I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 28

Nah!

My hand on the doorknob shook.

"Miss Florentia?"

Dr. O'Malley asked me in bewilderment when he saw me standing still holding the doorknob.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Yep! I'm so angry now!

Right now, I feel like flying it with karate techniques, hearing that the recommendation he had to give Estira was given to someone else.

I want to take Dr. Fat. O'Malley and blackmailed him, but I asked innocently, raising my mouth aloud.

“what's going on here?”

To my question, a shiny man who was talking to Dr. O'Malley quickly approached and greeted.

"Hello, Miss! I'm Jason. This time, I was invited by Dr. O'Malley to go to the Imperial Academy!"

There was no ill will except for some polite actions in greeting, but still I felt uncomfortable.

First of all, I don't like him coming to intercept the recommendation letter Estira should receive.

"yeah. Are you a medical student? This is the first time I've seen you ..."

I've been in and out of the lab several times so far, and this is the first time I've seen it.

"Jason is a student I taught a few years ago."

A few years ago? Not now?

"I wrote a letter of recommendation because he wants to go to the Imperial Academy this time. Heh!"

"Thank you very much. Letter of recommendation Dr. O'Malley! I'm sure I'll get a lot of attention from the Academy Research Lab!"

Jason could not hide his laughter, he was happy just by imagining it.

In comparison, Estira's face was dark.

Even though she was forced to laugh, I could see that she was a little grim.

“That was nantu then, now ....”.

Jason glanced at me and looked at Dr. O'Malley's.

"Miss Florentia, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Apparently Dr. O'Malley and Jason would go to different places to visit.

Maybe it was in return for writing a letter of recommendation.

I nodded with a trembling face.

"I'm here to see Estira. Don't worry and leave."

“Yes, see you next time.”

Dr. O'Malley left the lab with Jason, who was still grinning.

In the quiet room, Estira worked hard again.

Estira took out the remaining teacup on the table and arranged the drink bowl.

I approached Estira carefully and said.

"Estira, are you okay?"

Estira laughed at my question.

"Yes, miss. It's okay, I, I'm kind of sorry to you.”

"I? why are you apologizing to me?"

I don't understand what Estira said.

“Sorry, I have something to do. Although the letter was taken by a man named Jason, if I talk to Dr. O'Malley, he'll definitely write a recommendation for Estira."

However, Estira's bitter smile deepened.

Something is strange.

It's not like someone who's depressed.

"Esti?"

"Letter of recommendation……."

Estira, who had kept her mouth shut for a while, had a hard time opening her mouth.

"Only one letter of recommendation for the academy is valid per year, Miss."

"Ha, just one piece?"

"Yes…… ."

Only then did Estira laugh as if comforting, towards me, who only understood the situation.

"Next year, next year."

When I saw her laughing but her eyes were not laughing, I felt a sense of responsibility.

It's because of me.

I told him, that I would send him to the Imperial Academy and not pay attention to him.

Letter of recommendation Dr. O'Malley has been given due to the deadline for registration is imminent.

I said, looking at Estira's drooping shoulder.

"Don't worry too much, Estira."

I will send you to the academy by any means.

If I don't accept Dr. O'Malley, I can get letters of recommendation from others.

"Hey......"

It was breakfast with dad after a long time.

I was chewing on the fruit and thinking about what to do in the future, and I turned to****** my father who had exploded for the third time.

"Hmmm……."

There was a deep frown in the beauty of my father, who always smiled like sunshine when he was with me.

“Dad, what's up?”

When I asked while pulling his sleeve, dadky looked at me with full awareness.

"Ah, it's nothing. I'm thinking a little."

I think it's a worry rather than a thought.

"If you're having trouble, it's good to talk to someone else!"

Hearing my words, my father stroked my head as if he was amazed.

"I've made Tia worry. It's not a big deal."

It's not a big deal, so let's dig deep.

I kept looking at my father.

Dad sighed and smiled as he looked at his little daughter, who knew nothing, wanting him to say anything to her.

"father just tried to do another job like last time in the textile business. Since I have no experience, I hesitate."

"Business?"

Come to think of it, my father said that at the Queen's dinner.

Sooner or later, I thought about taking my hands off the cotton Coroi and doing some other personal business.

To be honest, at that moment, I thought father was only bluffing when he was in front of the Empress and lit a fire in front of her.

but it seems real.

I want to help if there's anything I can do to help.

"Dad, this is good! But what's up? Can't you explain it to me, too?"

I sat a little closer to my father and said.

"I'm very, very curious!"

Father, who was also weak towards me, pondered for a moment and then began to explain his business idea in simple words that a child could understand.

To be honest, the explanation is long and complicated.

Father himself was not too confused, but a long and confusing shrub in the middle.

However, as I listened to father's explanation, I shouted 'Jackpot!'.

I felt my face flushed with excitement and enthusiasm.

Dad's business plan is a new concept that does not yet exist in this world.

However, it was very familiar to me.

If this business existed, I would have had tremendous success in this alone.

No, I can be sure that the Empire's trade itself will evolve to be very different from before.

"Dad, this is the best!"

I shouted while hugging my father's waist tightly.

As if he didn't think I would understand everything he had just explained, father just smiled and hugged me directly.

"Dad healed, Tia likes it like this?"

However, it was my father who did not understand all the impact this business would have.

Because it's so good.

And someone who could make a fantastic combination with my father flashed through my head.

"Dad daddy!"

"Why is that, Tia?"

"If you have any questions, ask Mr. Clerivan!"

"Mr Clerivan?"

"Yes!"

I also knew when I worked pretty close to Clerivan running the Coroi cotton business.

How valuable Clerivian is when he's in the Top.

He was inferior in age compared to my father, but strangely he had a lot of knowledge compared to people his age.

But for some reason, my father didn't seem to want to.

"Mr Clerivan. Um....."

For my father's ambiguous reaction, I shouted in a very sweet way.

"If I ask about something I don't know, Mr. Clerivan will always kindly teach me!"

The first impression may be a bit cold, but it's not really so!

"Yes. I'll think about it."

Dad was forced to answer my screams, but he seemed reluctant.

I think someone's afraid of Clerivan.

after reading my father's work, I walked inside the mansion to go to my destination.

Grandpa's schedule doesn't change unless something special.

His schedule, which was repeated every week for decades, remained the same until I helped my grandfather's work.

So, this morning, the second day of the week, was the day when she went to work alone without meeting.

That means that it is a relatively relaxed schedule.

I was heading to the office with a relatively light heart.

Until I heard a very disturbing laugh coming down the stairs.

"Haha! Estira, you want to go to the academy?"

I stopped and looked down the stairs.

It was the man named Estira and Jason who looked a little angry.

"Estira! Do you know what the Imperial Academy is like?"

"Of course, I know this is a tough place, senior. But I'm sure one day........... It's too late this year, but someday......."

"wait. You think you can't leave because I got a recommendation from Dr. O'Malley?"

A man named Jason, who behaved very politely in front of me, and his attitude towards Estira was completely different.

Yeah, I think it's all pretend.

I sat on the stairs and listened to more conversation between the two.

"Do you know what my family is doing?"

Jason asked Estira.

However, before Estira answered, she shrugged and replied.

"This is Plan Company, a Company specializing in medicine." (his company name is 'Plan')

Oh, I said that greasy face looks familiar somewhere.

The figure who first urged Astalliu and brought him into the gambling game was the second superior of Plan.

Astalliu, who was much younger, tried to follow him as an older brother.

Later, as Astalliu was in debt for gambling, Lombardy's property was slowly handed over to the Plan Company.

My patience was turned upside down because he was trying to take out real estate that had been sold for cheap in exchange for Astalliu's debt.

When I thought about that time, my anger came up again.

"In the Imperial Academy, the impact I build will be a wing for me in the future. But do you dare to go beyond my recommendations?"

Jason laughed at Estira with his head bowed up and down as if it wasn't worth it.

"Know your place, Estira."

At that moment, words filled with ridicule seemed to stick in my heart.

"You don't know your place until the end."

What place is that?

I couldn't say anything to Jason, and it was as if my past was reflected in Estira's silence

The days when I was always ignored by them, and they told me, 'Know your place', acting as if they had a higher position than anyone in the family. that memory came to my mind like it had just happened yesterday and it made me angry.

What's wrong with Estira, she just said, 'I want to go to the academy', should she listen to such insults?

I got up from the stairs where I was sitting.

Then I stepped forward to the office.

Initially, I planned on asking my grandfather to get a letter of recommendation for Estira.

And I wasn't even too worried because I could cover insufficient research funds from my personal allowance.

However, the plan has changed.

Jason Flange's Recommendation from Dr. O'Malley's. Estira will get a lot of attention at the Academy.

Just when I thought an oily ball would play a role in Lombardy's destruction, I became even more furious.

"I have to change my strategy."

I clenched my hand and turned to the office again.
