I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 69

Lulak's face was filled with smiles, but his collar smelled like the wind. [1]

He ran from Lombardy here without delay.

"What are you doing!"

Ferdick Angenas, Lord of Angenas, shouted as he pointed his finger at Lulak.

"Although you are the head of Lombardy, it must have crossed the line to enter without permission into His Majesty's office!"

"Broadzoned? So why are you here asking Your Majesty to give Gallahan business to you?"

"Well, how are you..."

"When I found out Angenas discovered the secrets of the Lombardy family, I couldn't help but read your dirty tricks."

Lulak stepped forward and walked towards Ferdick Angenas.

Lulak's shadow fell over the short, slender Ferdick.

"Are you saying I've crossed the line a while ago?"

"Well, Yeah! How dare you come to His Majesty's office...!"

Lulak raised a threatening hand. His hands would twist the neck of Ferdick Angenas, who repeatedly said the same thing as a parrot.

"Ughhh!"

Ferdick who was under pressure had to clench his teeth to avoid yelling at the strong grip that seemed to crumble his shoulders.

Lulak leaned over Ferdick's ears and spoke softly.

"Are you selling your conscience and your head, Ferdick?"

Only Ferdick Angenas could listen.

"Just like you who don't move at all, if I move, Angelas will become crushed like you."

"What!, are you threatening me now?"

"Yes, yes, this is a threat! So listen to me, Ferdick Angenas."

Lulak's voice became lower.

"Since you set foot in the Imperial Palace to steal the apparel business by utilizing my ailing son, you've crossed the line."

Lulak's cold voice echoed in the emperor's office

His wrinkled brown eyes shone with anger.

"You just crossed a line that protected Angenas from me with your own feet. Do you understand, Ferdick?"

Ferdick Angelas swallowed his saliva.

Although he knew that Lulak was cruel in terms of heredity.

He already thought things like this would happen.

Somehow, he kept thinking that he had crossed a line that he shouldn't have crossed like Lulak said.

Regrets popped up inside Ferdick's head.

And as if reading his thoughts, Lulak said with a grin on his wrinkled face.

"OKAY. You will think about it many times in the future. Regret it, again and again. 'I shouldn't have touched Gallahan back then.'."

Lulak who was holding tightly onto Ferdick Angelas' shoulder turned around.

"For a long time, Owner of Top Durak."

"Yes that.., sorry..."

Croyton Angelas apologizes unknowingly.

"No, no. Don't apologize now. There will be many things to apologize for in the future."

Lulak said with a smile, but the face of the Durak Owner grew white.

Ferdick Angenas saw Emperor Jovannes, too late to ask for help. But the Emperor only sipped alcohol with a watching face.

"So, does Gallahan really have Tlenbrew disease? Is the rumor true?"

The Emperor asked Lulak.

"Frightly so."

"Ughs. Then it'll be hard."

"You don't have to worry about that, Your Majesty."

"But if it's Tlenbrew's disease, next season..."

Jovannes also looked Lulak in the eye and spoke less.

"Gallahan is currently in treatment."

"the care? is there a cure for Tlenbrew disease?"

"So far as it has been."

Lulak paused for a moment.

"New treatments have been developed. He recovered very quickly. So Gallahan's gonna be fine."

"That, that!"

Dazed cries erupted from Ferdick Angenas.

The Tlenbrew cure must be bullshit.

Or Gallahan Lombardy might have really improved?

Lulak was moved, knowing he would be angry, but since he knew what would happen if he could have a ready-made clothing business, he had to take risks.

But Gallahan must be completely safe.

Cold sweat came down from his back.

"What if Gallahan doesn't heal? What are you gonna do?"

Jovannes looked at Lulak with snake-like eyes.

"At that time, Lombardy would take charge and continue the business. That's not gonna happen. Gallahan will rise and emerge."

Lulak said that and left the office.

Last but not least, he would not forget staring at Ferdick Angenas. (Bikin UK is cool)

"Well, let's just watch. A healthy Gallahan won't die."

jovannes said, waving his glass quietly.

Ferdick Angenas had to swallow bitter water.

Lady Sussew stared and sat down in front of Shananet.

"Hear rumors about Gallahan's disease. Is this how Lombardy treats the family she wants to be in business with?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before."

Shananet politely lowered her head.

Seeing that, Nyonha Sussew grew even more furious.

"Give me a reason! Only then can I trust Gallahan and start a big business!"

"Auntie."

After Shananet called Madam Sussew in a soft voice, she took out a letter from her hand.

It was a Gallahan letter.

After opening it, Madam Sussew let out a low voice.

[Dear aunt Beatrix.

Now, I'm guessing that you must have been very angry when you heard about my situation.

I'll tell you when the time comes, but I'll lie to my current aunt.

For the future of my daughter Tia, I try to keep it a secret for as long as possible, without anyone knowing.

Trust me and wait a minute.

If you don't believe me, and think I'm trying to deceive you auntie, please trust the person who delivered this letter.

We will do our best to deliver the good news to you directly.

From Galahan .]

"Syly man ..."

He thought he was just a gentle and gentle man.

He's almost like his father

Isn't it heartbreaking to be angry at a sick niece when she lies for her daughter and calls her 'Auntie'?

Madam Sussew, whose face looked angry, asked Shananet.

" 'I'll come and tell you directly'. What does this mean?"

"That's..."

Shananet tried to hide her confusion.

Although she did not reveal it, she tried to accept all these situations just like Madam Sussew did.

A few hours after just hearing the news of Tlenbrew Gallahan Lombardy's disease, Florentia visited Shananet.

Later, with a letter from Gallahan, Shananet was asked to meet with Mrs Sussew.

Along with the request, 'Please come as Shananet Lombardy, not my father's older sister'.

"One of the researchers, a Lombardy scholarship student, had just discovered and brought a cure for Tlenbrew."

"So, you're saying Gallahan might be better?"

"He's in treatment."

Lady Sussew looked at Shananet with narrowed eyes.

"What if I believe and wait, and that trust betrays me? Angenas can come at any time to grab Sussew's hand and jump."

Shananet confirmed what he had guessed and clenched his fists.

"Auntie, Gallahan is my little brother, but he's stupid he can't lie. It would be nice if he could pretend a little, but he's a fool who can't do such a thing."

It had only been a few hours since he heard the news that his younger brother like that was suffering from an incurable disease.

However, there was no room for mourning and confusion for Shananet now.

The best thing for Gallahan, his sister, who was in the hospital, was to get this job done well.

"I'm sure Gallahan is doing the best he can to overcome his current illness. But, if Gallahan doesn't keep his promise..."

Shananet remembered the words of his young nephew.

'Please come as Shananet Lombardy, not my father's older sister. '

Did the child expect such a situation to come?

Shananet smiled gently at that futile thought.

Then, he stared directly at Madam Sussew.

"Then please believe Lombardy. Gallahan was the founder of the 'Gallahan Clothing Store', but he was also the son of Lord Lulak Lombardy. And Lombardy never let down those who believed in her and worked with her."

For a moment, silence passed.

And Mrs Sussew sighed softly.

"...Tell Gallahan not to worry about Sussew and focus on treatment. Remember that I will hear his condition soon."

"Yes, Auntie."

Shananet got up from her seat, hiding her slightly trembling hands inside the sleeves of her wide dress.

"And, Shananet."

Madame Sussew said as she rubbed her forehead with a tired face.

"Will you tell your husband to stop persuading us, because we don't want to sell the mines we're in?"

"... My husband?"

Shananet was confused for a moment, then hid her expression and nodded her head.

"Yes, Auntie. I'll do it."

* * *

Three weeks have passed since the commotion.

Fortunately, everything that happened at once ended, but it was all just a temporary measure.

The only solution is to make a cure for Tlenbrew and cure my father.

Estira does her best to research but has yet to find a cure.

Dad's illness kept getting worse, like in my last life.

"... I'll be back."

And in this situation, I had to enter the Palace to play the role of Perez's playmate.

I wanted to stay next to him, but dad encouraged me to go and play with Perez to get some fresh air and calm down.

That's what my father wanted, but I can't help but leave.

I got on the train with a gloomy face.

It took me hours to arrive at the Imperial Palace from the Lombardy house, all sorts of thoughts raging in my head.

And finally, we arrived at Poirak Palace, where Perez lived.

"Tia, hello."

Perez greeted me with a faint smile of his.

"Hi."

Frankly, I'm upset.

In this situation, I wanted to spend another hour with my father, the time I spent with Perez was wasted.

Perez, who received my little greeting, looked at my face for a moment.

That's one of his habits.

"Let's go."

Then Perez's hand grabbed mine.

"What's? Where are we going?"

"Today's playground."

"I'm not in the mood to play."

"I know."

What do you know?

It's time my patience ran out

Perez opened the big door with his other hand, which did not hold my hand.

"Here..."

"Library at Poirak Palace. It's a collection of Tlenbrew's disease books and herbal remedies, just as many as I can find."

Perez said, as he pulled a chair from a table in the middle of the library.

"Let's find out about Tlenbrew disease together. If we try to find, we might find a way."

"Perez's..."

"This time I'll help you."
