CH 112
TLS : Shenks
Perez has left for the Academy.
It was a few days ago.
Except that there is no reason for me to go to the palace anymore, my daily life has not changed much.
It was a series of days where I took care of Pellet’s business and sometimes stopped by my grandfather’s office to check if he was taking medicine well and ate together.
My father was away on a business trip to check the additional clothing branch in the South.
My father was away, and the twins are busy training.
Having already been to Pellet in the morning, I was on my way to the office to have lunch with my grandfather.
Larane, who was supposed to eat together with me, decided to meet at the restaurant.
I think I’m a little bored without Perez…….
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, that morning came to mind.
“It’s because he has a pretty face!”
Oh, I don’t think so.
Perez is smart, uses swords well, and has a nice personality.
Anyway, that day I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even scold him and just let it go.
“The next time I see you, I’ll give you a spanking.”3
I’m going to give it to you hard.3
If you misbehave with that pretty face, the empire will probably go berserk.
As I walked with that thought, I was in front of the office.
knock, knock
I knocked but strangely there was no answer. I’m sure he know I’m coming.
I tapped again, but there was no word.
by any chance
At the moment, my heart sank.
“Grandpa?”
I knew it was rude, but I opened the office door.
And as soon as I got inside, I could find my grandfather reading something in front of the desk.
Oh, thank God.
I swept my chest down inside.
“Grandpa, are you busy?”
I stood in the doorway and called one more time, and my grandfather was surprised and took his eyes off the paper.
“Oh, Tia’s here. What are you doing there without coming in? Come here.”
Fortunately, my grandfather didn’t seem to care much about me opening the door without permission.
“Are you very busy?”
“Hmm. I’ve been feeling a little bit of that lately.”
grandfather replied, smiling but pressing hard around his eyes.
“Does your eyes hurt?”
“Huh? It’s nothing. When you reach grandfather’s age, your eyes become dim. I don’t know about little Tia yet.”
Grandfather said so and patted my head.
But I carefully examined my grandfather’s complexion. I’m glad if it’s just presbyopia.
In my previous life, my grandfather was the first to lose sight due to the aftereffects of the disease.
Knowing that, I can’t just laugh like my grandfather.
“Did you have breakfast, grandpa?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Not roughly, but properly?”
Grandpa pats his short beard and avoids my gaze.
“So you didn’t take the nutritional supplements Estira gave you?”
“I was thinking about having lunch and eating.”
Phew.
I felt like sighing.
At times like this, it is frustrating that I am the only one who knows the future.
When I put on a glum face, my grandfather began to sweat.
“Until yesterday, I’ve been eating everything, Tia. So don’t be so upset…….”
“I’m not upset that you didn’t take the nutritional supplements. No, that’s right, but…….”
“But what?”
Grandfather looked into my face anxiously and asked.
“It’s sad that my grandfather has to work so hard. I wish there was someone who could help you relax a little.”
There were many people who maintained a household position until they were as old as grandfather.
But usually they had the heir next to them to help. .
It is to learn how to lead the family step by step by helping them with their work.
But my grandfather still took care of everything by himself.
It was because Viese was constantly trying to help him, but my grandfather had not allowed it yet.
So as the year goes by, the burden on my grandfather is increasing.
In his previous life, it was long after that my grandfather reluctantly began to teach Viese about the family’s work.
Perhaps until then, grandfather was waiting for someone to stand out, not Viese, to lead this family.
However, even after finally winning grandfather’s trust, Viese’s ability was not enough.
That’s why I had to work next to my grandfather like a secretary and fill the void of what Viese did.
“I didn’t know that our Tia gives so much thought about her grandfather. Oh, pretty girl.”
Grandfather, who didn’t know what was inside my mind, just patted my head with a happy face.
The benevolent smile overlapped with the old man’s face I saw in my previous life, so I was a little emotional.
Don’t worry, grandpa.

I’ll ease your burden when I grow up.
“Grandpa, let’s go have lunch!”
First of all, the priority was to protect my grandfather’s health as much as possible until then.
“Huh, yeah. Let’s do it.”
I took my grandfather’s hand and headed to the dining room.
“Larane asked me to join her for dinner. I’m sure they’ve arrived at the dining room first by now and are waiting. Maybe Craney too.”
“I see. How’s Craney doing these days?”
“Belsach that basta–…… No, I think it’s great that Belsach doesn’t bother him anymore. He comes to my study almost every day to borrow books.”
“Yeah, that’s a relief. You take good care of Craney so he doesn’t feel lonely…….”
It happened in the blink of an eye.
My grandfather’s body suddenly lost its balance and faltered loudly as he was walking down the stairs with a smile.
He sat down half-way like a man who was relaxed in his knees, and soon his body began to bend forward.
“Oh, no!”
We were up the stairs. If left alone, grandfather would fall down the stairs.
I pulled my grandfather’s hand, holding it as hard as I could.
I yanked my grandfather’s body towards me, giving up my balance and pulling my head back altogether.
Fortunately, it worked.
Grandfather’s body, which was falling forward, changed its direction toward me instead.
But with my twelve-year-old body, it had no power to bear such weight.
Naturally, my grandfather’s body overlapped on top of me and I fell under it.
“Ugh!”
Instinctively, I felt my arms and shoulders bumping into the corners of the pointed stairs, and sharp pain hit me.
Thump!
Embracing my fallen grandfather’s body with a heavy sound, I could only stop after being pushed down two steps.
Having confirmed that I was no longer sliding down, I hurried to look at my grandfather.
“Grandfather! Grandfather!”
But grandfather with his eyes tightly closed didn’t answer.
I want to check his consciousness by shaking his shoulders.
But my arms were underneath me, holding grandfather.
“Help me!”
I cried out.
My screams rang through the mansion walls.
“Somebody, somebody help me!”
Lombardy’s mansion is on alert.

It was because Lulak Lombardy, the owner of the house, collapsed.
In other words, it happened on the stairs, and the employees trembled with anxiety, asking if how big of a damage was dealt.
At the bedroom of the house Lord.
Many people, including knights guarding the front, were standing and waiting for the doctor to come out and tell the good news.
Then a loud voice came out of it.
“Oh, well! Didn’t I tell you to look at Tia first!”
Sitting on his back against the bed, Lulak yelled angrily.
“Look at that blood! The child comes before me, I am fine! I just missed my step!”
Standing next to Lulak’s bed, Estira tried to persuade him with a calm voice.
“Lady Florentia is being treated by Mr. Ollier…….”
Ollier was a disciple and colleague whom Estira brought from the Academy.
“You’re better at it! I’m fine, so you see Tia, Dr. Estira!”
Shananet shook her head at Lulak’s stubborn attitude, but looked at Tia anxiously.
At the time of discovery, the child, who was completely under Lulak’s body, had a dislocated shoulder and torn flesh in her arm, indicating that she had received all the shock with her small body, and the dress was stained red.
But in the meantime, Tia was shouting that her grandfather was unconscious.
Then, Viese, standing with his arms folded, snapped back.
“Father, you’re the owner of this house. You’re more important than a child like that! stop being stubborn…..”
“Viese!”
Lulak burst out and screamed.
He looked so angry that I was worried that he might collapse again.
But then there was a small but calm voice.
“No, that’s right.”
It was Tia sitting in the chair across from the bed.
The side of Ollier, looking at her injured shoulder, sat upright.
“Grandpa didn’t miss a step. I saw it. He stood up for a while, but then fell completely unconscious.”
“Hmm…….”
Lulak coughed in vain with a prickly expression.
“I mean it Dr. Estira. Go ahead and see my grandfather.”
* * *
First aid was completed on my shoulder while Estira carefully examined my grandfather with the things she took out of the bag.
The rest of it should be moved to the clinic to get anesthesia and sew the torn part.
And finally Estira spoke with a dark complexion.
“We’ll have to spend more time examining the details, but I think Lady Florentia is right. It wasn’t just an accident.”
Also.
My ominous hunch has never been wrong.
In my previous life, grandfather was greatly ill at this time.
My grandfather, who had been found collapsed in his room in the morning, had to remain unconscious for a week before being bedridden for months.
Fortunately, this time it wasn’t as serious as it was then, but something similar happened.
“As Lombardy’s physician, I recommend that the Lord recuperate for about a month and recover his strength.”
“So you don’t want me to work?”
Grandfather questioned Estira’s words.
“……you need to rest to regain your stamina.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“But Lord…….”
“So this family, who’s gonna take care of Lombardy?”
There was no answer from everyone.
There was no one who could replace him right now.
The names of some of the household owners of the Bongshin family came to my mind, but soon disappeared.
Those were the people who were already hard pressed enough in their positions.
It was then.
“Don’t you have me?”8
Viese said, stepping up by the bedside. .
“I will lead Lombardy instead of my father. I mean, while you’re recuperating.”
He said his father was sick, and it was worth seeing Viese’s face glowing.
“Father.”
Eventually, Shananet urgently called my grandfather. This is something that should not be taken lightly.
And that was the common idea of the people in this room. Even John the Butler turned pale.
“What is it, sister? Are you saying that I’m not good enough?”7
Viese asked in a discontented voice, but Shananet spoke to my grandfather again after a brief silence.
“Why don’t you get help from the vassal families, Father?”
“Sister!”
Viese rarely spoke up to Shananet.
“I am the eldest son of this family! If my father falls down and I don’t come forward, who will?!”
It is not enough, but it is true that Viese is Lombardy’s eldest son.+
But he really isn’t fit to lead.

Even though he should be the eldest.
In the midst of silence in the bedroom, everyone seemed to regain their reason little by little.
No way, my grandfather would not let Viese be the acting household owner.
But then, my grandfather, who seemed to be struggling with something, said something like a bolt out of the blue.
“Do it, Viese.”
