In This Life, I Will Be The Lord

Chapter 64

“...... Who is coming?”

I closed the book I was reading and looked at Louryl.

“The Second Prince’s Majesty is visiting the Lombardy mansion...... A little while ago, the Second Prince went from Imperial Palace.”

I doubted my ears.

Perez is coming to Lombardy?

Was it possible for him to go outside as he wants?

Of course, he wasn’t in a situation where he had to live like before, but it took many times to get around the castle and get around freely.

But is he going to leave the Emperor’s territory, the Poirak Palace, and come to Lombardy?

This would be a good chance to be attacked by someone on the street.

"Today?"

"Yes. They say they arrive around noon.”

“Huh......”

Is Perez stupid?

There is no reason for him to come to Lombardy.

“Why?”

"I do not know......”

Louryl shrugged and whispered.

“By the way, Young Lady. Did you know your Majesty the Second Prince?”

Oh, and it turns out that Louryl doesn’t know.

"Hmm. A few moments ago. It’s only temporary, I just exchanged letters."

"Ah! Maybe, that......”

Instead of answering, she nodded.

Just as expected.

A strange smile appeared on Louryl’s face.

"Oh my goodness. Then, your Majesty, the Second Prince is coming to see our Young Miss!”

Sigh.

It was also clear that she had a strange imagination.

“It’s not like that. There must be something else.”

"But when the servant of the Imperial Palace called me, didn’t that mean he came to see Young Miss?"

"That......Well? Was there only Louryl in that place?”

“Well, no. It was me and the butler.”

The butler oversees the mansion but usually takes care of my grandfather’s surroundings.

“If so, it means he is coming to see me and my grandfather......”

However, there was no reason to guess.

Especially in this situation where he and I are pretending to not know each other.

“Well, we’ll know when Perez comes.”

Anyway, he was coming here, and it was something I couldn’t prevent.

And since the servant of the Imperial Palace visited the mansion in the morning, everyone would know that Perez was coming.

I kept reading, ignoring Louryl, who kept looking at me with emoji-like eyes laughing.

It was a book containing information and examples of treatment for various rare diseases such as Tlenbrew.

Time quickly passed and it was noon when the sunset in the middle of the sky.

From a distance, I could see the Imperial Carriage Perez was riding.

However, the Imperial Knights were with him behind, and the huge Imperial Banner was attached.

It meant a very formal visit.

My grandfather sent me a letter telling me to take him to the office after lunch with Perez because he promised beforehand.

But I wasn’t alone in front of the mansion.

“Shananet-nim, Viese-nim, and Laurels-nim. They all sent their family’s attendants.”1

Louryl whispers in my ear.

That was right.

It seemed like everyone was sending people to check the situation.

It was not the First Prince who came, but the Second Prince who came to visit Lombardy and called me.

I could tell just by seeing the eyes of the attendants staying on me.

Dagdak, dagdak.

Finally, the horse stopped and the door of the carriage opened.

Even today, Perez, whose face is almost expressionless, walked toward us.

But I could tell by seeing Perez’ eyes shining brightly.

That guy, he’s very excited right now.4

Before Perez made a mistake, I immediately bent my knees and was a little polite.

“Hello, His Majesty the Second Prince. welcome. I was waiting.”

"Ah...... Hello, Lombardy Young Miss.”

Perez looked around for a moment and then followed my play.

“Unfortunately, my grandfather has an appointment, so I will take you to my father’s residence. We have lunch together and go to Grandpa’s office after lunch.”

“......Yeah."

It is a success.

I succeeded in saying hello awkwardly like people with bare acquaintances.

The relentless gazes of the servants who had been given the task continued until we left the mansion hall and entered the pavilion.

Even though the head waiter was very attentive, now we were far away.

I was able to relax only when I entered our house through the long corridor.

Fortunately, the knights accompanying Perez stood guard outside the front door.

I asked when I sat down on the sofa in the living room.

“Woo. Why are you here, Perez?”

"I want to see you, Tia."

“Do not play.”

“Really.”

As Perez and I started chatting, Lauryl’s eyes widened.

"Miss......”

"Why?"

“You are more close than I think...... You two."

“...... Louryl?”

When Perez called her name, Louryl was surprised to the point of jumping.

“My, how do you know my name......”

“Because Tia mentioned you a few times in a letter.”

“Oh, yes...... I see.”

Louryl looked at me and blushed brightly.

“Don’t talk to me. Why are you here today?”

“Ah, Young Miss......”

Louryl looked at me in amazement at my sharp voice.

In fact, I was a little embarrassed too.

It wasn’t something that would be very annoying.

My nerves seemed to be much more sensitive than usual because of my father’s condition.

“I came to convey this.”

Perez pulled out a letter envelope from his arms with a calm face.

It can be recognized even from the outward appearance of applying the melted gold wax.

“Now, wait! Is this your Majesty’s letter?”

"Yes"

Just ’Yes!’

I am well aware of Perez’s personality, in which he is out of focus!

The emperor’s letters are different from those written by ordinary people.

If the emperor officially asks someone to deliver a letter, that person has a heavy responsibility to deliver the letter to the person whose name is written on the envelope as soon as possible.

This is common sense that any Imperial Citizen knows!

Perez was just staring at me and Louryl in embarrassment.

I hurriedly looked at the envelope.

“Lulak Lombardy......”

“Uh, I’ll send someone to the office!”

Louryl said and holding the skirt of her dress in one hand so that she could run.

"A moment..."

I raised one hand and stopped Louryl.

“Perez, do you know what’s write in this letter?”

“It’s about to make you as my person.”

Perez did not hesitate to release the contents of the Emperor’s letter.

I grabbed my head and sighed.

“Ugh, headache.......”

Being a proponent of a Prince is nothing but an official statement that his family or children will support him in fighting for the throne.

I could tell just by looking at Astana and Belsach.

After announcing that he was the First Prince playmate many people gathered around Viese.

Since Viese, known as the next heir of Lombardy, is supporting the First Prince, the stock price of Angenas is also rising day by day.

“Are you in trouble?”

Perez asked me.

“Well, it’s not that good.”

Astana or the Empress, has been completely wrong with this incident.

Because the battle between Astana and Perez was not without reason, it was because of Astana’s sword that was pointed at me.

In addition, the fact that Perez could use Aura spread widely.

At the same time, the fact that the Second Prince officially appeared in the National Founding Banquet and at the same time, the fact that Perez, who is only 13 years old, could use Aura, caused rumors that a genius had been born.

However, it was a different matter to become a person of Perez that completely having a bad relationship with Astana.

To be precise, my father, the third son of Lombardy Lord, declares his support for Perez.

This could have a huge impact on my father’s business.

It was when I was in trouble.

Perez and my eyes met.

His slightly frowned eyes stared at me and asked a question.

"So. Are you saying that being my person could hurt you?”

I nodded a little and tried to explain to him why.

Then.

“You, what are you doing!”

Skiettk.

Perez tore the Emperor’s letter in half.1

Looks like he’s crazy!

But Perez said firmly.

“I don’t need it if it’s bothering you.”1

“Oh, no matter what it is!”

Still, it’s the Emperor’s letter!

I take the half-torn letter into my hand and stare at it blankly.

“My thoughts were short.”

Perez said embarrassedly.

"I thought it would be good to act immediately."

"Hey. Are you mad?"

When I thought about it, I felt bad.

I asked carefully, but Perez shook his head.

"No, I mean it. Forget this letter. I’ll take care of it."

What are you gonna do!

Perez, if you don’t get the Emperor’s attention, big trouble will ensue.

"No. I have to stick it well and take it to my grandfather.”

Because the recipient of the letter was my grandfather.

“What letter are you talking about?”

“Ah, Dad......”

My father stood leaning against the open frame of the bedroom door.

“Gallahan Lombardy-nim.”

Perez quickly greeted my father.

“What letter are you talking about, Prince.”

Perez looks at me for a moment and then handed out the Emperor’s letter that was torn in half.

"Well..."

My father pondered and asked what to do with these children.

“Let’s hear it, it’s a letter saying that I will make Tia as a person for the Prince.”

"Yes, that’s right."

“Your Majesty eventually......”

My father seemed to have guessed that this might happen.

Was there a saying between adults?

Father looked at Perez with strange eyes for a moment.

Unlike my father usually, he had such a scary face that he was neither friendly nor kind.

Perez’s shoulder, who met my father’s gaze, flinched a little and saw a lot of strength going into it.

The two didn’t move as if they were having a snowball fight.

"There......”

It was when I brought it up, which was worse.

The father, who was leaning against the door and standing hard, took something out of the back of the door with a "kkk".

It was crutches that Dr. O’Malley left this morning.

"The Emperor’s letter should be delivered immediately. I’ll go to my father’s office..."

“I will go! Dad legs..."

“I can still walk.”

Dad smiled and said firmly.

“I can walk on crutches. My father should help me with my daughter’s work.”

The appearance of my father walking step by step on crutches come to my mind.

It was the same when walking in the hallway, but even more worse when going down the stairs.

I and Louryl offered to help, but my father refused.

“I can do it alone.”

He was stubborn enough so my grandfather’s appearance could be seen in my father.

But at the same time, on his way to the office, his back looked so big as if he wasn’t afraid of anything.
