Chapter 88 Like it won’t be stolen

That evening.

Because Cecilia and I came back late from a conference today, we were able to finish our work at 7pm, an hour later than usual.

Still, this is good enough.

When the paperwork was really overdue, it sometimes ended at 8pm.

Perhaps the concept of overtime does not exist anywhere else, right?

My family and Emma should be enjoying dinner in a harmonious atmosphere by now.

‘I envy you…… ,’

“Wait, I have something to tell you.”

As soon as I heard Cecilia’s voice, I was freed from her thoughts.

Flora and Mulia, including myself, all turned their gazes toward Cecilia.

From noble mtl dot com

“First, Flora, Mulia.”

“Yes.”

“Yes. Your majesty.”

As soon as the names were called, the two maids immediately responded in a loud voice.

“I want to tell you the good news first.”

“Good news?”

Flora’s voice filled with expectations.

Cecilia nodded and opened her mouth.

“I have been helped in many ways through Duke Kailos and his acquaintances. As a result, she succeeded in sending a letter to Sergel Kingdom.”

“Oh my God!”

She made a surprised face as Flora covered her mouth.

“You’ve already made it that far… ….”

Mulia was equally impressed.

Perhaps they, too, were wondering if Cecilia and I were doing well. Today, Cecilia finally scratched their itch.

“The more pleasant news is that Sergel Kingdom agreed to meet with us.”

Cecilia’s tone as she explained was deeply imbued with pride.

Well, since you’ve achieved this result, you’re probably informing the ladies-in-waiting.

Scarcely after Cecilia’s words were finished, the two maids said that it went well and were delighted as if it were their own work. Thanks to this, I could see the corners of her Cecilia’s mouth rise a little more than usual.

Well, I’m happy too.

“So, sooner or later, I plan to organize an envoy and send it to Sergel Kingdom. If there is anyone you know who is proficient in diplomacy, please recommend it.”

“Um… ….”

Flora let out her moaning voice, revealing her penchant for trouble.

Mulia was also immersed in her thoughts with her eyebrows narrowed.

‘Couldn’t you expect that from me too?’

She looked carefully at Cecilia just in case.

“… ….”

Fortunately, she paid no attention to me this time.

That’s right.

As someone from a remote village in the countryside, how much do I have when it comes to personal connections?

At least, it was at the level of people who knew about the Nedville Manor and the surrounding manor.

“Your Majesty. I’m sorry, but I can’t remember it right now.”

Flora had a hint of regret in her tone.

Cecilia only nodded once as if she understood.

“Instead, I will ask her parents in a letter.”

“Good idea.”

Right after the two finished their conversation, Mullia opened her mouth.

“Among my parents’ acquaintances, there is a Viscount Morlis. I also met him a few times.”

“Whoa. That’s a name I’ve never heard of before.”

Cecilia’s eyes staring at Mullia were showing off her charm. That was clear evidence that he was interested.

“Yes. Because of her status, she has never been directly involved in politics. However, her parents told her that he was a man of constant study and multifaceted knowledge. I think he will fit the type of person His Majesty wants.”

“Hmm. He is a talented person who can be expected just by listening to his explanation.”

A look of satisfaction appeared on Cecilia’s face.

“Mulia. Can you contact Viscount Morlis?”

“Yes. I will.”

“Thank you.”

Mulia lightly bent her back toward Cecilia.

“Everyone worked hard. Just go back and rest.”

As soon as she was ordered to leave, her maids and I jumped up from our chairs.

I wonder if I can get a good rest today?

“Luke. You come to my room at 9:00.”

A Mr. Then it is.

This is why people shouldn’t have unreasonable expectations…….

I know very well why they are looking for me, though.

‘I’m going to have to shake my head again tonight.’

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I lowered my head and let out a low sigh.

* * *

I went to Cecilia’s room just in time for 9pm.

She greeted me in a desk chair, not in an armchair as usual.

Looking at the paper lying on the desk, it looked like he was thinking of a reply to send to Sergel Kingdom.

“Your Majesty has been having a lot of trouble lately.”

“What? It takes a lot of effort and time to promote something new.”

I agree with what she said.

“I feel a little sorry that I seem to be pampering you too much lately.”

“It’s all right, Your Majesty. I firmly believe that you will reward me later.”

After trembling slightly, Cecilia let out a short laugh.

“The day will come when you joke with me.”

…… Did you just say it?

By the way, those words contain half of my sincerity.

First of all, I’ll have to watch Cecilia’s reaction a little longer and try to calm her down.

“I was thinking of rewarding you as much as possible even if you didn’t say anything. So, hang on to worrying about that part.”

What?

You got a better answer than I thought?

“… ….”

“Are you hoping for a bigger reward?”

“Oh no! Because I was worried that I might have said something too presumptuous… ….”

Before I could finish my words, Cecilia laughed.

“Considering the merits you have accumulated so far, wouldn’t it be natural to give out a reward? However, the trade issue with Sergel Kingdom comes first, so let’s talk about that later.”

“Just what His Majesty said, it seems that my strength is welling up.”

“Then you don’t have to give a reward?”

“… ….”

I ended up becoming a Hapjuki.

I’ll just say yes.

It looks like you couldn’t even get the reward you promised because you made fun of your mouth wrong.

While muttering inwardly, Cecilia raised the corners of her mouth. It was only after seeing her that I could realize that she had thrown her jokes.

“Don’t worry, I just said it.”

“Yes, I trust you, Your Majesty.”

Cecilia nodded once, then instructed me to bring a chair. I took one of the stools hanging out in her corner and sat down next to her.

“First of all, I am thinking of writing a letter to send an envoy to Sergel Kingdom.”

“Are you going to make a list of delegations then?”

“Yes.”

Then what I have to do has been decided.

Translating the letter written by Cecilia into Sergel Kingdom.

Now that Count Clusio said he was leaving Dellesson, it was like I was taking over the translation and interpretation work.

Thanks to learning hard in a short period of time, I was now confident in interpreting and translating.

“I will also look at the contents.”

“Please.”

After thinking about it some more, Cecilia began to carefully write down the sentence.

Summarizing the contents in one line, it is as follows.

Thank you for the positive reply, we will be sending a delegation, so I hope you will welcome me well.

“Does this seem enough to you?”

“Yes. I think you can translate it right now.”

I translated her letter into the kingdom language in front of Cecilia’s eyes.

After Cecilia checked the letter I had translated, she put the letter in an envelope with the golden dragon, the symbol of the Eckhart Empire, drawn on it.

Perhaps when I leave this room, I will call someone to send the mail.

“Now we must discuss the delegation.”

The people whom Cecilia, out of luck, mentioned first were some of the employees of the department in charge of foreign affairs in the imperial family.

“You are finally moving the foreign affairs department.”

“Now is the time to bring it to the surface. Isn’t it the right time for you to think?”

“If there is a reply about the delegation, it won’t be too late to announce it then.”

“…… Come to think of it, it might be safer that way.”

Cecilia immediately accepted my opinion.

“Yes. As Duke Kailos said, we are going with the pay-out strategy. So that no matter how the aristocrats protest, they can suppress it.”

“Pick it up, la… ….”

She made an interesting face.

Well, the choice of words was a little cheesy, but the meaning was clearly conveyed.

“Just hearing the words makes me feel refreshed.”

We had a conversation again to come up with a list of envoys.

“Your Majesty. By the way, does this delegation include me?”

When I asked just in case, Cecilia showed her expression of being immersed in her troubles for a moment.

Why are you worried?

There must be no one among the members of the delegation who can speak the language of Sergel Kingdom.

“I’ll have to think about that a bit more.”

Cecilia turned her head this way.

The moment I met her ruby eyes, I felt a sense of wonder.

I couldn’t understand why he would worry about that.

‘Ah, maybe…… Is that it?’

Isn’t it because if I belong to the delegation, there will be a gap in the paperwork?

Well, if that’s the case, there should be room for understanding.

I thought I should reassure her, then I opened her mouth.

“Your Majesty. While I’m in the Empire, I’ll do my best to work…….”

“Not because of that.”

“Yes?”

I was taken aback by Cecilia’s reaction.

If it’s not because of work, then what is it?

I tried hard to roll her head. But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t guess…….

There was a strange look in her ruby-colored eyes as she looked this way, as if she was trying not to take away what she cherished.

‘Why are you doing that, really?’

As I blinked my eyelids, Cecilia sighed and shook her head.

“No. Forget what I just said.”

“Yes, Your Majesty… ….”

“First of all, let’s think about the delegation a bit more before coming up with it. Flora and Mulia also said they were looking for talented people.”

After finishing her conversation, Cecilia tugged at her seungleong-line and called her butler.

“Call the head of the post department.”

After a while, the head of the postal department came to her room.

“Please deliver this letter yourself to Sergel Kingdom.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

It must have been a while since you came back from Sergel Kingdom, but I’m going again.

I prayed for him in my heart.

Around 15 days had passed since the letter was delivered, a reply came back from the Kingdom.

The content of the reply was that the delegation would be welcomed.

Cecilia informed Duke Kailos of this news. That’s what she requested that members of the imperial faction actively support her.

Now, there is only one thing left.

The only thing that was to be discussed was trade with Sergel Kingdom during the meeting of the nobles.
