I Became the Vassal the The Tyrannical Is Obsessed With chapter 45

Chapter 45 If It Wasn’t Special

Chapter 45 If It Wasn’t Special

Monday is the start of a new week.

The work that had stopped for a while over the weekend poured into the office today without fail.

However, Cecilia, Flora, Mulia, and Luke were now in a state of being self-absorbed with paperwork, so they handled their work perfectly without any errors.

“Everyone did a great job. You can go to work now.”

It was almost 8 p.M. When Cecilia mentioned the word work.

No matter how proficient they were in paperwork, it was impossible for just four people to handle the endless waves of paperwork in time.

“Ahhh. It hasn’t been a joke since Monday…….”

Flora stretched herself from her seat, stretching her arms up.

“Your Majesty also suffered a lot.”

Mullia stood up from her seat and slightly bent her back towards Cecilia. Then Luke followed Mulia in the same way.

“It’s late. Let everyone get some rest.”

Cecilia gestured to the three of them and issued a congratulatory order.

“Have a good night, Her Majesty Empress Cecilia.”

The three of her greeted her and left her office. Luke told the two of them that he would satisfy their hunger and then stepped into the staff cafeteria.

“Mulia. Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m just trying to solve it in my room.”

“If that’s the case, let’s eat together in my room. How is it?”

Mulia thought about it for a while and then said yes.

“I’ll just change my dress in my room and come back.”

“Okay.”

Flora waved her hand at her and went into her room. Mulia also tried to get into her own room.

“Lady Fordward!”

Just as the door was about to close, someone called Mulia. She turned her head in the direction of the sound.

A few steps away from her, a figure she knew well was approaching.

“Ah, Mr. Hood. What are you doing?”

He was one of the staff in the department managing the imperial library.

“Three books were brought in over the weekend. I’m going to inspect it right now, would you mind?”

While Mullia was a maid, she was also involved in the library of the imperial palace. When she had to inspect her brought-in books, the staff at her library always looked for her.

“Yes. Can I have dinner before then? I haven’t had dinner yet.”

“Sure! Shall we see you at the library in 30 minutes?”

“Yes.”

After confirming that the hood had retracted, Mullia turned her steps towards Flora’s room. She wanted to fill her stomach as quickly as possible and go to the library.

* * *

After filling her stomach with a simple meal, Mullia headed straight to the imperial palace’s library. It was 8:40 when she arrived at her library.

As soon as Hood, who was sitting at the information desk of her library, saw her, she jumped to her feet.

“You came just in time, lady-in-waiting!”

“Because it’s easier to finish things sooner rather than procrastinate.”

Mulia came to her desk. She then looked at the three books lying on it.

“These are all books related to Sergel Kingdom.”

“Yes. So special, right? It’s already been over 30 years since trade with Sergel was cut off.”

Mulia moved her head slightly in agreement.

She went inside the information desk. Hood had her armchair set aside for her.

“Thank you.”

Mulia took her seat and Hood took the seat right next to her.

“Which book would you check first, lady-in-waiting?”

“The language of Sergel Kingdom.”

“Yes. Then I will check out the book About Culture.”

The two of them carefully checked the cover of the book and then checked the contents. Since it was a level of inspection, it was not possible to read all the typefaces written on the page.

Nevertheless, Mulia and Hood struggled to grasp as much of what was written in the book as possible.

This usually takes a long time.

However, the two of them were very trained in speed reading as they almost lived on books. Thanks to that, it didn’t take long to review the book.

“The title and content match. There is no disturbing content.”

Mulia shared the results of her inspection with Hood.

“Yes. It contains a lot of information about Sergel Kingdom.”

Hood also agreed and added his own impressions.

“It’s so amazing. Why are you trying to study Sergel Kingdom?”

“Do you know who brought in this book?”

“Yes. I heard from the guard who delivered this book yesterday.”

As soon as she heard Hood’s explanation, Mullia’s curiosity welled up. She asked Hood cautiously.

“Could you give me a little tip who it is?”

“Of course I have to inform the lady-in-waiting!”

With an excited voice, Hood immediately spoke the book’s owner’s name.

“This is Secretary Luke Nedville.”

“Yes? Are you the secretary?”

Mullia asked with her eyes wide open.

Hood again informed her that her rook was correct.

‘The lady-in-waiting has such a surprised expression. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.’

Hood thought that she was a person who always wore a calm and composed face, so she was a person with little emotional expression.

But as soon as I brought up the idea that she was involved with Secretary Luke Nedville, she reacted with surprise.

‘That’s how much the secretary-nim seems to be recognized by the lady-in-waiting.’

Hood draws his own conclusions.

In the meantime, Mulia has returned to her original calm face.

“I guess I’ll have to inspect the remaining books as well.”

“I will do this myself. The lady-in-waiting must have had a hard time working today.”

“Then, please.”

Mulia rose from her seat. Hood saw her off until she left her library.

Mulia thought as she took her steps into her own room.

‘Last time, you learned about Quilton and Perryson, but this time why?’

Why do you want to study about Sergel Kingdom?

What kind of purpose do you have? ….

As she walked, engrossed in her thoughts, she found Mulia standing in front of the stairs leading to the second floor.

She stood tall in front of him.

‘I think I’d better talk to His Majesty.’

If you do that, you might be able to figure out Luke’s intentions.

After making her conclusion, Mullia decided to head to Cecilia’s room and climbed her stairs.

* * *

When she arrived at Cecilia’s room, Flora was already seated.

“Mulia. You look bored too.”

Cecilia let out a laughing voice at Mulia, who politely greeted her.

“It must have been a long time since I came to be your Majesty’s companion.”

Flora, who was sitting on the stool, spoke to Cecilia in a light tone.

“That’s not bad either.”

“Your Majesty.”

From noble mtl dot com

At Mulia’s call, who raised her head again, Cecilia chinned her chin. A sign to speak.

“I came here because I thought it would be good for His Majesty to know.”

“What is that?”

Then Flora, who was by her side, also twinkled her eyes with curiosity.

“Please sit down first, Mulia.”

Just then, an empty stool was placed next to Cecilia. She said that she would excuse herself, and then she sat down on the stool with a slight attitude.

“I was inspecting her brought-in books in the library a little while ago.”

“I heard about that from Flora.”

After Mullia looked at Cecilia’s expression, she continued her story.

“There were three books in total, but they dealt with the language, culture, and history of Sergel Kingdom.”

“The kingdom of Sergel… ….”

Cecilia narrowed her eyebrows slightly. Why did you come now with information about a kingdom whose diplomatic relations had been severed for a long time…….

“Who brought in the book?”

Cecilia asked the most important question of hers. Mullia looked at Cecilia and Flora one at a time and then gave her answer.

“Secretary Luke Nedville.”

“… ….”

Cecilia frowned even more. Flora opened her eyes wide, to the point of worrying that her eyeballs might be sticking out.

“Luke?”

“Yes. I heard from the library staff.”

“Hmm… ….”

Cecilia showed her troubled expression.

“Come to think of it, the other day I also borrowed books about the Kingdom of Quilton and the Kingdom of Perison.”

“Did Your Majesty see it too?”

“I saw it by chance.”

Cecilia gave a concise answer to Flora’s question.

“Does she have that much interest in foreign countries?”

Hearing Flora’s remarks, Mulia suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Luke on the last holiday. She decided to let Cecilia know that too.

“Come to think of it, when we met at the library, I asked the secretary once. Are you reading books about foreign countries to prepare for the future?”

“Whoa. What did Luke answer?”

“They answered me that there will come a time when I can use it, so I am preparing it in advance.”

“Prepare in advance, la… ….”

Cecilia stroked her own lower jaw with her moaning.

A moment later, a thought passed through her mind.

She said that maybe she could create an opportunity to win the support of the emperor faction based on this.

‘I’ll have to talk to Luke as well.’

It was Cecilia who further solidified the decision she made yesterday.

* * *

After finishing my work in the morning, I moved to the dining room with the empress and her maids.

Starting with Cecilia sitting first, Flora, Mulia, and I sat down in order.

Cecilia lightly shook her bell on her table. The maids quickly brought food to the table.

“Eat.”

So we had lunch in a quiet atmosphere.

“I am satisfied today as well.”

Cecilia rubbed her lips lightly with her napkin, revealing her satisfaction. I don’t think I ate that much.

Flora ate as much as usual, and Mullia ate the same amount as Cecilia.

Cecilia waved the bell once more while I checked their plates. The maids quickly removed the tableware and prepared black tea as an after-meal tea.

Drinking hot tea seemed to relieve the fatigue accumulated in the morning.

‘Now I can rest in my room until 2 o’clock.’

However, my expectations were soon dashed.

“Luke. Can you go with me to the office for a while? I have something to talk about with you.”

“Yes, of course, Your Majesty.”

I lowered my head, but let out a sigh inside.

While wondering what to say, I also thought of this.

Please don’t be a big deal.
