In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Her finger pointed to the two wheat fields, which were divided exactly in half.

"Originally, both of these places had withered from the plague. A few months ago."

Perez's gaze moved to the right.

Unlike the left, which had completely withered, the wheat field on the right was no different from what he had seen before climbing the hill.

Growing high up to the waist, the golden wheat was in a state of waiting only for harvest.

But that place was also damaged by the plague.

"Although Lombardi's scholars have found a cure, I thought it was a little late. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like it."

She spoke as if nothing had happened, but Perez couldn't keep up. And he asked, hopefully, with a strange foreboding.

"Tia, are you going to tell everyone about the cure?"

"Yes, I will."

"Why?"

In the end, the questions that Perez had been holding on, burst out from his mouth.

"How come you don't use it?"

He couldn't understand.

If he had a cure in his hand, he would use it.

A terrible plague that has never been experienced before, and the upcoming cold season.

Everything was perfectly organized.

A plate that can bring everyone to their knees in front of Florentia Lombardi who has the cure.

However, at Perez's question, Florentia fell into thought, saying 'Umm'.

The person who had been answering so easily over the whole empire until now was funnyly choosing a word for this easy question.

Finally, her lips opened.

"Because I can do it."

"Because you... can do it?"

"Yeah, I told you. A lot of people are going to die, and I can stop it."

She do it because she can.

It was her words.

"Umm, is the explanation a bit weak?"

Tia tilted her head slightly and said this with smile.

"Lombardi doesn't destroy the whole chessboard to win one game."

Looking down at the empire that united the western continent like a single chessboard.

It couldn't be help but sounds like Lombardi.

"After this one game, shouldn't we continue to win? In order to do that, the chessboard doesn't look good until it goes bad."

"Then what about the South?"

Perez could not bear it and asked hastily.

"Are you planning to give the cure to the South?"

If this plague continues, it would be the South that would suffer the most.

The wheat production from the vast plains was the sharpest weapon the Sushou family had.

But Tia nodded and answered immediately.

"Of course."

"...Why? Why do you want to give them the cure?" (TN: Honestly, is it wrong to give the cure to others? I'll also do it if it's about the lives of people in the country, especially if I'm rich like Tia.)

At Perez's question, she rolled her big eyes once and said.

"Of course, it was a mistake for Chanton Sushou to touch Lombardi. In particular, it is a big mistake to try to wield it at will, not to mention crossing the eastern trade of Chesail."

However.

She added.

"There is no reason for the people of the South to suffer because of the foolishness of Chanton Sushou."

She was adamant.

Perez stared at Tia as if he was a scolded little child.

Perhaps she felt that gaze, she grinned.

"And I never said I'd give it for free. I'll take what I have to get."

Especially for that black bear.

Tia said, clenched her fists.

"Ha."

Perez eventually laughed in vain, putting his hand on his forehead.

After taking a few deep breaths in that state, he raised his head again.

Tia was still looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Tia, you..."

The golden waves of wheat fields also lost their brilliance before her.

A person who shines brighter than anyone else.

'What kind of woman did I fall in love with?'

He couldn't help but laugh helplessly, like a man who was caught off guard.

"Come on, let's go, Perez."

Tia reached out her hand.

"Now I really have to go to Luman. I have to see Lix too, and I'm really tired."

She grumbled like a child, to the point where it could be wondered if she was the one who was comparing the empire to the chessboard a while ago.

Perez looked at her hand, which had reached out in front of him, for a moment before clasping it as if wrapped around it.

The slender hand came into one hand as if it had been tailored for him.

And just like any day in his childhood, Perez smiled quietly as he looked at the back of Tia, who took the lead.

***

A few days later.

The wedding day of Larane Lombardi and Avinox Luman has come.

The reason the Luman family, who had been busy with the final preparations, became even more noisy was because the guests of the bride's side, the Lombardi family, had just arrived at the Luman's mansion.

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d black bear!"

Since the first day in Luman, I have been constantly receiving reports about my family's journey through the Pellet Corporation.

Again, the culprit was Chanton Sushou.

Perhaps it was a very deliberate decision, from the moment the people of Lombardi tried to enter Sushou's land, they made a fuss one by one.

It was very picky, from the armed forces of escorting soldiers and knights to the n.o.blemen's laws on traffic.

In the end, the families who missed the originally scheduled cruise had to wait two full days for the next ship to be ready in a hurry.

I was almost the only member of the bride's family at Larane's wedding. (TN: I put it back. Chanton is really annoying.)

"I'm really going to take away a jar of honey."

From one to ten, it was a black bear with favorite corner.

"A jar of honey?"

Oh, right.

I wasn't alone right now.

I and Perez were just waiting at the front door of the mansion to meet my family as the carriage carrying them had arrived.

"Ah, there is such a thing. It's a bad desire to want to see a dragging bear. Oh, it's my father!"

"Tia!"

The door of the carriage that came in at the forefront was slammed open, and my crying father ran towards me.

Seeing that his skin was less glossy than usual, I thought he had a hard time to keep up with the wedding day.

"I'm here, Dad."

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere? How reckless were the soldiers of Sushou..."

"I will report each and every one of Sushou's actions in detail. Lord."

"Oh, Clarivan."

Clarivan, who was in the same carriage as my father, approached and spoke in a cool voice. (TN: Ah.. Clarivan! I missed you!)

Seeing him raising his gla.s.ses with a very sensitive face, he seemed to be firmly angry.

You shouldn't have touched him, black bear.

You're in trouble now. The second carriage just came to a halt as I was dragging my tongue towards the Chanton Sushou's future.

Then I saw my grandfather opened the door with his own hands and got off.

Like my father, his complexion looked a little tired, but somehow he looked much better.

He stretched his back and even had time to look around the Luman family's mansion.

However, Luman family's employees were stumped and could not easily reach my grandfather.

My grandfather used to be a little scary in his old days.

I shook my head at the sight and walked to my grandfather.

"Grandpa."

"Oh, Tia."

As soon as my grandfather saw me, his expressionless face filled with a wrinkled smile.

"You're here, Elder Lord Lombardi."

"Hmm. I don't think it was necessary for you to come, Your Majesty."

Of course, the moment he saw Perez standing next to me, my grandfather did not hide his displeasure at the man who stole his granddaughter.

"My grandfather is coming, how can I do that?"

"Gra- Grandfa...ther"

It was a statement of the fact that the relationship between him and myself, who was engaged, was already like a family.

My grandfather shut his mouth disapprovingly and soon turned his head away from Perez.

And he asked me.

"Yeah, did everything go well?"

"Of course, Grandpa."

I smiled triumphantly.

"I'm going to hit even the things that made my grandfather suffer today, and I'm going to take it well."

"...Really?"

Grandfather looked at me with strange eyes for a moment and soon burst into laughter.

"Pwuhaha! That big stubborn man's face will be worth seeing! Hahaha!"

"Oh!"

Stubborn man. (TN: In korea is 벽창호 /byeog-cang-ho. It took me more time to find the meaning.)

That's the perfect nickname.

I should consider changing the t.i.tle of Chanton Sushou from black bear to stubborn man.

It was when my grandfather, who kept laughing loudly, was watching the back view of the entrance into the Luman mansion.

"Tia!"

The same but different voices called me all at once.

At the same time, a large hand swung around me.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Are you okay? Did anything happen?"

"You just arrived. Aren't you tired? You still have good stamina, Gillieu, Mairon?"

"But Lombardi's vice captain... No, that's not what's important."

"Did anything happen? Why didn't you at least send me a letter in the middle..."

The twins frantically wandered around, wondering if they were going to check my condition from head to toe.

"I wasn't in the mood for that. Thank you for coming a long way, Auntie."

I was escorted by Perez and greeted Shananet, who had just got off the carriage.

"Long trips are tough. and."

However, Shananet's pale complexion's eyes turned sharp in an instant.

"When we have time, let's talk about Chanton Sushou."

What the h.e.l.l have you done, black bear?

After Clarivan, who make it b.l.o.o.d.y when he get touched, he even bought the hatred of Shananet, who doesn't get angry easily.

When I go back to Lombardi, I wondered if I don't have to step up.

Thus, all the people of Lombardi arrived safely in Luman.

And there were people who longed for it more than I did.

"Grandpa, aunt, uncle!"

It was Larane.

Larane, who had come down the stairs half-running at a rapid pace, stood in front of the Lombardi family.

And she couldn't talk for a while.

Even from where she was standing, I could see her hesitant lips quivering.

And when Larane is trying to say something.

"Long time no see, Larane."

My grandfather who said so hugged Larane tightly.

"Oh..."

Even a flower that has taken root in a new place misses the arms of its family.

Eventually, my father and Shananet hugged Larane, who shed tears.

A sunny eastern morning with a fresh breeze.

It was Larane's wedding day.
