Chapter 61 Cecilia’s Humiliation
Chapter 61 Cecilia’s Humiliation
Now that the betting is over, it’s time to head back to the dock.
“Luke. Please go slowly.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I held the oar in my hand. After casting his eyes once in the direction he was going, he rowed vigorously.
Thanks to having learned the tricks earlier, the ferry went straight to its destination.
“Luke. You can go slowly.”
“Yes. We are going slowly.”
And then I rowed again loudly.
Thanks to that, the boat moved forward coolly.
At this point, Cecilia’s expression distorted. Like a child who has food in front of him that he doesn’t want to eat.
In that case, the answer is to release you from that pain rather quickly.
What is that?
He’s quick to penalize.
…… I can’t say it directly, so I show it with my actions.
“Wow. It’s fun because it moves coolly!”
Flora enjoyed the headwind with his arms raised. Thanks to her, her pink hair, tied into her twin tails, danced lightly in the air.
Mulia looked at her lake while lightly brushing her hair.
Since I was at the back, I could see what they were doing at a glance. Everyone seemed to be enjoying boating, so I became more confident.
“Hryaaap!”
I rowed the oar as hard as I could, putting my spirits into it.
“Luke. Please stop… ….”
Someone gave me a pleading look, but I ignored it lightly.
Thanks to the hard rowing, the ferry quickly reached the dock.
“Keugh… ….”
Cecilia made a face of resentment as her clenched fists trembled.
“Come on, Your Majesty. Take my hand.”
I held out my hand with an attitude of knowing nothing.
“… ….”
Cecilia took one glance at my face and took my hand.
“Whoops. Looks like Luke is looking forward to it too.”
Flora smirked, raising the corners of her mouth.
Cecilia, who had reached her dock first, was taking her steps in the direction of her mat.
“The Marquis’s daughter. Hurry up and follow His Majesty.”
“I was meant to do that anyway.”
As soon as Flora set her feet on her dock,
“Your Majesty! You should go with us!”
I shouted and ran after Cecilia. It’s like a real friendship between friends.
“Secretary. You are good at rowing.”
“After doing it, I came up with a knack. Of course, I won’t be able to go very far.”
Mulia held my hand with a slight smile.
“I saw the fishing skills of the Lady of Count Fordward very well. You said it was great.”
“I went lake fishing a few times for fun at the mansion. I even followed her father.”
“I didn’t say it because I was confident.”
A pale blush appeared on Mulia’s cheeks, perhaps ashamed of my compliments.
Standing on the dock, she didn’t run like Flora, but followed the direction they were heading.
Well, if you leave it to Flora, it’ll work out somehow.
Her heart was already pounding at the thought that she would have a rare sighting soon.
I stepped onto the dock for the last time and moved along with Mulia.
After a while, Flora, who spotted us, beckoned her to come quickly. She was holding Cecilia’s hand with her other hand.
You did an excellent job.
“Haa… ….”
As Mulia and I came closer, Cecilia let out a deep sigh.
“It’s a promise, so I’ll keep it. But… ….”
Cecilia licked her lips and joined her afterwords.
“I will do it where only you can see… ….”
Well, it would be too embarrassing to carry out the punishment in front of all the employees.
There must be an influence on the imperial power as well.
Yes, the minimum dignity and imperial power must be maintained.
“Yes. All right.”
I agreed, and Flora and Mulia followed suit.
“Well, eggplant… ….”
The place Cecilia headed was near the reed field she had seen while taking a walk earlier. I looked around and there were no employees in sight.
It’s a very optimal place to carry out penalties.
On the other hand, it was also strange.
Even if Cecilia says she doesn’t want to do it, no one here can object.
Nevertheless, we could get a glimpse of her sense of responsibility in the way she tried to carry out the penalty. The same goes for thinking about choosing a place like this.
“… ….”
But when I tried to do it, I kept hesitating as if I lacked the courage.
Is it more like me and the two maids watching intently?
“Oh, can I not look at it?”
“Then there will be no penalty!”
Flora immediately retorted, and Cecilia was speechless.
“Should I use my full name? I think I can just say the name…….”
Desperation lingered in her ruby-colored eyes as she looked at me.
I think it would be a bit difficult to use a full name as a butt.
Cecilia Campbell Eckhart.
There must be at least twenty spellings…….
“Yes. You can just say your name.”
Anyway, asking for a full name seems overkill, so I decided to take care of it.
Still, a person the size of an emperor is trying to keep his promise, but I have to do this.
The ladies-in-waiting didn’t argue, as if they had the same thoughts as me.
“Well, then…… Would.”
Cecilia slowly turned around with her fists clenched.
This is truly an unforgettable joke…… It will be a memory.
I glanced at Flora and Mulia’s expressions from a sidelong glance, but their eyes were just shining brightly.
Maybe he has similar thoughts to me.
“Ha, I do… ….”
Cecilia’s shoulders were bobbing up and down her.
He looks like he is taking a deep breath and managing his tension.
After a while, Cecilia hesitantly drew her S shape with her buttocks.
‘I really do it!’
At times like these, it would be nice to have a smartphone.
I should have filmed it so I can never forget it.
The next spelling is lowercase e.
But Cecilia didn’t draw her spelling, so she glanced back.
“… ….”
Please tell me to stop!
…… It is a face that begs earnestly.
But the three of us ignored the signal in Her Majesty’s eyes.
“His Majesty suggested the penalty first!”
Flora even openly urged her to carry out her punishment quickly. It should be said that she is like Flora.
“… ….”
Cecilia cast her gaze alternately towards me and Mulia. It was to the point where I could feel the desperation of trying to hold on to her last rope.
But Mulia didn’t say anything.
‘I’d rather just do it quickly.’
I wanted to give you this kind of advice. But Cecilia and I aren’t quite as open-minded yet, so I’ll have to save my words.
“Haa… ….”
Eventually, Cecilia sighed in despair and turned her head back to normal.
Right after that, she wrote the e, and quickly began to work out her next spelling as well.
It seems she’s determined to end it sooner rather than later.
By the way…… Her twitching hips were funny as she made her movements louder.
She said, to be honest, she wouldn’t be surprised at all if she burst out laughing right now.
But I desperately held back my laughter, clenching my molars.
The moment you burst into laughter after seeing this, you never know what kind of aftereffects you will have later!
‘I’m not the only one holding back, am I?’
I checked Mulia’s expression with a sidelong glance, just in case.
“… ….”
Mulia maintained a calm expression as usual.
…… Oh, look again, the corners of her mouth are twitching.
Then what about Flora?
“… ….”
This side is smiling openly with folded eyebrows.
Still, I should say it’s a relief that she’s covering her mouth with her hand.
“All, all done… ….”
Cecilia turned around again.
She had her arms crossed and she was building her shoulders proudly, but a deep blush remained on her face. Anyone who sees it thinks she’s a blush.
“Is this enough?”
She asked for our opinion in a slightly trembling voice.
By the way, if she answers that she was funny or that she did well, she’s going crazy.
The important thing is not to offend her boss.
“You have worked hard, Your Majesty!”
I let out the most benign words and bent her back slightly.
“Thank you for keeping your promise, Your Majesty.”
“You have worked hard, Your Majesty.”
Following, Flora and Mulia also bent down like me.
“… ….”
Cecilia looked at us with her lips pursed. Then she patted her forehead and let out a deep sigh.
From noble mtl dot com
“So you…… Rather embarrassing……. You better laugh.”
There wasn’t a single crazy person here who would really laugh at Cecilia when she said that.
* * *
After the commotion, everyone returned to their mats.
Cecilia said she wanted to be alone for a while, so she shut herself up in her private carriage.
Employees questioned it. One of them even went to Luke, her assistant secretary, and asked her directly.
“No. You could get hurt if you knew.”
Because Luke waved her hand and warned her, her employees could no longer ask what had happened to Cecilia.
Thanks to Cecilia’s absence, Luke and Flora were able to relax on the wide mat.
Flora was engrossed in her reading comprehension, with her back against her tree.
‘Ah. I feel good.’
Flora closed her eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze brushing her nose.
She then opened her eyes again and turned her head to the side. Luke, who was lying on his back a little away, came into his field of vision.
‘It’s better because I’m doing this with Mr. Luke.’
Perhaps because she was excited, her hum came naturally.
“The daughter of the Marquis of Simonion.”
“Yes.”
Even the answering voice became tender.
“I like the humming sound.”
“Oh my God. Shall we call more often in the future?”
“In the imperial palace, perhaps the Lady of Count Fordward will point it out.”
“That is also true. It’s a shame.”
Flora laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.
It’s just a pointless conversation, but this alone made me feel better. It feels like a warm spring breeze has blown into my heart.
Flora decided to be a little more greedy.
She wants to spend time alone with Luke.
“Mr. Luke. Would you like to take a short walk with me?”
Flora brought out her usual bright tone.
But her heart was beating a little faster than usual.
“… ….”
Looking like he was worried, Luke didn’t immediately give an answer.
Still, Flora seemed to know how he would respond to her proposal. Because he never turned down his offer.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
This time, too, it went as expected by Flora.
‘Good!’
Flora stood up first, followed by Luke.
Let’s get a little closer.
Flora looked at Luke’s profile and made up her mind.
