Episode 143 Time with Emma
Episode 143 Time with Emma
I was going to take Emma to my room on the second floor.
Then I ran into Cyril in the hallway.
“Oh. Did Emma come too?”
Cyril approached us with a happy expression on his face.
“I arrived a little while ago, Lady Cyril.”
“A. They also say that she is a young lady. “You can just say it comfortably.”
Cyril waved her hand, and only then did Emma relax her words.
In the past, even though she knew there was a difference in social status, Emma used informal language with us. Since she played often since she was young, speaking informally became a habit for her.
“Sister. Your wish has finally come true.”
“Wish fulfillment?”
When I asked back, Cyril nodded her head. With a tomboyish smile on her face.
“After her brother left for the capital, she misses her brother so much every time she sees me… ….”
“Oh, no! I’ve never whined like that before!”
Embarrassed, Emma waved her hands and panicked, but Cyril just burst out laughing.
Anyway, seeing Emma like that made it clear that she missed me.
‘You can see she was hugging me at the door earlier.’
Thanks to that, she was able to fully feel the texture of Emma’s voluptuous breasts, which was an unexpected harvest for her.
But she should not be mistaken. Even though I am a man, I am not a pathetic person who loses his composure over things like that.
Still…… I guess I’ll have to go see him later and say thank you to him separately.
“How was your brother? Did you miss your sister?”
“Poetry, Cyril. Why are you asking that?”
Emma lightly hit Cyril on the shoulder, but Cyril did not stop. Instead, she urged me to answer quickly.
“Yeah… ….”
Her words trailed off and she slowly turned her head towards Emma. As soon as their eyes met Emma’s cheeks flushed.
“Of course I missed it.”
“My brother was like that too.”
“Yes. “I missed my hometown, and I missed my family, too.”
Then Emma let out her sigh lightly.
Maybe my answer was a little disappointing.
How can I stop teasing Emma like this?
Cyril told her to have a good time and headed to his room.
“Shall we go now?”
“Yes.”
I naturally held her hand and headed to my room. Afterwards, I entered her room and asked Emma to sit down on an empty stool.
“I told you in the letter a few days ago. I have prepared a small gift for you.”
“Ah, yes. “It was like that.”
I took out a brooch with a picture of a sunflower on it from my leather backpack. Of course, I held it with both hands so that Emma wouldn’t see it.
“Emma. What do you think I would have prepared?”
“Um…… Well?”
The figure of her childhood friend tilting her head felt cute today.
I moved closer with a smile on my face. Then he saw Emma’s blue eyes twinkle with anticipation.
“Okay. This is it.”
I showed the brooch on the palm of my hand.
“Wow… …. Isn’t this a brooch?”
“Right.”
I nodded, and Emma made a moved expression.
“I bought it while thinking of you when I went to Sergel Kingdom as an envoy.”
In fact, I gave the same thing to Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia. But there is no need to tell you the truth here.
“Luke…… “I was really touched.”
“I’m glad you seem to like it.”
Then Emma nodded her head vigorously.
“Luke. “Can I try wearing this now?”
“Of course not.”
Emma jumped up from the stool and then turned around. A moment later Emma stood facing me, wearing the brooch on her left breast.
“How is it? Matches well?”
“Yes. “As expected, it suits me just as well as I thought.”
“Thank you very much. I will treasure it!”
Emma showed signs of genuine happiness.
Perhaps because bright sunlight came through the window, Emma looked brighter and prettier than before. Her brown hair, which reached down to her waist, was shiny and shiny thanks to the sunlight catching it.
I stared at her blankly.
In the meantime, I felt something curious.
Last time I gave her her hairpin with her cubic on it. But I couldn’t see where the hairpin had gone.
‘Could it be that you’ve never used it before?’
Still, just in case, I decided to ask to confirm.
“Emma. But what about the hairpin I did before? “It’s not like you never used it, right?”
“Ah!”
Emma lightly hit her own head.
“I came here in a hurry while working today. “On my days off, I always wear that hairpin.”
“I’m glad. “I was also worried that you might be acting like a treasure trove.”
I made an exaggerated gesture on purpose, showing a sigh of relief.
“I wouldn’t go that far. “You gave it to me as a gift, so of course I have to use it.”
“That’s right. It’s rather unsightly to treat it too much like a treasure. And it’s okay to lose it. “I can give you as many accessories as you want.”
“Really? I’m touched when you say that… ….”
I guess it’s been a while since we last met.
Everything Emma showed in her facial expressions and actions just kept coming across as cute.
However, I would say that this is closer to the feeling of looking at her younger sister as her older brother rather than as the opposite s*x.
“By the way, did you eat lunch?”
“Not yet. “As soon as I heard you were at work, I came running right away.”
“Then I guess I should ask you to prepare a simple sandwich. Wait a minute.”
I went out to visit and happened to spot her maid passing through her hallway.
“Emma is here right now. Could you prepare a sandwich and a drink for me?”
“Of course. “Would you like some dessert?”
“That would be great.”
“hehehe. Young master. “You look really happy today.”
She laughed while the maid covered her mouth.
I went back into the room and chatted with Emma. She was curious about what life was like in Deleson and the imperial palace, and I told her in detail what I had experienced so far.
Meanwhile, the maid brought a tray filled with sandwiches, drinks, and dessert.
“Thank you.”
“What? Have a nice time, Emma.”
We sat facing each other with the nightstand between us.
Emma must have been very hungry, so she quickly finished her sandwich. Afterwards, we ate dessert and drinks and talked for a long time.

“… ….”
When Rayna and Luke entered Baron Nedville’s house, she did not follow him in.
She instead looked around the grounds of her mansion and outside the walls.
It was a practice of Lucia’s teaching that when entering a new environment, understanding the surrounding terrain is the top priority.
‘I’ll have to look around and figure out the structure of the mansion tonight.’
Her job wasn’t over when she looked around the mansion.
Her first mission is to escort Secretary Luke Nedville.
So she was on the roof of her mansion, keeping her posture low and keeping a watchful eye on her fortune.
‘What is the secretary talking about with that woman?’
Curious, she pressed her ear as close to the roof as she could. Then the sound of her voice came from directly below.
But she sounded like a babble and it was difficult for her to understand what she was saying.
The voice definitely belongs to the secretary.
She closed her eyes and alerted her nerves to her hearing. Moments later, Ilayna could pick up the distinct sounds of conversation.
“… ….”
Luke was having a comfortable conversation with the woman, as if he were close with him.
‘That woman must be Emma.’
The reason she remembered her name, Emma, was because Luke sometimes looked at her near her when he wrote letters addressed to her.
The conversation was mainly led by Luke.
Luke told her about various things that happened in the imperial palace, and Emma listened to his story with great interest.
From noble mtl dot com
Those things were things Ilena knew all along.
But hearing her past again in Luke’s voice made me feel strange.
‘Secretary felt that way at that time… ….’
The secretary definitely lives in a different world than I do.
At the same time, she felt envious of Emma, who could laugh purely while listening to Luke’s story.
Because she rarely felt such emotions.
Ileina lifted her ear from the roof, exhaling her soft breath.
She felt that she should not disturb the two people’s happy time.
‘I can’t feel emotions.’
Ilayna recalled. She realizes that she is a member of Luna, who was created to be used as her tool.

I was having a good time with Emma, and soon evening came.
I took her and headed to her restaurant on the first floor. Her parents both knew Emma well and welcomed her gladly.
“If you had come, wouldn’t you have come to say hello to me too?”
“Listening to Master Luke’s story was so fun that I forgot. I’m sorry, Baron Nedville.”
Her father waved at Emma, who slightly bowed her back, telling her not to do so.
When I sat down at her table, Emma sat next to me, thanks to Cyril being considerate and saving her seat.
It’s been a long time since I sat and ate next to Emma like this.
After dinner, the sun had completely set.
“Emma. I’ll take you home.”
“Oh. You don’t have to…….”
But my father did not just leave this and motioned for me to quickly take him to him.
So, I ended up walking side by side with Emma.
“I really enjoyed today, Luke.”
I looked to the side and saw a faint smile on Emma’s face.
“It means that I am spending such a busy day at the imperial palace.”
“It seemed like that.”
We laughed hahahaha, hahahaha, no matter who was first.
“Still, he looked happy when he spoke. “Do you get caught because there are only good people around you?”
“That’s right. All of you are good people. “Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, and her ladies-in-waiting, Lady Flora and Lady Mulia.”
“You mentioned them a few times in the letter. I wonder who they are.”
“Maybe the day will come when we can meet again.”
Of course, that day will never actually happen.
But rather than telling the truth, I decided to suit Emma in moderation.
As she walked and talked, she soon arrived in front of Emma’s house.
“Luke. Do you have time tomorrow as well?”
“Of course I do.”
“Then I’ll wear a hairpin tomorrow.”
“I look forward to it.”
We waved at each other.
After seeing Emma entering the house, I turned towards the Baron’s residence.
I will spend time with Emma tomorrow too.
I already felt excited. Maybe that’s why the walk home felt light.
