In This Life, I Will Be The Lord

Chapter 75

What’s wrong with him?

"Perez, you know people are paying attention to us, right?"

"I guess so."

What do you mean ’I Guest so’.

You are so calm.

I decided to explain one by one.

"There was a reason why my grandfather was against being a part of you in the first place, right? If we did something wrong, we would be misunderstood as a marriage partner."

"Yes, I know."

"And I know that there are people who are constantly whispering about our future, as rumors have circulated that you saved my father, right?"

"No. I didn’t know that."

Of course.

He’s Perez who doesn’t care about people around him.

"But it doesn’t matter."

"...What?"

"It doesn’t matter."

Oh, it’s so frustrating that you’re the only one who knows the future.

Because he doesn’t know what kind of woman he meets and how he falls in love with in the future.1

You may be indifferent to whatever rumors are circulating right now.

I sighed softly.

As far as I know, that woman is like Perez’s soulmate.

Rumor has it that the two were like a match made in heaven, and were indeed a really good match.

In addition, she was the person who helped Perez retake the throne.

If such a person hears rumors and loses touch with Perez, it’s a big deal.

Even if I can help him become the Crown Prince, I cannot tolerate taking away the opportunity to meet such a precious person from him.

I shook my head firmly.

"Rumors like that don’t help you. Don’t regret it, you’d better draw a clear line from now on."

"Tia."

Perez calls me.

"I have no regrets."

"You’ll regret it."

"I won’t regret it."

You were stubborn!

It’s all about you!

You don’t even know how I feel!

I was so frustrated that I felt like I was going to burst, but I soon accepted it.

He doesn’t know the future, he doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

Yeah, I just have to be careful instead.

But Perez is strangely quiet.

Close his lower lip and turn his head to the side.

"Did you upset?"

There’s no answer.

He only steps on and takes off a leaf that has fallen to the ground with his toes.

"Hey, Perez."

I slipped my shoulder, took a look at him, but soon flipped his head away.

You must be really upset.

"Hold on a second here."

I said that and scoured the table where the food was placed for it.

It just so happens that not far away was what I was looking for.

"Eat this and let it go."

Perez, still standing there looking sullen, I handed over chocolate cookies.

But it’s not just a normal cookie.

Big chocolate cookies, bigger than my palms combined.

He accepted it, and cut it in half

"You eat, too."

I think the one you gave me is bigger.

I bit off half of the giant cookie.

The sweetness spreads in my mouth and my tongue as the chocolate melts.

Oh, it’s sweet.

It’s strange for people to think that sweets are not good for their health and taste better.

My body trembled with joy mixed with a sense of betrayal.

Of course, sweets are the best when it’s complicated.

When I opened my eyes as I was absorbed in cookies, I could see a smile on Perez’s lips.

"That’s good, isn’t it?

"Yes, that’s good."

Perez smiled and nodded.

Dude, you’ve relieved your anger.

I patted Perez on the shoulder, which is now above my eye level.

He’s a little bigger, but he’s still young.

He’s only 13, so it’s obvious.

"Time will tell, Perez."

What I meant by what I said now.

"I think so, too."

Perez was more relaxed, and he agreed obediently.

"You’ll find out in time."

He said so and bit the cookie once again.

Seeing his eyes twinkling, he must have liked the chocolate cookie quite a bit.

I should pack it for him when he goes home.

"Oh, come to think of it. I have to go to the academy."

"Cough, ...What?"

"I was informed a few days ago. I’m afraid..."

"It must be the will of Empress Rabini."

I spoke with my voice as low as I could.

It was an Imperial Academy, the object of dreams and envy for the common people, but it was slightly different for the aristocrats and the royal family.

Successors to take over the family are not sent to the Academy.

That was a rule that was implicitly maintained.

Heirs are raised in the family and taught directly in the family.

However, those who had to continue their titles, such as their second and third sons, went to the Imperial Academy to build personal connections and gain knowledge.

Therefore, the Empress wants to send Perez to the Academy and make sure that the Crown Prince’s place belongs to Astana.

"I don’t really want to go..."

Perez murmured.

I understand, that mind.

Going to the Academy could seem like a big setback if you wait and see right now.

First of all, you have to live in a closed academy except for a very short vacation for a long time of 5 years.

And in the meantime, Astana will win over the nobles.

With a rival named Perez trapped in the Academy.

That’s exactly what the Empress plan.

She can’t kill or harm Perez anymore.

But this is just the result she wants.

Perez in my previous life met his trusted side at the Academy.

Many indeed view the academy as the next best thing that those who fail to become successors reluctantly choose.

In other words, it also meant that there were a lot of people who were pushed to the academy despite their abilities.

There, Perez will pick out the unappreciated and talented person to his liking.

Also, the academy is out of the Empress’s reach.

In any case, there were strict rules that were superior to the Imperial Laws except the Emperor’s Imperial Command, and the students were protected by that law.

Considering all the reasons, Perez should be admitted to the academy.

"Is there any particular reason? The reason you don’t want to go to the academy."

"That’s it..."

Perez looks me in the eye when he tries to say something.

Ruby-like eyes sparkled in the light.

"Just."

He didn’t want to tell me why.

It wasn’t a straightforward reaction to everything, but it happens sometimes.

"Think about it slowly."

I didn’t push his back saying ’You must go to the academy’.

"...Hm."

He also nodded with a mysterious look on his face.

[......Ah, my dear.

Ahh, I admire you so much.

My life, my light, my heart, the rental!

Thinking of you, my sun rises and the stars set, my beautiful darling.

Don’t forget this love.

Let’s have a great day together.

Please don’t forget.]

Clap Clap Clap-

Julieta Avino’s birthday performance, where opera tickets sold out day after day.

While clapping, the nobles were surprised by the extravagant luxury.

Even though I’m the granddaughter of the Lord of Lombardy and, Gallahan Lombardy’s daughter.

They’ve never heard of such a splendid, grand 11-year-old’s birthday.

"Julieta Avino is sponsored by a clothing store."

Someone whispered at Julieta’s stage costumes as colorful as any customized dress.

"There’s a rumor going around that it’s not sponsored by the clothing store, it’s sponsored by Gallahan Lombardy. That’s what they’re saying..."

"Oh, really?"

"So did Julieta, and so did Second Prince. I guess it’s true that Gallahan Lombardy’s is successful in anything he touches."

"How many times did the taxes increase within a month after the opening of the clothing store in Sussew?"

"Maybe we should not anticipate the succession of the throne, but rather predict Lombardy’s next move."

"It’s a matter of first or third."

Everyone nodded in agreement with that statement.

"It seems that the imperial family has already started walking the tightrope..."

The eyes of the nobles who were talking reached Perez, the Second Prince.

"But still, can we beat Viese Lombardy, who has Angenas as his wife?"

"Well..."

Again, many people agreed.

Gallahan is very prominent these days, but the first son, Viese could not be ignored.

"And Gallahan Lombardy doesn’t have a son to carry on the family, does he? He’s still young, so there’s a chance he’ll have children in the future...."

"But there’s a saying that Gallahan’s daughter is especially loved by the Lord."

"No matter how beautiful you are, there’s a limit to a girl."

Sadly, that was correct.

"But..."

Then one of the crowds pointed to either side and said.

"Did Lulak Lombardy ever have such a favorite succession?"

There was Florentia, who ran with a smile, call "Grandpa", and Lord of Lombardy, who held such a granddaughter and burst into a silly laugh from ear to ear.

"Oh, my..."

They don’t know where to line up.

The worries of the aristocrats who saw the granddaughter look so beautiful that they could not help themselves became deeper.

* * *

Chirping.

Even if no one woke me up, my eyes opened on their own.

Outside, I hear birds chirping, cool wind, and sunny sky.

It was a perfect morning.

Wash up, change clothes, get dressed up, have a simple breakfast.

There was no blockage in this series of events like water flowing.

Finally, Louryl, who was touching my clothes in front of the mirror, asked.

"It’s the first day of freedom that you’ve been waiting for, what are you going to do today?"

"Well, first of all."

I walked to the side of the bed and took out a pocket that I had cherished in the drawer.+

Jingle.

Once you hear it, You’ll a sound that everyone had no choice but to know.

I smiled with delight at the heaviness of the money-filled in my pocket.

"I’m going to spend some of my pocket money."

The first day is shopping.
