Chapter 62 This is not a date
Why did Flora suddenly ask me to go for a walk alone?
Even Mulia, who normally would have said something to me or Flora, didn’t say anything this time.
…… Well, maybe she didn’t hear it because she was so absorbed in her books.
I stood next to her and matched Flora’s stride as she walked along.
She hummed her hum as she seemed to enjoy her walk.
“The Marquis’s daughter. Are you going to our dock now?”
“Hmm. For now?”
“I don’t have a specific destination.”
“Whoops. A walk is originally a walk without a purpose.”
Flora looked up at me with her clear eyes. She sighed and turned her head back to face her.
“How about walking with me?”
Flora asks all these things.
Even though I felt a bit puzzled, I answered the question faithfully.
“Okay. I feel comfortable.”
“Are you comfortable with me?”
…… I feel like I’m trying to dig a little persistently today?
Still, it was true that he was more comfortable than Cecilia and Mulia.
“Yes. There are parts that relate to me to some extent. You also took good care of me from the beginning.”
“I knew right away when I first came to the office. Ah, a gentle-looking person.”
Are you kidding me with this?
But looking at Flora’s expression, I didn’t see the slightest sign of her like that.
It’s also because my lack of qualifications raised its head needlessly.
“I see. Actually, I grew up hearing that I was handsome in my hometown.”
“Um… ….”
Suddenly Flora stopped her steps and stared into my face with her serious eyes.
No way, did you take it seriously?
I just threw it out as a joke.
“Mmm.”
Flora moved her head up and down and side to side, examining my face.
As if appraising a relic.
“Hmm. I’ll give you a passing grade.”
Flora grinned.
“No, aren’t you taking it too seriously?”
“But he says he is handsome, but I have to look closely with my own eyes.”
“We work face to face every day.”
As I replied, Flora flicked her index finger in front of my eyes.
“Ah, you don’t know what. If you look at it up close, it looks different again.”
“After listening to it, it seems like that.”
I was quick to admit.
Looking down from this close up, Flora has a really lovely appearance.
Of course, it didn’t steal my heart.
I’m living like this now because of my position, but my heart is always ready. I mean, I want to leave the country.
“Right?”
Flora, who had no way of knowing what I was thinking, smiled triumphantly as she straightened her shoulders.
We started to move forward again.
It wasn’t long before we reached the dock.
‘Do you want to walk further from here?’
Instead of asking her destination, I decided to leave it to Flora.
She passed her dock and headed for the lawn next to it.
“Mr. Luke. Shall we sit here for a minute?”
“Wait a minute.”
I took out a plain white handkerchief from the inside pocket of my coat. As I was about to spread it in a suitable place, Flora said,
“Please place it further in front of that.”
He said
And designated the location with his index finger.
“Isn’t it too far in front of the lake?”
“It’s okay!”
I spread her handkerchief where she wanted. Flora thanked her and sat down on her handkerchief.
Seeing what she did next, I couldn’t help but open her eyes wide.
“The Marquis’s daughter? Why are you suddenly taking off your shoes?”
“Ah. I want to dip my feet in it.”
A tomboyish expression appeared on Flora’s face.
After taking off her shoes, she pulled up her dress. Thanks to this, the calf that was hidden by the hem of her dress was exposed.
“… ….”
My eyes were stuck there.
The pure white calves were moderately fleshy, showing off their healthy beauty to the fullest.
“Mr. Luke? Please sit here.”
“Oh, yes.”
I barely came to my senses and sat down next to Flora.
“Would you like to try it like me?”
Flora dipped her own feet into her lake!
Right after that, her shoulders trembled. She said, well, she dipped her feet straight into the cold water, so it makes sense.
I decided to check before taking off my shoes.
“How are you? Isn’t it very cold?”
“Yes, it is cold. Still, it feels good to be doing this.”
Flora beckoned her to do it quickly.
At times like this, you should hang out.
I took off her shoes, laid them neatly beside her, and put her feet in her lake, as Flora had done.
“!”
As soon as I put it in, I naturally shook her shoulders. Because the water was so cold.
But after a while, I gradually got used to the water temperature.
“Are you okay?”
“I see.”
I looked at her and nodded her head.
As we looked at each other like that, a light laugh leaked out, regardless of who said it first.
‘Oh, it’s a cozy time.’
Even when I was living in the Nedville estate, I was quite busy, but I could make as much time as I could.
But since I was living in the imperial palace, I couldn’t enjoy that kind of leisure except on weekends.
Especially, we didn’t have much time to gather like this and have a picnic.
Maybe that’s why this moment has come to be special.
Flora hummed her hum and hit her splash lightly. I looked at it and hit her splash a little harder than she did.
But maybe because she was a little too hard, water splashed on Flora’s dress,
“Oops!”
She was startled and suddenly hugged me.
What, what?
What is this embarrassing situation?
“… ….”
The accident stopped. I don’t know how to accept this situation.
Was that such a surprise?
Surprised, enough to hug me?
“Eh, the young lady of the Marquis Simonian?”
“It’s because it’s cold.”
Does that have anything to do with this?
“Then you can just step out of the lake.”
From noble mtl dot com
Flora shook her head. Then she hugged me even tighter.
With that wind, her voluptuous place touched my chest.
No, seriously, why is this woman doing this…….
“Hug me lightly.”
“Yes?”
“Hug me. I think it will be warm.”
Did he suddenly want to act like a fool?
I tried to figure out the situation, but the answer was vague.
Still, I don’t think it’s bad because I’m hugged, right?
After deciding to do her favor, I wrapped my arms around her waist.
She was definitely slender.
‘It looks like it’ll break if you touch it a little wrongly.’
To the extent that such a thought passed through her mind.
We hugged each other for a while and didn’t say a word.
In my ear, I could hear Flora’s intermittent breathing. I could feel her body heat on my chest against her skinny breasts.
…… To be honest, it’s a happy situation.
Paradise is closer than you think.
But I didn’t have much time to keep doing this.
“Me, the young lady of the Marquis Simonian?”
“Call me by name.”
Is this the third request already?
As always, I expressed my intention to refuse.
“I think that would be difficult. I don’t think it’s polite.”
“What am I asking you to do?”
Flora leaned back slightly and met her gaze with me. Her emerald eyes contained the light she longed for.
“No matter what, other people may find it bad.”
“Eight!”
Flora hugged me again!
But this time it was a violent gesture and ended up collapsing on her lawn.
“Please call me by name from now on.”
A strangely prickly tone.
By the way…… Isn’t this a good picture to be misunderstood?
A woman riding on a man lying down.
“What if I refuse?”
“I won’t come down forever.”
I don’t know why his pouty expression looks so cute.
If you set your mind to it, pushing Flora and getting up is nothing.
But if she did, she would leave a bad impression on Flora in many ways.
Actually, there is only one reason why I didn’t want to call them by their names.
Because of that, I was worried that it would make me feel useless.
But now that I think about it, there seems to be no reason to keep insisting on it.
‘No matter what, my goal of resigning and leaving the empire is unwaveringly firm.’
“Mr. Luke.”
“Yes, Lady Flora.”
Unexpectedly, once the wall was broken down, it was easy to call.
“Huh? Just now… ….”
Flora gave a blank expression for a moment. Then she soon turned her face into joy.
“Finally, finally, you call me by name!”
“Can you do anything about the young lady saying she won’t come down? More than anything, she said that Flora, her lady, gave her permission to do it.”
“It would be nice if you called me like that a little earlier.”
Flora raised her upper body and gave me a light slap on the chest.
Even so, the smile still didn’t leave her face.
‘If I knew I would like this, would she have called me a long time ago?’
She’s just trying to get along as her co-worker.
But when she saw that Flora was genuinely happy, she laughed involuntarily.
As if she was infected by her radiating joy energy.
* * *
There was nothing to wipe her feet with, so Flora and I went to her mat in her bare feet.
When I arrived at her mat, Mullia was still absorbed in reading, and Cecilia was enjoying tea alone.
“Now you are here.”
Setting down the teacup, Cecilia stared at me intently.
Your eyes are strangely dissatisfied…….
“You seem to be preoccupied with other things as well as my secretary.”
Cecilia openly nagging her.
It seems that you are more upset than I thought.
You’re not trying to get revenge for writing your name with your butt, are you?
“I apologize, Your Majesty.”
I bent my back again.
But Flora, who was standing next to me, defended me.
“Your Majesty. Mr. Luke accompanied me on a walk at my request. It is just that.”
“Then why are you both back barefoot?”
Flora went to the lake with me and told me in detail what I was doing.
Leaving out the content that suddenly hugged me or knocked me down.
“You mean that?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
This time I responded.
Cecilia glared at me with sharp eyes for a while.
“Luke. If you go back later, let’s have a private meeting with me for a while.”
“Yes?”
“It is an order.”
…… It’s not really because you write your name with your butt, right?
I thought it wouldn’t be, but I couldn’t shake off the ominous feeling.
