In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Two weeks have passed since my father's Gallahan clothing store opened.
As a result, the ready-to-wear business was a big hit.
Even today, before the opening hours every day, all of the supplies were sold out and they were closing early, and the word 'ready clothes' was spreading more and more throughout the Lambrew Empire, as synonymous with Gallahan clothing stores.
It was impossible to meet the demand with the crowds of people, so some time ago, additional weavers and tailors had to be hired, three times the number of those who first hired.4
And now he was trying to find a suitable location to make a branch.
Many were amazed at the introduction of the new concept of ready-to-wear and the prices of cheap clothes.
But what was most surprised by the success of this project was the people inside the Lombardy family.
The people of the family, who thought my father who had a low presence considered as a timid youngest, who just liked to read books, were surprised and half turned upside down.
Some of the vassals said, 'Is that Gallahan the one I know?'
To that extent, my father's position was very different from two weeks ago.
Even today, the mansion was noisy from the morning because of my father.
It was not a place where everyone had to attend unconditionally like the last banquet, but it was an autonomous gathering for breakfast.
Over the weekend, the family of Laurels, who stayed in Ginefolk Street, his wife's family, and Vestian, who had been to work from early morning, gathered together.
I sat next to my father, ate fruit with a fork, and appreciated the faces of the people sitting around the table.
Grandfather laughed happily as he watched the servants busily walking in and out of the room.
"Haha! It looks so good. Isn't it, Shananet?"
"Yes, father. The employees are also very fond of it."
"That ready-to-wear is a very convenient thing, Gallahan!"
Within a few days after my father's clothing store opened and the boom hit, a large number of orders came in to buy several hundred pieces of the same type of clothes at once.
It was the Lombardy family.
They picked ready-to-wear clothes from Gallahan clothing stores as uniforms for employees working inside the mansion.
With that order, grandfather quickly became a VIP of the clothing store, and today was the day the clothes ordered were distributed to the servants.
Overall, the uniform, red or dark burgundy, was a dress that women could wear with their tops freely, while men could wear pants and vests with autonomous shirts as well.
Originally, a clothing store that only sold women's clothing had to make a pattern for men's clothing because of this order, but it was a large order to cover the cost.
"Thank you for the compliment, Father."
My father nodded with a slightly embarrassed face.
And it is this change that I like the most among them.
"How did you come up with such an ingenious idea, Gallahan."
Grandpa said to my father with a happy face.
"Hmm."
As the praise continues, Viese's face hardens more and more.
I pretend to be calm, but the sporadic swelling under my eyes seemed to be boiling inside.Oh, it's fun!1

When the interest of the family and the empire turned to my father, Viese couldn't stand it.
I had to pinch my thighs in order not to laugh too hard while staring at such a figure of Viese.
"John."
Grandpa called the butler who was waiting next to him.
"Yes, Lord."
"What did the servants say? Did you like it as Shananet said?"
"Everyone is very grateful that they don't have to worry about their clothes anymore."
"Huh, yes. Good, good."
The grandfather nodded and said that he was very satisfied.
"If you have a problem with your clothes or need extra clothes, make sure to buy new clothes at all times. Is it possible, Gallahan?"
"Yes, yes. If John contacts the clothing store, we will arrange for delivery to the mansion at any time."
The butler seemed a little surprised by my grandfather's words, then bowed deeply with a smile.
It was an expression of gratitude and respect.
"Okay, and Gallahan.
"Yes, father."
"You did very well."
That was only one word.
A word of praise from the father to his son as if tossing it.
But the repercussions were great.
The actions of the people around the table stopped for a moment, and the deacon John also stared at my father.
"Hmmh hmm."
Grandpa also hurriedly continued eating while coughing as if feeling the reaction around him.
"Thank you, father."
I wondered if my father was surprised for a moment, and then replied in a small voice.
At that time, Seral said that she seemed to intervene with an exaggerated tone of voice.
"Now, in a few days, it's the day that Belsach visits the first prince, Father."
His intention to divert the subject of the conversation from my father to his son, Belsach, was abundant.
"What kind of gift should I bring?"
She wasn't really asking for advice.
In a word, she was asking for a suitable one of the 'family's' items.
Shananet, who couldn't know the insider's meaning, said, frowning at her fair eye.
"Wouldn't it be necessary for young children to meet for a while and bring a present to their play?"
"It's not just another noble child, but its the first prince, who will become the crown prince in the future? This is the first visit, you have to bring a present...."
"If so, choose a gift that suits your circumstances and go."
"But sister...."
"Serral."
Shananet's strict attitude made Seral cry.
Then he looked at grandfather as if asking for help.
"... Take the key from John the day before your visit and go."
The term "storehouse" the grandfather refers to is a safe located deep inside the mansion.
It is full of all kinds of treasures that Lombardy has owned for hundreds of years, which I haven't even seen in a few times.
It is a space with a total of 3 stories underground, and inside it is huge enough to get lost if you make a mistake.
In other words, when the grandfather said, 'Take the key,' he said to freely choose and present it to the prince.
It was needless to say that Seral's face became bright as if it had just lit up.
Shananet seemed dissatisfied with grandfather's decision, but no longer vomited.
"Thank you, father."
Seral laughed as he stroked Belsach's head sitting next to him.
Even then, her face seemed to be relieved a little.
Belsach was greedy with bacon, not knowing what the grown-ups were talking about.
After looking at Belsach for a long time, I accidentally made eye contact with my grandfather.
Then, the hardened grandfather's eyes were relieved.
After all, my grandfather likes me.
I chewed the deaf food in front of me as if I knew nothing.
"Haha... ... ."
It would be nice to just see the delicious stuff in the granddaughter's mouth.
"John, give me the keys."
Key?
Are you referring to the warehouse key?
Maybe Seral thought like me, and I could see she fix her dress and getting a key.
"Huh?"
But what the butler handed to my grandfather wasn't the warehouse key I knew.
And my grandfather called me.
"Tia, come here."
"...... Me?"
Anyway, when he called, I walked in front of my grandfather.
My grandfather gently stroked my cheek with the back of his hand and held a slightly larger key in my hand.
"It's the key to the library that I had previously decided to give as a gift for your birthday."
"Library!"
I forgot.
As a birthday present, my grandfather told me how about the library, and that's great, but I told him to ask for a request later.
So I thought my birthday gift ended with it.
I need to use the favor soon!
Couldn't it be replaced by this one?
I got nervous, so I quickly asked.
"Grandpa, but I got something else"
"You take this too. This grandfather gives you because you like the book. Besides, don't you need a suitable place to have an in-depth class with Clerivan?"
"In-depth class?"
Shananet asked, looking at me and my grandfather alternately.
"Haha, yes! A while ago, Clerivan came and said, 'Our Florentia is so smart that she is ready for more difficult classes."
"That's great!"
Shananet stroked my head, rejoicing like his job.
"This library is only for you to use. So read a lot and learn a lot, Florentia."
"Thank you! I love it, Grandpa!"
I'm on purpose!
I screamed and hugged my grandfather's neck.
"This girl, heh heh heh!"
My grandfather seemed a little surprised, but soon patted me on my back and enjoyed the cuteness of his granddaughter.
It was truly a gift I received at the perfect timing.
I held the key tightly in both hands, hugged it against my chest, and shouted out loud.
"I will learn a lot from the library that was given to me as a gift, so I'll quickly become a great person!"1
* * *
After having breakfast and seeing my father off at the front door, I hurriedly grabbed the library keys and moved. When I first heard where the library was, I had to tilt my head.
"It's near my grandfather's office?"
"Yes, young lady. You can go there."
It was a gift to me, so I thought maybe it would be around the place where my father and I were staying.
"Why are there......."
"I do not know. It was decided by the Lord... ."
Well, the gift is the heart of the giver.
Excitingly, I headed to the floor where the grandfather's office was located.
My library was across two rooms from my grandfather's office.
And the moment I arrived, I could see why my library was set up near the office.
"Are you here, Miss Florentia."
Lombardy's knight, who was guarding my grandfather's office, looked at me and pretended to know me.
Probably, the security personnel guarding the office seemed to be restricting access to my library as well.
As my grandfather said, this library is a space that can only be used by me.
I nodded politely, then carefully inserted the key into the door and turned it.
Sweet.
The door opened with a small crackling sound.
It was a small space compared to the public library that everyone in the mansion could use, but there were quite a few books at a glance.
Except for the window, all three walls were filled with books, so it was quite cozy.
I closed the door behind my back and stepped step by step and stood in front of the window.
"I miss you."
I slowly swept the wall by the window.
Also, I looked around inside the library.
"We meet again like this."
It was very scary that it was a coincidence.
This room, which is now my own library, was my office in my previous life when I helped my grandfather to do office work.
I whispered a little while looking at the inside, which was a little different from the memory but still comforting.
"I'll be happy again this time."
At that time, I heard a small knock.
"Come in."
The door opened to my answer, and Clerivan came in.+
"I have received a message, young lady."
Before coming here, I moved to the place of the in-depth class through a butler.
Clerivan had a thick book on one side as if he had really come to teach me.
The thoroughness of caring for other people's eyes was so clear that I said with a smile.
"Then shall we start class, sir?"
