Chapter 75
What's wrong with him?
"Perez, you know people are watching us, right?"
"I think so."
You're so calm.
I decided to explain one by one.
"There's a reason why my grandfather was against being a part of you from the start, right? If we do something wrong, we'll be misunderstood as a marriage partner."
"Yes I know."
"And I know that there are people who constantly whisper about our future, because of rumors that are circulating that you saved my father, right?"
"No. I don't know that."
Sure oes.
He is Perez who doesn't care about the people around him.
"But it doesn't matter."
"...What's?"
"No problem."
Oh, it's so frustrating that akh is the only one who knows the future.
Because he doesn't know what kind of woman he meets and how he falls in love in the future.
He might be indifferent to whatever rumors were circulating at the moment.
I breathe out slowly.
As far as I can tell, that woman is like Perez's soulmate.
Rumor has it that the two are like a couple made in heaven, and indeed a match.
Moreover, he was the one who helped Perez reclaim the throne.
If such a person hears the rumors and loses contact with Perez, it's a big deal.
I shake my head strongly.
"Rumors like that don't help you. Don't regret it, you better draw a clear line from now on."
"Tia."
Perez called.
"I have no regrets."
"You'll regret it."
"I won't regret it."
You're stubborn!
It's all for you!
You don't even know what my mind is!
I was so frustrated that I felt like I was going to explode, but I immediately accepted it.
He doesn't know the future, he doesn't understand what I'm saying.
Yeah, I just have to be careful.
But Perez is strangely quiet.
Close her lower lip and turn her head to the side.
"Are you upset?"
There's no answer.
He simply stomped and picked up the leaf that fell to the ground with his toes.
"Hey, Perez."
I slipped my shoulders, looked at her, but she immediately turned her head away.
he must be really upset.
"Wait a minute here."
I said that and explored the table where the food was placed.
It just happens to be not far from what I was looking for.
"Eat this and let go."
Perez, still standing there looking sullen, I handed her a chocolate cake.
But it's not just a regular cake.
Big chocolate cake, bigger than my palms combined.
He accepted it, and cut it in half
"You eat too."
I think what you gave me was bigger.
I bit off half of that giant cake.
The sweetness spread in my mouth and tongue as the chocolate melted.
Oh, that's sweet.
It is strange for people to think that sweets are not good for health.
My body trembled with excitement mixed with treachery.
Of course, sweets are the best when subjected to complicated situations.
When I opened my eyes as I was engrossed in the cake, I could see a smile on Perez's lips.
"That's great, isn't it?
"Yes that's good."
Perez smiled and nodded.
I patted Perez on the shoulder, which was now above the height of my eyes.
He's a little bigger, but he's still young.
He's only 13, so it's clear.
"Time will tell, Perez."
"I think so too."
Perez was more relaxed, and he agreed obediently.
"You'll know in time."
He said so and bit the cake once more.
Seeing her eyes sparkle, she must have really liked chocolate cake.
I should pack it for him when he gets home.
"Oh, come to think of it. I have to go to the academy."
"Ohok, ... What's?"
"I was told a few days ago.I was worried ..."
"That must be the will of Empress Rabini."
I spoke in the lowest voice possible.
It was the Imperial Academy, the object of dreams and jealousy for commoners, but it was slightly different for nobles and the royal family.
Successors to take over the family were not sent to the Academy.
It is a rule that is implicitly maintained.
Heirs are raised in families and educated directly in the family.
Therefore, the Empress wanted to send Perez to the Academy and make sure that the Crown Prince's place was Astana's.
"I really don't want to go ..."
Perez mutters.
I understand, that thought.
Going to the Academy could seem like a huge setback if he just waited and looked.
First of all, he had to stay in the closed academy for 5 years except for a very short vacation.
And in the meantime, Astana will win the nobles.
With a rival named Perez stuck in the Academy.
That is what the Queen planned.
But this was just the result he wanted.
Perez in my previous life met his colleagues and confidants at the Academy.
Many did indeed view the academy as the next best thing that was reluctantly chosen by those who failed to become successors.
In other words, it also meant that there were many people who were pushed into the academy regardless of their abilities.
There, Perez will choose an unappreciated and talented person according to his wishes.
Also, the academy was beyond the reach of the Empress.
He can't kill or hurt Perez anymore.
After all, there were higher strict rules than Imperial Law except for the Emperor Order, and the students were protected by that law.
Considering all the reasons, Perez had to be accepted into the academy.
"Is there a reason? The reason you don't want to go to the academy."
"That's it..."
Perez looked me in the eye as he tried to say something.
Eyes like rubies sparkled in light.
"Just..."
He won't tell me why.
It's not a direct reaction to everything, but it happens sometimes.
"Think slowly."
I didn't push his back by saying 'You should go to the academy'.
"... Hm."
He also nodded with a mysterious expression on his face.

[......Ah, sweetheart.
Ah, I admire you so much.
My life, my light, my heart!
Thinking of you, my eyes rise and the stars set, my beautiful darling.
Don't forget this love.
Let's have a great day together.
Please don't forget me.]
Clap clap
Julieta Avino's birthday show, in which opera tickets are sold out day after day.
While clapping, the nobles were struck by the overwhelming luxury.
Although Florentina was the grandson of the Lord of Lombardy and, the daughter of Gallahan Lombardy, they had never heard of the birthday of such a beautiful and magnificent 11-year-old.
"Julieta Avino is sponsored by a clothing store."
Someone whispered on Julieta's colorful stage costume like any other custom dress.
"There were rumors circulating that it was not sponsored by a clothing store, it was sponsored by Gallahan Lombardy. That's what they say ..."
"Ah, really?"
"So did Julieta, and so did the Second Prince. I think it's true that Gallahan Lombardy succeeds in whatever he touches."
"How many times has the tax increased in a month after the opening of a clothing store in Sussew?"
"Maybe we should not anticipate succession to the throne, but rather predict Lombardy's next move."
"This is the first or third problem."
Everyone agreed with that statement.
"It looks like the imperial family has started walking on a leash ..."
The eyes of the nobles who spoke reached Perez, the Second Prince.
"But still, can we defeat Viese Lombardy, who has Angela as his wife?"
"yeah..."
Again, many agree.
Gallahan is very prominent these days, but the first son, Viese cannot be ignored.
"And Gallahan Lombardy didn't have a son to carry on the family, did he? She's young, so there's a chance she'll have children in the future..."
"But there's a saying that Gallahan's daughter is loved by God."
"No matter how much she loves, there are limits to a girl."
Unfortunately, that's true.
"But..."
Then one of the crowd pointed to both sides and said.
"Did Lulak Lombardy ever have such a succession of favorites?"
There was Florentia, who ran over with a smile, calling out "Grandfather", and Lord Lombardy, who was carrying the granddaughter as it laughed out loud that could be heard from ear to ear.
"God..."
They don't know where to line up.
The worries of the nobles who saw the granddaughter looked so beautiful that they could not help but speak deeper.

Kyuuk.
Even if no one wakes me up, my eyes open on their own.
Outside, I heard birds chirping, the cool breeze, and the clear sky.
It was the perfect morning.
Shower, change clothes, simple breakfast.
There are no obstacles in this series of events, such as running water.
Finally, Louryl, who was touching my clothes in front of the mirror, asked.
"This is the first day of freedom that Miss is waiting for, what will the lady do today?"
"Well, first of all."
I walked over to the side of the bed and took out the pocket I kept in the drawer.
Clinking.
I smiled happily at the weight of the money that was filled in my pocket.
"I'll spend some of my pocket money."
The first day is shopping.
