In This Life, I Will Be The Lord Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The first thing I took out of the gift bag was a thick autumn and winter cloak.

It had a similar design to the black cloak worn by adult Perez.

Once I roughly brushed off the dust, I wrapped it around Perez's neck.

He moved his red eyes and watched the thick cloak clung to his shoulders.

"Well, it suits you well."

So there was a reason why he wore only that, I thought it was school uniform.

Perez's black hair and flawless skin stood out more than her cloak with colorful patterns.

"Don't go cold and dress well."

I watched Perez, wearing the cloak that I gave, and took out a second gift.

It was a wooden sword.

“Ugh, it’s heavy.”

My both arms are overwhelming by it.

"I know you already have a wooden sword, but the last time I saw it, it seemed too light for you. So I brought it."

In fact, it is more accurate to say that the twins have thrown it away.

Perez doesn't need to know the details.

"Look at it once."

At my words, Perez held a wooden sword in one hand and swung it briefly.

Hoowook!

The sound of cutting through the wind was different because there was a very heavy and thick iron core embedded in the wooden sword.

"Ah."

The eyes of the indifferent guy turned around.

"How do you like it?"

"......Huh."

“Then take this as well.”

What I took out of my bag was a swordsmans.h.i.+p book.

Perez, who received a book covered in tough leather, read aloud the t.i.tle on the cover.

"Brown Swordsmans.h.i.+p?"

"Right. It's not 'Imperial Swordsmans.h.i.+p Book', but 'Brown Swordsmans.h.i.+p Book'!

Perez seems doesn't know the difference between the two.

This is why it is not worth giving a luxury product.

I eventually had to explain it myself.

"It's actually similar to 'Imperial Swordsmans.h.i.+p'. What was once called 'Brown Swordsmans.h.i.+p' is now generally called 'Imperial Swordsmans.h.i.+p'. But doesn't this look a little old?"

"Yes, it is.

"Then what does it mean?"

“Is this really a book with 'Brown Swordsmans.h.i.+p' written on it?”

"Yeah! That's right! Even the former Brown Lord directly revised and reorganized this!"

It was unexpected luck that this book came into my hands.

I immediately thought of Perez when I found it stuck in a room corner my grandfather had made for me.

This original Brown Swordsmans.h.i.+p is the perfect gift for him.

Unlike me, who was so excited, he still looked down at the book in his hand again with a calm face.

“By the way, it may be a little disappointing, but it's not yours.”

"Then?"

"For now, you can read the book as you wish. But someone might ask for it later. Then you have to give it."

"....Nope."

"What?"

No matter what I said or did, he nodded and said okay, but this is the first time he didn't.

I was a little embarra.s.sed and asked again.

Perez looked at my surprised face for a moment with eyes slightly covered with black bangs, then replied with his gaze lowered.

“……… Okay. I'll give it."

What was that, I was surprised.

But well, it means that you liked the book that much.

I added words to comfort him.

"I'll find a better one later. Don't be too sad."

Are you listening to me or not?

Perez's little finger squeezed the corner of the book.

Somehow, my conscience is stabbed.

It seems like I became a bad adult who gave a toy to a child and took it away.

"Okay, will you give me a better book later?"

But I didn't have an answer. I just nod my head. He is easily spoiled by something like this.

When I recall the future of Perez, who was blowing so fast that a single needle could not fit in, I felt a cute feeling because I was still young.

This is all for you, the prince of the future.

I searched inside my bag, thinking of trying to understand his deep heart.

Somehow, I need something to relieve Perez's anger.

“Okay, here!”

What I popped out was a bottle full of candy, like the one I gave with the Melcon medicine last time.

The appearance of colored round candy in a transparent gla.s.s bottle was a good one to see.

"Oh, this. Sweet."

Perez's interest, who has embraced the book as if he didn't want it to be taken away, finally moved to something else.

After all, a child is a child.

I deliberately shook the bottle to make a sound and hand it over Perez's hand.

"Do you like sweets?"

"It's not the original, but I like this"

"Then, would you like something sweeter and more delicious?"

"Anything sweeter and more delicious?"

I managed to get Perez's attention, then pulled a small box out of my bag.

Always on the table in my study room and my living room.

"It's a chocolate cookie!"

"Chocolate?"

Perez looked at the black thing stuck in a savory cookie.

"Have you ever eaten this?"

I already knew from Estira that chocolate is not a common food yet.

I picked up a chocolate cookie the size of my palm and gave it to Perez.

“Try it!”

The guy who hesitated for a while at my words bite the chocolate cookie.

"It's delicious."

"Right? Look at this. I brought this much to you to eat!"

It's chocolate that others haven't even seen in a lifetime, but in my house, it was like a tissue stocked in every s.p.a.ce.

I collected and brought all the things in my room, living room, and so on, so there would be more than thirty snacks.

"I should eat one too. Oh, I'm hungry."

After holding one more to Perez' other hand, I bite a little of a cookie.

The sticky yet crazy sweet taste spreads in my mouth, so I think I'll eat a little more.

"I can't eat breakfast and move from dawn. Aham, I'm sleepy."

Honestly, I don't really know what the cookie tastes other than 'sweet'.

I roughly pushed it into my mouth and slumped on my side.

Perez, who had finished one and was about to eat the other, looked at me.

"Ha-am. I don't mind, eat. I need to sleep."

I feel tired and sleepy, and I fall asleep.

I looked at Perez eating a cookie while lifting my increasingly heavier eyelids a few times.

I can see a piece of chocolate in his mouth.

I wanted to tell him to wipe it, but I was falling asleep without even knowing.

He was like a rabbit when he staring his red eyes at me lying down and yawn my mouth.

It was funny that such a cute kid would later become such a cold prince.

However, it was a good thing that he didn't have to suffer anymore.

I thought while looking at the red eyes that were still staring at me.

Still, I've done this much, but will he pretend not to know it completely later.

At least, when I try to become the Lord of Lombardy after he becoming a prince, he will not be a hindrance right.

Yes, that's it.

That's when the time to close my eyes becomes longer than the time I open my eyes.

I could see Perez slumping across from me.

You are also tired.

Well, the sun has just risen.

It's too early for a child to get up and move.

Sleep a little and wake up.

The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was Perez's white face looking at me with a cookie buried in his mouth.

* * *

"What should I do?"

Asked the voice softly.

“Both of you are sleeping so well……….”

Then the other responded in a similar voice.

"Once, you guys go downstairs and grab your Majesty's goods."

At the quiet command, the light steps of several people began to move.

"By the way, if you have talent, they're cute enough to make it as a picture."

As if he didn't know what to do, it was Kylus Herring, a servant of the Imperial Palace, who spoke with his mouth.

With dark blond hair and friendly blue eyes, Kylus was the second son of the Herring family, one of Lombardy's va.s.sal families.

He was a young man who has been joining the Imperial Palace for 10 years now, but he was already an elite among the elite qualified as a first-cla.s.s servant.

And it was Caitlyn Brown, the deputy chief of the Imperial Palace, who looked at the bed with affectionate eyes as well.

However, the two changed their affiliations just an hour ago.

It was the Second Imperial Palace where they were commanded and they were willing to move their enemies. (Sorry I don't know the right translation)

"I will let them sleep for a while. I also need time to clear up the 1st floors."

"Yes. I heard a lot about Gallahan's daughter, but it's my first time seeing him. So is he the 2nd Prince?"

Originally, Kylus, who likes children, couldn't take his eyes off.

"But how can this be so cute, both of you."

It was a little fuss, but Caitlyn agreed with Kylus.

The two children lying facing each other on a bed full of sweets and fell asleep without knowing the world.3

Both Florentia, with curly brown hair, and Perez, with hair that is somewhat bushy but black like the night sky, both had very cute looks that anyone could look at once again.

What's more, the cutest thing to dig into the heart of Kylus and Caitlyn was that the two children were covered in one black cloak together.1

"I have to cover it up a little bit more properly …."

In case the children would wake up, Kylus, who tried to wrap the robe back, saw something and shut his mouth again.

When Caitlyn was curious, she saw Perez's hand holding Florentia's little hand tightly under the cloak.30

"Boo…."

Already, Kylus closed his eyes so as not to make a loud sound like someone who was badly injured.

It was because of the excessive cuteness that suddenly came in, causing an overload.2

After taking a few deep breaths in that state, Kylus tried to put the cloak back on Florentia's shoulders.

Widely.

If it weren't for Perez's strong strength holding his arm like that.

"The 2nd Prince..."

Perez, who had been sleeping a little while ago, had his eyes opened and held firmly on Kylus's wrist.

"Who is it."

"Oh, that's me...."

Kylus lost his words to the hand squeezing his wrist.

Isn't that a kid who just turned eleven years old?

But what is this power?4

Instead of embarra.s.sed Kylus, Caitlyn said in a calm voice.

“Good to meet you, His Majesty the Prince. We are the ones who will be with His Majesty the Prince from today. My name is Caitlyn Brown."+

“Well, this is Kylus, Kylus Herring, His Majesty the Prince.”

Kylus barely answered.

However, the alertness did not disappear from Perez's face.

It was then.

"Woo"

Florentia slowly awakened and making a small sound.
