In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 183

Chapter 183

Lord of Lombardy's office.
"Go get Tia."
Lulak's words crossed Gillard Brown's face.
It was because he didn't understand of him calling his granddaughter, not his daughter, Shannanet.
Seeing that such a question appeared on his face, Lulak asked.
"Is it strange that I suddenly called my granddaughter?"
"No, it's not like that..."
"Wait and see. Soon you'll know why I called the kid."
Lulak laughed as if he was having fun.
After a while, a woman came in with a small knock.
She was an impressive woman with long curved brown hair and large green eyes.
And the moment he met her eyes.
Gillard Brown could see the meaning of what the Lord of Lombardy said a while ago.
Her eyes were so intense enough to make him avoid her gaze without knowing it.
It was an overbearing feeling as if dealing with the Lord of Lombardy.
And that's not the end of his surprise.
"Ohohoho, is Tia here?"
Lulak, who had been exuding momentum like a wild beast until a while ago, has become unstoppable.
Is this really the Lord of Lombardy?
Gillard Brown's jaw dropped at the sight of Lulak's eyes dripping with affection.
"Come on, sit down."
Does his granddaughter even have a leg ache?
Lulak quickly pointed to the fluffy sofa and said.
And before sitting down, she looked at Gillard Brown and greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Lord Brown. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, hello, Lady Lombardy."
It was even before he introduced himself, so Gillard Brown greeted each other in a little embarrassment.
It was a strange thing.
He's sure that the Lady is still young.
However, it was very difficult to deal with.
"I'm sure Tia knows something about the Brown family. And today, the Lord of Brown asked Lombardy for help."
"The Lord made a good choice."
At Lulak's words, Tia said calmly.
There was no sign of surprise.
Lulak quietly swallowed a smile at the sight.
And said it like a throw.
"I will leave the Brown family's matters to you, Tia."
"Elder?"
The Lord of Brown was surprised and called my grandfather.
But I didn't look back on it.
I'm sorry, but it wasn't the Lord of Brown's mood that mattered to me.
My grandfather was staring at me.
The fate of a family.
It is to observe how I react to the enormous task thrown out of nowhere."Yes, I understand."

I answered calmly.
Then grandfather's eyebrows moved small.
My grandfather was rather surprised because I wasn't surprised.
Grandpa, how do you think of me?
"Khumm."
I covered my mouth with my rolled hands and coughed softly.
Otherwise, I thought I'd burst into laughter.
I can see why my grandfather gave me the task of Brown's family without having to think twice.
It's the beginning of my test.
A test to prove that I have the qualities to be a Matriarch.
I looked at the Lord of Brown, who was still stunned.
He was once a swordsman with a promising future, but his right hand was cut off and he has lived as a commoner.
Therefore, there is no aristocratic aspect from any perspective, such as slightly curved shoulders and unconfident eyes.
If I introduce him to the aristocratic society again, they will be eaten quickly by the aristocrats who are waiting for red meat, leaving only bones.
Until the Browns successfully reinstated and became the representative family of the West again.
The most important thing is public opinion.
It will be more difficult than you might think to get the nobles, full of privileged consciousness, to accept the family that once became a commoner as a member of the aristocratic society again.
However.
"Lord Brown."
"...Please tell me, Lady Lombardy."
His good eyes are full of anxiety.
He doesn't believe me yet.
I wasn't offended.
It's a matter of course.
"As long as my grandfather left the Brown family to me, I will do my best to help the Lord. But you have to remember one thing."
I said with a smile to the Lord of Brown.
"Always raise your head. Straighten your shoulders. And now you're a householder worthy of the name of the Brown family name."
His blue eyes, similar to Ramona, shook for a moment.
But the silence was not long.
A moment later, Gillard Brown replied.
"Thanks for your help, Lady Lombardy."
It was still awkward, but his eyes and voice were quite different from before.
I like it very much.
I smiled face to face and answered.
"Don't mention it, Lord Brown."

Empress Rabini, Clerivan, and Duigi Angenas sat in one place at the Empress's Palace.
"You can stamp your family seal here."
Clerivan said and pointed to a corner of the paper on the table.
The words of Florentia were true.
Today was the day to write a formal contract because things went smoothly after putting a connection in the Pellet Corporation.
Debt to Lombardy is now gone and Pellet Corporation took the bonds.
With little interest, it was just a nail-sized land in the western corner as collateral.
Besides, contrary to what was said, she liked the man, Clerivan Pellet.
It was especially so that he kept manners like a sword, not only for his beautiful appearance but also for a merchant.
"I must have misunderstood Pellet Corporation."
Empress Rabini smiled with satisfaction.
She thought Pellet Corporation was on Lombardy's side.
But after seeing the contract he brought today, Empress Rabini was convinced.
Pellet Corporation wants to build a bridge in Angenas, too.
"If it's a misunderstanding..."
"I thought that Pellet Corporation had such a close relationship with Lombardy that he would not do business with Angenas."
Rabini answered out of the blue on purpose.
When the Empress said that, He tends to panic most of the time.
"And the other day, there was Triva woodwork."
She even brought up the past on purpose.
"It's true that the Pellet Corporation has received a lot of Lombardy's help to get this far. But we can't stay in Lombardy forever. Also, the work of the Triva tree was very different from my will."
Also.
At the words of Clerivan, the Empress smiled inwardly.
"It's all in the past, so I don't care."
"Thank you, Empress."
Rabini nodded and pulled out the family seal.
"Then we'll wrap up the contract..."
"Oh, wait."
But the Clerivan suddenly stopped the Empress.
"The Lord of Angenas must be the one who put stamp here."
The Empress's face hardened coldly.
But Clerivan did not back down.
"I'm sorry, Empress. However, the seal is effective only when it is imprinted by the state."
"...Yes."
The Empress handed over the seal of the Angenas family to Duigi with a cold look.
"You do it."
"Hum."
Duigi Angenas accepted the seal with a slightly embarrassing yet smiling face.
"Should I stamp it here?"
"Yes, that's right. Lord Angenas."
Duigi pressed the seal and took it.
He smiled slightly because it looked good that the pattern of Angenas came out clearly and upright.
"So that's it."
Clerivan took his share of the contract and bowed deeply to the Empress.
"I look forward to seeing you again, Empress."
Then he looked back at Duigi Angenas and said.
"It's my first time to visit the Imperial Palace. If you are okay, would you please show me the way out?"
At Clerivan's request, Duigi nodded, albeit slightly surprised.
It was because he liked him quite a bit.
"I'm on my way out, so I'll accompany you."
The two walked down the hall, leaving the Empress.
Then, when they were halfway there.
Clerivan, who was briefly taking out the contract that came out, said in surprise.
"Oh, my!"
"Why? What's going on?"
"I wrote the wrong date on the contract by mistake. If you look here, the contract date is incorrectly written as last year."
"Even so. Does that matter?"
"Yes, this will make the contract ineffective under Imperial Law. I can't fix the date on my own..."
"Oh, my God..."
Duigi Angenas, who had been flicking his tongue, said, pointing to the path he had taken.
"Then let's go back now and tell the Empress..."
"No, you don't have to."
Clerivan shook his hand and said.
"Without bothering the Empress, I will visit the Angenas tomorrow with a new contract."1
"Ha, but."
Duigi Angenas showed signs of difficulty.
"To sign a contract without the Empress..."
But Clerivan shrugged and said.
"In fact, it doesn't matter with or without the Empress."
"It's not an important issue?"
"I came to the Palace today just for courtesy sake. It is the Angenas family that Pellet Corporation is signing, not the Empress."
"Such..."
Duigi nodded inwardly as he stretched his word.
That's right.
Angenas is not his sister, but he is.
Then Clerivan snapped at him.
"Under Imperial law, the Empress has no right to the Angenas family."
At the moment, it was a very brief moment in the eyes of Duigi Angenas that something crossed his mind.
Then he burst into laughter and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah. Then come to the mansion tomorrow. I'll rewrite the contract."
"Yes, I am ashamed to bother you with my mistakes."
Clerivan's mouth, with his head bowed, had a quiet smile.
