I Shall Master This Family's
35

Chapter 35

The kitchen of the Lombardy mansion had been noisy since the morning.

This was because today was the day for the immediate Lombardy family to gather and have lunch.

My father who seemed to have no time to breathe because he was busy, was at home today without going to work.

It was because we couldn't be late for a family meal after such a long time.

After all, it was grandfather's order to get along between fellow family members as important as Lombardy's thriving business.

Thanks to this, our family, who skipped breakfast and did a simple trick to soothe her stomach, borrowed the hands of employees to dress them up.

It seems other families are hiring people to help dress them up, but we don't feel the need to do so.

Sometimes when an important day like this came, it was enough to get help from the servants.

"Our eyes are getting more beautiful by the day!"

My father smiled and said to me in the mirror.

I don't say anything as humility.

It was beautiful even when I saw it with my own eyes.

"Dad is also very cool!"

These are not empty words either.

My father, well dressed for a long time, was so cool that my eyes were rounded.

It's nice to see families that look like each other like this.

Maybe more than that in the eyes of others.

I could see that the maids who helped us put on our clothes couldn't take our eyes off my father and I with their red faces.

Lombardy looks more at looking good than anyone else just by dressing up like this, so do we really need to have separate employees?

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Let's go, Tia."

I walked while holding a large hand that gently extended towards me.

Dad's hands are big and warm.

The weather was very sunny, and the bright sunlight seemed to gently melt the interior of the beautiful Lombardy mansion.

Everything feels perfect.

Until I arrived at the banquet hall, the Hall of Eleanor, and opened the door.

"Have you come?"

The butler waiting at the door greeted us politely.

But the place where my gaze went were the other Lombardy people who came and sat in the back.

Seeing the top seat empty, it seemed like grandfather had not come yet.

Ugh. I don't want to go in.

Instinctively, I calmed my feet trying to step back, but I ventured to walk to the table when father was leading.

As I approached, I saw a familiar face.

To be exact, they were all faces that looked twenty years younger than the one in my memory.

Although they all looked like angels at first glance, they wore colorful clothes and beautiful looks.

I know that the inside is empty or dark in color.

Viese, who was sitting on the chair, looked at me as if she felt my gaze.

To be honest, as a Lombardy lineage, as did his father and brother, his appearance was not ugly.

However, I hate the greed that fills his eyes.

I was not feeling well, so I immediately threw away my face.

"Come, Tia is sitting here with the other cousins."

The table is divided into adult table and children table.

That was lucky for me.

It seemed like I had no appetite when I saw Viese or his wife, Seral, whose gaze I could still feel from the side.

"That!"

"Sit right here next to us!"

The twins who came first greeted me with chatter as usual.

"OKAY. Both take good care of Tia."

"Don't worry!"

they responded with great enthusiasm.

My father smiled warmly because he was relieved.

"See you later, Tia."

My father, who said goodbye and kissed my head, immediately moved to the table there.

In the chair where the couple was supposed to be sitting, only my father looked a little lonely alone.

With a slight sigh, I turned to sit down.

"Tia will sit next to me!"

"No! That's my chair next to mine!"

The twins were arguing about me.

Dad, who's guarding who?

Gilliu and Mayron fought more because of me.

"Now, two people. Don't fight."

I've tried to stop them, but the twins who've been defeated can't seem to hear my voice.

"My turn this time!"

"When have I ever been!!"

The sound was getting louder and louder.

When I'm going to intervene between two energetic people.

"Gilliu. Mayron."

Someone walked into the banquet hall, the name of the twins was called out in a loud voice.

It was Vestian Schuls, the father of the two.

The smile did not disappear from the face that was approaching with large strides, but the atmosphere was unclear.

"What are you doing out loud?"

And Vestian's gaze approached me.

"You again."

Yea?

Vestian's attitude is strange.

Her attitude was completely different from when I was with Aunt Shananet.

He glanced at me as if he had a headache, and he even pushed my shoulder out of sight.

It was a light movement, but my body took a step back due to the strength of an adult.

Vestian, who moved from the invisible side of the twins, told the boys.

"Didn't dad tell you that you have to be polite at a family meeting today?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm sorry... ... ."

The twins, who became moody as they were scolded, lowered their heads.

"Yes, I believe you."

Vestian said that one last time and walked to the table over there.

It was a pleasant sound, which I could not imagine coming from the person who was looking at me coldly a while ago.

Yeah, that's what I know about Vestian Schults.

As if I had been dreaming for a while, I sat down next to the twins who were quietly returning to their seats.

Of course, the two returned with their usual cheerful faces, so people wondered if they had been depressed.

I asked them carefully.

"Hey, you know. Did I make a mistake?"

The twins tilted their heads at my question.

"Before, Uncle Vestian."

Only then did the two nod, saying 'Ah'.

Then they looked around and answered me.

"It's not Tia's wrong."

"Because my father originally hated cousins."

"Cousins... Does he hate her?"

It's not easy to understand what they mean.

"Yes. My dad says he hates Lombardy."

Gilliu hesitated and said.

"What would you do if you said that!"

Mayron was frightened and scolded Gilliu.

"But, Tia's fine."

"Yes but...... ."

"I won't tell anyone. Don't worry."

I said to convince them.

Mayron felt relieved as if he had become more comfortable with my promise.

And whispered in a small voice as if making excuses.

"Dad doesn't like us playing with Tia either."

"justified? Aunt Shananet knows that?"

Not surprisingly, the twins shook their heads at the same time.

"My father said it was only the secret of the people from the Schults family."

Schults Family.

Obviously, the twins who used Lombardy's name and last name were never changed but it was not appropriate for Vestian, who introduced himself as 'Vestian Lombardy'.

I turned my head and glanced at the table where the adults were sitting.

The laughter of 'Ha ha ho ho' flowed in response to what kind of joke Vestian was making.

However, there was no lie in the twins words and touch that pushed me away.

However, Shananet's smile, which held Vestian's hand and laughed together, did not show any expression.

Shananet, as I know, is a person who would rather go neatly than do such an act.[1]

Like the previous life.

But one thing was certain, that the Vestian Schults might not be the carefree daughter-in-law I thought they were.

That was.

A rumbling sound came from across the large table.

"Hey, half."

Ah. it's been a long time.

When I threw my face away, I saw Belsach laughing at me.

His laughter exploded and looked like people were dying for a while.

Today, the show was full of poor laughter.

I can't be hooked.

Even today, Astalliu, who was on Belsach's side, also looked steadfast.

"Hey, can't you hear me calling?"

When I did not answer, Belsach growled with a louder voice.

But do people hear a dog barking?

I focused on cutting bread before eating as if I could hear nothing else.

"The girl really...."

Belsach, who was growing furious, groaned and looked around.

Then, he picked up one of the green grapes in front and threw it at me.

Tuk.

A green pill that fell on my face rolled over on the white tablecloth.

You're still less beaten.

I have no intention of being patient.

I was thinking of replying with the same thing.

So, I took three freshly opened green grapes in one hand.

But before I even threw it, something exploded in Belsach's face.

Puk!

Butter bread stuck to Belsach's face, and slowly slid down.

"Dam!"

I smiled and looked at the side where the bread was thrown.

It was Mayron, who still had a knife in his hand that had been smeared with butter

"What are you doing with this now? Ughhhh!"

Belsach, who had taken the bread from his face, became enraged, but another piece of bread flew up, this time clinging to the other side of his face.

Needless to say, it was Gilliu.

"Well, what! Why are you two doing that?"

Belsach yelled unfairly as he wiped his greasy face with a napkin.

"You threw a fruit at Tia first, right?"

"So we thought you were playing throwing food"

As the twins spoke, they scoffed sarcastically.

Belsach groaning.

"I'm playing with that lowly, and you're both different! Again, this is why you have to hang out with the right people!"

However, the twins pretended not to listen to those words and rubbed their ears with their fingers.

Belsach was silent for a while, then said with a bloody smile.

"You two, are you gonna smell good now?"

What'd he say?

It could have been ignored as Belsach's general bullshit, but there seemed to be something.

It was even more of a joyful attitude.

Belsach said, looking at me and the twins.

"From now on, I have been granted permission from grandfather to go to the Imperial Palace once a month. With a special request from Her Majesty the Empress"
