In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 73

Chapter 73

My eleventh birthday party started.1
Lombardy's banquet hall was full of guests.
It was quite a big birthday party than my eighth birthday party, it's like doubled from before.
the difference is, my grandfather deliberately invited people at that time, but this time, the party naturally grew bigger because many people wanted to come.
It was all my father and grandfather's guests, but I didn't mind.
"Oh! Lady Florentia Lombardy!"
"Is that dress coming in limited edition?"
"Happy birthday, Lady! You're so pretty today!"
The number of people who recognize me has increased.
"Hello, thank you for coming!"
Smiling gently at them, I looked around the banquet hall.
A large fountain flows in the garden attached to the banquet hall.
And next to it, I saw my father talking briskly with others.
"Hahaha! That's a brilliant idea!"
Now, He was more active than before he got sick.
Green eyes sparkle when he sees the person he is talking to.
He seemed very good at dealing with people with a relaxed smile.
Maybe that's why there were so many people next to my father.
Everyone seemed to listen to my father's words, jokes, and story.
"Happy birthday!"
"Wow!"
Suddenly, something white and fluffy popped out from the side of my face.
"Gilliu, Mayron! You guys scared me!"3
They were twins playing with a big white teddy bear.
"Hehe."
"What are you surprised about, Tia?"
Now that they have entered a period of full growth, both of them are growing fast by the day.
"Long time no see. Hasn't it been a month since you came back here?"
"Yeah, that right."
"I was bored to death."
For the past month, the two have been on the Schultz estate.
It was to spend time with their father, Vestian, for a vacation.
"There's nothing around."
"And the unpleasant atmosphere."
"We're in a terrible mood."
The twins answered my question at the same time.
"I thought my father was a strict person, but he wasn't."
"My father was very docile compared to his relatives."
"No way, really."
"Especially at mealtime, there's a clatter of dish plates."
There were ten of us eating together.
"I was suffocating."
Maybe there was a lot of stuff piled up, but the two spat out complaints nonstop.
"If it was so hard, you should have come back halfway. You don't have to stay for a month."
The Schultz mansion wasn't that far away anyway.Not long ago, the twins turned 15 years old, they were easy to move in a carriage.1

But Gilliu and Mayron's reaction was a little strange.
They sneak up on each other, then turn their backs.
"Come on, get your birthday present!"
It's a bear, especially from the Schultz estate!
"Hmm."
It's very suspicious, but I'll let them fool me.
I accepted the teddy bear.
It's soft and fluffy, but it's not that impressive.
They're not a twin who doesn't know me because I'm not interested in dolls.
Why did they give this gift?
While I was still staring at the teddy bear, Mayron asked in a mischievous voice.
"What do you think? Do you like a teddy bear?"
"Yes, well...... thanks."
But I'm not a rude person enough to complain about what you gave me as a gift.
But Gilliu tapped Mayron on the shoulder and said.
"Look, Tia wouldn't say anything! She's too nice for that."
"Oh, I thought you'd throw away the teddy bear! You're too nice, Tia!"
Gilliu grinned and Mayron held his head in regret.
I think they made a bet over my reaction to the teddy bear.
Mayron sighed and said.
"Tia, if you don't like something, you should say no. You always think too much about other people."
Did I?
What do I do?
"You're too nice."
Now Gilliu joined.
"This not our gift!"
"You have to look forward to something bigger!"
"What's bigger?"
They don't answer my question, they just smile.
"What does Tia want?"
"Me?"
If you ask me to tell you what I want, I can stay up all night.
But I looked at my father who was having a pleasant conversation with people around him.
"I don't think I can hope for more today."1
It's because my father was still alive on my 11th birthday.
Different from my previous life which I spent alone, for me it was enough to have a fun birthday party today.
"You can't do that!"
Mayron patted my head slightly and laughed.
"I'll buy you a real present soon, so let's go out with us."
"Yes, there are quite a few interesting places in downtown Lombardy."
"But it's dangerous for Tia to go out alone, so be sure to join us!"
How do you know I'm going to walk around alone often from now on?
"Tia?"
Mayron squinted and called me.
Oh, right.
They had a sharp sense.
I nodded quickly.
"Just in case, you should never go around alone."
Gilliu told me, pretending to be quite an old cousin.
"How are you guys??"
A quiet voice asked the twins.
"Hello, Larane."
"Happy birthday, Tia. I put my present over there with other presents. Tia is so pretty!."
"Thank you, I'll use it well!"
"And Gilliu, Mayron. I don't think they're the two people who can give Tia that advice."
Larane said comfortably.
"No, why not?"
"Who are the people who don't know that they are stuck in a mansion in the meadow for months from the day after the 11th birthday party?"
"Huh..."
The twins failed to refute Larane, though they did not speak loudly or reproachfully.
I changed the subject of the conversation with a smile.
"Larane is getting prettier and prettier. I'm so jealous."
It's not an empty word.
With only two years left of adulthood now, Larane is truly blooming day by day.
Just now, men of my age at my birthday party couldn't take their eyes off Larane.
They must have fallen in love with Larane when their ears turned red.
She like a pure lily.
She was so pure and fragile that people were scared to see, so they wanted to protect her at the same time.
"People around me keep saying that... I really don't know."
Larane's white face turned red.
Lombardy is usually immune to this compliment.
This was obviously a matter of innate character.
"But I'm glad Tia said that. Tia is getting prettier."
"Right! Tia is the best!"
A small face popped out from behind Larane.
It was Crane, Astalliu's 7-year-old younger brother, with red beet-like hair and a freckled face.2
After hiding bush and eavesdropping on my conversation with Perez, Crane had somehow become my fan.4
"Tia is the best!"
Crane rushed in and hugged my waist.
And looked up with clear eyes that seemed to shake hearts.
"Crane, you can't do that to Tia. We have guests here."
Larane gently admonished Crane and kept him away from me.
"Wow... But Tia is busy, so I've only seen her for a week today as well."
Strangely I'm used to faces with open eyes.
I've seen that face before.
But next to Crane, the twins started to grumble together.
"Right, Tia's too busy these days."
"You're in your study every day. I can't even see your face."
Oh, it was you guys.
I thought I'd seen it somewhere, and suddenly he's like a twin who was following me around.
Sighing inwardly, I said to Crane.
"Crane, are you reading a book a week as you promised?"
"Yes, I read all the books Tia lent me. Can I borrow it again?"
"All right, I'll allow you to come to my study to borrow books from now on."
"Wow, I'm excited! I'm going to read a lot!"
First of all, early education is the best.
I patted Crane on the head.
Crane was incredibly bright its nonsense that he was Astalliu's brother, who seemed to have his head full of muscles.1
Before returning, the last news I heard was that Crane quite prominent since joining the Imperial Academy.
When he was young, I felt sorry that he could have entered the academy more prepared if he hadn't wasted his time with Viese.
But in this time Crane started to follow me rather than his brother Astalliu, and now I decided to help Crane a little bit.
I'm thinking of changing the future of strangers, but there's no reason to pretend not to know Crane, who's a cousin and follows me well.
When I pat him on the head, his smiling face is quite cute.
And then I looked up.
"Huh?"
A boy who passed me was seen walking without knowing that he had dropped his handkerchief.
"Hey!"
A boy turned around at my call.
"You dropped this."
The boy, who looked about the same age as the twins, alternately looked at his handkerchief and turned red.3
"Tha, thank you. Lady Florentia Lombardy."
Some of the kids who were interested in Larane just said that, and he's turning red.
I held out his handkerchief with a grin, 'relax, I don't bite.'.
And mine and the boy's fingertips slightly crossed.
"Oops!"
Surprised, the boy missed his handkerchief and was chasing it with his own eyes when it fell on the floor.
A hand that appeared from somewhere grabbed a white handkerchief.
It was an unusual rough hand among the nobles, with a lot of calluses.
"Here you go."
Deep red eyes and darker black hair under the sun.
"Hi, Tia."1
It was Perez.
