I Shall Master This Family's
12

Chapter 12

Alpheo started to gain fame when I just started working with my grandfather.

There are many artists sponsored by Lombardy, but Alpheo is special.

At the late age of thirty he began to work earnestly.

Unlike other Lombardy artists, who were usually excavated at a young age and kept in greenhouses, Alpheo was originally a carpenter.

He was also a third-generation carpenter who worked in Lombardy after his grandfather and father.

So when my grandfather heard the news from Alpheo, he felt very sorry.

It would be nice if we could sponsor such talent early and create a good working environment.

But Alpheo doesn't care about that.

Instead, he was very grateful to Lombardy for supporting him, even late, and presenting his first official work to the family.

The title of his work is 'Tree of the World'.

It was a giant piece of wood that embodied the pattern of Lombardy, the World Tree.

It was a masterpiece of carving several trees separately and uniting them into one.

And with that work, Alpheo quickly became a well-known artist throughout the empire.

"But how do I find him?"

It was noon, so most of the people worked in the mansion.it was a busy residential area for employees, so it was now quiet here

Should I go from house to house and ask her if she knows Alpheo or not?

"What's that?"

"It looks amazing!"

Oh, and it turns out you've forgotten them.

The twins run around like children in a toy corner, admiring the things they see for the first time.

"Gilliu! Mayron! Don't run!"

I shouted, but the two of them did not even pretend to hear it.

"Wow! It's water!"

"I think you scooped him with this bucket!"

"Let's float the water too!"

Oh, that's kind of dangerous.

Gilliu and Mayron, who were wondering if they saw the well for the first time, installed it saying that they would pump water.

He was 11 years old, so bigger than me, but the well was well made to fit the height of an adult.

It seemed dangerous to see them rumbling with their hands.

"Hey! You guys down!"

Finally, I grabbed my dress skirt and ran towards them.

But my legs were short, and the twins acted quickly without any need.

"Wow!"

Mayron's body leaned back to pull out the bucket from the well, staggered for a moment, then bowed.

Because of this, Mayron fell into the well.

"No!"

I shouted out loudly and reached out, but it was useless.

But then.

"What, you guys!"

A large hand approached, grabbed Mayron's back, and pulled him up.

Then, with his other hand, he also grabbed Gilliu's body.

"Danger playing in the well!"

The low voice that passed through the transformer shouted in anger.

The twins, one on each side of the sleepy man, struggled to escape, but it wasn't easy.

"Well! Heos! Oi! Why are you trying to crawl into the well!"

I shouted at the two of them, breathing heavily up to the end of my chin.

And I saw the man who saved the twins.

I have to say thank you.

It was then that I saw the face of a young teenager frowning as if she was as surprised as I was in a dangerous situation.

"Huh? Huh!"

The face is ripe in the eyes.

Red hair with a nose full of freckles and taller than the others.

16-year-old Alpheo Jean stood in front of me.

"Hm!"

Let's stay calm, calm.

I coughed to dispel my excitement and said to the Alpheo youth.

"Hey, do you want to take the two down?"

Alpheo looked at me and immediately took down the twins.

"Who are you? These are faces I've never seen before."

Yeah, it's the first time you'll see her.

I replied with a bright smile.

"My name is Florentia, this is Gilliu, and this is Mayron."

Gently show them one by one and introduce them.

But instead of mentioning his name, Alpheo frowned at me and glanced at the twins.

The name seemed familiar to her ears.

Then, when he saw our classy clothes, his eyes trembled.

"Well, it's impossible"

It seemed to me, he realized that the three of us were direct lineages of Lombardy.

You can't put a sense of distance from the start.

I intentionally said with a brighter smile.

"I'm sorry for making a fuss."

"ma, forgive me, madam! Sorry, Master! Me, I don't know!"

"No, I'm not trying to make you apologize......"

I tried to fix it later, but Alpheo took off the hat he was wearing and repeatedly apologized.

It seems like the people in my family don't treat their employees so harshly.

Seeing his face flushed to the neck, it seemed like it was an Alpheo personality.

Well, Alpheo Jane, who is just over thirty years old, is also a plain and pure person.

"No. It's the wrong twin."

"But...... ."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Alpa."

Again, I was right.

"Hey, Alpheo. Excuse me, can I get a bucket of water from the well?"

At my request, Alpheo was a little nervous but quietly poured water.

"Both play with the water. Don't do anything dangerous."

Playing with water buckets.

It might sound weird.

However, the eleven-year-old twins were sitting in front of a log, as I said, and playing around in the water.

Now, the bully is also gone, so let's get out the main argument.

"My father's name is Gallahan. You knew?"

"Oh yeah."

"So, I have a request."

It was a very strange logical connection, but fortunately, Alpheo did not seem to notice it.

"I heard from someone, and Alpheo is good at sculpting?"

"Well, that....... It's just about selling children's toys by carving them out of wood. I'm not very good......."

"Wow, you've already made money with a cut! You're an expert!"

Praise makes the whales dance too.

"If you have a picture, can you sculpt someone's face? I have a tree to use."

Alpheo was a little hesitant when I pointed out by hand that it was this size.

"One's face is a bit difficult, so ..."

Are there still many obstacles up to that level?

I'm getting a little nervous.

"I've carved the face of my family before."

Oh that's good.

"But... ... ."

Why else?

I couldn't stand it and asked.

"Then it took a long time?"

It's a big deal, then I can't.

The time Clerivan gave me was only about a week.

"But it's a day off from my job. About four days..."

No, I listened to what he said and was relieved.

I was happy and held Alpheo's hand tightly with both hands. And I put the portrait of my father's grandmother in his hand.

"I'll take care of your labor costs!"

It was Alpheo Jean's childhood job, so it would be hard to turn it into money, but I think it would eat up some of the selling price.

"No need, it's okay!"

"No! This is the job that Alpheo gets through its efforts? Better get paid for it!"

As I spoke firmly, Alpheo thought for a moment and immediately nodded.

"I'll be nice to you. Whatever you want or whatever!"

"...I'll do my best."

Alpheo said with a stern face.

I was relieved by his trustworthy appearance.

Now I don't have to worry about class work.

I left it in the hands of Alpheo Jean.

"Oh, but I forgot one thing."

"What?"

"Log you will use. Alpheo has to take it. It's too heavy for me."

"Ah......."

Sorry, but the delivery is pretty clear.

* * *

After handing the statue over to Alpheo, I did nothing for about two days.

All that was left was to wait, so I spent time watching my father make a book or go play in the park on a good day.

The twins came to play this morning, but I sent him back saying no.

Both are grim at rejection like my sword.

But I have a bad feeling that they will come again tomorrow.

"Tia! I finally finished the book!"

Since there were already several books written in this way, my father shouted as if he was still happy.

"Wow!"

So I cheered together, raising my short hand as a child.

"Oh, our funny Tia."

My father stroked my hair with a happy smile.

"Show me the book Dad wrote!"

I was curious about the book which was completed by saving time to sleep and immersing myself in drawing one by one, then copying it.

"After all, you are like me and love books. Okay, let's see as we pass one by one from our front."

My father sat me on his lap and held the book with a dot in his hand.

It was unique in that it was thinner and larger than other common books.

Afraid that the paper was broken, I carefully unfolded the cover.

Anyways.

"What?"

When I turned the first page of the book, I saw my name written with my father's handwritten in the margin that appeared.

[Always waiting for the day to match Tia's first debut dress, my dear daughter.]

It was a sentence written by pressing one letter and one letter.

"This book was written to show my Tia later when she was old enough to be interested in Dress."

My father said while kissing my head.

"It's not profound, but you will know what dresses are popular from generation to generation in Lambrew Kingdom. Initially, the mode was swirling."

I can't say anything.

Every time I flip the bookshelf, I feel more upset and upset.

As my father said, this book was made just for me.

Small letters are written around the picture of the dress with various shapes that are skillfully drawn to fill one side.

[If Tia who is smaller than her age is now taller in the future, it would be a good fit.]

[This costume seems to be able to make Tia's eyes stand out by using a green carpet.]

"Usually your mother will take care of the debutant's dress, but your father will take care of it well! Don't worry, okay?"

At first, I did not have a debut.

It was because I was half an ordinary person, and there was no banquet calling out to me, and I, was more busy repairing the library given to me than making my social debut.

I closed the book that had passed until the end and held it in my hands.

Perhaps even in my previous life, my father wrote this book for me.

For the day when you will choose my dress with your own hands.

"Do you like that book?"

"Yes very much."

My father pulled me while holding the book and hugged me tightly.

"I hope the day when our Tia grows is fast, but I hope it will come slowly."

"Dad."

"Huh?"

"Should you choose my dress later?"

"Then! Let's open this book and choose carefully, Tia."

This time, I hope my father can see my debut.

I want my father to take my hand and go to the banquet together.

I hugged my father too.

Dagdak, dagdak.

I heard the sound of horse tread approaching from a distance through an open window.

Raising my head in my father's arms, I quickly ran to the window.

A wagon with the flag of Top Durak came to the house.

Unlike the last time, when I was short-lived, I saw another big wagon following the wagon that the merchants were riding on.

Finally come!

I immediately put the book on the shelf and pulled my father's hand and said.

"Dad! Let's take a walk in our garden! Come on!"

"Suddenly in a hurry. Do you want to go there?"

"Yes! So hurry!"

My father kept laughing at what was going on, even though he was reluctantly dragged into my hands.

But as I walked slowly like this, I felt like I was about to lose time, so I let go of my father's hand and shouted.

"I'm going to run! If you don't follow me quickly, you might be left behind!"

"T, Tia! Watch out fall!"

I smiled when I saw my surprised father start chasing me.

Now is the time to give my father a solid footing!
