Chapter 82 Could be a demonic man?
Chapter 82 Could be a demonic man?
I went to the staff bath and washed myself with hot water.
Thanks to this, I was able to completely relieve the fatigue accumulated from walking around all day today.
Well, I enjoyed working with Flora in many ways.
I burst into laughter lightly after wiping off the water on my body.
If anyone had seen it, they would have considered it crazy. It was a pity there was no one in the locker room.
After putting on my clothes, I returned to my room.
Should I study with a book on Sergel Kingdom until bedtime?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t hurt to study about culture and history.
“I should sit down and think about it.”
I spat out a word and sat down in front of the desk.
Shortly after that, I realized that there are things I need to do before studying.
“That’s right, a letter!”
The sight of a happy family in the park this morning reminded me of my hometown without even realizing it.
A life so busy that you can’t even think of writing a letter.
As expected, the job of being a direct secretary is exhausting. X feet…….
I desperately want to quickly write my resignation and stand out anywhere, whether it be Sergel Kingdom.
‘Do I have to endure for another 8 months to write my resignation?’
As I counted the remaining days, a long sigh came out of my mouth.
This is very similar to the feeling of waiting for a discharge date.
No. You can’t break your heart here.
From a slightly different point of view, over the past four months, I have been adapting to this hectic and bloody place in my own way.
At times when I had to be fierce, I tried my best to be fierce.
Thanks to that, he succeeded in winning not only the trust of Flora and Mulia, but also the trust of Empress Cecilia.
‘Yes. I can somehow survive the remaining eight months.’
Your thoughts went the other way for a while.
I shook my head vigorously and pulled out two sheets of stationery from a drawer.
One was to be sent to her family and the other to Emma.
I decided to write a letter to my family first.
“I will have to try the pen I received as a gift.”
I opened the box and carefully took out a gold pen.
Flora’s financial ability to build this expensive thing is really…… Even now, when I think about it, all I can say is that it is amazing.
I’m not being sarcastic, I mean it.
After thinking about the contents for a while, I dipped the nib into the inkwell. Then I wrote a letter.
Summarizing the contents, it was as follows.
It has already been four months since I came to the imperial palace.
Thanks to not only the Empress, but also the ladies-in-waiting and staff who treat me well, I’m more comfortable than I thought.
They say they’ll give you a vacation in the summer, but then you’ll definitely want to go back to your hometown, and so on.
“Hmm. I can do this.”
I put the letter in an envelope.
Now it’s time to write a letter addressed to Emma.
“Hmm… ….”
This is so strange.
Why do I have so many things I want to say when writing a letter to Emma?
Thanks to this, unlike the letter I sent to my family, I spent a lot of time thinking about it.
‘The story of going out with Flora today…….’
No, to think such crazy(?) Thoughts!
I shook my head vigorously and shook the thought away.
I have to be careful because she cares about this even though she pretends not to be Emma.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to tell the story of what happened in the imperial palace.
“… ….”
After concentrating on writing the letter, I checked the contents once more.
“This is enough.”
I carefully placed the new pen in the pen holder and put the letter in the envelope.
I even sealed two envelopes with wax and put them in a drawer.
‘Should I send it by express mail this time?’
Unlike free mail, which costs nothing, you will have to pay a little money for this service.
In the meantime, I didn’t spend the money because it was a waste.
But it wouldn’t hurt to use it once in a while.
I want my family and Emma to receive this letter as soon as possible.
“I should stop by the post office right before I go to work.”
Having captured my thoughts, I opened the book 「The Language of Sergel Kingdom」 And started studying.

Flora went to Mullia’s room to deliver her gift.
Smart.
“Who are you?”
Mulia’s calm voice came from behind the door.
“It’s me.”
Flora raised a tickling voice against the door. After a while, the door that had been firmly closed opened.
“Good night, Flora.”
“Sure. What a peaceful and happy night.”
“… ….”
Mulia looked at her friend with a pretty eye smile.
In her opinion, she only had one reason for Flora to feel her happiness.
Wandering around with Luke all day today!
“You must have had a lot of fun today.”
Immediately after uttering her words, Mullia shook her shoulders.
Even she heard it herself, it felt like she was trying to sarcasticize Flora.
Even though I had no intention of doing that.
“Oh my God. Are you jealous?”
But Flora responded with a smirk.
“How many times do I have to say that it’s not like that?”
“Really? No matter how you look at it, it’s like jealousy…….”
“If you came here to talk nonsense, please leave.”
Flora said she felt that Mullia, unlike usual, she was pouting.
‘Perhaps he could be really jealous?’
But Flora didn’t scrape her sores. She
She Instead, she revealed her purpose for coming to Mullia.
“Actually, I prepared something for you, not just a present for my father.”
“A present?”
Flora held out the gift box she had been hiding behind her back.
“Tada!”
“Flora… ….”
A mixture of joy and surprise appeared on Mulia’s face. Seeing her like that, she thought that Flora, and that she was also good at buying presents for everyone.
Mulia received the gift box with her careful hands.
“May I open it?”
“Of course not. Let’s go inside.”
Flora naturally entered her Mullia’s room.
Mulia sat at her desk and carefully opened her box. Right after that,
“Wow… ….”
He let out a low exclamation.
The item in the box was a gold pen, so it had to be.
I knew there was such a pen, but it was so expensive that I couldn’t even afford it…….
Mulia looked around with her pen in her hand.
‘I like it too. Thank god.’
Flora felt proud watching her beside her.
“Flora. You didn’t just buy mine, did you?”
To Mullia’s question, Flora immediately said no and shook her head.
“I have prepared things for myself, Mr. Luke, and for Her Majesty Cecilia.”
“As expected… ….”
“How is it? Do you like it?”
“Thank you. I will save it.”
Mulia carefully put her gold pen into her pen holder. Then she spoke to Flora again.
“Flora. What did you and Luke do today?”
“As expected, I was curious.”
“It’s just that I’m a little concerned…….”
Flora took an extra chair and sat next to Mulia.
Then, in Mullia’s eyes, she was young with both shyness and anticipation at the same time.
Flora told me in a pleasant tone what she and Luke did today.
“It’s like…… It sounds like a date.”
When pronouncing her date, Mullia unknowingly felt ashamed.
“I can do that too. When she suggested that we go out together, Mr. Luke said. Is this a date request?”
“Yes?”
From noble mtl dot com
Mullia opened her eyes wide.
The secretary said that first…… Did you?
Flora smiled heartily at the expression of her Mullia.
If she was the old Mulia, she would have thought so.
‘That means he thinks well of Mr. Luke.’
Or…… That she has a crush on her more than that.
Should I ask you one more time?
Flora tried to part her lips, but stopped.
Because if she’s Mullia, she’s going to deny it anyway.
“Anyway, I heard the story well. I’ll sleep now, so have a good night, Flora.”
“Yes. Good night, Mulia.”
After leaving Mullia’s room, Flora decided that this time she should deliver her gift to Cecilia.
* * *
“Your Majesty. Good night.”
Flora greeted Cecilia as soon as she entered her room.
Cecilia greeted her in her armchair.
“What did you come for?”
“I went out with Mr. Luke today. At the same time, I have prepared presents for Your Majesty and others besides my father’s.”
“Whoa. It’s a gift……. I am curious.”
A thin smile appeared on Cecilia’s lips.
Flora presented her gift box to her.
“Can I open it right now?”
“Of course.”
Opening her gift box, Cecilia looked at her gold pen in amazement.
“It must have been expensive… ….”
“Whoops. This is a gift from my heart, so please feel free to use it.”
“It feels like a luxury item.”
As Cecilia looked around at her pen, she was puzzled. She said that Flora did not answer anything of her own.
“Flora?”
“Does it sound like a luxury item? I knew His Majesty would like it, so I picked it…….”
Cecilia let out a deep sigh when she saw her openly pouting expression.
She must have wanted to see her happy receiving a gift.
We’ve known each other since childhood, so we knew each other’s tendencies to some extent.
“No. Thank you, Flora. I will make good use of it.”
“Yes. If you write comfortably, I will be honored, Your Majesty.”
A smile as bright as the sun appeared on Flora’s face.
Cecilia got herself up from her armchair and carefully set her gift down on her desk.
“Did Mulia and Luke get the same thing as me?”
“Yes. It fit. By the way, I have mine too.”
The tone of Flora’s answer was like she was singing.
“Flora. Sit down for a while. I have a question.”
“Are you curious about what you did with Luke?”
Flora stabbed it without thinking.
“… ….”
To my surprise, Cecilia didn’t answer.
Flora knew what it was like when Cecilia didn’t answer her questions.
A silent affirmation.
‘Isn’t His Majesty curious about this as well as Mulia?’
How far is Mr. Luke trying to charm us?
As Flora was lost in her wild thoughts, Cecilia suddenly raised her voice.
“It is only to grasp the trend of my subordinates.”
“I see.”
But Flora didn’t take her answer straight away.
It was because Cecilia’s attitude toward Luke was markedly different from that of her former secretary, Count Milord.
Cecilia showed no interest in the private life of Count Milord.
She only treats her as her subordinate.
But now, her attitude toward Luke was the complete opposite. She even asks what she was doing when she went out…….
Anyway, there was only one conclusion Flora could draw.
‘Mr. Luke. He might be a demonic man…….’
