Can I Love You Sir?
episode 8's

since that day, Carlie only spent the time she had with a pile of documents that were in her workspace. During these 2 weeks she was only in her residence, doing her duty as a ruler. meeting, reviewing the area, and confining themselves in his study with a pile of documents, has officially become his daily life. at times like this, Carlie really works and completes everything neatly and very regularly.The whole worker in his residence feels happy because their master arranged their work very Perfectly.

Carlie spent more time in the workspace even during meal time he did not come out at all and instead told his servant to deliver his workroom food. he only went out at night and even then when it was time to sleep, because of this a lot of workers who rarely saw their ruler.

in a corridor of her residence, Carlie walked quietly accompanied by Albert beside her, she walked while looking out the window watching every servant at work.

" Albert, like his servants look excited today.Is there anything special? "

" no, sir. since you came they are always excited because they love to serve you, coupled with your competence in work makes us more comfortable with our work" said Albert politely.

" strange. Why are they happy with my arrival? am I not just a new ruler who is still an amateur? "

Albert shook his head, he disagreed with what his master had just said.

" mister, you are the only person who works so hard for us and for the welfare of the residents of the Eagle region.so, so, as workers we feel proud and very happy to be able to serve this great and very competent you. Therefore, please do not say so. " explained Albert.

Carlie was silent, watching every one of her workers from behind the window.

" sir? " ask Albert who saw Carlie quiet for a long time while still staring out the window.

" ...ayo we are back. There is still a lot of work to be done. "said Carlie flat while continuing her journey.

Albert just stared at him meaningfully because among all the workers Albert is the most know the past of this master.

in the afternoon, Carlie was in her study filling out the paperwork as usual, in a quiet room the sound of knocking on the door was heard and Albert came inside with a tray containing some bread and a cup of tea and a letter beside him.

" mister, please rest first.I bring a little snack for you." said Albert put his tray on the table.

Carlie stopped her work and immediately approached Albert, sitting on the sofa and drinking a cup of warm tea poured by Albert.

" does the tea suit you, sir? " ask Albert who is still standing in front of Carlie.

" hm. the tea is good enough. Sit down Albert, I want to have a little chat with you." said Carlie as she put her tea cup back on the table.

Albert immediately settles down after he gets permission from his master.before Carlie starts talking Albert informs him that there is a letter to his coming from the Wolf Knight residence. Carlie opened and read the letter in silence.

long enough, Carlie read the letter, finished reading it, put it back in the envelope and put it on the tray as before.

" is that from Miss Celestia sir? " ask Albert curiously.

" not from her concubine, but from her concubine" said Carlie as she drank her tea.

" may I know the contents of his master? "

" he just wanted me to go to the Wolf Knight's residence to meet with Miss Celestia, because she was already a Siuman.

Albert immediately understood what the letter meant.

" by the way sir, I wonder if you are really not interested in Miss Celestia? "

hearing that Carlie immediately frowned he was inexhaustible and wonder why everyone kept asking the same thing to him? is being attracted to the most beautiful woman in the whole world an obligation?

" Albert, are you kidding me? after everything I've been through, how can you ask me that ridiculous question if you don't want to leave here you better keep your word" said Carlie coldly.

" ...I'm sorry, sir, I was sassy. I just thought that you were great because the beauty of the woman was not able to influence you" said Albert bowed.

" don't make it up to Albert, you're the one who knows the most about me, and then I just want to live in peace with my precious people" said Carlie, sipping her tea.

Albert just fell silent while looking at Carlie with a meaningful gaze.In fact Albert understood the reason why his master was not interested in romance at all, Carlie wasn't her uninterested it's just that she didn't want to get hurt again like before.

" then what will you do? are you going there? "

" hm. like her I have to go there. I also have to apologize for making her unconscious just because, the duel lasted for 3 hours. whatever I want first is wrong, "said Carlie justifying his sitting position.

" but, didn't Miss Celestia bother you first, sir? "

" it's true, but it's just the past now, and in this time I'm wrong, after all, my mother told me to forgive those who have hurt me. Because of that, you know, should I not obey as a filial child? " said Carlie sipping her tea.

" oh yes, sir, I almost forgot there was actually a letter from Miss Saintess to you" said Albert, taking a letter from his maid's pocket.

Carlie put down her cup and took the letter and read it, just as she had read the letter in silence, only this time she read it with a happy look on her face.

" did Miss Saintess say something that pleased you sir? " ask Albert curiously.

" No, she just asked me out for a date tomorrow afternoon" said Carlie, correcting her expression as she put the contents of the letter back in the envelope.

" oh, did Miss Saintess invite you to a summer festival? "

" summer festival..is it time for the change of season? " ask Carlie.

" yes, this summer festival is held near the Wolf Knight region, and last year its summer festival was held in the royal capital of Athens. as far as I know the festival this time is quite large because members of the royal family donated enough money for the Festival this time." explained Albert at length.

Carlie understood now, looking at the letter from Saintess, Carlie ordered Albert to take the paper and pen immediately, Carlie replied to the letter one by one and immediately drove him to the residence of each of the two letters.

" make sure they get it" said Carlie, who was immediately embraced by Albert.

Somewhere..

" Hem, it seems like there will be a fun event" said Carlien smiling after reading Carlie's letter.

the next day, Carlie got ready to go to the Wolf Knight family residence after finishing her work first, where she was immediately greeted by Carlien, and Carlie was immediately taken to Celestia's Harem pavilion. once there, Carlie was quite amazed by the design of the interior of the Harem pavilion building which could only be entered by the Wolf Knight family and all Celestia concubines.

the building looks very luxurious and elegant. The pavilion has 20 rooms consisting of 10 rooms on the first and second floors that have the best facilities, 1 large and complete library, 2 private rooms owned by Celestia, and 2 private rooms owned by Celestia, 1 quite luxurious living room, 1 dining room with 12 chairs and one long table, 2 kitchens one for private and one for public, and, 1 greenhouse with a variety of beautiful and fragrant flower plants, and 1 room to collect various kinds of art, and lastly a warehouse.

" this.. really the pavilion? " her inner self was a little amazed as the pavilion was extremely luxurious.

" big, right? miss Celestia deliberately made this pavilion for us, not even she took any payment from us" Karlien said with a smile.

" hm, the equivalent of a palace." said Carlie while looking around.

" hey, do you really mind bringing me here? isn't this place only allowed to be entered by members of the Wolf Knight family including its workers? " said Carlie staring intently after entering the room.

" Hem, that's true, but soon you'll be one of the people who can enter this place at any time.Therefore, it's fine for me to bring you here. " he said while smiling.

Carlie frowned, she was really upset now.Why does everyone always say a word that is always related to Celestia? as if being Celestia's concubine was her destiny now.I don't accept Carlie sitting on the couch then saying..

" i don't understand what you mean but just so you know it's going to be my first and last visit, because whatever you do now is a waste. " her words are cold.

" i don't know, if it's Miss Celestia then the impossible will surely come true and my words are true" said Karlien smiling.

soon all the concubines of Celestia came to the living room one by one after they learned that the man who had dueled their lady was visiting and was sitting there. various kinds of words and questions hit Carlie because, all the concubines Celestia curious about her that made their lady interested in asking her to be a new concubine. hearing that Carlie was just silent he did answer some questions but the rest he just kept quiet.

if you ask where is Carlien? so her answer was beside Celestia.she left Carlie alone and went straight to see Celestia after taking her to the living room to be interrogated by her other concubines. while in the pavilion Carlie was treated well, he was given snacks and tea like a guest, and when they finished lunch someone reported that their Miss Celestia will visit the Harem after 2 weeks.

" i don't think it turns out they haven't seen the woman for 2 weeks either. "the inner Carlie while drinking the tea that was served again.

all the concubines were looking forward to her, not least Carlie. she did focus on her drink however, she also occasionally glanced towards them.heard the horse carriage that was being rode by Celestia stop, and she stopped, they all went out to the front door to greet Celestia, then before long Celestia appeared with a very beautiful and elegant makeup like a fairy in the beautiful forest. Carlie who was walking after them just stared at Celestia flat but in contrast to her heart that was beating so fast.

with Carlie's sudden presence in the Harem pavilion, Celestia's feelings were jumbled between confusion and displeasure. that was because the person he did not want to see was suddenly in front of him without sending any news to him.

" can anyone explain why this guy is here? " said Celestia doesn't like it.

all Celestia's concubines were silent they did not dare to answer because in Celestia's eyes there seemed to be a strong enough anger.In fact, without Celestia even asked she already knew that it must be the work of one of her concubines.

" Karlien. "call Celestia cold without expression.

hearing his name called Carlien answered him with a cheerful face without sin.

" this must be your job, right? " ask Celestia.

" of course. but, it's not without reason that I brought her here My Queen" said Carlien smiling.

" then what? "

" Hem..didn't you really want my Queen? After what happened, this is the reward you get for your struggle so far. "he said with a smile.

hearing that, Celestia was surprised she did not expect that one of her concubines would do this. Her other concubines were just speechless at the sight, while Carlie he is now holding his anger so as not to explode and tear the mouth of Carlien as he pleased.

" ...Why can this be so? shouldn't they be dating today? what really happened.. did.. her story begin to change? " though Celestia was getting confused.

Carlie stepped forward towards the two of them as she said..

" it's like there's a misunderstanding here. "

" huh? " say Celestia.

" ...sorry before, but I came here because I want to apologize for the previous incident.I'm sorry Lady for insulting you." said Carlie bowed respectfully.

seeing this man in front of her being polite to her Celestia was silent for quite a while, because this was a rare moment where the Sword Master who was flattered and respected by many people had now bowed his head in front of the only beautiful woman in the entire world.

" ...Stand up, sir. You don't have to be like this, your words are so insulting to me but if we recall the previous times, then, I'm the one who should apologize to you for bothering you all this time, please forgive me for my previous inappropriate actions" Celestia said elegantly.

Carlie stood up again, feeling guilty Celestia also treated Carlie with a glass of homemade tea and a few snacks.At first Carlie refused, however, after Celestia offered her for the third time finally Carlie agreed to Celestia's offer.

" this is the third time." Carlie's inner tea while watching the tea poured by Celestia herself.

Celestia sits on the sofa in front of Carlie after making tea for her. Now in the guest room there are only Celestia and Carlie, only, before her Celestia told her concubines to leave the two of them because there was an important thing that the two of them wanted to talk about. with a firm sitting position and holding his hand on the thigh while looking at Carlie with confidence Celestia opened the conversation..

" mister, this is the first time you've come here and been polite to me. Tell me the truth, does Carlien force you to do so? or were you threatened by my brother? " the question is serious.

" i'm sorry, lady. However, my apology to you is purely from my heart.If even the lady doesn't believe I just need to not care" said Carlie as she sipped her tea.

silence began to spread within the room, and only the sound of the teacup was heard. Celestia lifted her cup of tea and took out a biscuit, she dipped the biscuit in the tea saying..

" mister, have you been dating someone all this time? " ask Celestia.

" ...no. I'm not really interested in that" replied Carlie a little slow as if she was thinking about something.

Celestia bit her biscuit and smiled.

" mister, lying is not good.even if you are dating someone you will not be exposed to any insults, whether it be with a noble daughter or. Miss Saintess. " celestia deliberately emphasized her last sentence.

carlie's gaze began to sharpen along with the last sentence from Celestia. Carlie put down her tea cup and fixed her sitting position, seeing that Celestia was watching her intensely. With a firm sitting position and legs folded, Carlie began to speak up..

" i am, indeed quite close to Miss Saintess because during the war I was often treated by her, but the matter of the lady's words was not true. I've never dated a Saintess or any other noble princess and it's all thanks to someone who's been following me for 6 months" said Carlie, staring into Celestia's eyes.

Celestia flinched, she understood very well what Carlie meant. she also regretted the actions that she did not even do, if only he had gotten into this world faster, he would have avoided Carlie from the start.

" Ahem. somehow I've not done it now. I'm really sorry." said Celestia felt awkward.

" well, you deserve to regret because, the actions of the lady are outrageous.where there are people who follow their loved ones up to near the men's toilet.at that time the lady was really beyond my expectations. " said Carlie.

Celestia dies a flea now. she really strongly condemns the real Celestia, why did the real Celestia have to do such a shameful thing anyway? truly a pathetic antagonist.

" Ahem, let's finish this conversation, we change other topics.I heard that later in the afternoon there will be a summer festival, are you also interested in coming to the festival? " said Celestia diverted the conversation from being too embarrassed.

" i'm sorry, lady like her I have to go back now. There are a lot of tasks that I have to complete." said Carlie as she stood up from her place.

" obviously she's avoiding me. You're being disrespectful. "the inner Celestia's staring intently at Carlie.

not long after Celestia also followed Carlie, after giving her greetings, Carlie returned to her residence with a horse carriage that had been prepared.After Carlie's passing, Celestia called all her concubines to face her. 20 Minutes later they all gathered in the private room of Celestia whom he used to gather with his concubines, Celestia sat on the edge of the bed with her sharp eyes and hands folded to her chest.

" have they all gathered? " asked Celestia coldly as she stared intently at them.

seriate..
