Chapter 106 Is this kind of side for Cecilia?
Chapter 106 Is this kind of side for Cecilia too?
Two days have passed since Cecilia arrived at Sergel’s palace.
For those two days, she did not have a separate schedule. The reason is that the aftermath of the forced march came hard.
Not only Cecilia, Flora and Mulia also stayed in bed all day.
The day I arrived, I didn’t seem to be very tired…….
As expected, if you don’t relieve your fatigue in time, you’ll explode someday.
Thanks to them, I realized another truth.
Fortunately, Vettel not only took full care of their circumstances, but also attached maids from the palace to take good care of them.
Thanks to that, the three women were able to recover completely.
“King Bethel. Today I want to tour the city of Perris, the capital of this place. Do you have time?”
Right after breakfast, Cecilia threw a question mark at Vettel, who was sitting across from her.
“I haven’t been able to introduce our palace yet, will it be okay?”
“I would like to postpone the pleasure of visiting this magnificent palace until tomorrow.”
“Yes. If that is what Her Majesty Cecilia intends, I understand.”
“Thank you.”
Cecilia expressed her gratitude, and Vettel responded with a silent bow.
I informed the two maids of the conversation between Cecilia and Vettel.
“I still wanted to go out to see the city, but it turned out great!”
As she clapped her hands, Flora’s face was filled with anticipation. Mulia didn’t express it directly either, but she was thrilled as expected.
‘It’s like seeing myself three weeks ago.’
Well, I was more excited about finding out the location of the real estate agency than about looking around the city.
Then Flora spoke to me.
“Mr. Luke. How was downtown Perris? Was there a lot to see?”
“It’s not fun to say that now.”
“Whoops. Luke is right. That should be postponed for later pleasure.”
Cecilia interrupted our conversation, her voice clear of delight.
“You all look happy.”
Vettel seemed to have guessed our conversation from the look and intonation.
I told him what we had just talked about.
“I didn’t expect everyone to expect this much. Then, we will go around the city after lunch. What is His Majesty’s intention?”
“Hmm. Good idea.”
After Cecilia nodded, she cast her gaze in this direction.
“Luke. Have you been on a city tour?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Her Majesty Bethel personally introduced me to various attractions in downtown Ferris.”
“Whoa. It was…….”
Cecilia let out a low exclamation.
But why are you asking that?
“Luke. Do you have any plans for today?”
“No, Your Majesty.”
“Good. Let’s go on tour with me.”
I knew this would happen…….
Because these days, Cecilia tries to carry me around whenever possible.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In the first place, I didn’t have the right to refuse, so I answered quickly.
Cecilia, as well as Flora and Mulia, who were with her, all looked satisfied.
Why?
* * *
After lunch, the four of us followed Bethel out of the main gate of the palace.
In front of it was a navy blue wagon large enough for six people to ride.
“Your Majesty Cecilia, please get on first.”
“I do.”
Cecilia nodded and cast her gaze at her.
Ah, so you asked me to escort you…….
I hurried over to the side of the wagon and held out my hand. Cecilia quite naturally climbed into her carriage with her hand inside her for support.
Following by, Flora and Mulia also took my hand and climbed into the carriage.
“I always owe you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Luke.”
“Thank you, secretary.”
The three women thanked me again.
As people with a higher status than me constantly expressed their gratitude, it felt like a mulberry was on my shoulder without my knowledge.
After all three women were seated, I got into the carriage.
Finally, it’s Vettel’s turn to ride.
At that time, I heard a voice calling for Vettel from somewhere.
“Your Highness Bethel!”
I looked in the direction of the sound.
After a while, Princess Louise McKenna could be seen hurriedly approaching him.
“Who is that?”
Cecilia, who was watching the scene from the other side of her, asked me a question.
“My name is Princess Louise McKenna.”
“I see… ….”
“Are you acquainted with Mr. Luke?”
Flora also showed her curiosity. I informed them that it was a level of friendship that greeted them when they met in the palace.
“Secretary…….”
Mulia was about to say something of hers, but she suddenly slurred her words.
“Yes?”
“Oh. Nothing.”
I’m more concerned about stopping talking…….
But looking at her expression, she didn’t seem to be willing to let me know that she was asking.
‘Well, the night before yesterday, he said some strange things.’
While we were talking among ourselves, the other side was also talking about something. The door of the carriage was wide open, and the sound of their words flowed in intact.
“Your Highness Bethel. I will accompany you.”
“Gongnyeo. It’s difficult right now because it’s work time.”
“I also want to greet Her Majesty, the Empress of the Empire.”
I tilted my head.
Did those two not get along very well?
For that matter, Louis came to the palace quite often.
“You must be close friends.”
In the meantime, Cecilia came to the opposite conclusion from me.
Where in that conversation did you feel that you seemed to be on good terms?
The two went up and down for a while.
I will go with you, and now I can’t, a tense confrontation.
“Time seems to be delayed a bit.”
Cecilia let out a short sigh before standing up from her chair.
Are you trying to mediate?
“King Bethel.”
“Yes, Her Majesty Cecilia.”
As Vettel became polite, Louis also became polite.
“Looks like I’m going to have a fight all day if I leave it like this.”
“No. I was about to send it back soon.”
The moment Vettel said that, Lewis jerked his head at him. While blatantly sending eyes filled with sadness.
Cecilia also seemed to notice Louise’s expression.
“Your resolute attitude may help the affairs of the state, but it may hurt those close to you.”
“Your Majesty… ….”
“I don’t think it will be a problem if we add one more member to the party.”
Oh.
You’re siding with the same woman.
I never thought I would discover a new side of Cecilia after a long time.
“… ….”
Vettel cast her gaze at Louis. With her eyes, Louise was very strongly expressing her wish to accompany her.
You can feel it even from above, but there’s no way that Vettel right next to you can’t feel it.
After a while he nodded.
“Yes. I will do as Her Majesty Cecilia said.”
It was only then that Louise’s expression brightened noticeably.
Maybe…… Is Lewis also Flora?
Anyway, as the scuffle between Vettel and Louise was over, Louise was able to get on the royal carriage.
As soon as Louis got on the carriage, he thanked Cecilia.
“Your Majesty the Empress of the Empire, I thank her for her grace.”
“What? I just wanted to do a quick city tour.”
Cecilia spoke in a nonchalant tone, but I could tell.
She said the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Finally Vettel boarded the carriage, and only then could we go on a tour of downtown Ferris.
* * *
Vettel kindly explained about the attractions in the city for the guests of the Empire.
Louis McKenna I knew all about it, but she listened intently to his voice.
‘It’s a voice I never get tired of hearing… ….’
No, it wasn’t that she didn’t get tired of it, it was her voice that made her happy. Modest yet warm tone.
It was one of the many factors that made her love Vettel from her childhood.
Louise looked at the three women sitting across from her.
“… ….”
He himself was one of the most beautiful people in the kingdom.
That wasn’t just self-praise.
It was the confidence that was based on the countless compliments on her appearance, which she had heard directly at numerous banquets she had attended.
By the way, the people in front of me were also as beautiful as themselves.
With the expressions the maids of the royal palace told themselves, it was hard to express its beauty.
So it was hard for her to fully feel her joy of being with Vettel.
‘What if Vettel catches eyes with one of the three?’
Her years growing up with Vettel have been a great strength for her and a source of her confidence.
However, she had a clear feeling of uneasiness rooted in her heart that if she stayed still like this, she might lose the man she had her heart for.
“Princess Louis.”
“Yes?”
Louis was startled by Vettel’s sudden call.
“I’m going to get off and take a walk after a while. What is the princess’ intention?”
“Ah… ….”
Only then did Louis slowly look around at the people in the carriage.
Judging by the atmosphere, she seemed to have agreed to go for a walk with everyone but herself.
“I also want to take a walk after a long time.”
“Then it’s decided.”
She informed the imperial guests that Vettel was sitting across from her that she would get off and take a walk soon.
Then, the expectations on their faces were young.
Lewis thought while examining it.
I think it’s still too early to be anxious.
From noble mtl dot com
‘I’ll have to observe and judge.’
At the same time, she vowed to appeal to Vettel more actively than she is now.
