CHAPTER 13 "Attractive Man"

Emperor working room.

Why is Cecilia taking so long?. Did something happen to her?. I wanted to visit her, but Arthur was still at the door. What should I do to distract him?.

"Is there a problem, Your Majesty?"

"No, nothing"

His Majesty will definitely want to go and find Empress Cecilia. If I allow him, his work will be more abundant than before.

"Your Majesty, how about getting some fresh air?"

"Hah?"

Heolstor and Arthur began to get some fresh air. While walking, Heolstor headed into the room to find Cecilia. He looked inside and didn't see it. Finally Heolstor looked for her in the garden.

Where's Cecilia?. She shouldn't be far from the palace.

"Your Majesty, our time is up. You must continue your work."

I don't find Cecilia anywhere. I want to keep looking for it, but i don't have much time. why is it at a time like this, I can't do anything?.

Heolstor saw a servant who was carrying something. He stopped the servant and asked her.

"What have you brought?"

"This is the drink that Empress Cecilia ordered."

"Ordered by him?, What drink is this?"

Heolstor looked carefully and read the writing written on the drink.

"Is this alcohol?!"

Why did Cecilia order alcohol?. Does Cecilia like a drink like this?. Cecilia never mentioned what she liked. Is this true?.

"Why did the Empress order an alcohol?. This is not ordinary alcohol, this is alcohol which has a high content."

Why did Cecilia order this drink?. Something's strange. There's no way Cecilia ordered it. I have to make sure.

"Your Majesty, we better ask ... Your Majesty?!"

Arthur was surprised when he saw Heolstor who was drinking the alcohol. Heolstor drank it straight from the bottle. Arthur stopped it and finally the alcohol fell to the floor.

"Cough ... Cough ..."

"Your Majesty?!, are you are all right?"

This alcohol is very heavy to drink. Is it true that Cecilia likes drinks like this?.

"I will call Empress Cecilia."

Arthur led Heolstor to the room. Heolstor couldn't walk because he was so drunk. Arthur leaves Heolstor and starts looking for Cecilia.

I'm not strong with alcohol like that. I'm terrible. Cecilia must be embarrassed that I can't drink alcohol. Arthur says he's going to find Cecilia, maybe I should go around for a bit.

Heolstor who kept going around made his head hurt and finally decided to go back to the room. When he opened the door, he saw Cecilia and called out to her.

"Cecilia?."

....

"Heolstor?!. What happened to you?"

"....."

He didn't answer, his face flushed red and he staggered along. I confirmed his body temperature and told him to sit down.

"What's wrong with you?. Are you sick?"

Heolstor pulled Cecilia onto the bed. Cecilia screamed and tried to release Heolstor's grip. Cecilia couldn't let go of his firm grip and she finally spoke out loud.

"HEOLSTOR?!. PLEASE STOP!"

"Cecilia? ...."

Heolstor woke up and let go of his hand. Cecilia got out of bed and pushed herself away from Heolstor. She looked closely at Heolstor, she felt something strange and tried to approach Heolstor slowly.

"What's this smell?. YOU'RE DRUGGED?!. How did you get drunk so badly?"

I looked at his face that was drunk very heavily. He covers his face and tells everything that happened. I was shocked and scolded him. Why is he doing something he doesn't usually do?.

"Heolstor, I ordered alcohol not for drinking. But for the prayer ceremony."

"Ceremony?... prayer?"

"You forgot about the prayer ceremony?. The royal family who will be the representative of the year ceremony is me. A priest said to bring alcohol for the ceremony."

"Thank goodness, I thought you liked a drink like this."

I chuckled when I saw Heolstor's answer. His drunken face made me unable to hold back my laughter. Heolstor is indeed an unpredictable man. But his attitude always surprises me.

"Heolstor, you are indeed an attractive man."

Cecilia gave a warm smile. Heolstor saw Cecilia and her face continued to blush. His heart continued to beat very fast. He couldn't help it.

"Cecilia? .... I want us to be together."

"Hm?, Of course I will continue to be with you because of the contract."

"That is not what I mean."

"Then?."

"It is nothing."

What does he want to say?. Of course I will continue with him. Did I say something wrong?. Why is he showing a disappointed expression? Did I say something that worried him?.

...

At that time, I kept thinking about it. Did I say something wrong?. If so, things wouldn't have been like this. Why do I keep thinking about all that has passed?. As expected, like something is missing.

I woke up from my sleep. As usual, the air was very cold today. I looked at the window and the snow had started to melt. Winter is coming to an end. I sighed and saw Heolstor who was still sleeping.

"Wake up Heolstor, it's morning already. You'll be late for work."

Heolstor did not answer and continued to sleep very soundly. Cecilia tried to wake him up again. But all that in vain, she finally touched Heolstor's face and patted him continuously.

"Heolstor, wake up early."

"Five more minutes."

"If you don't wake up, then I will ...."

"What will it be?"

Suddenly Heolstor woke up from his sleep and pushed Cecilia away. Cecilia leaned back on the bed and Heolstor was on top. Heolstor brought his face closer and Cecilia continued to blush like an octopus.

"Heolstor?, You'll be late for work."

"Hmm, really?"

When Cecilia stopped his acting. Cecilia saw someone who was opening the door. He is Arthur, he opens the door and advises Heolstor. Arthur accidentally saw their position on the bed and their atmosphere became very awkward.

"Arthur?"

"I'm sorry for not knocking on the door. Please continue what you are doing. I be leaving then."

"Wait!, Arthur?. I need your help now!"

...

Emperor working room.

I can't look at Heolstor. Arthur was just silent and said nothing. He must have thought something strange. No way, he must have thought it. Things like that, must have been done by a new couple.

Even so, still. I can't look at the two of them. My confidence was gone in an instant. I'm so nervous. Even for writing, my hands never move. Realize Cecilia, don't be like this.

"What's wrong, Cecilia?"

"Ha?, Ouh, nothing."

I can't pay attention to my behavior. Be careful Cecilia, don't misunderstand everyone. You can do it.

Cecilia continued her work. Heolstor kept looking at Cecilia and watching her continuously. Arthur, who was at the door, kept on signaling Heolstor not to continue paying attention to her and started working. Heolstor was irritated and looked at him very coldly. Arthur gave up and asked Cecilia.

"Empress Cecilia, Can you take care of Your Majesty?"

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go to the library to look for old documents. Just for a moment, please tell His Majesty to get to work."

Arthur immediately left the room. There was great silence, until Cecilia handed Heolstor a pile of files. Cecilia told him to finish all this.

"Do I have to finish it?."

Cecilia with a warm, sweet smile said.

"Of course, because this is your duty as a Emperor."

Cecilia smiled very sweetly. I can't refuse her request. You punk, he did it on purpose to keep me working. Wait for my revenge, Arthur Harrison.

End Chapter 13.
