In This Life, I Will Be The Lord

Chapter 265

It turned out to be the opposite of what was in the carriage a while ago.

I was embarrassed, and on the contrary, Perez grinned leisurely with an attitude that seemed to enjoy the situation.

I felt emotional at the moment, so I turned around and looked around the room again.

But that doesn’t mean the bed that didn’t exist would suddenly appeared.

I can’t live, Violet!

It was Violet who took care of the transportation and accommodation for this journey.

’No matter how much the camouflage is for a newlywed couple!’

What do you mean one bed?

When I was younger, there were times when I fell asleep in the same bed as Perez.

Because I’m in a completely different position now.

".......okay. To blame someone."

It’s all my fault.

To Violet, who asked how to prepare fake ID, I told her in my mouth, ’I’d like a newly married couples.’

Then, of course, she should have thought that the accommodation would be prepared for the newlyweds.

It was when I sighed like that.

"Shall I go in."

Perez gently lifted his bags with both his hands, and then strided into the room.

There was no hesitation.

"......I hate you."

I was forced to follow Perez and muttered toward his back.

The room was quite spacious, although it was not remarkably colorful or beautiful, it was pleasant and satisfying.

I nodded a little and tried not to look toward the bed as much as possible.

However, where did his meaningful attitude a while ago was going? Perez’ face with a slight frown came into my eyes.

"What’s wrong?"

"The accommodation... is it okay, Tia?"

"Are you afraid I won’t like the room?"

"Because this is a place most commonly used by commoners."

"We can’t help it because our camouflage status is a commoner couple who are traveling to the east for honeymooners."

I said, pressing my finger on Perez’s wrinkled forehead.

"How picky do you think I am?"

Then Perez answered, gently holding my hand.

"But Tia, you’ve never slept in a place like this before."

Now I know what Perez is worried about.

Perez knows I’ve never been out of Lombardi’s mansion.

At best, he would think that it was only the experience of going to the north for Ivan’s work.

"I do not care. And this is great."

Compared to the shabby house I rented in my previous life, this room is nothing short of a palace.

"Are you okay with that, Perez?"

He is also the emperor.

"When I was in the Academy, I was often homeless while traveling."

Perez said so, and swept my hair down slightly.

When the conversation was over, the atmosphere became awkward in no time.

One hand held by Perez felt particularly hot, and the sound of the guy sweeping my head seemed to suffocate.

I hurriedly pulled out my hand and turned around.

"Wow, let’s take a look around before the sun sets completely!"

After opening the door in an hurry and half-running, I heard a small smirk behind me, and Perez quickly followed me.

"Let’s go together."

It was a voice full of laughter that you could see the expression without looking at it.

***

The name of this city we’re staying in tonight is Magnus.

Located at the southern end of the Lombardi estate, I prided myself on knowing many things about Magnus, including population numbers, area, major products, and the size of taxes.

"Wow. The road is really beautifully polished here!"

However, after stepping on the ground myself, Magnus was a much more beautiful and vibrant city than I expected.

"Even though the sun is setting, the market is still standing. Well, the report said it was a very safe city."

It was very fun to check the information I had in my head one by one with my own eyes.

Next to me looking around the market around the hostel like that, Perez quietly walked in step with his hands behind his back.

"It’s a trip that I just made, but I really like it."

I said, looking back on the road I had walked towards the end of the market.

"Now that I see the people of my estate with my own eyes, I feel like I need to work harder."

The local people living a lively day in a prosperous city.

They were also the people I had to protect.

"Come to think of it, it’s my first time traveling. I was in a hurry when I went to Ivan, so I couldn’t afford to look around."

I smiled at Perez and said a little late greeting.

"Thank you for accepting my request and for coming with me."

"Tia."

Perez called my name in a much lower voice than usual, conscious of the surroundings.

Then he reached out and said, stroking my head gently.

"Anytime."

I don’t hate the affectionate touch.

"If there’s anything I can do for you, anytime. That’s my pleasure."

"......It can’t be."

I can’t believe he said that with looking straight at my face like that.

The guy who has no shame.

When I turned my eyes, Perez laughed low.

"Magnus has a beautiful square. I’ll show you around."

"Have you been here before?"

"Because I traveled to the South a lot."

Perez reached out a hand to me.

I held his hand without hesitation.

As the sun goes down, we arrive at the square while taking in the cooler evening air.

"Wow, really. The square is pretty!"

The neat square covered with reddish brown bricks that keeps the traces of the years beautifully under the sunset glow was exhilarating.

In particular, the large statue in the middle attracted attention.

A handsome man in his mid-30s was sitting on a chair, and a familiar name was written under the statue, which seemed to have been preserved by stopping time.

Lulac Lombardi

"Looking like this, I really look like my grandfather. Right?

My grandfather’s youthful appearance was fascinating to me as well.

Perez, with a face as astonished as me, responded slowly to my question, nodding his head.

It was then.

"Oh uh!"

A child, who seemed about four or five years old, running past us, was about to trip over something.

As I turned over there, a hand popped out of nowhere and hugged the child’s small body tightly.

It was Perez who had a conversation with me a while ago.

"Uung......."

The child must have been surprised that he almost fell, and cried as if he was about to burst into tears.

"Be careful."

Until Perez patted his little back saying so.

The child’s eyes opened wide when he looked up at the face of an adult soothing him, and it sparkled as if he had seen something strange things.

"Little boy, are you all right?"

As I approached and talked to him, this time he looked up at my face and showed pink flush on both cheeks.

"Oh, boy! You were full of energy today."

"Grandma!"

"Timmy, you can’t run like that alone! You almost get hurt."

The child’s grandmother approached and told us with a smile.

"Thank you."

"No. Although the square is pretty, there is a place where the floor is broken, so it seems that it will need some repair. Maybe Timmy got caught in that stone too."

"Oh, that was close."

When I go back to the mansion, I’ll have this square repaired.

It was when I was looking around the square differently than before, wondering if there were any other problems.

"It’s a little old, but it’s the pride of our Magnus. Isn’t it cool?"

"Yeah. Still, my husband... and I were talking about it. That statue is very nice, too.

Yeah, I’m just faithful to my camouflage identity.

I comforted my embarrassment by roughly glossing over awkward words.

"It’s Lord Lulac, who had ruled the Lombardi. It’s all thanks to him that Magnus, which was just a small town when I was young, became such a big city."

Timmy’s grandmother said with a proud smile.

"When I was just about the age of the young lady, Lord Lulac came to this place, and all the village women were all excited about how handsome he was."

"Haha, I see."

"I’m not kidding, he was such a handsome man with a flash of halo!"

As if to return to her old self, the grandmother smiled like a girl somewhere.

"The reason why I lived without much worries is because of Lord Lulac’s good control over the estate. I heard that his granddaughter, the new Lombardi’s lord, is also a great person. Don’t you two know anything about her?"

"Ah... haha."

It was when I was hesitating because I was embarrassed to compliment myself.

"The new Lombardi Lord is a wonderful person. She values Lombardi’s land and people."

Perez answered instead with a faint smile.

It was a gentle manner and voice that one would not normally think of as a cold, hard man when dealing with nobles.

"Oh, well, that’s a relief. Our Timmy can live without worrying. My eldest grandson recently came back from Lombardi, and he happened to see the new Lord coming out of the carriage at a distant."

Startle.

My shoulders trembled slightly without realizing it.

"How can he compliment her so that his mouth is worn out? Her long brown hair looks like silk, especially vivid green eyes are like dreams. My grandson wonder if someone like her, so even if she turns her face, it’s too much... hmm?"

The old woman, who clicked her tongue while telling the story about her eldest grandson, stared into my face and stopped talking.

"So it turns out that the young lady also has brown hair and green eyes? But have I ever seen you before?"

"What? Oh, no. I’m new to Magnus."

Why?

Because I look like my grandfather.

It’s a statue she has seen for decades, no wonder my face looks familiar!

I turned my face sideways and smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I’m a bit of a common face!"

"Not common! Even from a distance, it is not common to see such a beautiful girl. Wait still. Where did I see you......"

"Larita, shall we go back to the hostel now?"

Perez asked, slipping between me and the grandmother.

"Oh, yes! That would be great!"

I have to run!

"Well, we’re going to go now. Hi, Timmy. Nice to meet you. Watch out the floor for the time being!"

He still look up with sparkling eyes.

I quickly greeted Timmy and his grandmother, who was tilting her head, and turned my back.

"I almost got in trouble."

She probably wouldn’t think that the young lady who traveled was Lombardi.

It’s time to be careful.

After returning to the hostel in a hurry, I opened my bag and took out what Violet had prepared.

It was a hair dye in two heavy bottles.

I put it in order to take it just in case.

Violet is the best. I handed Perez one of the hair dyes I had in my hand.

"Just in case, let’s both change our hair colors."

***

"It’s been a while, so I feel awkward."

My hair colour in the mirror had turned black.

At one time, there was a time when black hair was natural.

It seemed that I was getting used to my curly brown hair.

I dry and comb my wet hair well.

"Because my hair turns black, it seems like my green eyes stand out more."

Then, I heard the sound of the door closing outside the bathroom.

It was the sound of Perez, who had dyed his hair, returning from common bathroom.

’I want to see you soon!’

In fact, it was a decision for camouflage, but I wanted to see another side of Perez.

I quickly got dressed and stormed out of the bathroom door.

And there,

"Ah."

The blonde Perez was looking at me with a face like Timmy a while ago.
