I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 64

"…… Who's coming?"

I closed the book I was reading and looked at Louryl.

"His Highness the Second Prince visited Lombardy's house ...... Just a moment ago, the Second Prince left the Imperial Palace."

I doubt my ears.

Perez coming to Lombardy?

Is it possible for him to go outside as freely as he wants?

Of course, he was not in a situation where he had to live like before, but it took him a lot of time to get out of the castle and walk around freely.

But will he leave the territory of the Emperor, the Palace of Poirak, and come to Lombardy?

This would be a good opportunity to be attacked by someone on the street.

"Today?"

"Yes. They said they arrived around noon."

"Well……"

Is Perez stupid?

There was no reason for him to come to Lombardy.

"Why?"

"I don't know……"

Louryl shrugged and whispered.

“By the way, Young Miss. Do you know His Highness the Second Prince? ”

Oh, and it turns out Louryl doesn't know.

"Hm. Just a moment ago, I just exchanged letters."

"ah! Maybe, that......"

Instead of answering, he nodded.

As expected.

A strange smile appeared on Louryl's face.

"Yes my. In that case, His Highness the Second Prince will come to see our Young Miss!"

Haaaa.

It was also clear that he had a strange imagination.

"It's not like that. There must be something else.”

"But when the Imperial Palace's servant calls me, doesn't that mean he's coming to see Young Miss?"

"That's......Well? Is there only Louryl in that place?"

“Yeah, not really. It was me and the butler.”

The butler oversees the mansion but usually takes care of my grandfather's surroundings.

“If so, it means he will come to see me and my grandfather.

However, there was no reason to think.

Especially in this situation where he and I pretend not to know each other.

"Well, we'll know when Perez comes."

In any case, he will come here, and that is something I cannot prevent.

And since the Imperial Palace maids visited the mansion in the morning, everyone would know that Perez was coming.

I kept reading, ignoring Louryl, who kept looking at me with a face like a smiling emoji.

The book that I am is a book that contains information and examples of treatments for various rare diseases like Tlenbrew.

Time quickly passed and it was already noon when the sun was in the middle of the sky.

From a distance, I could see the Imperial Train that Perez was driving.

However, the Imperial Knights were with him at the back, and a large Imperial Banner was attached.

It was a very formal visit.

Grandpa sent me a letter telling me to go to the office after lunch with Perez because he promised earlier.

But I'm not alone in front of the mansion.

“Mrs Shananet, Mr. Viese, and Mr. Laurels. They all send their family waitresses.”

Louryl whispered in my ear.

Thas right.

It seemed like everyone was sending servants to check the situation.

It was not the First Prince who came, but the Second Prince who came to visit Lombardy.

I could tell just by looking at the eyes of the servants watching me.

Dagdak, dagdak.

Finally, the horse stopped and the carriage door opened.

Even today, Perez, whose face was almost expressionless, walked towards us.

But I can tell by seeing Perez's eyes shining brightly.

That person, he was very excited now

Before Perez made a mistake, I immediately bent my knees and was a little polite.

“Halo, His Highness the Second Prince. Welcome then. I'm waiting for you."

"Ah ...... Hello, Young Miss Lombardy."

Perez looked around for a moment and then followed my game.

“Unfortunately, my grandfather has an appointment, so I will take you to my father's residence. We'll have lunch together and go to Grandpa's office after lunch.”

"…...Yeah." yeah."

This is a success.

I managed to say hello formally like a new person.

The relentless gazes of the servants who had been given the task continued until we left the mansion hall and entered the pavilion.

I could only relax when I entered our house through the long corridor.

Fortunately, the knights accompanying Perez stood guard outside the front door.

I asked as I sat on the sofa in the living room.

"So. Why are you here, Perez? ”

"I want to see you, Tia."

"Don't play."

"Thank."

When Perez and I started chatting, Lauryl's eyes widened.

"Miss……"

"Why?"

“You are closer than I thought.... You two.”.

“...... Louriy?”

When Perez called his name, Louryl was shocked to the point of jumping.

"Geez, how do you know my name ......"

“Because Tia mentioned you several times in a letter.”

"Oh, yes ... I understand."

Louryl looked at me and blushed.

“Be honest with me, Why are you here today?”

“Ah, Young Miss.

Louryl looked at me in amazement at my sharp voice.

I'm actually kind of sorry, too.

My nerves seem to be much more sensitive than usual due to my father's condition.

"I came to deliver this."

Perez took out the envelope from his arm with a calm face.

It could be recognized even from its outer appearance smeared with melted golden candles.

"Yes"

Just 'Yes!'

I'm well aware of Perez's personality, where he's very outspoken

The emperor's letter was different from the one written by ordinary people.

If the emperor formally asked someone to send a letter, that person had a heavy responsibility to send the letter to the person whose name was written on the envelope as soon as possible.

This was common sense that every Imperial Citizen knew!

Perez just looked at me and Louryl was confused.

I hurriedly saw the envelope.

“Lulak Lombardy..

"Uh, I'll send someone to the office!"

Louryl said and held her dress skirt in one hand so she could run.

"Wait a minute..."

I raised one hand and stopped Louryl.

"Perez, do you know what this letter says?"

“This will make you my playmate.”

Perez did not hesitate to say the contents of the letter of the Emperor.

I grabbed my forehead and sighed.

“Ugh, I have a headache...”.

Being a 'playmate' of a Prince is nothing but an official statement that his family or children will support him in fighting for the throne.

I can tell just by looking at Astana and Belsach.

After announcing that he was the First Prince's playmate, many people gathered around Viese.

As Viese, known as the next Lombardy heir, supported the First Prince, the share price of Angenas also increased by the day.

"Are you in trouble?"

Perez asked me.

“Well, it's not too good.”

Astana or the Empress, has been completely wrong with this incident.

Since the fight between Astana and Perez was not without reason, it was because of Astana's sword being pointed at me.

Moreover, the fact that Perez could use Aura was widespread.

At the same time, the fact that the Second Prince officially appeared at the National Founder's Banquet and at the same time, the fact that Perez, who was only 13 years old, was able to use Aura, was, it led to rumors that a genius had been born.

However, being Perez's guy who really had a bad relationship with Astana was a different thing.

To be exact, my father, the Lombardy Lord's third son, expressed his support for Perez.

This could have a big impact on your business.

when I'm in trouble. Perez and my eyes met.

His slightly frowning eyes looked at me and asked a question.

"So. Are you saying that being my playmate can hurt you?"

I nodded a little and tried to explain to him why.

Later then.

"You, what are you doing!"

Skiettk.

Perez tore the Emperor's letter in half

Have you gone mad!

But Perez said firmly.

"I don't need it if it bothers you."

"Oh, no matter what it is!"

Still, it was the Emperor's letter!

I took the half-torn letter into my hand and looked at it blankly.

“I'm sorry.”

Perez said with regret.

"I think it would be better to act immediately."

"Hey. Are you angry?"

When I think about it, I feel bad.

It's like I refuse to be friends with Perez.

I asked carefully, but Perez shook his head.

"No, I mean. Forget this letter. I'll take care of it."

What are you going to do!

Perez, if you don't get the Emperor's attention, big trouble will ensue.

"No. I have to stick it well and take it to my grandfather."

The recipient of the letter was a grandfather.

"What letter are you talking about?"

“Ah, Dad....”.

My father stood leaning against the open bedroom door frame.

“Mr Gallahan Lombardy.”

Perez quickly greeted my father.

"What letter are you talking about, Prince."

Perez looked at me for a moment and then handed the Emperor's letter which was torn in half.

"Well..."

I looked up and asked what to do with this letter.

“Let's listen, this is a letter saying that I will make Tia a 'playmate' for Prince.”

"Yes that's right."

"Your Majesty is finally ......"

I guess I thought this might happen.

Is that a hunch among adults?

I looked at Perez with strange eyes for a moment.

Unlike my usual father, he had such a scary face that he looked unfriendly.

Perez's shoulder, which met my father's gaze, was slightly jolted at the sight of a lot of power going into it.

The two did not move as if they were fighting a snowball.

"Hey that……"

I tried to break them up to prevent worse.

my father, who was leaning against the door and standing upright, took something from behind the door with a "kkk".

It was the crutches Dr. O'Malley this morning.

"The letter of the Emperor must be sent immediately. I'm going to my dad's office..."

"I'm going! dad's feet..."

“I can still walk.”

I smiled and said firmly.

“I can walk with crutches. Dad should help Tia.”

Dad walked step by step with crutches propping him up.

It was fine to walk down the aisle, but even worse when going down the stairs.

Louryl and I offered to help, but my father refused.

“I can do it myself.”

He's stubborn enough that Grandpa's appearance can be seen on my father.

But at the same time, on the way to the office, his back looked so big as if he was not afraid of anything.
