I Shall Master This Family's
36

Chapter 36

Ah, is this the time? I'm pouring through my memories.

Is correct. It seems to have been around this time in his previous life.

Belsach began to enter the Imperial Palace as the First Prince's playmate.

In fact, Astana and Belsach are not so close.

Astana regards Belsach as a troubling fool, but there is no true friendship.

It's just for political gain.

"Are you not envious?"

belsach said, yelling at me and my cousin at the table.

"No."

"I'm not jealous of anything."

“Why should I envy playing with a bad boy and have a dirty personality?”

"She's also acting naughty to Tia."

The twins answered in a deep tone.

Maybe both are sincere.

for the Lombardy children, the First Prince was not an object of interesting play.

But would other noble families do the same?

"Huh.you guys are lying. Everyone must be envious!"

Maybe he's been bragging at some social gathering.

And that's what Viese and Seral want.

Of course, it wasn't just a prank in front of people.

Rather, it was to show that the relationship between the First Prince, namely the empress and the Viese couple, was very close.

"So half, you."

Belsach said, pointing at me with a pointed fork.

"Isn't it better to listen to me well in the future? Be as obedient as ever."

What are you saying, you idiot.

After all, I do not envy him being an acquaintance with the First Prince, who will be dropped by the Second Prince's hand and sent to the battlefield in the future.

However, I hate to see the happy appearance of Belsach, who does not know such a future.

I silently smeared the bread without responding.

Many, many. Very much.

And lifting.

hiya!

And Belsach, who was looking at me, flinched.

But I brought butter bread into my mouth while looking at Belsach as if I were confused.

Only then did the face of Belsach, who had grasped the situation, turn red.

I deliberately spoke loudly, licking the crumbs in my mouth with my tongue.

"Lezat"

I could hear the twins laughing from every side.

It was a bonus seeing Astalliu's whining to comfort the enraged Belsach.

Oh gosh.

Just then, the door of the Eleanor Hall opened and I saw Grandpa enter.

Grandfather glanced at his dudu grandson and granddaughter and walked straight to the large table.

The adults who were sitting stood up and greeted grandfather.

The family banquet has just begun.

I quietly closed my mouth and listened to the conversation coming from the large table.

* * *

"It's nice to see everyone gather like this."

Lulak said with satisfaction as he looked at the children and their spouses sitting around him.

Lombardy was in a good situation thanks to the current Lord.

Like proving that blood and flesh are of no use in the face of power, circumstances like this are better than bloodshed for succession.

At least, the brothers haven't stabbed each other.

And that is that because Lulak still exists.

If the time comes when God is weak and followers have to think about the next generation, then it will be difficult for everyone to sit at a table like this again.

Especially for those who would become the next Lombardy Lord, and of course Lulak himself as well.

“baeakan some food.”

Lulak ordered the butler.

After a while, more servants lifted some silver trays.

"Wow that's amazing."

Behind the wine, the children sparkled when they saw two male servants carrying carts and entering.

It was a large roasted pig with a red apple in its mouth

The banquet hall was already filled with an appetite-stimulating smell.

And the man wearing clean clothes came in last.

He was the chef in charge of God's cuisine.

In addition, the chef of Emperor Jovanes was his student.

The chef who politely greeted Lulak, took his own knife and cut the grilled pig to eat.

Everyone could see the dedication of the chef to Lombardy, how careful his hands were on every dish.

The dishes are placed in front of the people, and the meal begins in a rather free atmosphere.

Then, with a bottle of wine, Viese stood up and approached Lulak.

“I'll serve you a drink. Father."

Lulak nodded in satisfaction and took his eldest son's drink.

Viese said as if asking everyone to listen.

"Thank you for allowing Belsach to enter the Imperial Palace."

Vestian was the first to respond to those words.

"I think it went well, brother-in-law."

“This is thanks to my father.”

Viese, resolutely, turned everything to Lulak's eyes.

"Without permission, Belsach had to wait months before he was eleven."

Viese said bitterly, and unexpectedly she had a good relationship with Vestian.

It was probably also because Vestian was so kind to everyone.

But of course, there is a secret bond between the two.

Lulak watched the conversation back and forth, silently holding the red wine to his mouth.

"How glad your father is to make an exception for you Belsach."

Seral laughed, giving strength to the word 'exclusion'.

The Lombardy children were not free to act outside the mansion until they were eleven years old.

And, it meant that Belsach was specially treated so that he could go to the Imperial Palace.

"That's the exception."

Shananet said slowly but coldly.

At the same time, Seral's long eyelashes trembled.

However, he did not argue.

It was the same with their partner.

In the cold atmosphere, Vestian smiled and patted Shananet's hand.

Shananet was the loudest for her brother, but just for her husband, she showed a very weak appearance.

Even now, he could only erase his cold expression and laugh pretending he could not win and continue eating.

"No such thing, don't say it out loud."

Finally, Lulak opened his mouth.

"If there's a good reason, there's no reason why you can't travel outside the mansion before you get old. Besides, you can't ignore the empress' letter."

A subtle smile spread to Seral's hardened face.

"Please make sure Belsach doesn't make mistakes in the Imperial Palace."

"Yes, dad."

Viese replied with a smile.

"By gathering and eating like this, it seems like the food is better today. Isn't that right, Dad?"

Vestian let go of the atmosphere with a unique gentle smile.

"Yes right."

"It would be nice to get together like this in the future! Oh, is it hard because it's the youngest sister-in-law? haha!"

Gallahan, who had been eating quietly on one side, opened his eyes when he was mentioned.

"You mean me?"

"I can't see the face of the youngest sister-in-law lately!"

"Oh, sorry .... I'm busy with work."

Gallahan said, bowing his head.

"That's how he said."

"....What are you saying, baby"

Viese laughed, and Seral rebuked her husband.

However, that did not mean the silent smile disappearing from Seral's face was not erased.

"It was noisy when you opened the store a while ago, but what did you do this time?"

Viese asked Gallahan as if they were blaspheming.

It was enough ridicule to make others listen, but Gallahan replied calmly.

"As you say. I'm trying to open a little shop."

"Without family support?"

"Yes. I'll do it myself this time."

Gallahan replied, thanking the butler for filling his cup.

"So, will it be placed in the Heslot market?"

The sound of a small laugh flowed from Viese's words.

Seral, Laurels and Vestian added.

"I can't bring my face because of you, which has been the subject of conversation lately. If I try to open a shop, I'll open it in Sedakyuna. But this is a Heslot market.... Ohohoh"

"If you don't have enough money, will we lend you money?"

Laurels asked like an older brother thinking about his sister.

"...... Not that I'm short of funds. Brother."

Yet no one believed it when everyone saw her smiling face.

Seral added more here.

"If you need a place to open a shop in Sedakyuna, may I speak to my family? If you need any help, feel free to tell me, Gallahan."

"It's really fine."

"But."

Seral exchanged eyes with Laurels' wife, Ronet.

It seems that the women have shared this story with each other.

Gallahan could easily guess the contents, and Gallahan laughed bitterly.

"I have the pride of Lombardy. But this is business for the common people."

Viese cursed Gallahan.

"In the meantime, people would even say, 'maybe he was neglected at home?.' "

"I don't know that."

"There's no way a man who doesn't even appear on social events will know. Ah, even if there's no place to invite you, sometimes you have to show your face."

At first glance, it seemed like Viese was worried about her sister, but in the end, only words that humbled Gallahan and raised her, were popular at social events.

"It would be better to think about making money from business for commoners once again, Gallahan."

Viese said, dragging his tongue one last time.

It was an attitude that completely ignored Gallahan.

Gallahan also has a way of getting angry at Viese.

He just sat down and paired the drink with a strange face.

Viese and Laurels laughed, thinking it was because Gallahan had no reason to argue.

That was.

Lulak, who had dipped his mouth with a white napkin, let out a word to see if he had finished eating.

"I'll keep an eye on you, Gallahan."

Gallahan was also surprised this time.

He put down the cup and stopped.

At the same time, Viese's face distorted.

Depending on how he interpreted it, it could be interpreted completely differently, but Viese looked at his father with eyes that seemed to be burning with fire.

Doesn't it sound like he's looking forward to Gallahan's success?

He even felt betrayal from his father, who had never shown such a figure to himself.

Gallahan looked at Lulak for a moment and replied in a calm voice.

"Yes, Dad. I'll try my best."

After that, the conversation started again at Vestian's initiative, but it was just meaningless words.

Viese could not hide his displeasure and drank alcohol, and Gallahan just sat with a serious face from time to time.

* * *

I'm not the only one who listens to the words of adults who come and go at the table.

Hearing the insulting words of my father, the twins fidgeted when they saw my face next to him, and Belsach was busy giggling with Astalliu sitting next to him.

"Tia, are you okay?"

Larane, who was taking care of Astalliu's younger brother, looked at me and asked anxiously.

"What?"

"No, that's ......"

Larane carefully reduced his words.

"I don't mind. Oh, this is delicious. I have to ask for more."

I said when I ate the brown meat.

But really I don't mind.

No, I'm a little excited.

I hope time passes quickly.

So, after dad's shop opened, I was very curious as to what those people's faces looked like.

"fufu...... ."

A little evil laugh came out of my mouth.
