I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 46

No further explanation is needed.

I yelled at my grandfather and stretched out both my hands.

“Oke, wait a minute! Wait a minute, Grandpa!”

"Huh?"

Leaving my grandfather tilting his head, I rushed back to my room.

"Dad! The bags! The bags!"

"Huh? Uh yeah, yeah ......."

My father, who was standing empty, was also busy because of me.

aju found a square leather bag in the corner of the room and placed it on the bed.

Then I put the things that Perez thought he would need and use into the bag.

“This book and that too! And cakes, candy, stationery..”.

For a while, I ran around the room and the house packed the needed items.

It didn't seem like much, but the bag was filled immediately.

"What are you doing, Florentia?"

Grandfather, who was waiting in the living room, finally walked into my room and asked.

“I packed some items I need! It won't be long, so wait a minute, Grandpa!"

piles of items scattered so as to form a small garden in the bedroom

"Do you need it now?"

Grandfather tilted his head because he did not understand.

I looked back at Grandpa and answered.

"To be brought to Perez!"

"You gave it to him?"

For some reason, my grandfather's eyes squirm.

"Are you doing that because you're not using it anymore?"

"I don't bring much..."

I replied, but I didn't think that grandfather's frown would disappear.

"When we meet Perez, grandfather will understand my heart too!"

If grandfather sees the skinny kid, he might want to feed and take care of it.

I'm telling the truth.

"... Okay. Let's go."

My grandfather's voice was a bit strange, but I shrugged my shoulders once.

Then I took out a leather bag and lifted it with one hand.

I tried to lift it.

"Wow!"

The bag was heavy enough that I swayed.

I got a lot of stuff. My father sighed a little beside me and tried to take my bag.

But I shook my head slightly and said in a voice as active as my grandfather.

"Now I'm ready to see Perez, Grandpa!"2

* * *

I wrapped my bag happily, then after a while, we left the mansion.

"No matter how big you want to see it, are you trying to go to the Imperial Palace in pajamas ..."

Grandfather shook his head and said as if I was unreasonable.

“Now, it's because I wake up while I'm sleeping and I'm very busy.....”.

Ah, embarrassing.

I shouted to go to the Imperial Palace while wearing a nightgown with lace.

I looked out the window, pretending to be calm and relaxed.

It was still before sunrise, so the sky and the road where the carriage was walking were still dark.

Our group is very simple to say that the Lombardy Lord is on the move.

It was all just the chariots and the Lombardy knights were following.

Everything was silent except for the sound of the horseshoe and the sound of the carriage wheels rolling down the road.

I looked back at my grandfather who was sitting next to me.

Perhaps due to the dim light in the carriage, eyebrow wrinkles were seen within today.

When he talked about Perez last night, he seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

'Let's come and talk together before sunrise', so what is he thinking?

I couldn't ask grandfather directly, but I could faintly feel a deep frown, indicating that the reason was not good.

The train drove non-stop as we exited the Lombardy region, and as we ran through the fields and through the gates.

The soldiers from a distance saw the carriage approaching quickly which only the Lombardy Lord could do.

The enormous castle gate, which was to be sealed shut until dawn, at curfew was released and opened in front of a Lombardy-patterned carriage.

The train we were riding on didn't even have to slow down.

And finally, we arrived in front of the Imperial Palace.

I'm a little nervous.

When the carriage slowed down, I changed my posture and sat down thinking that someone might soon open the carriage door.

However, the posture of the grandfather looking out the window with the beard on his chin remained unchanged.

Then he turned to look at my sudden gaze, and our eyes met.

And at that moment, the carriage started moving again like a lie.

Even the owner of the Castle had not woken up from his sleep, we walked straight from the front gate of the Imperial Palace.

Grandfather looked at me slightly surprised and said, reaching out and caressing my head.

"Do you think we'll be checked like last time?"

"I knew it would be fine because I was with Grandpa. But, this is still the Imperial Palace...."

Lord Lombardy knew that he could enter the Emperor's office if he wanted to, without anyone's restrictions.

However, this is a separate story from what I know in my head.

Grandpa patted my head and said soothingly.

“You Lombardy. Lombardy is not afraid of the Imperial Family."

"Wow...."

cool

"Don't worry about your grandfather, son. Your grandfather will be very angry today."

akh did not know exactly who grandfather would be angry at, but I nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile, the carriage entered the Imperial Palace.

As in the rest of the world, it was a quiet place, except for the sparse lights along the way.

"Where should we go?"

The driver opened a small window and asked.

"I'll walk from here."

"Then it's inevitable."

Grandfather, who looked doubtful for a moment, opened the carriage door and got off.

I jumped down and held my grandfather's hand.

The coachman said he would follow us with my luggage, but grandfather shook his head and carried my bag in his hand.

It was definitely an assessment that he couldn't show Perez to anyone.

"Let's go, Florentia."

Grandpa extended his hand to me.

Unlike my father's hand, I walked down the path in the invisible forest while holding a slightly rougher and warmer hand. Fortunately, the eastern sky gradually brightened.

Relying on my memory, I arrived at the place where Perez picked and ate the plants.

And I realized.

I just know it's in the west, I don't know exactly where Perez lives.

"Grandfather, that's him ..."

"Why?"

"Because the last time I saw Perez was here. And I only know that she lives in the forest west of the Empress's Palace..."

Contrary to my mind that it would be a problem, my grandfather seemed to know what something was.

"Is that so?"

My grandfather muttered an unknown word and looked to a distant place where only dense trees could be seen.

"It's further than I thought."

I held my grandfather's hand.

"From here, grandfather knows the way, so let's go."

Grandpa walked first with a hardened face.

And after a while, we stood in front of a small palace.

It was an old building that looked like ruins as it was not well managed.

When the wind blew a little, the sound of the window rang.

"You must be crazy.."

The curse came out without my knowledge.

No matter how it was, she left a child alone in a derelict home like this?

The Empress's barn is better than this.

my grandfather said as he looked at the palace with a serious look like me.

"One of the Emperor's concubines lives here......"

Grandfather could not say all the words he had and shorten his words, but he seemed to know everything.

The desire of the Queen made Perez and Perez's mother live in such a place.

"Maybe, there won't be anyone here. Even so, this is also..."

"Are you saying that she is in the west of the Empress Palace? There is only one palace in this western forest, and this is where the Second Prince lives with his mother?"

“Yah, then absolutely .....”

To be honest, the building didn't seem like it would be strange even a ghost appeared immediately. Stayed here alone for years. lest a year I won't be able to last a day.

akh realized again how cruel the life story of Perez.

"Let's go inside."

I was just about to go inside hearing my grandfather's words.

Wh-bang!

There was a loud noise, and the door opened with full force as if it was about to collapse.

And the little boy who pushed the exit towards me.

His black hair fluttered every step he jumped onto the floor, and his white skin shone like clean porcelain even at dusk dawn.

"Come, Perez... Ouch!"

Perez, who arrived in front of me for a short time, immediately embraced me.

The body that hit me with a humming sound was painful, but I couldn't push it.

The hand of the man who leaned his head on my shoulder and hugged me tightly was so desperate.

"Florentia."

The voice of the skinny man who called me quivered.

"Hey, let this go. I can't breathe."

I said intentionally in a deep voice.

Then the man who seemed like he would not let go of anything that happened gently withdrew from my words.

But it's only half a step.

He just backed off and looked at me.

With his right hand still clutching my sleeve.

It was still an expressionless face, but her red eyes were just staring at me.

Why would he do this?

Well, since he's alone in a place like this, it would be nice to meet someone else.

"I said I'd come again. Why are you so noisy?"

"Because I thought you forgot me." 1

My conscience was slightly pierced, but I said calmly.

"Do I look like I can't keep my word?"

Dude Dude.

Instead of answering, Perez shook his head strongly.

That was.

A large hand approached grabbed Perez's back and kept him away.

"Sway from my grandson."

It was my grandfather who was staring at Perez unhappily.
