I Shall Master This Family's
68

Chapter 68

I'm sending the twins back home for now.

They were sad to see my face after so long, but I kept telling them to leave.

They were very careful in treating me, probably because they thought my father's condition would hurt me.

Clerivan and Estira are still in front of me.

I found a chair and sat down..

My hands are sweating cold.

I also closed my eyes.

Calm.

I have to think of a way to solve this problem.

I kept breathing in and out for a long time..

My fast-paced heart kept bothering my mind.

But I remember my father.

My father in the past, who had been asleep for a long time because of the painkillers he took when his condition worsened.

The things that happened when my father was dying could never be forgotten.

Then, like a lie, the trembling subsided.

The thoughts scattered in the chaos gathered together and began to gradually sort.

Good. I've already decided.

When my mind was quite eased, I opened my eyes and said.

Estira.

"Yes, Miss."

"What's the problem with the drug now? To be precise, explain it briefly."

Estira paused for a moment and said.

"We need a medium to stabilize the mixture potion. We need to find that one ingredient."

That's relieving.

Estira's medication isn't far from over.

Think, think.

I've read Estira's autobiography in my previous life.

I had no herbal background, so my memory of her was weak, but I kept trying to remember her.

Difference between Estira of the past and Estira of the present.

[...I have been on holiday for the last five years in my hometown. His research was slow, but I was lucky enough to get inspired when my mind was tired.].

Yeah, there's such a thing.

"Estira, have you told your grandmother back home what happened?"

"Oh, not yet. I think I should keep it a secret ..."

"I'll send someone right away, so send a letter to your grandmother. He's been making medicine longer than Estira."

"Oh, yeah! If it was grandma, she probably knew!"

Estira's face was filled with excitement.

I gave Estira time to write a letter, and Estira left the room without delay.

"And Clerivan ......"

The behavior of Angenas and the rumour of my father's illness are related.

"It's a bad time. Rumors that Gallahan Lombardy had Tlenbrew disease in the middle of a negotiation conversation with the Sussews about opening a branch in the South would be fatal."

"That's what they're planning."

This must be what Angelas wanted to do.

I don't know how they knew my father was sick, but I have to move carefully for now.

"Do you think the Sussews already know?"

Clerivan asked me.

"If it was Madam Sussew, she would not have trusted him right away after hearing the rumors. It was not entirely different from the Lombardy family. They'll confirm to us in any form."

"I'm glad to hear that. There wasn't much time before Mrs Sussew heard the news. We gotta move fast."

"You said Angenas was in the palace now, right?"

"Yes, right. I got their information through the palace gates, so I waited for the missus' order."

I agree with Clerivan that there is no time.

We need to move fast.

"I'll take care of Mrs. Sussews. Clerivan has a place to go."

"Say your orders, Miss Florentia."

Clerivan stood up and said, packing his coat.

Fortunately, I know someone who can help us now.

"Go and meet my grandfather now. Tell my grandfather about this situation and have him go straight to the Palace."

Seeing the Emperor was not easy for a high-ranking noble.

Sometimes you have to wait a few days.

But it's different if it's my grandfather.

If it was grandfather, he could have directly gone from Lombardy to the Emperor's office.

He might be able to prevent Angela's plan.

Seeing Clerivan coming out the back, I opened my father's door, which was tightly shut...

* * *

"Dad, Dad."

Gallahan opened his eyes to a small hand that shook his shoulder.

"Well, Tia?"

How long has he been asleep?

The stiff eyes showed a hazy world only after blinking a few times.

"Dad, get up for a second. I have something to say."

Gallahan clasped his daughter's small hand still in one hand.

He tried to make sure that he was not dreaming because of dizziness.

"It must be hard, I'm sorry."

"Tia, there's nothing to be sorry about. I'm more sorry that you kept sleeping without noticing my Tia."

Meanwhile, Gallahan struggles with the eyelids constantly trying to close.

"What do you have to say, Tia?"

"There's a rumor going around that my dad's sick."

"......What's?"

Gallahan's disease should be kept secret until the end.

It was important to Gallahan's clothing store, and most importantly it was to Tia.

"No, how.... Who's that......"

Gallahan muttered in confusion.

"Dad."

"Tia...?"

Gallahan wondered, 'Oh, is that a dream?'

That's because his daughter's face looks a little different today.

His face still looked like a child, but on it was a much more mature face.

It was as if he was drunk and hallucinating.

"I want to explain everything, but I don't have time right now. So I'll tell you soon. Please write me a letter."

"Letter...? To whom?"

"For Mrs Sussew."

Tia quickly brought a low table, letter paper, and stationery to use in bed.

"Letter is simple. 'I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about this disease before. I am calming down now. But I'm sending this letter to someone I trust, so I want you to trust me and wait a little bit longer.' "

Gallahan held the quill pen his daughter gave him.

When he had just put the tip of his pen on the paper, he looked towards Florentia.

His eyes were filled with many things.

It looked calm but filled with things in its eyes.

"......If you have put out an urgent fire. Will you tell me, Tia?"

He knew his daughter was different.

Although she is shy and vulnerable, she is always faster than others in learning.

In the past and now.

She is a beautiful princess than anyone, but she has a premonition that maybe she has a secret she does not know.

"I promise, Dad."

Listening to Tia, Gallahan moved the quill pen without hesitation.

From beginning to end, he wrote it down just as Tia had said.

In the end, he dipped his pen in ink and took it out, leaving behind a powerful signature that did not seem to belong to a sick person.

Gallahan folded the letter, gave it to Florentia, and asked.

"May you ask who will send this letter?"

It seemed like he would not send out a letter if it was held by a stranger.

It was a vague guess, to the point that it could be called a father's instinct.

Tia looked surprised for a moment, then smiled.

"I'll ask Aunt Shananet."

Before long, Tia ran out of the room after leaving a kiss on Gallahan's cheek.

Lord Angenas was sitting in the right place without moving.

He was in stark contrast to Croyton, owner of Top Durak, who could not stand it for a while and was impatient.

"How long has it been since we got here now?"

"Uh uh, I mean... Yeah, maybe four hours have passed."

"I understand."

Jovanes is currently hosting a gathering of 80 people.

It was an important meeting, no one could predict how many hours it would last, but according to what the waiter had just said, the meeting was almost over.

"Oh, when did he come ..."

Croyton said nervously, looking at the door that would not open.

"When the King comes, Croyton, you shut up. I'll take care of it."

Croyton nodded and agreed.

"Alright, even if His Majesty told you to speak, I will answer him......"

Brakes.

The door opened without warning and Emperor Jovanes entered.

Croyton bleached and jumped from the chair of Angenas.

"I can't believe you're here without an appointment. What's going on?"

Although he was the father of the Empress and her father-in-law.

There was no respect for his father-in-law on Jovanes' face.

Instead, he felt extremely uncomfortable as he could not go to the scheduled eagle hunt after the competition.

Lord Angenas said with a friendly smile that was no match for him.

"I took the liberty to visit His Majesty because I want your permission."

"Izin's? Since when does Angelas need my permission?"

"We, Angenas, are always on the move for the prosperity of His Majesty and the Empire. That's why I'm coming to see you again this time. We need special permission from your highness......"

"That's a long introduction. So what family are you going to attack this time?"

Currently, the Lambrew Empire was already saturated.

There are too many so-called "central nobles" or "high-ranking nobles".

In order to suppress the gap and settle down, Angenas had been picking up items from other families all along.

This was the same case with the Brown family, whose castle was taken for the first time, and the surrounding nobles who had taken their territory by making them indebted.

Naturally, the enemy would definitely continue to grow, and if not for the Empress being the daughter of Lord Angenas, they would become public enemies and perish.

"The Lombardy family."

"What's? What did you just say?"

"I told you it was the Lombardy family."

"Are you crazy now?"

Jovanes shouted furiously from the bottom of his heart.

"Is this the Queen, what the hell! What Angenas had against the Lombards, so it always weighed on them ......!"

"Gallahan Lombardy has Tlenbrew disease."

"Gallahan..... have Tlenbrew disease?"

"Yes, so the viability of the apparel business is at stake. It is difficult for a clothing store to survive without its founder, Gallahan. How many people will the Empire suffer from it?"

"That, are you sure? About Gallahan's Disease."

"Yes, I heard it directly from Gallahan's doctor."

"Well......."

That hard.

To celebrate the apparel business, Jovanes even gave her a Founder Medal.

"So we, Angenas, will try to make those ready-to-wear clothes. Give me permission, Your Majesty."

"Give me time to think."

Jovanes tried to seriously consider the proposal of Lord Angelas.

"No need to think, Your Majesty."

Lulak Lombardy opened the door with a relaxed look.
