249 – Episode 249: Cecilia’s First Kiss

Episode 249 : Cecilia and her her her her first kiss her

The next place Cecilia and I headed to was the castle tower built above the main gate of the imperial palace. It was to go to the castle tower where her father her her, Herald Nedville, and the head of the imperial knights, Parco Ogiva, were waiting.

“Luke.”

Cecilia called to me in a low voice from the carriage traveling around the imperial palace grounds. There was a lantern hanging from the ceiling of the carriage, so I was able to see her face clearly.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect the staff to voluntarily protect the imperial palace.”

“It’s the same for me.”

Cecilia sighed lightly. A worried expression appeared on her face. I asked just in case.

“Is there something that’s bothering you?”

“Uhm…”

Cecilia sighed. I waited calmly until she opened her mouth.

“I was moved by their willingness to show loyalty to me and the empire. But at the same time, I have this thought. Am I really the right emperor to deserve their loyalty? …”

Her voice was shaking slightly

But another question entered her mind. Why is he suddenly having doubts about whether he is the right emperor?

It was difficult for me to understand at first. As a result, it was difficult to answer.

As the awkward silence fell, Cecilia cleared her throat.

“Forget what I just said. “There are more important things to do now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty…”

Okay. This isn’t important right now. Preventing the imminent invasion of the aristocratic private army was the top priority.

* * *

“Meeting Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire.”

As soon as we came up to the castle tower at the main gate of the imperial palace, my father and the knight commander, Parco, saluted Cecilia. Cecilia responded by nodding her head.

Then I bowed slightly to the two men. My father, who normally would have greeted me with a bright smile, kept a stern expression here.

“It looks like everyone is keeping their guard up.”

“Yes. I think it is thanks to the recent mental education.”

The person who posted this report was Parco. He was wearing silver armor all over his body, and had a greatsword on his waist.

It was ready for battle, to the point where it could run into the battlefield at any time just by wearing the helmet.

Of course, my father was also ready for battle, and he was wearing a larger sword than Parco.

Well, my father may not know anything else, but his superpowers are incredible.

“That’s a very fortunate thing.”

Cecilia gently shook her head. She then also asked about the status of standby troops.

“I received a report from Deputy Division Commander Lance an hour ago that she was fully prepared for battle and on standby.”

“Everyone is preparing well. What is your contact network with Duke Kylos?”

“I have made arrangements to communicate with you as quickly as possible through my direct reports.”

Parco reported smoothly and without hesitation. Looking at him, I realized that he was a very capable person.

When I slowly turned my head and looked at Cecilia, she had a satisfied expression as expected.

“I have something to tell you.”

As Cecilia let out her serious voice, her father and Parco stood at attention.

“I have received information that the Duke of Montersen will invade the imperial palace at dawn tomorrow.”

“Is that so…”

Parco had a heavy expression, and his father squeezed his eyes shut. I could vaguely guess why my father did that.

‘You must be feeling pathetic that that old man had to pay for this sadal.’

If it weren’t for Parco and Cecilia, Montersen would probably have just been chewed on.

“It is expected that an all-out war will break out here. “What do you think?”

“I think it is highly likely that will happen.”

Parco agreed with her idea, and his father nodded his head.

No matter how I looked at it, the situation seemed to require a strategy meeting, so I suggested it to Cecilia.

“At the same time, Baron Nedville and I were also planning a plan.”

Parco pointed to a simple table in the corner. There were several sheets of paper scattered there along with candles.

“However, the chair will be very uncomfortable, is that okay?”

“Now is not the time to discuss such trivial matters.”

Cecilia answered in a clear tone, and the two men brought a small table and chairs to where Cecilia was. Of course, I also helped them and brought two simple chairs.

Four people were sitting around the narrow table. Also, because my father and Parco were so big, the table felt smaller.

“Now that we know that Duke Montersen will invade the imperial palace, it seems necessary to change our strategy.”

The three of us agreed to Parco’s proposal.

“I think it is right to deploy more archers.”

The father expressed his opinion to the knight commander.

There is certainly nothing better than archers to attack from high places. Of course, if the opponent also brings archers, the damage on our side will be significant.

Anyway, what kind of strategy can I suggest here?

“Knight Commander. “Can I check the contents here?”

“Of course, Secretary Nedville.”

I picked up the nearest paper first. Then Cecilia naturally sat down close to me.

Isn’t there too much hesitation now?

I placed her paper between us so she could see her contents clearly.

“…”

What was written on the paper contained information about the deployment of troops on the castle walls and the deployment of battle lines according to the situation when battle broke out.

There were a total of two situations presented on paper.

1. When charging towards the front door.

2. When entering the front and back doors at the same time.

Whatever it was, it was a situation that had no choice but to assume siege.

“Hmm…”

Cecilia stroked her lower jaw and let out her excited voice. When she glanced sideways, she saw that her face was thoughtful. After a while, she looked back and forth between her her Parco her and her father her her her.

“What if we increase the number of troops guarding the castle walls? “Only 500 people.”

“I was just considering increasing my troops, Your Majesty.”

As expected, the person who answered was Parco. The father nodded his head once, as if he completely agreed with Parco’s intentions.

Certainly working on defense seemed like a good option. But a thought suddenly crossed my mind that the best defense would be to hit first.

“Your majesty. “Can I also offer my opinion?”

“Yunheohaji.”

Then Parco and my father also focused their attention on me.

At that moment, there was a map drawing the main gate of the imperial palace and its surroundings in sight. I picked it up and placed it in the middle of the table.

“With the private troops currently concentrated at the Duke of Montersen’s residence, I think there is a very high possibility that they will invade through the southern highway. “It’s the fastest route from the Duke’s residence.”

I could feel Cecilia’s passionate gaze her her next to me.

“It just so happens that there are several alleys on both sides. So, how about ambushing some of your troops here in advance?”

“…”

Silence fell.

Is the opinion I presented that bad? …

But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there is a better strategy to take away the other side’s power.

“Luke.”

“Yes, father.”

“Then how many troops do you think we should deploy?”

I pondered my father’s question for a moment.

“I think it would be a good idea to deploy 100 people in each alley to catch the opponent off guard.”

“In an ambush operation, a surprise attack from the rear is most effective, but here, a siege would also be an option.”

Parco shook his head at his father’s remarks. Well, my father is a man who spent a long time on the battlefield, so he would know this better than anyone else.

“Baron Nedville. According to the secretary’s opinion, an ambush would be best.”

“I also agree with Luke’s opinion.”

Following Parco, Cecilia also gave strength to my opinion.

“Knight Commander. “Let’s discuss the deployment of troops a little further.”

“Yes. “Good.”

I can’t believe my opinion is being adopted in this way. I felt a sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, I felt dazed.

At that time, Cecilia’s hand touched my back

I turned my head to the side and saw her looking at me with a smiling face.

“As expected of you.”

The way he spoke as if he believed it.

Parco reassured Cecilia and I, saying that they would plan the other operations well. To be honest, I felt reassured that her father would also join us.

“Oh, and since it’s just you, I’m telling you.”

Cecilia cried just before getting up from her seat. The two men leaned their upper bodies forward toward us.

“It is understood that they have also recruited warlocks.”

“!”

Well, since these were commanders who had to lead the battlefield, there was a need to inform them of the existence of warlocks. However, I could not help but be surprised by her subsequent remarks.

“Therefore, I plan to stop the warlock as much as possible through the Luna members. However, I think it will not be an easy opponent even if all Luna members work together. So don’t panic even if a sudden black magic attack comes.”

Even if my father already knows, does Knight Commander Parco know Luna?

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

The two men responded with voices full of determination. Looking at the reaction, it seemed that Parco already knew about Luna’s existence.

After finishing the discussion, I stood up with Cecilia. My father took the lead and lit a lamp so that we could go down to the castle tower.

I went down the steep stairs holding Cecilia’s hand her her her her.

“Thank you, Baron Nedville.”

“For His Majesty, this is something that must be done.”

As soon as we finished coming down the stairs, my father turned around to face us. Even then, Cecilia did not let go of her hand, and thanks to her, she ended up showing her hands her her held together.

“Your majesty. “Can I be honest with you?”

“What is it?”

“I don’t think my humble son is suitable for someone as beautiful as Your Majesty.”

“Be good to your father.”

I responded right away and my father laughed heartily as if it was fun.

“Luke didn’t fall off. “He is a very trustworthy man.”

Meanwhile, Cecilia spoke again in a serious voice. Thanks to her, the embarrassment became my responsibility.

“If Your Majesty thinks so, I have nothing more to say. Then, let’s go up to the castle tower.”

The father saluted Cecilia and then went up the stairs.

We stared at my father’s back blankly for a moment.

“Luke.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I trust you the most in the world.”

A wind blew from somewhere and lightly shook Cecilia’s hair.

“I want to be with you forever.”

For a moment, I was speechless. To suddenly say something like a confession like this…

“Hehe. “You are really weak at things like this.”

But it was never a joke. Because Cecilia’s cheeks were flushed under the moonlight.

“Your majesty. Actually, me too… “I want to be with Your Majesty forever.”

“!”

This time Cecilia reacted in surprise, widening her eyes. But soon a soft smile spread across her face.

I took a step closer to Cecilia. Then she also took a step towards me.

For a moment, we looked at each other so close that our breaths touched.

“…”

She raised her tiptoes and attacked my lips.

I could feel the soft feel of her lips and their subtle warmth directly on her lips. I let go of her hand and carefully wrapped my arms around her waist.

The first kiss of her life was of subtle sweetness.
