I Shall Master This Family's
38

Chapter 38

Clerivan's sullen face looked as if he had received a farewell notice

"Tu, Sir?"

"If I'm not enough to support you, I'll do my best. I will learn more and gain more experience. So please reconsider."

He was the same person in the past, but this was very different from the Clerivan I knew.

Clerivan didn't break his pride in front of anyone.

Even in front of grandfather, he always maintained the dingjn and stiff attitude he had.

Honestly, I'm confused.

I couldn't believe it, so I asked as if to confirm.

"So you mean you're gonna help me?"

"No. I ask that you allow me to help miss."

"Why…… ?"

My mind went out without my knowledge.

Did I ever do anything big enough to make Clerivan like this?

No. gabe.

Instead, I moved silently, and tried not to make people notice or attract attention.

But why does the Clerivan Pellet look like this?

Clerivan looked at me, muttered blankly, and replied with a grin.

"Because I saw the possibility in miss."

“If that's a possibility, you mean the possibility that I will become a smart adult later on?”

"No."

Clerivan shook his head.

"It's possible to save Lombardy's."

It felt like I was stabbed.

In the future, I promise to save this family that Viese will eat.

I never said that thought to anyone.

I barely noticed my facial expression, and then came back with a plain face and asked again.

"You're saying that our family is dying right now?"

At my question, Clerivan cleared his throat and corrected his words.

“Not yet, because Lord is still standing firmly. But ...”

Clerivan, trying to explain something long, suddenly shortened his words and looked at me.

Then he said with a slight gloomy smile.

"You're testing me again, miss."

And he said to me in a tone that seemed to have no more doubts.

“Do you pretend you don't know miss?”

Clerivan laughed softly.

Oh, I'm not gonna fool her again.

I had no choice but to shrug my shoulders once.

"You said that Viese Lombardy must not be the next Lord."

Instead of deliberately saying that he was 'uncle', I called Viese's name.

After all, except for Shananet, I don't feel that kind of blood relation with my father's brother, so this is fine.

Clerivan doesn't seem to care about that at all.

Instead, he was happy to see what I said.

"You must be the future of Lombardy, Madam."

"What's the reason?"

"That, of course, Viese Lombardy is not fit to be the next Lord."

"No, not that one."

I cut Clerivan.

“According to the words of the teacher, it would be much better for me to take over the position of Lord when I grow up than Viese to be Lord. That's not what makes me curious.”

I smiled like a habit.

"I asked why you believed me and stayed by my side."

"That's ......"

For the first time, Clerivan showed doubt.

I'm not in a hurry.

I just sat and waited for Clerivan to clear his mind.

"I come from the Dillard family."

Those were the first words of a carefully opened mouth.

"My father is Romasie Dillard, who is currently in charge of Top Lombardy."

I knew it from my previous life.

However, few people actually know this.

So, it's all about other families who have deep ties to Lombardy.

Romasie Dillard never officially admitted that there was a child out of wedlock, and Clerivan did not say that he was Romasie's son.

He helped grandpa with the job, and I only found out about it by accident.

Even back then, grandfather forced me not to talk about it to others.

Even though he knew I was not the one who would tell the story to others, grandfather said to me several times.

To that extent, the fact that he was an out-of-wedlock child raised in the shadows was a huge scar that could not be removed by his great pride.

But he's telling me the secret now.

“When I grew up, my father wanted me to leave Lombardy to live independently. He would give me enough support, so he encouraged me to become a bureaucrat in the Imperial Palace or go to another area to make a living. That's the reason."

Clerivan's blue eyes looked straight at me.

"Because my loyalty to Lombardy is incredible. More than anyone in the Dillard family"

Then he added words.

"That doesn't mean that I have any regrets in the Dillard family. I also wanted to get out of the Dillard family and build my own territory, and I just wanted to contribute to Lombardy in my own way. But......."

Cerivan said, furrowing his straight brows, looking at what he really hated.

"It's true I have respect for God, but he's very bad about raising his children ...."

I had no choice but to admit it.

The buds of her three sons were almost annihilated, and Shannanet, who could become a Lord, was a woman.

“Especially in the case of Viese, who thought that he had already decided to become the next Lord, was his head filled with dirt instead of brains…?

Clerivan, who let out a rant, noticed me and quickly turned around.

“So I was desperate about whether I could work for Lombardy until Lord was alive. I am in charge of education because I want to, but the results are still the same. Then I saw miss."

Clerivan said seriously as he looked at me with his eyes dripping with tears.

To be honest, it was a bit surprising.

Clerivan, who was always icy cold, was very fond of the Lombardy family.

That was why, in the future once he became the in charge of Top Lombardy, he would grow to be the top.

And although it was a bit strange, my appearance from the past continued to overlap with Clerivan's appearance.

the same word does best with love for Lombardy, knowing we will not be well recognized for our origin

I finally made up my mind and opened my mouth.

"The reason the teacher hasn't achieved anything so far is because you haven't been given a chance."

When I finally said Clerivan opened his eyes in a circle.

“But now different. Even though it was originally just a clothing store, you know very well how big my father's business move was, right?”

"Then the reason why the lady sent Gallahan to me... ...."

"I hope you two will be a good couple. I can do something for my father and teacher at once."

"Oh.."

Clerivan groaned a little.

I asked Clerivan again and again.

"Can you handle it?"

Clerivan Pellet even showed his wound and wanted to be my personal possession, but I had no reason to take him to my side.

For me, who was young and had no access to the outside of the mansion, Clerivan would be the eyes, mouth, and legs.

He will be my mask until I grow up.

"It may be a bit difficult to follow my future plans."

Clerivan's blue eyes shook like an earthquake.

"And above all...."

I finally said the most important thing.

"Can you keep a secret?"

Until I'm ready, no one knows what I'm doing.

As long as possible, I should remain a slightly smarter granddaughter.

So Viese did not feel a serious crisis.

When he realized one day, that I could be in front of him in every way, I would take the position of the next Lord.

And I saw.

A bright smile as bright as the last time he tied a ribbon on my sleeve appeared on Clerivan's face.

"Please take care of me from now on, Clerivan."

At the change of his title, Clerivan shook his shoulder once and then carefully kissed the back of my hand.

"I'll believe and follow, Miss."

No need for a big promise or an oath.

Trust me and follow me, just one word is enough.

Now that the conversation was over, I stood up.

As I moved, Clerivan quickly stood up.

While removing the slightly tangled skirt, I said to Clerivan.

"Please tell grandfather sooner or later you want to give me a personal education."

"Personal education?"

he put on a face that seemed to say 'what the lady is talking about'.

"I can't have a secret conversation with Clerivan like this forever. There will be more things to discuss in the future."

That's also true.

"So, if necessary, tell grandfather that you will hold a private class with me irregularly. Maybe grandpa won't oppose it."

Instead, he might be pleased and say, 'Hahahaha!' And laugh.

I walked towards the doorway, leaving Clerivan standing in the darkness.

As I opened the door, I saw two employees walking towards here from a distance.

I turned around and shouted out loud so they could hear it.

"Then goodbye, sir!"

I said good-bye

Then Clerivan came to his senses, saying hello.

"... ... Please be careful, Miss Florentia."

I smiled wider once more to do well and started walking.

Even I could see, my footsteps were like they were jumping.

I hum and hum.

"Good."

I got Clerivan a lot faster than expected.

Now, what am I supposed to do now?

With Clerivan in my head, I was busy making a list of things to do in dad's business or in Top Lombardy.

* * *

"What the fuck?"

The bakery owner, Robert, was frustrated and saw people lining up in long lines in front of the Gallahan clothing store.

The long queue that started right in front of the doorway crossed the pottery shop next to it and stretched to the shop next to it as well.

Everyone in line was female, but as she looked at the inside of the store the entire time, she felt confused.

"Now, we have prepared a lot of numbers, so please be patient and wait!"

The woman who introduced herself last time as Violet cried out loudly with both of her palms rounded.

However, as more and more items were held by the people who came out of the store, their waiting faces became even more sad.

At that moment, a man ran out of the crowded store.

"Master!"

The reddish-brown-haired and pale-white man glanced at the people in the row, then immediately approached Violet and said a word.

"I think we should set a limit per person. Since it would take more than an hour, so I thought the amount of supplies I prepared would run out."

"Yes, I can't help it. Do it."

Gallahan hoped it would become popular, but it was an explosive reaction.

He did not know that he had to limit the amount of clothes people could buy because he did not have enough clothes to sell.

Violet ran around without knowing that this was a difficult day, and she did not know that a smile of laughter would be on the faces of the shop employees.

He took a deep breath, then exhaled it, and once again gathered his hands in a circle and shouted out loudly so that the person at the end of the line could hear it.

"To ensure that the buying opportunities return to as many people as possible, you can only buy up to two sets per person! Please understand! Two sets per person!"

Those who were greedy for his words complained, but the people behind the line were very happy.

However, despite the efforts of the employees, in the end, the clothing store had to close early, long before the time closed on the opening day.

And the popularity of the clothing store is only getting higher and higher without knowing that it will be higher the next day and the next day.
