Chapter 59 The reason I can’t say anything
Chapter 59 The reason I can’t say anything
I was the first to get off the carriage.
It was to hold the women’s hands so they could safely get off the wagon.
The first person to hold my hand was Cecilia.
“Thank you.”
Cecilia left me a short message of thanks.
Followed by Flora and Mulia. The two women also thanked me when they held my hand.
“Ahhh. I think I will buy some.”
Flora stretched her arms outstretched upward.
Her breasts, which sway slightly with her movements, came into my field of vision.
…… Flora seems to be getting more and more cautious.
Though thanks to this, a situation where the eyes are unexpectedly happy (?) Is created.
“Flora. Keep her classy.”
As expected, Mullia threw her blame at Flora again.
Should I say that Mulia is also very consistent?
“Whoa. Nothing has changed here.”
Hearing Cecilia’s low admiration for her, I turned her head towards her.
She held the view of the lake in her ruby eyes. So I also looked in the same direction as her,
“Wow… ….”
An exclamation of exclamation leaked out.
Even for a lake, it was quite large. Opposite where we were standing was a towering mountain range. It was like watching the knights guarding the lake.
Not a single house could be seen around the lake.
Quiet and peaceful scenery.
It definitely felt more natural than the lake I saw in Korea.
‘If I transfer this to the canvas as it is, it will make a nice picture?’
And if you’re good at it, you might be able to sell it for a very high price.
Unfortunately, I don’t have as much talent for drawing as my fingernails.
“What a picturesque sight!”
“I will.”
Suddenly, Flora and Mulia also joined in the view.
Healing with the scenery as soon as you come on a picnic……. This isn’t too bad
While I was intoxicated by the scenery for a while, the butler called me from behind.
“Secretary. I’m going to lay down a mat. Could you look at the location?”
“Okay.”
That’s right. You have to get things done first.
Still, it was fortunate that I did not install it myself.
I followed the butler. Cecilia and Mulia were immersed in the scenery even in the midst of that.
“Shall I go with you?”
Flora was the only one who looked at me.
“No. It’s a simple thing.”
“Whoops. All right.”
Flora shook her hand, and she responded with my hand too.
The butler stopped under a beautiful tree full of green leaves. There, the hired men who had followed us were discussing what to do with their luggage unpacked.
“The Secretary is here.”
As soon as the butler who came to pick me up gave a voice, all of them focused their attention on me.
Well, this is the attitude of greeting a high-ranking person.
In reality, I’m only in a slightly higher position than them.
Well, since it is a world where the social status system is firmly established, there is nothing we can do about it.
“Hmm. Let’s see…….”
From noble mtl dot com
Preferably, a spot with a flat floor and a lot of shade would be better.
At the same time, it would be great if you could see the lake at a glance.
I looked around the beautiful tree and found a suitable spot. Although it was slightly sunny, it looked good enough to be covered with a parasol.
The butlers laid a mat in the location I pointed out and installed a parasol. The maids set the plates and tea utensils that will be used later.
After confirming everything, I went back to the place where I started looking at the scenery.
But this time Cecilia and her two maids focused their attention on me.
Since I went back and forth alone, it seemed to naturally attract attention.
“You just got back.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. It was all about supervising the work of the employees.”
“I believe you would have reserved a good seat.”
What is this total trust?
But it’s not bad. In any case, the result of hard work to build a good image came back.
“I’m going to take a short walk around the lake from now on, what do you think?”
Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like Flora and Mulia have already voted for it.
Then I only have one option.
“Of course I should go, Your Majesty. It is an honor to walk with you.”
“… ….”
Cecilia didn’t say anything while looking at me with her waist slightly bent. How to say, it seems like they are secretly exerting unspoken pressure.
“You go too far sometimes.”
“I apologize… ….”
I should have just been moderate.
* * *
We walked around the lake at a leisurely pace.
Fortunately, there were roads paved by people, so it was easy to get around.
The three women were followed by maids carrying parasols.
“Nothing has changed here either.”
“I will. We used to run along this road when we were young.”
“Yes. There was a time like that.”
Cecilia, she ran around?
As I listened to Flora’s memories, I tried to picture in my head the scene of young Cecilia running around this place.
…… Not drawn
The Cecilia in my head was precocious even though she was young, and she had the appearance of a well-mannered girl.
“Secretary?”
I shook my shoulders at the sudden call.
“Yes?”
“There is no road there.”
After hearing that, I looked down.
You lost your imagination and almost went straight to the lake!
“Ah. Thank you, Lady of Count Fordward.”
“Be careful.”
Mulia cautioned with her low voice.
Flora and Cecilia turned around to see if they had heard our conversation.
“Oh my God! Shall I push you, Mr. Luke?”
Flora approached me with a kind smile. For reference, both hands were ready to push at any time.
“You are evil, the young lady of the Marquis Simonion… ….”
“Evil. I want to help make it easier to get into the lake.”
You’re a tomboy when you speak in a soft tone.
“Not allowed.”
Flora gave a pitiful look, and I breathed a sigh of relief at her.
“I can’t make you get into the wagon like a drowning mouse.”
Ah, that’s what you were worried about.
I was about to say that I brought a change of clothes, but I quickly bit my molars. If you do, Flora will push you right away.
I hurried back to the middle of the road. We were able to move forward only after regrouping.
Then, a question suddenly came to my mind.
‘If I had really fallen for you, would Ilayna have saved me?’
It’s been almost two weeks since I haven’t seen Ilayna’s face.
What are you trying to do?
I wonder if he’s still keeping track of my movements while hiding himself with something like an invisibility cloak.
Or, at times like today, where are you taking a break?
No matter how extraordinary her physical abilities are, as long as she is human, she will take a break.
I’m curious about her current situation, so I’ll try calling her from her room today or tomorrow.
We kept moving her steps.
However, the lake was so wide that there was no end to it.
“I think I need to take a break.”
At one word from the empress, everyone stopped in unison.
Cecilia exhaled her even breath and turned her body towards her lake.
“It’s a really peaceful place.”
“Right, Your Majesty. All of her stress is relieved while working.”
Everyone laughed silently at Flora’s remark.
It’s true that she doesn’t usually talk, but it was true that she was under a lot of stress because of the paperwork that was constantly being pushed in.
“I agree with the words of the Marquis Simonian.”
“Yes. Neither do I.”
For some reason, I could feel sincerity in Mulia’s voice.
Maybe she felt that way because I said it with all her heart.
“It would be better to go back at this point.”
Cecilia turned her body towards the way she came. But before she took her step, she looked at the view of the lake once more.
“Someday…… When I step down from the throne, I want to live in a place like this.”
“It will be so, Your Majesty!”
“We will support you until the end.”
Her two ladies-in-waiting supported Cecilia in her dreams.
But I couldn’t get a word out. Because we already know what the Eckhart Empire will be like.
“Luke. What do you think?”
Suddenly, a question arrow flew at me. I didn’t panic and said it with my usual expression.
“I will do my best to help Your Majesty achieve his dream.”
“Yes. That’s enough.”
A satisfied expression appeared on Cecilia’s face as she nodded.
* * *
After returning to the beautiful tree, we immediately sat down on the mat.
As soon as Cecilia said that she would eat lunch, the employees immediately prepared the meal.
When it comes to meals, relatively simple items such as sandwiches and soup were all.
Still, it was very sweet, probably because it was eaten outside.
Or maybe it’s because the chef’s skills are outstanding.
After filling our stomachs with sandwiches, we immediately had tea time.
“Drinking black tea while looking at the lake is even more special.”
Cecilia’s tone, which had been removed from the teacup, was more relaxed than usual. It’s usually a little more dignified, though.
She must be proof that her tension has been relieved.
“It’s even better with biscuits.”
“It is certainly as the Marquis Lady said.”
I agreed with Flora’s remarks, and Mullia silently nodded.
Of course, it’s nice to spend the weekend rolling around in bed.
But it was nice that she could spend her time relaxing with a nice view. This is why our ancestors enjoyed taste.
A pleasant cool breeze blew.
Cecilia’s golden hair and Flora’s pink hair fluttered lightly along the wind.
And as I watched it,
‘Surely they are both pretty… ….’
I thought about being extremely manly(?).
As we chatted and enjoyed refreshments from time to time, the biscuit plate was empty.
“Your Majesty. Would you like to go boating now?”
Flora proposed to Cecilia with an expectant look on her face.
“Good.”
If it’s boating…… Should I bring a fishing rod?
I was curious about Mulia’s fishing skills.
“Your Majesty. Would you like to enjoy lake fishing?”
“You mean the one we talked about in the carriage? It will be fun.”
At the talk of fishing, all three women showed expressions of anticipation.
You did well to bring it in advance.
I asked one of the butlers to bring a fishing pole.
“Then, let’s go to the dock.”
Cecilia stood up first, then the three of us.
Lake Fishing…… For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.
