Episode 150 A messy situation
After enjoying a nap with Emma, we headed to the dock on the river.
The dock and the ferry boats moored there seemed to be in good condition, as if they were taking good care of it.
Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy boating with peace of mind.
Because we had a conversation in the carriage earlier, I left the oars to Emma.
“Come on, Emma. When rowing…….”
I demonstrated rowing to Emma myself.
Emma looked at him passionately and even rolled up her sleeves, saying she would do it right after confirming it. But the result is
“Emma. “We’re just a little bit far from the dock.”
“Now, wait a minute. “This is harder than I thought.”
After only a few meters, he was out of breath.
“What if my physical strength is like that while working all the time?”
“Oooh. I know… ….”
Emma sighed deeply.
“I’d better do it myself.”
“Yes. Sorry.”
When she apologized obediently, I gently waved her hand and told her not to mind.
After changing my seat, I started rowing. Perhaps thanks to the previous experience, the boat moved forward easily.
Emma was impressed when she saw me like that.
“Did you learn this at the imperial palace?”
“Well, that’s right.”
As I was having a good time, the sunset began to set in the sky.
“If there is more, it will be too late. Shall I go back?”
“Yes. Let’s do it.”
After organizing our mats, we got into the carriage.
After traveling for about 30 minutes, our carriage arrived in front of Emma’s house.
I got out of the carriage first, then held out my right hand for Emma.
“When you do this for me, I feel like a noble lady.”
Emma covered her mouth with her hand and she laughed. Then he held my hand and carefully got out of the carriage.
“Emma. “Can I see you tomorrow?”
“Hmm. I think I’ll have to help in the field tomorrow. “You’ve been having too much fun these days.”
A hint of regret was evident in Emma’s tone.
“If I get permission, I guess we can see each other tomorrow too?”
“Um… ….”
Emma showed signs of concern.
“Let me tell you something!”
“Okay. Enter carefully.”
We waved goodbye to each other. I got into the carriage only after I saw Emma entering her house.
When I was almost at the baron’s residence, the coachman suddenly called me.
“Why?”
“It looks like a guest has visited the mansion.”
“A guest?”
“Yes. Anyway, the carriage is very luxurious. “This is my first time seeing something like this in my life.”
Who are you?
Are you an acquaintance of your father?
But as far as I can tell, among my father’s acquaintances, there is no family great enough to drive a luxurious carriage.
Unable to overcome my curiosity, I pressed my face toward the window leading to the coach seat.
…… Why is there a carriage that looks like something you would only see in the imperial palace in this corner of the countryside?
‘No way, right?’
That really makes no sense…….
However, the familiar wagon in front of me could hardly be seen as an illusion.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of our mansion, I jumped down. Then he ran into the mansion in a month.
And I was astonished by the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
“Luke. “You came back sooner than I expected.”
“Wow! “It’s been a long time since I last saw you, Mr. Luke!”
“How have you been?”
Because the three members of the imperial palace, my superiors, were in our mansion!
* * *
The imperial carriage carrying Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia arrived at Baron Nedville’s residence about 20 minutes before Luke arrived.
The three women got out of her carriage, escorted by knights.
“This is Mr. Luke’s house!”
Flora sparkled her emerald eyes, and Mulia looked around her with wonder on her face.
‘Even though it’s been a while since I’ve been here, nothing has changed here.’
Cecilia looked up at her mansion once and felt both nostalgia and welcome.
“Everyone, please follow me. “I’m going inside.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Flora and Mulia quickly followed behind Cecilia.
“By the way, there is no gatekeeper here.”
“That’s because Baron Nedville doesn’t really care about such things.”
Cecilia gave the answer to Flora, who muttered in a curious tone.
“How does your Majesty know such a thing?”
“I have a connection with the Baron.”
She once again answered Flora’s question. Meanwhile, the three women reached the front door of the baron’s residence.
Cecilia stared at the closed door for a moment and then knocked on it with her fist.
After a while, Writer Nam’s butler-in-law, Cleanson, came out the door to greet her guests.
“This is Cecilia Campbell Eckhart. “I have come to meet my secretary and Baron Nedville.”
“Secretary, you say?”
Clinson asked back with a blank face. However, after a while, his face slowly became colored with astonishment.
Because there was only one person in the empire who could use the surname ‘Eckhart’.
Furthermore, there was only one person in the empire who could call Luke a secretary.
“Jeje, the empire’s, uh, mother… ….”
“I will receive greetings later. “Can I go inside first?”
“Yes, yes, of course, I come…” ….”
In a dazed state, Cleanson guided Cecilia, her maids, and even her knights into her mansion.
Then, with his mind in a daze, he ran towards his office on the second floor.
‘Oh my god, this is happening…’ ….’
From noble mtl dot com
Clinson could make a guarantee.
He said that on his 50th birthday, there has never been a day as surprising and embarrassing as today.
Meanwhile, Flora went to Cecilia’s side and spoke to her.
“Your Majesty. “She seems very surprised because she came without any message.”
“I think it would have been better to send at least a letter.”
After hearing Flora’s remarks, Mulia conveyed her opinion in her cautious tone.
Cecilia turned around and cast her gaze alternately toward her two maids.
“If I had sent her letter, wouldn’t she have been thoroughly prepared to welcome me?”
“Yes. “It must have been like that.”
Flora nodded her head in agreement with Mulia’s answer.
“Shouldn’t there be unexpectedness like this sometimes?”
“You meant to surprise Mr. Luke!”
Cecilia made no reply to Flora’s words. She simply smiled, raising the corners of her mouth.
While they were chatting, Baron Nedville was literally in a state of despair.
A visit from none other than Cecilia, the most powerful person in the empire!
Even Herald Nedville, who was not surprised by most things, was astonished to the point of blacking out as soon as he heard Cleanson’s report. But, like the master of writer Nam, he quickly came to his senses.
It may have been a while since you came to say hello to me.
Or maybe you came to see Luke.
The Herald instructed Cleanson to gather the employees and their families on the first floor as quickly as possible. After that, Herald quickly headed to the central entrance on the first floor of the mansion.
“Meet Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire.”
“Hmm. “I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve seen you face to face like this.”
Only then did the Herald straighten his back and look down at Cecilia. It was a composition that appeared because of the height difference.
“I was really surprised that you visited without any message, Your Majesty.”
“Sometimes there have to be unexpected events, right?”
The Herald laughed and agreed with Cecilia’s words.
Cecelia then introduced Flora and Mulia, who were standing behind her.
“Where can my knights rest?”
“Give me a little time and I will show you where they can rest.”
“Hmm. “Let’s do that.”
Cecilia gave her a heavy nod of her head once.
“Your Majesty. But I wonder why you made your way to this shabby place yourself.”
“I was wondering how my secretary is doing, and at the same time, I wanted to say hello to you after a long time.”
Then the Herald let out a brief sigh.
“My son is out right now, so you will have to wait until he comes back.”
“I see.”
While they were exchanging conversations, the baron’s family and all the servants of the mansion gathered in the central foyer. They greeted Cecilia with a booming voice.
The Herald instructed the employees to prepare a dinner and provide a place for the knights of the imperial palace to rest. While all the employees were moving in perfect order, only one person, Ileina, stood there.
‘Why is Ileina looking like that… ….’
While Cecilia was feeling her embarrassment, Il Reina walked in front of Cecilia and patted her waist.
And Flora and Mulia, who were watching this scene, made puzzled expressions.
It was because the two maids had never seen Ileina before.
“Your Majesty. That maid… ….”
“Ah. “They said she was a maid who came here under orders from His Majesty to wait on her son.”
Fortunately, Harald stepped in first, and the baron’s family nodded.
Of course, Flora and Mulia questioned Cecilia,
“Yes. “I sent someone first without you guys knowing.”
She pretended to be calm and made up her lies.
She thought that when Luke comes back, she must find out what happened.
Not long after that, Luke Nedville, who everyone had been waiting for, returned to the Baron’s residence.
* * *
I was so dumbfounded that I even forgot to say hello to Cecilia.
Still, she was able to quickly come to her senses and be polite in front of her.
“You’ve been out too long, you guy.”
My father approached me and gave me a light bruise.
“That’s what happened when I played with Emma.”
As soon as Emma’s name was mentioned, Flora responded immediately.
“If it’s Emma…… “Are you Luke’s childhood friend?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Then, not only Flora but also Mulia and Cecilia reacted in surprise.
Actually, I’m the one who should be surprised here, right?
“Secretary. “Did you have a good time?”
At that time of confusion, Ilaina came to me.
…… But what were you doing while I was gone, walking around dressed up like this?
She had only been out for a few hours, but there was so much going on that her mind couldn’t keep up.
“Well, since we have precious guests, it would be better to go to the living room instead of staying here.”
Her father rushed to take care of the situation, and her mother, older brother, and younger sister also shook their heads.
Then, the father asked Cecilia and the maids what they wanted, and the three of them also said they would do the same.
First of all, I need to clean up this mess in the living room.
My father took the lead and said he would guide me to the living room.
As I was moving along with the procession, Cecilia came close to me.
“Luke. “How on earth is Ilaina showing herself?”
She asked in her ant-crawling voice.
“There is a story here… ….”
“I guess we’ll have to spend some time talking to each other later.”
I’m sure this won’t get you scolded, right?
I felt uneasy for some reason and lightly made her shudder.
