I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With chapter 119

Episode 119 The Power of a Gift

After returning to the palace, the first thing I did was head to Bethel’s office.

When I thanked him for using the carriage well, he responded with a friendly smile.

“Since our guests come from far away, we have to provide that much.”

The next place I was headed to was the room where Cecilia was staying.

I stopped for a moment in front of the door. Then I checked to see if the gift was in the bag I got from the souvenir shop.

‘Okay. ‘We can go in now.’

-Knock knock.

As soon as I knocked, Cecilia’s voice came out of the room.

“Who is it?”

“Your Majesty. She just returned from an outing.”

“Come in right away.”

She immediately gave me permission to enter.

When I went inside, in addition to Cecilia, Flora and Mulia were also there. Judging by the tea and refreshments placed on the round table, it seemed like they were enjoying a leisurely tea time.

For me, it was rather a welcome situation.

There is no need to go around to Flora and Mulia’s rooms.

“Did you have a good trip?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “Thanks to you, I was able to spend my free time leisurely.”

“I see.”

Cecilia nodded her head.

Flora and Mulia were also looking at me with interest.

“By the way, since I was out of town, I also prepared a small gift for you.”

“A gift?”

Cecilia asked back with her eyes wide open.

“Oh my. By any chance, me and Mulia too?”

As expected, Flora immediately took her bait, and Mulia also showed her anticipation with sparkling amethyst-colored eyes.

As expected, it was a good idea to buy it according to the number of people.

“Please wait a moment.”

I took out a brooch with a pretty sunflower drawn on it from my pocket. There are ups and downs when giving a gift.

“Your Majesty. “I am here.”

Cecilia carefully accepted the brooch I gave her. Then he put it in front of her and looked around.

“Ho……. “A sunflower?”

“Yes. It is said that the sunflower is the national flower of the Kingdom of Sergel. “I chose this one because it seemed to have deep meaning.”

“I see… ….”

A satisfied smile appeared on Cecilia’s face as she nodded.

“Your Majesty. “Can we take a look too?”

Flora immediately went to Cecilia’s side. But Cecilia covered the brooch with her hand.

“You can take a look later. “I only want to see you now.”

“Please show a little mercy.”

Aengi is Cecilia pushing away Flora…….

This is a rare sight.

Fortunately, Mulia dissuaded Flora, so the situation was quickly resolved.

“Don’t worry. “I have also prepared things for Lady Flora and Lady Earl Fordward.”

I quickly took out two more brooches and gave them one to each of her two maids.

“Oh my! “The sunflowers are really beautifully drawn!”

“It’s pretty.”

Flora and Mulia expressed joy as they accepted the brooch.

“Luke. “Is this the same brooch I received?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “I thought it would be best to keep it the same.”

I responded with my head bowed. In the meantime, Flora’s voice of admiration and joy was heard.

“I see… ….”

Cecilia spoke in a calm voice, but seemed strangely disappointed.

I’m not sure why.

I quickly raised my head again.

“Luke. “My maids and I will be wearing brooches, so I’d like you to take a look.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Immediately after answering, Flora intervened.

“I think this brooch will go really well with the dress I’m wearing.”

“I think so too.”

Even Mulia says this…….

Everyone really likes the brooch I gave them.

‘It was a good idea to bring a gift.’

I sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, the three women wore brooches on their dresses.

“Luke. “How is it?”

“How do you feel? “It suits you well, right?”

“How do you see me…” ….”

But why do I have to evaluate this?

I had that question in my mind for a moment, but I decided to go along with it because of the atmosphere.

“Everyone seems to get along really well!”

It wasn’t just empty words, I truly felt that way. Although she originally had outstanding beauty, it could be said that she stands out even more.

Joyed smiles appeared on the faces of the three women.

“Your Majesty. “Can I go back to my room now?”

“Yunheohaji. “I will treasure this brooch you gave me for the rest of my life.”

When Cecilia said that, she also said that she would take good care of Flora and Mulia.

I bowed to Cecilia and her maids.

Now it was time to give Ileina her necklace.

As soon as I returned to the room, I called Ilaina with a black whistle.

“Did you have a good trip?”

“Yes. “Nothing happened.”

Ileina looked carefully here and there on my body to see if she was still worried. I lightly waved her hand to indicate that it was okay to stop.

“While I was out, I also bought a gift for you.”

“A gift, you mean?”

“Yes.”

I nodded at her and Ilayna reacted in confusion.

This is a reaction she never expected to receive as a gift for herself.

I took out her silver necklace from inside her pocket and showed it to her.

“It’s a necklace… ….”

“I chose the line to be short on purpose. “So that you don’t feel uncomfortable while carrying out your mission.”

“Ah… ….”

Il Reina could not continue her words. Are there a mix of emotions?

It’s not a very expensive necklace.

I motioned for her to come closer to her.

“I’ll hang it around my neck.”

“Oh, no.”

“Originally, something like this is given by the person who gave it as a gift.”

“… ….”

Il Reina seemed to hesitate for a moment, but she soon followed my instructions. She turned around and slightly lifted her own gray bob.

The moment I encountered the delicate nape of her neck, which I couldn’t normally see, I was startled without realizing it.

I can’t believe such a weak child has to struggle day and night to protect me.

A desire to do better suddenly arose.

“It might be a little cold.”

“It’s okay.”

I carefully placed the necklace around her neck and then hung it on her. At this rate, there won’t be any problems in the middle.

“It’s done. “Check it out.”

Il Reina adjusted her necklace with careful hands. She then said she thought it would be okay.

“I’m glad. “I think it suits you well.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you, Secretary.”

Ilayna bowed her head and expressed her gratitude to me.

Immediately after that, I noticed that her cheeks were flushed.

Could it be because you are embarrassed?

“I will now return to my mission status.”

“Okay. I’m always thankful.”

Ilayna disappeared again.

I went to the bed and lay down on it. It was because I was tired after walking around for more than half a day.

‘I guess I’ll have to postpone asking Ponta until tomorrow.’

I yawned profusely and then closed my eyes.

It was my first nap after coming to the Kingdom of Sergel.

* * *

Flora and Mulia were staying in Cecilia’s room even after Luke returned.

The three women took her brooch off her dress and placed it neatly on her round table.

“The picture of the sunflower is the same.”

“That’s how I see it, too.”

Cecilia agreed with Flora’s words.

They were checking earlier to see if the brooches were the same.

“Mulia. What do you think?”

“It looks like the same picture to me.”

After finishing checking, they put the brooch back on their dress top.

Cecilia touched the surface of her brooch with her hand and let out a soft sigh.

‘I couldn’t tell you that I wanted you to give me a gift…….’

Nevertheless, Luke read her heart and prepared such a beautiful gift.

My secretary is really special.

In addition, the sunflower is said to be the national flower that symbolizes the Kingdom of Sergel.

In other words, Luke chose the gift considering even its symbolic meaning.

Is that why?

Cecilia felt that only one thing was missing.

‘It would have been better if they had given it to me as a gift…….’

She didn’t know why she was having these thoughts. But when she said she was upset because of him, it wasn’t.

I just think of him as a man who takes good care of those around him.

So this level of regret was nothing.

Meanwhile, Flora felt happiness filling her heart just by knowing that Luke had made a gift for her.

‘After all, it’s Mr. Luke.’

Furthermore, I brought not only Cecilia’s but also Mulia’s things.

Her care for those around her was also one of the many reasons why she fell in love with Luke.

I wish we could continue to be together like now…….

Flora held the brooch with both hands, harboring a wish that she did not know would come true.

Finally, Mulia was feeling both happy and dazed.

‘No way, I didn’t know that the secretary would even bring mine… ….’

Even though Luke gave her a brooch that looked exactly the same, Mulia didn’t care.

An unexpected person gave me a gift.

In itself, she was able to be purely happy.

‘I’ll have to express my gratitude properly tomorrow.’

Mulia quietly made a promise to herself.

Thanks to the small brooch that Luke gave as a gift, the three women were unable to escape their happiness for a while.

* * *

Deep dawn when everyone is asleep.

“… ….”

Today again, Reyna was standing in the corner of the room where Luke was staying, hiding her presence. She kept her eyes closed to detect any suspicious signs around her.

‘I don’t feel any strange presence today either.’

Then, she gently rubbed the necklace around her neck with her right hand.

Ever since she received her necklace from Luke, Ilaina kept touching her necklace as was her habit.

She rarely received items needed for her mission.

But today she received it for the first time that it was a gift.

And that’s also from her partner, whom she has a crush on in her own way.

‘I feel strange.’

She never imagined that a day like this would come for her.

For this reason, the necklace hanging around my neck felt like a treasure more precious than anything else in the world. So much so that I want to wear this for the rest of my life.

And… ….

‘I want to protect the secretary for a long time.’

Ileina vowed to do her duty more thoroughly.

In fact, Luke was asleep without even dreaming that his small gift would exert such great power.
