Can I Love You Sir?
episode 9

after Carlie's departure, Celestia called all the concubines to go face her. Celestia asked them whether all the men of hers had gathered or not? and the concubines of Celestia answered her with a nod. After knowing everything had gathered Celestia stood up and walked slowly forward, forward, seeing Celestia's uncharacteristic actions all the men felt tense and nervous.

" do you know why I called you? " the question is cold.

" ...no miss. "said them slowly.

" i'm rounding you up now because of the incident just now.I really can't stop thinking, how can you let a stranger just come in here without telling me first? aren't you too presumptuous " said Celestia as she walked back and forth in front of them.

hearing that the men just lowered their heads, because no matter what Celestia said was true. The Harem Pavilion was actually built by Celestia only for her concubines and she strictly forbade anyone other than her family or her workers from entering the Pavilion even the royal family. therefore Celestia was quite surprised when she found the figure of Carlie standing before her earlier, she really did not think that it could happen.

" ...Carlien, tell me honestly what's your reason for inviting her and saying that. Did you really intend to make her my concubine? " ask Celestia staring coldly at Carlien.

Carlien raised his head and smiled and said..

" of course, didn't My Queen always expect it? I as My Queen's favorite concubine certainly have to grant it, right? " he said smiling warmly.

" stop smiling falsely. I know you all feel hurt for all my previous actions. Therefore from now on stop being okay, and show me your jealousy. " celestia said firmly.

hearing Celestia's answer, Carlien's smile loosened and the look on her face turned cold, while the others all just stared intently at Celestia like a wild animal. Celestia turned around she headed to the closet intending to change her clothes with a more comfortable one.

" do you ever care about us My Princess? " said Karan suddenly.

hearing that Celestia fell silent, she understood the meaning of the sentence just now. because as long as the original Celestia pursued the male lead she so ignored her beloved concubines that almost all of her concubines harbored a deep hatred for her, Celestia knew this right when she had just arrived in this world.

"...I know what I did in the past was a big mistake, but I now no longer expect another man.I therefore hope that this time it will not happen again. " said Celestia while looking at the contents of her closet.

" My Queen, I just wanted to give you what you've been after all this time.How come you look so angry now? like.. not your usual self. " said Carlien began to suspect.

hearing that Celestia flinched, she did not think that the sentence would appear this fast.with a slightly nervous feeling Celestia was trying to look natural again.

" Karlien. do you now think that I am so cheap that you dare to do this? " said Celestia in a low tone.

deg!!

" what do you mean My Queen? I never once thought my My Queen was cheap!! " said Karlien panicked.

" then what? if not cheap then what do you think of me? night butterfly? as long as you all know, honestly since long ago I did not intend to make this Harem, if only I did not feel lonely in that very large residence, if you intend to leave here, please do so because I am used to being left behind" said Celestia coldly as she stared intently at them.

" after all this is just the world of Novels, so if I die at most I will just become a corpse. "the inner Celestia turned around leaving them and headed to the closet to change into more comfortable clothes.

all the concubines were silent, they were immersed in their thoughts after a while one of them came to Celestia who was busy choosing what clothes she should wear. the man knelt behind Celestia then said..

" Master.I swear on my behalf, that I will always be by the Master's side.until, Master wants me to go. I also will not mind if Master wants a new man, either, that is because Master's happiness is the most important thing to me. I will also do whatever Master commands even the impossible things I will try to do. therefore allow me to continue to be by your side Master. "said Henry bowed respectfully.

Celestia turned around, she was quite surprised by what her concubine had just said, how could anyone willingly devote her life to the one she loved even though she knew that it would torment her. Celestia was worried now, she felt guilty that it was because she who was now not the real Celestia.it was a little nervous Celestia extended her hand before Henry gracefully, with a hint of nervousness, then without further ado the man kissed the soft back of the hand of the woman he loved so much.

" Hem, Henry's loyalty can not be doubted. Henry my love is entirely for you" said Celestia with a gentle smile.

" like this shouldn't the real Celestia react?? " his inner cold sweat.

" by the way, what about the others? Do you not want my love back? ah, should I disperse my Harem and destroy, this Pavilion? " said Celestia while smiling Seringai and staring intently at them.

" what the hell did I just say this?!! destroying this Pavilion? crazyhead!! how could I possibly want to destroy this magnificent building that costs 70,000 trillion!! " inner Celestia lamented her words.

they were all shocked, they did not expect that Celestia would say that from her own mouth without feeling the slightest hesitation. After what they had experienced, she was willing to just throw them all away? isn't that so outrageous?with mixed feelings between annoyance and heartache, one by one Celestia's concubines walked slowly over to her and did the same with what Henry did.

" please let us always be by your side Miss. "said them in unison.

Celestia was surprised, she did not know that her concubines were so unwilling to escape from her that they still wanted to survive even though the real Celestia had abandoned them. After being silent for a while, Celestia walked slowly in front of them and raised the chin of one of her concubines and smiled..

" unexpectedly, it turns out that you all are already tightly bound to me. I have also painstakingly gathered you guys together, so how could I just throw you guys away? " say Celestia.

the atmosphere in the room became heavy, the concubines just fell silent listening to what he said, after saying that he stood up straight again. Celestia folded her hands on her chest while saying..

" Hem, know that you are my concubines, and from now on I will not abandon you. If I break my words then I will do whatever you want for a whole month. "

all of the men were shocked by what they had just heard.they actually felt quite confused by Celestia's remark, but when looking at the eyes of Celestia who looks very confident their smile gradually expands until finally smiling happily, because it turns out their lady will not throw them away. Celestia immediately fell to the floor after receiving a warm hug from the handsome men of hers simultaneously. After her they all felt happy, and smiled happily like a child.

" h. what a pity, none of this belongs to me. "the inner Celestia feels empty.

...****************...

In the afternoon, Celestia and Carlien go on a date to the summer festival as they promise.There they see a variety of food and various trinkets, and they have, all the people who were there dressed up very pretty, over their heads and ears adorned by a beautiful flower, like it was the last flower of spring, there were a lot of little children running around and there were even some people who were singing very melodiously in front of the beautiful fountain.

" wah.so this is the famous summer festival? his festive. " said Celestia amazed.

hearing that Carlien smiled gently, he felt happy because he made the woman he loved so much smiling.A little girl came to Celestia and gave her a crown of flowers that she made herself.

" for me? " ask Celestia sparkling.

" yes! miss is like an angel therefore I give this crown of flowers to the beautiful angel. "said the girl with a beautiful smile.

Celestia felt overwhelmed, she had only first received this kind of beautiful gift from a little girl. Celestia gave her crown to the girl and told her to put it on her head, she lowered her head and let the girl put her artificial crown.

" sister is beautiful, this flower is a Daisy flower that symbolizes sincerity and I give this flower crown to my beautiful sister, because in my eyes my beautiful sister is a sincere and loving person. " said the girl smiling sweetly after she finished putting the flower crown on Celestia's head.

" really? "

" Hem, my sister is getting more beautiful with the crown" said the little girl again.

" uh.. Carlien, what do you think? " ask Celestia turned around with a plain look.

carlien's eyes widened when she found Celestia who looked very beautiful with her knee-length dress that was green with long sleeves to my side, then the green rose decoration located in the middle of her waist as well as the small butterfly decoration that adorns the bottom of her dress has made her look beautiful coupled with the crown of Daisy flowers located in the her beautiful hair really made her look like a wingless angel.

" Client? "

" Hem, My Queen will always look beautiful with anything" she said with a smile.

" oh, so if I wear ragged clothes I'll still look pretty like that? "

" of course. " answered Carlien with a cheerful face.

" don't joke.Thank you, pretty girl sister likes her." said Celestia smiling warmly.

the girl smiled and ran away leaving them both. Celestia and Karlien went back to look at the festival, they both bought various kinds of food and tried various games there.

" Client! let's try that one too! " said Celestia enthusiastically while approaching a seller of fruit satay.

" well.the fruit looks good.. "

seeing that Carlien could only smile while shaking his head, he wondered if it was true that this woman who was with him was the most beautiful and dignified woman in the world? like her they were wrong, because the one with her now was just an ordinary girl who looked happy.he then approached Celestia who looked very eager to satay the fruit and continued to buy everything she wanted.

in the middle of the field there is a group of orchestra players, they play musical instruments with great melodious.everyone who is there dancing to the music they play, they dance with joy, they dance with joy, Celestia who saw it from a distance directly holding the hand of Carlien then ran enthusiastically towards the crowd, when she arrived there she immediately joined dancing with joy like a child. a happy smile was clearly engraved on her beautiful face.

Carlien who saw her smile, also felt happy she joined dancing beside Celestia.Everyone felt very happy today, she said, because here social status does not apply all equally to the nobles or commoners they all dance happily tonight. This summer festival is really very lively and very fun for Celestia as well as for everyone who is there.

in the midst of the pleasure Celestia forgot something very important, she was too happy to forget that it was just the world in the novel..

...****************...

" are you enjoying the festival, miss? " ask Carlien.

" well! it was so nice, I didn't know it was much more fun than I imagined. " said Celestia as she walked leisurely by folding her hands behind her back.

" Hem, then how about next year we go again miss? " ask Karlien with a smile.

" Karlien, I know you're my favorite concubine but, please don't be greedy. Give the other concubines a chance too.. "

" how else? my heart is tied to yours My Queen ", she said with a smile.

" basic. "

on the way to the horse carriage, Celestia accidentally saw a man walking side by side with a beautiful golden-haired woman who was slightly undulating, a little, the woman wore a long white dress with a golden pattern that adorned the bottom and top of her dress. the woman embraced the man's arm next to her tightly and the man looked very comfortable with her, he looked at the woman next to him with a warm gaze.

Celestia who saw that was just speechless, she had only first seen the notoriously cold man staring at his partner warmly. Carlien who saw her immediately felt jealous, she tightly embraced Celestia's waist until she was surprised.

" Kar-Client? " said Celestia looked up because indeed Karlien is higher than her.

" Hem, let's go back soon Miss. "he said with a smile.

" ah.yeah, let's go home" said Celestia in a daze.

" ... " someone stared at them from afar.

they returned to the Wolf Knight's residence in a horse-drawn carriage that had been waiting for them near a grocery store.During the trip Celestia was lost in thought, he was still thinking about the beautiful woman next to the man he knew.

" was.he was the main character of her woman. "inner Celestia thought.

" woman, what are you thinking? are you thinking about that guy now? "

" he-huh? no. I just.. Carlien. do you know who that woman was with Duke Eagle? " said Celestia suddenly seriously.

" ...hah.if you mean the woman next to her, she is the Miss Saintess. her name is Karina Zennet, daughter of Marquess Zennet who is also a distant cousin of the King's majesty. " karlien explained.

" h.. !! " said Celestia suddenly remembered something.

" wait. Karina Zennett? don't tell me the story doesn't change?!! " inner Celestia was surprised.

" missy? are you okay? " ask Carlien worried.

this time Celestia was completely immersed in her own thoughts.she continued to browse through the contents in the novel she had just read a few minutes before she died.

" ah, I remember right now. in the present times the original Celestia in action or rather began to launch various kinds of foul plans to harm Karina Zennet who is the main female character in this novel.. " inner Celestia began to understand with her situation.

" woman, like you're so exhausted now.It's better we go down first so you can rest." said Carlien.

" huh? ah, yes it is. let's go down. " said Celestia realized.

Carlien went down first and stretched out his hand to help Celestia get off the horse carriage. Celestia received the helping hand gracefully and got off the horse carriage..

" thank you, Carlien. oh yes, tonight was so much fun I really enjoyed it. Now you can go" Celestia said with a smile.

" My Queen's. "

" hey? "

" is not tonight my ration? " whispered Carlien in a low voice.

" yes? " beo Celestia sculpting.

" what rations? " inner Celestia is confused.

" may I now ask what is rightfully mine? " ask Carlien again.

" right? hak?!! ja-don't tell me that.. time anyway?!! that right really?!! " inner Celestia was surprised.

Carlien held onto Celestia's waist and further eroding the distance between the two of them, Celestia who knew it the more panicked she tried to push Carlien, but the man's embrace was too strong.

" Ka-Ka-Ka-Client! wh-wait! wait up! ki-we're talking good, we're talking good!! akh!! I don't want my virginity to disappear!! " cried Celestia trying to dodge with a flushed face.

" it's okay, after all this is not the first time." said Carlien mendusel-dusel Celestia.

" wait. what? " beo Celestia was surprised.

" Ka-Karlien.. tell me.. . How many times did you break me? " ask Celestia in cold sweat.

" mm? you always reject us if we intend to do so with you. "

" h. that's.. "

" fortunately. "the inner Celestia is very grateful.

" Karlien it's late at night, tomorrow I have to work so I intend to go to bed early tonight. Therefore, you should immediately return to the Harem." said Celestia.

hearing that Karlien instantly let go of Celestia, he turned his back to Celestia with folded arms. Celestia who knew that immediately felt guilty because it seemed like she had just made her concubine sully.

" Client? are you mad at me? "

" no. I'm not angry" he said without looking at Celestia.

" Client.. "

" Miss, I love you. I just want to spend a wonderful night with you even once.. "

" but it seems difficult, huh? " he said as he turned towards Celestia and smiled gently.

Celestia stroked the soft cheek of Carlien, she did not expect that the real Celestia was very dear to her concubines, she was very envious.

" Karlien, you're also a concubine that I love very much, and today is the best time for me to date you. I'm really grateful to you" said Celestia softly.

" Hey, My Queen I will always do whatever you want, even if you want me to die even if I am willing.because, your happiness my happiness is also My Queen. " karlien said with a warm smile.

" ... You should come back before the night gets late" said Celestia as if thinking of something.

" well, My Queen. I'll be back once I see My Queen come inside. "

Celestia kissed Karlien's forehead gently, then entered his house. Carlien continued to smile until the woman he loved actually entered his residence.

" it's so happy that you are" said William who appeared behind Carlien.

" Hem, like his sister from My Queen, really likes to spy on people who are dating ya." said Karlien turned around with a smile.

" ...I just don't want my only brother to be hurt by a guy like you even if you're his concubine" William said flatly.

" but after I observed you, like it was the right choice to destroy the Harem and keep Celestia away from you" William said.

" Hem, like there are jealous because today Miss Celestia is more willing to spend her time for me than her sister" said Karlien with a mocking smile.

hearing that William just stared at her sharply..

...****************...

in the room..

Chequek! Celestia locked the door of her room and stayed there for a moment while thinking about what Carlien had said just now.

" my happiness is yes.. "

" ...do I deserve to be happy here? ah, I don't know. "

Celestia picked up some paper and a pen and sat down at the table she used to write. Celestia wrote quickly what she knew about the novel while still rethinking about the nightmare she had previously experienced.

" if viewed from his situation, as it is true this novel goes according to his storyline, means I'll also die as horribly as the original story did ya? ah, dang.." muttered Celestia thought while refuting her chin on the table.

" who exactly is that woman? why does she look so hate the real Celestia huh? "

" i do not understand. whereas during this month has a lot of things happened but why the storyline still goes according to the existing in the Novel? "

various questions kept popping up in Celestia's head.he was increasingly confused by the storyline of the novel that he possessed.when Celestia was busy thinking, she was confused, suddenly a tremendous pain emerged from within his chest.

" then there is only one thing I need to do, which is to do many things that are contrary to the content of the original story. "the inner Celestia is determined.

DEG!

" akhc!! ukh. sa-sick as hell. " said Celestia holding tightly to her chest.

" what else is this. Why does my chest hurt so much.. "

feeling not strong with the pain she felt Celestia fell out of her chair and ended up fainting.

" i. must hide the paper." his mind immediately closed its eyes.

a tall man with pink coral hair walked into Celestia's room wearing a white shirt suit with a coat and a blue tie attached to her body, he opened the door to Celestia's room with a catalog of clothes in his hand.When he entered he was very surprised to see Celestia lying limp next to his work chair with paper scattered around him, the man simply threw away the catalogue book he was holding and directly walked over to Celestia.the man was trying to resuscitate Celestia however, Celestia did not move at all until finally the man lifted her up and laid Celestia down gently in bed.

" miss Celestia... What exactly happened? " ask Karan worriedly.

celestia's fingers gradually began to blacken somehow the black mark spread rapidly throughout Celestia's body. Karan who saw that was completely shocked, he immediately called the bodyguards to go tell the other members of the Wolf Knight Family.

" when I want to show the dress that I made specifically for you, as a gift because you are familiar. but.how can this happen." said Karan worried.

" miss Celestia. "

shortly afterwards Aska, William and several of their servants and a personal doctor came in a hurry after hearing bad news about Celestia. they all looked worried and surprised when they saw the state of Celestia's body blackened without cause.the doctor began to examine Celestia, he examined her long enough.finished examined the look of the doctor's face looked bad, the doctor's face looks bad, seeing that Aska directly asked..

" how is Celestia? did something bad happen to her? "

" mister, it looks like Miss Celestia has contracted a deadly disease.Miss's body is beginning to rot and will slowly decompose." said the General Physician seriously.

" What. " said Aska Surprised.

seriate..
