Episode 162 The index fingers touched
I tried to go back to the room. Then, a commotion was heard from the room where Flora was staying.
Unable to ignore this, I knocked on the door.
“Mr. Luke. “Come quickly!”
Flora threw open the door, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me inside.
Cecilia, Mulia, and Emma were also there. They must have been gathered together and chatting while I was away.
I have now become quite familiar with the picture of Emma among the royal palace trio.
“Did everyone have a good time?”
When I asked everyone, they all unanimously answered yes.
Since we’re gathered indoors like this, would it be a good idea to play a card game?
When I suggested a card game, everyone agreed that it was a good idea.
So, I enjoyed playing various games with trump cards with the four women. As we chatted and enjoyed refreshments, it quickly became evening.
“Emma. “I’ll walk you home.”
“Thank you, Luke.”
Emma comfortably called me by my name even in front of the three members of the imperial palace.
“Please be careful.”
Cecilia spoke to me.
If you look at the tone, it was the same as usual, and I said I would do the same as usual.
“Miss Emma. See you tomorrow too.”
Mulia lightly shook her hand. Finally, Flora jumped up from her chair.
“I want to go with you too. Is that okay, Miss Emma?”
“Oh, yes. Sure.”
You don’t even get my permission.
Flora gave me a wide smile.
“Aren’t you asking me?”
“I thought, of course, Mr. Luke would allow it.”
“Huh, indeed.”
I laughed out loud because it was so absurd.
But, as Flora said, I had no intention of refusing her companion.
“Okay. “Let’s go together.”
The three of us left the mansion.
We chatted occasionally as we walked leisurely along a quiet country road.
So I quickly reached Emma’s house.
“Emma. “Are you coming tomorrow too?”
“Yes. “I intend to.”
“Miss Emma. “I had fun today too.”
“Me too, Lady Flora.”
We shook hands and Emma responded by bowing her back.
After confirming that Emma had entered her house, I returned to the mansion.
“By the way, why did the young lady come with me?”
“Well, I don’t know. “What is it?”
Flora chuckled.
Is this a quiz?
“I understand what it is. “Is it because you like me?”
My eyes twitched and Flora blinked her eyelids.
Are you reacting as if you were stabbed in the head?
“Is it true?”
Flora laughed when she asked again, over her voice.
“Mr. Luke. “You were embarrassed earlier, right?”
“Wow, I got it right… ….”
As I slapped my forehead, Flora burst into laughter as if she had been waiting.
“Actually, that’s true, but… ….”
“Yes?”
Suddenly Flora muttered something, but she couldn’t hear it.
When she asked again, she waved her hand, saying Flora was nothing. Then she put her real point in her mouth.
“I’d like to say it one more time, just in case.”
What are you talking about?
I stared at Flora’s face, trying to read her thoughts.
It’s definitely cute because I keep looking at it like this.
…… No, not this.
Still, I soon realized the intention behind her words.
“Did you mean to say that she would like to restore the awkward relationship between Empress Cecilia and Her Majesty?”
“As expected, if you pretend, you pretend.”
Flora nodded her head with a satisfied expression on her face.
“I’m going to go and talk to you privately tonight.”
“Just do as I told you.”
I promised her that if everything goes well, I will let her know.
“hehehe. “I need to think in advance about what kind of reward I will receive from Mr. Luke.”
Well, I think you’re drinking kimchi soup too early.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you say you would give me a gift for guiding me to the territory?”
“Ah! “Then wouldn’t it be okay if we just give it to each other?”
Flora smiled her eyes and raised her index finger.
Well, I guess that’s not that bad either.
When she said yes, Flora clapped her seals.
“Oh, and there’s something I’d like to ask you personally.”
“You seem very interested in me.”
“Of course. “We will continue to work together in the future.”
“Well. That too. So what are you curious about?”
Then Flora poked her right cheek with her index finger and let out a yelp in her voice.
“I wonder what Luke likes. “Please let me know.”
Did you follow me all the way here just to encourage me and ask me something?
In a way, it’s really amazing…….
Still, I thought of the sincerity of following you all the way here, so I answered with sincerity.
Soup made with lots of gold and cava.
“Would this be enough to satisfy my curiosity?”
“Of course! “Thank you for letting me know.”
Flora responded with a bright voice and smiled.
But I was the one who should really be thankful. Because he cares until the end so that he can properly resolve the misunderstanding with Cecilia.
I expressed that mind in the form of language.
“I am truly grateful.”

Before I knew it, it was almost bedtime.
But I didn’t change into pajamas. I was going to head to Cecilia’s room now.
‘There’s no need to be so determined.’
It’s just a slight adjustment of the slightly misaligned teeth to return them to their original state.
I strode down the hallway. It wasn’t long before I arrived at her door.
After taking a deep breath, I knocked.
“Your Majesty. “The secretary, Luke Nedville, is here.”
I heard a voice from the inside prompting me to come in and out. I carefully opened the door and went inside.
“What brought you here at this hour?”
Cecilia greeted me as she sat on the bed as if she was about to go to bed.
Anyway, since the time is late, it would be better to deliver only the key points quickly.
“Your Majesty. There is something that keeps bothering me, so I came to visit you like this.”
“!”
Cecilia shook her shoulders.
At last, a nervous light appeared on her face.
“…… “I see.”
An empress who is nervous in front of a secretary or something…….
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like a strange composition had formed.
But I could definitely feel it too.
The fact that the expression I am making right now is not that different from the expression she is making on me.
“I and Your Majesty are cousins…….”
“… ….”
I clearly saw Cecilia cupping her hands that were placed on her legs.
“Now I can accept her with my head and my heart.”
“… ….”
Cecilia didn’t make any sound. But the nervous look on her face seemed to have subsided.
“And here I would like to swear again.”
“What…” ….”
I sat right there on one knee of her. And she bowed her head.
When I actually wanted to say it, I felt a little embarrassed.
But I can’t back down after coming this far!
I closed my eyes tightly and followed exactly what Flora told me.
“Even though I am second cousins with Your Majesty, I, as your secretary, swear that I will remain loyal to Your Majesty until the end.”
There was silence in the room.
I maintained my posture and waited for Cecilia to order me to stand up. But no matter how long I waited, Cecilia didn’t say anything.
“Hey, Your Majesty?”
I raised my head and spoke carefully.
“Ah! “I’m sorry.”
Then she instructed that it was okay to get up. I stood up again and looked her in the eye.
“That oath…… “Are you sincere?”
The tone in which he asked seemed oddly trembling.
Maybe it’s just my imagination…….
“Yes. “That’s right.”
As soon as I answered in a clear tone, I noticed something strange. Cecilia’s red eyes suddenly became lively.
Ah, now the slightly misaligned cogs have been aligned again.
I was convinced of this by looking at her eyes.
From noble mtl dot net
“I never thought you would swear like this.”
Cecilia got up from the bed. Then he carefully approached me, one step at a time.
Soon, she stopped on the street just one step away from me.
“Luke.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Wait a minute… ….”
Cecilia raised her index finger high up to her chest. Her small, slender fingers slowly moved forward and soon touched my left chest.
“Your Majesty?”
I blinked my eyelids because I didn’t know what to say. Isn’t Cecilia the type of person to do anything this actively?
A faint line appeared at the corner of Cecilia’s mouth.
“It’s a sign of gratitude for the oath.”
A softer tone than usual.
But it was somewhat difficult to fully understand the meaning of what she said.
“Is that so?”
“My sincerity will also be conveyed to you like this.”
Ah, that was the intention.
“I can definitely feel it.”
“Then that’s a good thing.”
It was only then that Cecilia withdrew her index finger. Then she went back to bed and sat down.
“It’s late. “Let’s just go in and rest.”
“Yes. Your majesty.”
“And…… “I don’t want to be awkward with you anymore.”
I was immediately startled by his sallow face that he didn’t usually show.
However, I worked hard to control my facial expression so as not to show surprise, and fortunately, I was not caught.
“Yes. That goes for me too.”
“I’m so glad you feel the same way.”
She motioned for Cecilia to leave.
“I hope you have a peaceful night, Your Majesty.”
After giving her a polite greeting, I left her room.
But I couldn’t go back to my room right away, so I leaned against the wall and sighed. It was her relief that her relationship with him had been restored to the way it was.
However, that was not the end.
I placed her right hand on her chest. I felt a strong beat in my palm.
‘Suddenly he showed a side of himself that he didn’t usually show…’ ….’
But why does the heart react this way?
I couldn’t guess.
However, I felt like I somehow knew one thing.
It was the fact that a definite change had occurred in the relationship landscape surrounding me.
