Chapter 57 It was the heart!
Chapter 57 It was the heart!
As soon as Flora closed the door, he raised his arms high and cheered.
In a low voice so that Luke, who may still be outside, won’t hear.
Her picnics were of course also a factor that made her happy.
But there was a bigger reason than that.
‘Tomorrow alone with Mr. Luke… ….’
I was so happy that I even said something that crossed the line uncharacteristically.
Because of that, she was pointed out by Mullia, but she was in a bad mood.
Because I was already satisfied just by seeing Luke’s flustered expression.
Flora spun around the room with a smile on her face. The hem of her beige dress fluttered lightly with her gestures.
When she can’t control her joy, she has to dance alone like this to unlock her instincts.
Then he hums her tune and dives right on top of her bed.
Flora lay on her back with her arms outstretched at her sides.
She hasn’t changed into her pajama dress yet, but that’s fine now. The anticipation of planning a picnic together with Luke tomorrow filled her heart.
‘I should at least thank His Majesty.’
She was always attached to Mullia, but for some reason she had an opportunity like this for herself.
At the same time, Flora was convinced.
‘I like Mr. Luke.’
No, it seemed that she couldn’t fully express her own emotions with just this level of expression. Should she say less than half of half of half?
Wishes don’t always come true.
That’s a fact she knows well.
But now, I wanted to fully and fully enjoy this feeling.
Isn’t this kind of joy another driving force in her life?
“I’m already looking forward to tomorrow.”
A bright smile appeared on Flora’s face.

Fortunately, Cecilia recovered her full health after a day. Thanks to that, the four of us were able to get the job done today.
Particularly, Cecilia took care of recruiting dispatched personnel to restore the flood-damaged area when the Hechi River overflowed during her morning duties.
Because of that, the morning hours went by pretty busy. But fortunately, by 6:00 in the evening, she had finished all the paperwork.
“Everyone did a great job. Just go in and get some rest.”
After greeting Cecilia, I left her office.
Then, as expected, Flora came straight to my side.
“Mr. Luke. You know?”
“Sure. It’s an appointment with the young lady of Simonion, how can I forget it?”
A bright smile spread across Flora’s face immediately.
“Secretary. Do you remember what I said yesterday?”
This time, Mulia intervened. When she turned her head, there was a sharp light in her purple eyes.
Ah, that’s what I warned you about yesterday.
“Do I look like someone who would lash out at a woman? It will never happen, so you can rest assured.”
“Right. Mr. Luke is someone you can trust.”
Flora supported my remarks with her.
I think I know a little bit now.
She says that Flora seems to like everyone, but she says that’s just the surface of her. It also meant that she wouldn’t show anyone the trust she showed me.
I will of course repay her trust in her.
In a way, never touch it.
If I didn’t think about what happened next, my escape plan would be disrupted…….
“But I just asked you just in case.”
Enough then, said Mulia. Then she went back to her room.
“Then let’s go to the drawing room, we.”
“Ah. Marquis Lady Would you like to go first and wait? I have something to bring from my room.”
“Really? Then I will go with you.”
I didn’t even worry about it and just screamed.
But that kind of look is Flora-like.
‘I must have wanted to see my room that much.’
“By the way, there really aren’t many, so don’t expect much.”
“I will.”
But contrary to her answer, her emerald eyes shone brightly.
…… Well, in times like these, showing it directly is the best medicine.
I came to my room with Flora. Since Cecilia asked to go on a picnic near the capital, it was to get her map.
I’m a country boy who has only turned 3 months old, so I don’t know much unless I look at the map.
“Oh, this is Mr. Luke’s room… ….”
As soon as I entered my room, Flora looked around the room in low admiration.
From noble mtl dot com
It is like the gesture of an explorer trying to find treasure in an unknown space.
“Isn’t there anything special?”
“No. Traces of Mr. Luke seem to be everywhere.”
“Well, first of all, it’s where I live.”
I pulled out a map of the area around Delerson from my desk drawer. Just in case, I brought extra paper, pens, and an inkwell.
“Daughter of the Marquis Simonion. Now go to the drawing room…….”
I looked back and stopped talking.
Because Flora was sitting on my bed!
“What? Shouldn’t she sit down?”
“Oh, no. It’s not…….”
It won’t be very clean because it’s a blanket with a man’s body odor…….
But I can’t bear to say this with my own mouth…….
“You are really neat and tidy. It’s like Mr. Luke.”
Then Flora threw in a word of her praise. It’s the timing as if you’ve read my insides.
“I’m glad then.”
“Now, let’s go to the drawing room.”
Flora jumped up and came straight to me.
Standing side by side like that, we moved to the drawing room.
* * *
We came to the drawing room on the second floor.
In fact, when I suggested going to the drawing room, I was a little worried about what Flora would do if she asked me to do it in my room.
…… Well, I don’t think it would have been that bad.
Upon entering the parlor, Flora instructed her maid to bring her a drink.
“Now, shall we make a plan?”
Flora, who sat across from her, spoke brightly. I nodded and opened the map on the reception table.
This map was a map showing the surrounding area centered on Delesson.
“Oh my God. When did you get these?”
“I tend to buy a map every time I go out.”
“You are thorough.”
Flora looked at me with her curious eyes. Feeling embarrassed for nothing, I pointed at a part of the map.
“Please look here. I think it will be fine here.”
The place I pointed to was Kus, located 30 minutes from the west gate of Delesson.
“This place is famous for its natural scenery.”
Flora immediately spoke of the merits of Kus.
FYI, that was information I knew. Other than that, I didn’t know much about it.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to spend a relaxing time looking at the scenery?”
“Um… ….”
Flora let out a low moan as she crossed her arms.
It doesn’t look very appetizing.
Then I guess I should choose another region.
I followed her, crossed her arms, and stared at her map.
“Mr. Luke. Have you ever been to Hennessy Lake?”
“No. I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never been there.”
I shook her head, and the corner of Flora’s mouth rose slowly.
“Then would you like to visit? I’ve been there before with His Majesty and Mulia, and I remember having a lot of fun.”
“It’s like a place filled with memories of the three of you.”
“Whoops. When you say that, it feels kind of romantic.”
Seeing him smile so softly, it seemed like he only had good memories.
As she looked at it, she naturally inclined her mind toward Lake Hennessy.
“How are you? Wouldn’t you like to go?”
Just in time, Flora fanned my heart. As if he had understood what I was worried about.
“A lake… ….”
As she blurted out her words, Flora came over her parlor table and took the seat next to me.
“Daughter of the Marquis Simonian?”
What is it?
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
While she blinked her eyes in surprise, Flora came out and pressed her body close together.
The wind touched my forearm with something soft.
‘Oops! This, this feeling…….’
It was a chest!
“Hoo, the Marquis’s daughter? If you suddenly…….”
Flora didn’t care and attached her body to me. Then she whispered in my ear.
“You can also play on a boat. The scenery is also very nice.”
“… ….”
I couldn’t answer anything and went blank.
Because her breath, warmer than what she said, tickled my ear lobe.
Flora finally pulled her body away from me and sat upright.
“It’s not bad to tease him like this sometimes.”
“It’s not good for your heart, Marquis Simonian.”
“At this point, can you call me by name?”
“It is still… ….”
“Huh.”
Flora snorts and shakes her head.
But I know. I mean, I wasn’t really complaining!
“Let’s finish our plan.”
“You’re not coming over.”
We decided to go to Lake Hennessy and plan what to do there. During that time, Flora never left the seat next to me.
With such a beauty next to me, she was honestly a bit nervous.
But seeing her excited like a child while planning a picnic made me feel better too.
At the same time, picnic days were expected.
After all the plans for the picnic were planned, we checked the details one last time.
“I think I can report it to His Majesty tomorrow.”
“Okay. I will do that.”
When I said yes, she nodded her head in agreement as Flora smiled her eyes.
‘Still, I had a good time.’
Going back to my room, I felt very satisfied.
The thought of wishing the weekend would come quickly filled my head.
