Episode 154 Nedville Estate Tour
Episode 154 Nedville Estate Tour
I led the four women outside the mansion.
Then I remembered the fact that the carriage had a total capacity of 4 people and stopped.
‘What should I do?’
“Luke?”
Cecilia, who followed right behind me, called me.
I turned her back towards her. Then, including Cecilia, Flora, Mulia, and even Emma received the gaze at once.
Looks like one of them will have to leave…….
The purpose of today’s outing is to introduce our territory.
In this case, there was only one person left to leave.
“Your Majesty. I want to talk to Emma for a moment.”
“Yoonheohaji.”
I motioned for Emma to come over. Emma tilted her head once and followed me.
“Emma. I can’t get all of them into the carriage, but could you wait for me at the mansion?”
I spoke in a voice that only she could hear.
“Ah, come to think of it, there can only be four people in the carriage… ….”
Emma seemed to realize that only then.
“It’s still uncomfortable for you to stay with Her Majesty and her ladies-in-waiting. Besides, you know as much about our estate as I do.”
“Yes. That’s not true…….”
Emma nodded her head, but her eyes were filled with a strange sense of regret.
Looking at that, I’m getting nervous again…….
At that time, I heard Flora’s voice from behind me.
“Mr. Luke.”
Emma and I both cast our eyes towards her at the same time. Flora came towards us with her eyes smiling.
“What are you talking about with Miss Emma?”
“Ah. “We couldn’t all get on the carriage, so we were asking them to wait at the mansion.”
“Aha.”
Flora shook her head. Then she turned her head towards Emma.
“Miss Emma. “Wouldn’t it be boring to wait in the mansion alone?”
“Oh, well, I’m fine. There are many people close to the mansion…….”
“Hmm.”
Flora smiled strangely after hearing Emma’s answer.
You seem to be thinking about something?
“But do you really have to take a carriage?”
“… ….”
I was momentarily dazed by Flora’s sudden question.
She spoke softly, pointing her index finger toward me.
“Think about it. You’ve been to a new place for a long time, but wouldn’t you feel like walking around and feeling the scenery? Above all, it is also the hometown of Mr. Luke, whom I really wanted to visit.”
After hearing this, I found this to be quite persuasive.
“And I feel like it would be unfair to draw a picture that only leaves Miss Emma alone.”
“The Marquis Lady… ….”
Emma looked up to her with her touched face.
That’s right, they didn’t even teach you how to address them properly.
I quickly told Emma the correct name.
“Emma. “You should call me Lady Marquis Simonian.”
“Ah. I see I’m sorry, Marquis Simonian.”
When Emma bowed her back, Flora motioned for her not to do so.
“You can feel free to call me Lady Flora. “If you are Luke’s childhood friend, you are also my friend.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes. Sure.”
Flora smiled softly, and Emma expressed her gratitude several times.
I felt her gratitude to Flora. If she hadn’t held out her hand first, Emma would have lived in tension the whole time.
“So, Mr. Luke. “What do you think about walking and seeing the sights together?”
“Isn’t Your Majesty’s opinion the most important?”
“Your Majesty!”
As soon as she could speak, Flora called Cecilia.
I would say that she has the fearsome acting skills of Flora…….
“Hmm. “I was listening to the whole story.”
“Yes. “I think that’s why I’m asking right away.”
Mulia, who was standing behind Cecilia, narrowed her eyebrows and shook her head once. Perhaps she does this because Flora is too comfortable with Cecilia.
Actually, Cecilia didn’t seem to care much.
“I still wanted to walk here at least once.”
“Then it’s a decision!”
With Flora clapping her hands, it was decided that the tour of the Nedville Estate would be done on foot.
* * *
Before going on tour, Cecilia informed me of a caution.
“Luke. If others ask about us, tell them we are relatives of Baron Nedville.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The reason I ask you this is probably because you want to avoid making a fuss.
Flora and Mulia seemed to implicitly agree.
“Then, let’s take a look around the town slowly.”
Then Cecilia and Mulia nodded, and Flora and Emma responded aloud.
Coming to think of it, Emma had a similar disposition to Flora.
By the way, it was strange for her to see that she had exactly a two-for-two split.
I took the lead. Of course, I slowed down a lot considering the women’s stride.
Thanks to having always done that in the imperial palace, I was able to do it as naturally as breathing.
“It’s such a peaceful place.”
I heard Cecilia’s calm tone from behind.
“Of course! “I want to live in a place like this someday.”
“I want to build a villa here.”
Flora and Mulia also showed similar reactions to Cecilia.
Well, in a way, it is natural to think that way.
Cecily and her maids have always seen only the bustling cityscape.
“Luke. “What are those stems in the field over there?”
I stopped and looked in the direction Cecilia was pointing.
“Here comes the kava stem.”
“Ah. “It was a plant that only grows here.”
“Do you know Kava?”
Kava is a plant similar to sweet potato, but as far as I know, it is not found anywhere else except in the Nedville territory.
But how does Cecilia know this?
No matter how much he is the emperor, I don’t think he would understand such trivial things.
Cecilia laughed lightly, perhaps because I was making a puzzled expression.
“I know. “Because I have a connection with this place.”
‘Whoa. It just keeps making me worry…….’
What on earth is your relationship with your father? ….
Flora asked me what cava was. When she turned her head, she saw that not only Flora but also Mulia had curious expressions, so she told her in detail.
“I want to try it sometime.”
“Don’t expect much from the taste.”
I slightly crushed Flora’s expectations.
Compared to sweet potatoes, the sugar content is somewhat lower, so it is obvious that it will not meet expectations.
I led the group forward again. After walking for about 15 more minutes, we were able to enter the village.
“It’s quiet.”
“Of course.”
Flora agreed with Cecilia’s words.
“I like the quiet atmosphere.”
Mulia shared her feelings in a calm tone.
In fact, there were children and women walking around the streets of the village. However, compared to the crowds in the capital, Delesson, this amount felt like nothing.
“Ah, Master Luke! “It’s been a long time since you came.”
As soon as one of the ladies recognized me, the people around me came up to me with joy.
I exchanged greetings with them and exchanged updates.
“By the way, master. “Do you know the girls behind there?”
“You all are so pretty!”
Mulia was embarrassed by her ladies’ praise, and Cecilia smiled, raising the corners of her mouth.
“Oh my. “Thank you everyone.”
Flora expressed her gratitude with a wide smile.
If Cecilia were introduced here as her emperor, the whole town would turn upside down.
“These are just people I got to know while living in the capital.”
“Nice to meet you all.”
When Cecilia said her luck first, Flora and Mulia also expressed their joy in their own ways.
I introduced the three women by name only. Then the women began to bombard them with questions.
The content of the question was mainly like this.
How did you get to know me?
What is your relationship with me, etc.
As a result, Cecilia and Mulia showed signs of trouble.
Only Flora,
“I naturally got to know each other as I was doing similar work. “The more I got to know Luke, the more I realized he was a really nice person.”
He slyly interacted with the wives by mixing words with them.
As expected, he is very friendly… ….
At that time, some women jokingly joked about Emma.
“Oh my, what should we do now with Emma? “You are surrounded by such beautiful people.”
“We, Emma, need to work harder.”
The other women next to me burst out laughing, hahahaha.
Then Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia all looked at Emma.
Perhaps because she suddenly received everyone’s attention, Emma’s face turned bright red and she didn’t know what to do.
“Oh my. “You still look like a girl.”
“So how are you going to capture Master Luke?”
They were just planning to make fun of Emma…….
It seemed like if things were left like this, Emma would continue to twist her body.
“Everyone does this. “Emma is in trouble.”
When I waved my hand lightly, the women unanimously answered that they understood.
Although the eyebrows were still drawn in an arc.
The ladies said hello to me and my companions and then moved to another place.
“It seems like everyone likes you.”
From noble mtl dot com
Cecilia looked at me.
“First of all, he is the lord’s son, so that’s right.”
“Not everyone will like it just because of that. “It may be because of your outstanding personality.”
“I also think what your Majesty said is correct.”
“I think so too.”
Even Flora and Mulia agreed with Cecilia’s remarks.
Thanks to this, I felt embarrassed and rubbed the back of my neck.
“Luke.”
At that time, Emma came up to me.
“Emma. Are you okay?”
“Thanks to you, I survived.”
Then Emma let out her sigh.
“Everyone has become so mischievous these days. “Even though I know I’m not good at jokes like that.”
“Wouldn’t that make you more of a tease?”
“… ….”
Emma suddenly puffed out her cheeks and made a pouty face.
Seeing him do this to me even though all the high-ranking people were watching, he seemed quite relaxed.
‘Still, I’m glad you adapted quickly.’
I stroked Emma’s head. Emma seemed surprised at first, but then she gave me her head.
“Okay then, let’s continue the tour again… ….”
I turned my head towards Cecilia and her maids and stopped talking.
It was because the three women were staring at us.
Their gaze felt strangely envious.
“Hey, Your Majesty?”
“Ah. Okay, please show me more about the village.”
Cecilia cleared her throat hmm.
…… Well, maybe I was mistaken.
I took the lead again.
