In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 67

Chapter 67

"Miss. Florentia......"
Estira hugged me tightly.
"I was very surprised to receive the letter."
It has been a long time since I saw Estira, tears rolled down around her eyes, which have become more mature.
"So, researching Tlenbrew's cure......"
Estira muttered as if she noticed it, but when she saw the two brothers and sister, Clerivan and Louryl standing behind me, she quickly shut up.
She was worried that a strict person would know the inside story.
"Greetings, Estira."
I said, pointing to the people behind me.
"It's Clerivan and Louryl."
"This is the first time I see you. I am Louryl Dillard."
"Eh, I am Estira."
When Louryl, who is my maid, but with an aristocratic sense, greets her politely, Estira doesn't know what to do.
Then Clerivan greeted Estira.2
"It's been a while, Miss Estira."
Estira also lived in Lombardy's mansion, so she was acquainted with Clerivan.
But that was Clerivan as my teacher.
Not as a person of Florentia.
"It's okay, you can talk comfortably in front of these two people."
"Yes......"
Even though she nodded, Estira still looked awkward. When I see them glanced at each other.
First I led them to the guest room prepared for Estira.
"Well, I don't need a luxurious room like this, Miss!"
"No. Estira is my guest. And I have prepared a separate lab. I was planning to arrange it near Dr. O'Malley's lab, but I just made it in the annex. It's okay?"
"Yeah...... Thank you."
Estira looking unfamiliarly at the luxurious guest room.
"I want Estira to take care of my father until his condition gets better."
Estira's eyes changed at my words and nodded firmly.
From the moment I saw Estira, I kept thinking about the question I wanted to ask.
"So.......how's your research going?"
We have been exchanging letters from time to time and have been aware of the approximate progress.
Finally, Estira's letter contained concerns about the proportion of medicines.
And after receiving my letter announcing my father's outbreak, Estira wrote that she was leaving the academy immediately.
A whole week after that.
I only hoped Estira was coming with the cure.
"Did you make the medicine?"
Instead of answering, Estira opened her cherished bag and rummaged inside.
With clenched fists, I felt that the waiting time was endless.
"Here you go, Miss."
Estira was holding a dark green liquid in a small glass bottle.
"This is......."
"Yes, it's the most effective combination I've ever found."
"Sigh......."
With a short sigh, my body staggered."Miss. Florentia!"

"Miss!"
If it weren't for Clerivan who caught me fast, I would have fallen in there.
"Are you all right?"
Clerivan asked in a worried voice.
I muttered to such a Clerivan without time to answer.
"Fortunately......."
I'm so glad there's a cure.
I'm afraid.
Even though it was a future that I already knew.
I was so afraid I'd lose my father again.
"Miss......."
Louryl calms my trembling shoulders.
"It's not complete yet. We need to give Gallahan-nim a dose first."
"How long will it take? Until the medicine works."
"We'll know in two days."
"You must be tired, but can you meet my father now?"
"Of course, Miss."
Estira happily said and packed some medicine and books together.
* * *
"No! No!"
"Whoa."
It's made me frustrating.
Hearing the words Dr. O'Malley shouted, I eventually sighed.1
This is how things started.
When I took Estira to my father.
Just in time, my grandfather was visiting with Dr. O'Malley to treat my father's indigestion.
It was a kind of complication that came as the amount of activity decreased sharply.
Dr. O'Malley, who saw Estira, immediately changed his face.
After a year later, that bad feeling didn't seem to go away.
And when I explained the situation and Estira pulled out a vial, Dr. O'Malley went off like that.
"Unverified drugs! And a medicine made by a young novice!"1
Dr. O'Malley shouted.
"How can you give it to Gallahan-nim?"
Maybe he realized where he was now, his voice had gotten smaller, but Dr. O'Malley was still angry.
"Noisy, Doctor."
Eventually, I heard a word from my grandfather who frowned.
"Ha, but, Lord. This is really dangerous."
Dr. O'Malley said, turning his head and staring at Estira.
"Did you say your name Estira?"
"Yes, Estira, who, by the grace of the Lombardy family, is researching at the Academy, Lord."
"So it just so happens that what you've been working on at the Academy is Tlenbrew's medicine?"
Luckily.
Grandpa's sharp eyes turned to Estira.
"Yes, it is. In fact, when I was studying other diseases, I found that the combination I created was finally effective in Tlenbrew."
"But Gallahan just happened to have Tlenbrew disease."
"I heard a story about the illness in a letter sent by Miss Florentia. How can I remain silent, for Lombardy?"
Estira responded nicely, but my grandfather kept looking at her.
"Thank you for coming a long way."
Breaking the tense atmosphere, my father said.
"What is the medicine made of?"
"The main ingredient is a medicinal herb called 'Ro/Rozen', and it is a medicine that is a mixture of several medicinal herbs. Here is a list."
Estira looked at the list without hesitation, and my father read it.
He read many books and was educated, so he had a good knowledge of herbal medicine.
"There are a lot of herbal names that I've never seen before."
"If you look for them in this book here...... "
"If possible, can I borrow that book for the day?"
"Oh, yes."
At the request of my father, Estira nodded.
My father put the book aside and said calmly.
"Actually, from this morning, my left foot feels weird. Perhaps......"
"Hmm."
My grandfather spilled his voice.
"So, at the moment when my heart became impatient, I heard this news......"
My father looked at the small vial.
"No!"
Dr. O'Malley shouted and intervened.
"For the sake of Gallahan-nim's comfort, I can never condone as my doctor!"2
He held it for my father's safety, but why could I see the fear on the doctor's face?
Why does he seem worried that he will lose his place?
Despite all kinds of humiliation, Estira remained calm.
She showed everything she had and stood back so my father could make a choice.
"Medicine from a pharmacist who hasn't even been properly trained! It's Dangerous!"2
The doctor was pointing a finger at Estira.
"Trust me, and it's wise to treat the symptoms slowly!"
The beating in my chest was loud.
Then my father looked at me.
As if to ask for my opinion.
"It's not like there's any other medicine anyway."
Everyone looked at me at my words.
"I mean, I want you to trust Estira's medicine."
I know this medicine is the only cure for my father's illness.
But I didn't push ahead from the beginning because I wanted to make sure my father was willing to try the medicine.
"Okay, let's do that."
My father's worries were not long.
"Please, Estira."
"I'll do my best, Gallahan-nim."
Estira bent down deeply.
"This is a ridiculous decision! You'll regret it!"2
Dr. O'Malley slammed the door and walked away.
And that day, my father drank the first cure.
* * *
"What do you mean now? What do you mean the cure doesn't work?"1
I can't believe my ears.
What?
"......It's not exactly ineffective, but it's only half as effective as it's intended."
Estira said with her eyes closed.
"I'm sorry, Miss......."
"No way... No way......."
You can't do that.1
Estira is definitely the one who made the cure, so my father who took it should get better.
"How come......."
And at that moment the alarm rang in my head.
Estira's medicine may be different from that one of my previous life.
Evidently, Estira is younger and has less research experience than she was then.
So much has changed.
I can't see anything clear yet.
That's when I stared blankly at one place.
Beep.
The door opened and Clerivan jumped in.
"Angenas copied the ready-to-wear business!"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Angenas is trying to get approval from his Majesty the Emperor to run a ready-to-wear business in the form of a clothing store in the West!"
"The crazy ones......"
The ready-to-wear business was currently settled down as a specific description of our Gallahan's clothing store.
There is no patent, but it was a business of Gallahan Lombardy, guaranteed by the Emperor because my father was awarded the Founding Medal for ready-made clothes.
Knowing that well, Angenas is also trying to get permission from the Emperor.
"Being greedy and not knowing that your place, you'll be torn"
The ready-to-wear business at Gallahan Clothing Store was not simply created by my father's skills.
It was the result of the Lombardy family's top, textile, and personal connections.
Angenas can never handle it.
"Clerivan, right now... ... "
When I was just about to give Clerivan instructions, the door opened again with a loud noise.
"Tia!"
"Tia!"
They were Shananet's twins.
They rush to me and hugs me tightly, but my face is all messed up with tears and a runny nose.
"Why are you two?"+
"Hey, I heard it. Gallahan-nim......"
"It's Tlenbrew's disease..."
My father's illness is a secret that no one knows except for those very close and Dr. O'Malley.
I asked, grasping the twin's shoulders.
"Where did you hear that?"
"There was a rumor in the mansion."
"We heard the maids say."
Damn it.
If employees make a fuss, it means everyone in the mansion already knows.
