In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 52

Chapter 52

To Florentia.

How are you?

I think I'm used to the new palace now.

Because in the east, the sun shines well.

Perhaps that is why there are so many good herbs.

Yesterday, while walking, I found a bunch of Bomnia Flowers. [1]

I could recognize that it was a flower that bloomed a lot in the place where I lived before.

Bomnia Flower will bloom soon.

It is a red flower with beautiful petals.

If Bomnia Flower blooms, can I send it to you?4

The swordsmanship cla.s.s starts tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to it.

I had my first fruit sandwich yesterday.

The white cream was sweet and delicious, but not as much as the candy you gave me.3

Tomorrow, Kylus told the chef to make chocolate cookies.

But it doesn't look as good as the one I had with you, so I'm not expecting much.

If it's okay, send me a reply. If you don't like it, you don't have to. Really.14

See you again.

From Perez.

PS, I think you will also like the Bomnia Flowers.4

* * *

To Perez.

I am sorry for answering late.

I've been a little busy these days.

The horses my dad bought for my birthday have arrived, so I was busy taking care of them.

They are very meek and pretty children.

I named the mother Bailey and her baby Blanc.

It's the first time I've ever heard of a flower called Bomnia Flowers, I'll be looking forward to a flower gift.

How are you?

From Florentia.

PS, why don't you stop eating gra.s.s now?15

* * *

To Florentia.

Finally, the Bomnia Flowers bloomed.

Autumn came slowly this year, and it seems to have bloomed late.

I looked for a book, but the original Bomnia Flowers are wildflowers that grow only in the southern part of the Empire.

Perhaps someone who misses his hometown secretly planted it in the Imperial Palace. I'll send the petals of Bomnia Flowers to Caitlyn. I'm not eating gra.s.s anymore.1

Something weird happened today.

Of course, I was so surprised, especially the swordsman's reaction was weird.

After that, I made an aura several times and then went back.

And in the evening, His Majesty the Emperor came to my palace.

It was my first time seeing him in person, but we really don't resemble him at all.

But His Majesty the Emperor laughed that my talent resembled him.

How about Bailey and Blanc?

Doesn't it bother you?

I hope so.

Because you shouldn't be overworked.

See you again.

From Perez.

* * *

To Perez.

Happy thirteenth birthday.4

I wanted to give you a new sword as a birthday present.

There was a limit for Caitlyn to carry it out secretly, so it was impossible.

So I'll send you some gold coins and a ruby brooch.

This is......

I picked it up while pa.s.sing by. Anyway, happy birthday.

From Florentia.

* * *

To Florentia.

I wore the ruby brooch you gave me last month to dinner.

I couldn't eat properly because the Empress stared at me, but I felt good.2

On your tenth birthday, I heard from Caitlyn that the Vipache I presented to you had an accident with your beloved Bailey.

On behalf of Vipache, I apologize. (Maybe horse name)

By any chance......

By any chance, when we can meet again?1

No other reason, because the last time I saw you were already 2 years and 6 months ago.6

When I can see you again?

From Perez.

* * *

To Perez.

If I see good ruby jewelry in the future, I will present it to you.

The Empress is angry?

I feel good!

And don't worry about Bailey's.

It's a happy thing for Bailey and Blanc to have a new family.

Vipache is doing a great job of being a good father.

And that's how time has already pa.s.sed since we exchanged letters. Did you ask when I can meet you? We will meet soon. Maybe faster than you think.

I will see you soon.

From Florentia.

"Tia, what are you doing?"

I heard a voice calling me when I just put the pen down and raised my head.

I entered the study, a light brown-haired woman, close to the wheat color, took off her coat and smiled at me.

"Oh, Lauryl. Did you come early today?"

Lauryl is a horse companion and a maid employed by my father when I was 10 years old.

She kind and have a bright personality and turned 19 this year.

"Can you give me a room in the mansion? It's very troublesome to travel, Miss. "

"No. If you don't go home, Mrs. Dillard is sad, right?"

She is the youngest daughter of the Dillard couple and a famous princess who is difficult to approach.

"I am worried because I'm the youngest, I have a lot of age difference from my three older brothers."

"My mother also told me to find a good groom now. I also want to have a relationship, but did you write a troubling letter because there was no man around?"

Lauryl approached me and naturally asked, sitting next to me.

"I used that good stationery only once."

At first, I used any paper.

Over time Perez used good paper.

The other person uses good paper, but I can't roughly write it down behind the exercise paper.

I am inevitably writing a good letterhead.

Come to think of it, it was already almost three years ago Perez move to Poirak Palace.

In the meantime, I am now ten years old, and Perez is thirteen after his birthday a while ago.2

I've never seen his face in person again, but every time Caitlyn came to the mansion, he occasionally asked h.e.l.lo in a letter.

"Who is the recipient?"

"I can't tell you yet. You know."

It is not yet to be known that I am the person who is sending and receiving letters with Perez.

Lombardy and Angenas.

It is not the time to intervene in the power battle between the First and Second Princes.

When I put my folded letterhead in an envelope and handed it to Lauryl, she used wax and sealed it.

"Will you tell me later?"

"Yes, later."

Lauryl was a little disappointed, but soon forgot about the letter and watered the flowerpot with a joyful face.

"How do you say the name of this flower, Miss?"

"Bomnia Flowers."

"That's right, Bomnia Flowers. It's a pretty flower. It's a pity that I can only see it for a few days in autumn."

"That's why it's become prettier."

Lauryl stopped watering and said.

"Sometimes Miss speaks prematurely for your true age."

"I am a little smart, that's why."

"Oh, yes. If I think of your cousins, no one is smarter than you."

"That's a natural word."

Lauryl, with her two sleeves, rolled up, opened both windows for ventilation.

If it were the famous daughter of the Dillard family, I wouldn't have to work separately.

Looking at her volunteer work for my maid, it seems that Lauryl is not usually a unique personality.

"Because you're so smart, you know, Clerivan's brother also decided to become your exclusive teacher."

Not long after becoming my person, Clerivan announced that he would resign from his successor education job and become my exclusive teacher.

Thanks to that, the family was in a riot.

How exciting is it when I remember that time?

When I think of Seral's face, who said she couldn't believe it, I still laugh after several years.

Tuk-tuk.

The library door opened with a polite knock.

It was Clerivan.

"Brother!"

Lauryl, who was clearing the curtains, ran toward Clerivan.

".....h.e.l.lo, Dillard Young Lady."

However, Clerivan took half a step back and treated Lauryl, like dealing with a stranger.

"Sigh. When will you treat me as your sister? No one is here anyway."

Lauryl scowled and sad...

Lauryl, who heard about Clerivan's existence from his father when she reached adulthood, was happy to see Clerivan.

"I don't use the last name, Dillard. But why did you call me "Brother"? If your real brother hear it, he will be very disappointed." ("Brother" use the formal call "Orabeoni")

"......You are too much, really."

Lauryl shook his shoulders grimly and went outside.

When Clerivan comes and the cla.s.s begins, Lauryl can't enter my library.

Clerivan's eyes captured the back of Lauryl disappearing out of the door for quite a long time.

Looking at that, it doesn't seem like Lauryl is completely stranger to Clerivan.

However, I didn't talk about it because I could understand a little bit of the heart that was born and raised as an illegitimate child.

Soon Clerivan sat down and the report continued.

"The performance of children's clothing, which started as Miss said, was great. The reaction was fast like when we first launched men's clothing. Here."

Clerivan gave me a well-organized report.

Indeed, it was worth noting that Clerivan Pellet was a genius.

When he first started the ready-to-wear business, he made a few mistakes.

But he never made the same mistake over and over again.

And now, almost three years later, the 'Gallahan Clothing Stores' were spreading throughout the Empire.

The n.o.bles in the neighborhood, who learned of the 'ready-made clothes' system that successfully settled in Lombardy, struggled with each other and asked for a branch of clothing stores in their estates.

Of course, there was a reason behind, that my father was the son of Lulak Lombardy and that a portion of the profits generated from the clothing store was paid to the Lord in a tax form.

As a result, none of the commoners who wore good quality clothes at low prices don't know the name of Gallahan.

It has also been said that the health of the commoners, who now wear clean and seasonal clothes, has improved very much.

In short, my father has become very, very rich in almost three years.3

And because of the children's clothing line launched just a while ago, he is going to become even more wealthy.+

After receiving all the reports of the clothing store, I said to Clerivan, who stood up and packed his luggage.

"Clerivan, get ready to write your resignation soon."
