Chapter 10 What did I do wrong?

“Mulia?”

Surprisingly, Flora stared at Mullia with her wide-open eyes.

She was quite surprised when Mullia suddenly spoke to her at an unexpected timing.

Looks like I wasn’t the only one who felt that.

“Hmm?”

Only then did Cecilia, who was in the lead, stop her steps and look back.

“Is something wrong?”

Her red eyes looked alternately at me, Mulia, and Flora. The one who answered the question of the Empress was none other than Flora.

“Looks like Mulia has something to say to Mr. Luke.”

“Huh? Surprisingly.”

Cecilia also showed the same reaction as Flora.

A pale blush appeared on Mulia’s cheeks, probably because she was receiving attention from the three at the same time.

After watching her for close to a month, her personality, which she grasped, was definitely very similar to her original work. She treats everyone with a very businesslike and rigid attitude except for those she considers to be really close.

And that her timid personality is hidden behind her sullen face.

Thanks to her, she was able to realize it again.

‘It’s really the same as the one from the original.’

Well, the same goes for Flora and Cecilia.

“What are you talking about?”

Cecilia’s openly asked questions had a hint of curiosity on her face.

“I just have something to say personally.”

“Hmm. It’s odd that I’m too intrusive. The break time is until 2 o’clock, so don’t be late.”

Me and Mulia simultaneously greeted Cecilia.

As Cecilia and Flora exited the dining room together, Mullia jerked her head right in this direction.

“Follow me.”

A strangely sharp voice?

Did I do something worth living for?

I tilted her head and followed her steps. Mulia strode away without saying a word.

It wasn’t long before we were out of the imperial palace.

Mulia stopped her steps near a deserted flower bed. Then he jerked back towards me.

“Hey, what did you bring me here to say?”

I asked because I was genuinely curious, and Mulia slightly frowned.

“Secretary. Don’t be smug about being acknowledged a little by His Majesty.”

What is it?

I’ve never been like that?

As she blinked her eyes, not knowing what she meant, Mullia let out her soft sigh. There was a subtle displeasure in the amethyst-like eyes that stared at my face.

“…… What is your answer?”

“I don’t understand why you suddenly say that.”

I answered honestly.

People aren’t soft enough to answer yes without even knowing English.

Mulia put on a puzzled expression.

“You seem to have a darker voice than I thought.”

“You know. I am a newcomer who has only been in the imperial palace for a month.”

“… ….”

She shrugged, and Mullia glared at her fiercely.

Could you just explain this?

…… I wanted to say, but she is the eldest daughter of Count Fordward.

It wasn’t something someone like me, the second son of a baron, could talk about carelessly.

It’s a little unfair, but it’s wise to endure it even if you think about the future troubles.

“I don’t trust you. No, I cannot be trusted.”

Hmm. How am I supposed to accept this?

To be honest, I am a little embarrassed. I didn’t know that she would express her feelings of dislike for me because she doesn’t show her feelings well.

“What is the reason?”

“I don’t want to say that.”

Mulia resolutely responded.

Did he do something wrong without my knowledge?

While diligently reviewing her memories, Mulia spoke.

“Anyway, don’t try to be friendly with Her Majesty Cecilia and Flora. I will keep an eye on you.”

She glared at me for a few seconds, then twisted her body and headed for the imperial palace.

It was only then that I felt like I understood a little bit why Mulia warned me.

Cecilia, Flora, and Mulia are childhood friends who have grown up together since childhood. But suddenly I, a man of my age, was selected as my direct secretary and we are together in the same office, so I must have been wary.

“Okay. Situation completed.”

So what am I going to do?

I’ll pay attention.

I just have to take care of my own business and prepare well to leave the Eckhart Empire.

* * *

There was still an hour before the afternoon work began.

Although I wasted about 20 minutes talking useless with Mulia. Well, that’s just because I decided to stop caring.

You don’t have to look good for someone who says they don’t like you, right?

Cecilia has selected me as her direct secretary, and she has a good impression of me because of the last incident.

I fell in love with Flora from the first time I saw her.

Of the three, the only one who doesn’t like me is Mulia.

Well, there is a saying like this.

There are people who hate me for no reason.

There is no reason to spend all my energy trying to change that person’s mind.

Of course, it would be very desirable to be friendly with the people in the office. But what are the odds that such an ideal case holds?

Above all, I have no desire to work here for more than a year.

The moment you leave here, you will never see Mulia again.

The same goes for Cecilia and Flora, of course.

I was rolling around on the bed in my room and then I jumped up.

“Right. I was going to write a letter to Emma the other day.”

Muttering to myself, I got off the bed. When I thought of this, I had to put it into practice right away, otherwise I could forget about it again and put it off.

I sat down at my desk and took out a paper and a pen.

What should I write?

From noble mtl dot com

Should I write about something that happened recently?

…… No. There’s no need to tell a gloomy story.

“Hmm… ….”

No matter how hard I try, I can only think of what I experienced in the imperial palace.

Well, I have no choice but to do that.

Since entering the imperial palace, there has not been a single day outside the imperial palace…….

Unlike general employees, direct secretaries must apply separately to go out on weekends. Of course, the one who reviews and approves the application is Empress Cecilia, the most noble person in the Empire.

‘I’ll have to go out soon.’

It is absolutely not a reason to enjoy the capital, Dellesson. I was thinking of setting up a secret bank account so that I could siphon off the money because my paycheck would come in the future.

I’ll have to put this into practice next week.

Now, the priority is to fill in the blank paper in front of you.

I thought about it with my arms crossed, but it didn’t last long. I was sure that if it was Emma, she would like it just by telling me about her daily life in the imperial family.

I dipped my quill in black ink and quickly wrote down the letter. After a month of paperwork, I was able to quickly fill a sheet of paper because my writing speed had increased.

But when I checked, it was said that more than 80% of the contents had worked.

…… Are you trying to have fun with this?

I don’t want to go through the trouble of rewriting.

My worries didn’t last long.

“Let’s send it. It could be fun for Emma.”

Muttering to myself, I put the letter in an envelope and delivered it to the imperial postman.

* * *

Mulia warned Luke and went straight to Flora’s room. Her Flora greeted her with her bright smile.

“Did you just get back?”

“Yes.”

Mulia naturally sat down in front of the round tea table.

“Would you like a cup of tea?”

“Good.”

Flora called her maid straight away by pulling her sequins. She asked for two cups of black tea and simple finger food.

After a while, black tea and biscuits were served on the tea table.

“What did you talk about with Mr. Luke?”

Mullia, who was just about to drink black tea, jerked her shoulder. She carefully set the glass down.

“You’re asking openly.”

“Yeah, I’m curious. It bothers me too.”

A smirk appeared on Flora’s face.

“… ….”

Mullia only munched her lips and she didn’t really make a sound. Seeing this, her Flora decided to stab her some more.

“Did you ask me to go out with you?”

“That can’t be!”

She was always a Mulia who spoke in a calm tone, but she wasn’t like that now. And this was just as Flora had intended.

“Oh my God! Are your cheeks flushed?”

“Oh no… ….”

Flora laughed out loud when she saw Mulia hesitating.

“Flora lives for the fun of teasing me all the time, right?”

Mullia puffed out her cheeks as a sign of her displeasure, but Flora only laughed even louder at the sight of her cuteness.

“Stop laughing, please.”

“But, what can I do when the reaction is so funny?”

Only then did Flora stop laughing. She stared at her Mullia’s face before opening her mouth.

“So, what did you talk to Mr. Luke?”

“Finally back to the beginning.”

“Teach me. We will keep it a secret from His Majesty.”

Flora winked in one of her eyes.

‘Flora is also incredibly cute.’

Mulia thought to herself, but didn’t say it out of her mouth. Unlike Flora, she felt as if something had caught on her tongue to say that herself.

She let out a short sigh.

“I didn’t say anything nice.”

“Oh, yes?”

Flora gave her a look of surprise. Mullia nodded her head once and recounted her conversation with her Luke.

Even if she tried to keep it a secret, this friend in front of her was a person who would somehow make her open her mouth. Like tickling her side.

“Actually… ….”

Flora listened to her Mullia’s story with her serious face.

“Huh? Why did she say that?”

As soon as the story was over, Flora immediately asked back. She feels that she can’t be trusted with her co-workers with whom she will work for a long time, or that she doesn’t want to be friendly…… Isn’t that too much treatment?

“Count Milord was fine. He was older than us, and he was also a reliable partner because he served as his direct secretary for a long time.”

“Hmm… ….”

“But it’s not that guy. He hadn’t been in for a while, but he touched the tradition of the imperial family.”

“Isn’t it true that there were people who embezzled as a result?”

“That is, but… ….”

Mulia couldn’t even deny the fact that it happened, so Mullia blurted out her words.

‘Why are you so vigilant?’

Flora stared at Mullia, and she realized one thing.

She’s Mulia She’s originally a very cautious person, so she doesn’t trust anyone at all. The only people she trusted were herself, her Cecilia, and several members of her imperial palace.

However, a man of his age, whom he did not know at all, was suddenly selected as his direct secretary. Since this was Cecilia’s decision, she couldn’t have expressed dissatisfaction openly.

However, in the corner of her mind, Mulia must have had an anxiety coiled up.

That kind of anxiety that the moment this man invades our garden, it will be polluted.

That must have been tolerated and finally exploded today.

In a word, it meant that Mullia judged Luke as her threat.

‘I’m so stubborn in a place like this.’

Flora got up from her chair and walked over to her Mulia. Then she ran her hand through Mullia’s dark blue hair and tousled it lightly.

“Go, what are you doing all of a sudden?”

Flora said to Mulia, who gave out a bewildered voice.

“I think my cute friend is raising a thorn too.”

“Go, go. I would have said what I had to say…… Oops!”

Flora suddenly tickled her Mullia’s side. The wind threw Mullia behind her, and the two of them tangled in laughter.

“It will be fine, Mulia.”

“That is, you never know.”

‘How could he look so much like Cecilia?’

Flora smiled lightly at Mullia with her pouty expression.
