feeling uneasy lately.

If I continue to rely on Luke like this, is it possible for me to call him ‘Emperor’?

Cecilia put her hand her under her her blanket her her and placed it gently on her her left breast her her her. Honestly, she wasn’t sure.

Is she really the emperor’s servant?

‘I can’t reveal my true feelings to anyone…’

That fact made Cecilia uncomfortable.

I can’t believe I have to stress over something like this when I don’t even know when Monte Lessen will launch an attack on her her imperial palace her her her…

Cecilia wanted to find out in some way her answer to this concern of hers. If there’s something that bothers her, she has a personality that needs to be resolved somehow.

Revealing Luna’s training grounds to Luke was an attempt to find an answer to her concerns.

Originally, information about Luna was known only to a very small number of people outside of the royal family. And not all information is disclosed even to a very small number of people.

The location of the training site was one of the top secret information.

However, Cecilia disclosed this to Luke on her own authority.

‘I still haven’t found an answer to my concerns…’

Cecilia clutched the hem of her blanket again and sighed.

However, as she continued to worry, one thing became clearer.

It was that she was growing increasingly convinced that she was not suitable for the position of emperor.

* * *

Even in the calm before the storm, daily life continued.

She could sleep with her feet stretched out in her room in the imperial palace, and she always went to her office with Cecilia.

In the meantime, I would leave for the office first, even if it was next door to hers. However, from now on, she decided to follow Cecilia’s request to go to work with her.

“Your majesty. Good morning.”

As soon as Cecilia opened the door and came out, I greeted her.

“Okay. Good morning to you too.”

Cecilia responded with a soft smile. Then she carefully held out her right hand. As if she was asking me to hold her.

I don’t know why Cecilia is like these days.

This makes her feel more like a girl of her age than an emperor.

‘I guess I’m really crazy too. Thinking like this about Cecilia…’

But it seems like this is unavoidable.

Because I already like Cecilia. I’m still a little embarrassed to confess this feeling, but…

“Luke.”

Her call woke me from my thoughts. I glanced down at her and saw Cecilia shaking her hand up and down slightly.

“Yes, Your Majesty. “I will do whatever you want.”

I lightly held her small hand, and I could see the smile on her lips.

“Go to the office.”

I escorted Cecilia and headed to her office. Flora and Mulia were already seated there.

As soon as the maids saw us holding hands, they opened their mouths and looked surprised.

“Your majesty!” Hold hands with Mr. Luke…”

Flora was speechless as we pointed to her clasped hands.

“…”

Mulia seemed to have completely forgotten what she was going to say.

Cecilia didn’t let go of my hand even after seeing their reaction. He even lifted it higher as if to show off.

“Your Majesty?”

Anyway, this is a bit embarrassing…

“Why are you doing that?”

She looked up at me with a completely clueless expression. Since you came out so shamelessly, I have nothing left to say.

In the end, I had to hold her hand and move to her throne as she wanted.

Cecilia waited for me to sit down before announcing the start of work. But not long after it started, a deacon came to the office.

“What’s going on?”

“Your majesty. “Baron Herald Nedville sent a reply via the Western Region.”

“Is that really true?”

The first to react was Cecilia. Then, I was also surprised.

It’s only been 10 days since I sent the letter, but I’m already getting a reply?

Just in case, she turned her head towards her maids. Flora and Mulia also had surprised expressions on their faces.

Cecilia immediately checked the reply she received from her butler.

“Hmm. I see.”

A satisfied smile appeared on her face. Flora asked about the contents of the reply.

“It was written in one short line, ‘I’ll go to the kiln as soon as possible.'”

I could only nod my head.

I didn’t think I would run all the way here after falling for the cheap provocation of ‘sniffing’ written in the letter. But I thought that if danger came to the imperial family, it would definitely come.

Because my father, Herald Nedville, is a man of men with a sense of justice!

‘And he is also a person who is loyal to the empire.’

When I remembered my father’s tendencies again, these thoughts followed. How on earth were you planning to persuade me to leave the empire?

… The first priority is to overcome the crisis that is just around the corner.

I regained my composition.

“Luke. “It turned out just as you assured me.”

“Yes. “I thought for sure he would come.”

“If you were Baron Nedville, you would eliminate pirates and save your Majesty. He said, “I’m excited to meet such a hero.”

Mulia seemed to know well about my father’s whereabouts.

“Ah! I heard this from my father before! They say I’m truly a natural fighter.”

There was a sparkle of interest in Flora’s emerald eyes

“I think that expression fits well. A natural fighter.”

“Now that I think about it, Flora, Mulia. Are your parents providing troops to our side?”

Cecilia changed the topic. The two maids informed that the family’s private soldiers are currently planning to come here.

“I’m so glad there are so many people helping me.”

A relieved smile appeared on Cecilia’s lips.

* * *

The next day, surprisingly, my father arrived at the imperial palace.

To come all the way here just one day after receiving the reply…

It takes about 15 days by carriage from the Nedville estate to Deleson. No matter how fast you ride alone on horseback, it’s a long distance that will take ten days…

“I ran as fast as I could and reached your Majesty!”

As soon as my father entered the throne room, he fell flat on his face toward Cecilia, who was sitting on the throne.

“…”

An awkward silence filled the spacious throne room. For your information, my father said he didn’t like a noisy welcome ceremony, so there weren’t any other subjects here.

After a while, Cecilia asked her father a question.

“We received your reply yesterday. “How long has it taken you to get here?”

“It took five days, Your Majesty!”

Not only I, but also Cecilia and her maids were shocked by that answer.

Even though he is already in his 40s, he still has monster-like physical strength…

Although he was my father, he was truly a mystery.

“Wow, you are amazing, Baron Nedville…” ” ” …”

“…”

If Flora stutters her words, she’s done.

Mulia couldn’t make any sound at all.

“This is all loyalty to Your Majesty.”

“Your loyalty is truly admirable.”

I lifted her head slightly and looked at Cecilia’s complexion as she sat on her throne. She seemed quietly moved.

Cecilia instructed her father to get up, and his father sternly stood up from her seat. When Flora, who was sitting next to me, saw this, she let out a low exclamation.

“Your majesty. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Yunheohaji.”

“I’d like to hear more about what’s going on.”

Ten days have already passed since I sent a letter to my father. I would like to know how the situation has changed in the meantime.

Cecilia let out her heavy sigh, then she informed them of the current situation. The father listened to the empress’ story with a very serious expression.

“I’m glad that nothing has happened so far.”

“It’s truly fortunate.”

Cecilia shook her head, and my maids and I agreed. Of course, the atmosphere was still calm.

“In my opinion, it seems like luck from heaven.”

“I agree with your opinion.”

“This is Duke Montersen. “It is clear that he is probably trying to trick me.”

“I already have an idea. “I am making my own preparations.”

Do you have any guesses?

What is it?

This time I didn’t hear anything either.

I stared at Cecilia, and she turned her head this way as if she felt my gaze.

“I’ll explain to you later.”

After saying that, I turned my attention back to my father.

“Baron Herald Nedville. “I give this to you, Luke.”

I got up from my seat and walked towards my father. As I stood right in front, my father quietly looked down at me.

“It seems like you are helping Your Majesty well.”

“As a direct secretary, it’s natural.”

“Uhm. “Yes.”

I held out the scroll I was holding in my hand.

“What is this?”

“This is a letter of appointment as commander. If you lead the soldiers together with the knight commander, Marquis Parco Ogiba, your morale will increase significantly.”

Cecilia answered her father’s questions on his behalf. Then my father opened his eyes and looked surprised.

“Commander. “I feel like this is too much of a position for me, Your Majesty.”

“No. “I am confident that the soldiers will follow suit.”

“…”

Suddenly my father glared at me. The look in your eyes was as if you were instigating it. I answered by shrugging my shoulders. In fact, I was confident that I had no involvement in Cecilia’s decision.

Finally, my father let out a short sigh.

“If that is your Majesty’s will, I will gladly follow it.”

“I will believe in you.”

The father saluted Cecilia and then walked towards his door her her her her. It had been a long time since I felt a sense of trust while looking at my father’s back as big as a bear.

A premonition passed through my mind that perhaps we might defeat Montersen and win.
