In This Life I Will Be The Lord - Chapter 264

His forehead, which had always been half-exposed after ascending the throne, was covered with bangs today.

His body had no common trinkets, but a plain iron sword tied to his waist.

But still.

“Wow, Perez, you.”

I was amazed every time I saw him since the morning.

“Even simple clothes can’t hide your beauty?”

“……Tia.”

The tip of Perez’ ears turned red with my compliment.

But I was confident.

I was just telling the truth, why.

Honestly, I wondered if this would become a disguise.

Even though I chose the most casual clothes among ready-to-wear clothes, the clothes Perez wore seemed very expensive for some reason.

“You are also my fiance.”

“Hmm.”

The guy who saw my proud smile eventually turned his head to the side and coughed.

The red color spread to his straight neck that was clearly exposed.

“……I think you would be better to go alone.”

“Mairon.”

When Mairon, who was looking at us, muttered something, Gillieu struck his brother’s side.

“But I agree.”

But at the same time, I don’t forget to respond again.

“What are you two so dissatisfied with?”

My question was answered by the twins who stood side by side and stared at Perez with the same long, pointed eyes.

“Why are you rushing off for a week all of a sudden?”

Gillieu’s mouth popped out.

“I told you, I’m going to punch Chanton Sushou. To do that, I have a place to stop by.”

“Sneak enough to cover up like this?”

“Huh. No one knows except my people. And.”

I raised my fist and tapped Mairon on the shoulder and said.

“It hurts the most when you get hit while you’re out of guard.”

“Yeah, well…”

Mairon looked down at his shoulder, where I hit him without pain, and took a low breath.

“If we, your escort, are gone, Chanton Sushou will be suspicious.”

“That’s right. Bears are smarter animals than you thought.”

This time, I’ve had a good shot.

I squinted as I recalled the port of Tamal.

In addition, I was told to slow down the speed as much as possible by thoroughly checking my tops, and I couldn’t figure out how late the journey would be if I traveled separately after revealing my identity.

Chanton Sushou will light up his eyes and try to figure out why I’m not moving with my family.

“If both of you are in the mansion, and Caitlin and Kylus are also here, Chanton Sushou wouldn’t be too suspicious.”

Whenever I go out of the mansion, it was Caitlin and Kylas who always stayed with Perez as much as the twins who always accompany me.

Externally, Perez visits the Lombardi mansion today, spends a week on vacation with me, and begins a journey to the east with the Lombardi people.

And by that time, I and Perez will already be on a cruise to the east.

That was when I was thinking about the future schedule.

“Are you ready, Tia?”

“You don’t have to come out, dad.”

“My daughter is all grown up and she’s going on a trip like this, so of course I have to see you off.”

My father said and hugged me tenderly.

He had a smile on his face, but his smile seemed to worry a lot.

My father, who had been patting my shoulders silently for a while, said with a slightly heavy voice.

“Thanks, Tia.”

Perhaps he noticed that the reason I’m secretly moving is related to Chesail.

I laughed more vigorously on purpose because I knew how sorry and grateful my father felt.

“What, it’s my job as a householder to protect Lombardi’s.”

Although it is an independent estate from Lombardi, Chesail and its inhabitants are invaluable to my father.

That alone is enough reason to move to protect the land.

“It will be easier in the future only if I properly break the spirit of the Patriarch of Sushou in the middle of nowhere.”

Another method of Chanton Sushou, unlike the former Empress Lavini’s, really touched my inner desire to win.

“I think we should get going, Tia.”

Perez approached and announced quietly.

I held my father tight one last time and waved to the twins before getting into the carriage.

Perez, who said something to Caitlin and Kylus, also sat next to me.

When the coachman, who chose to be a particularly talkative man, closed the door of the passenger carriage, the carriage slowly departed.

“I’m a little excited.”

It was time to tidy up the hem of my dress, saying so in a light beating heart.

With a casual glance out of the window, I saw my grandfather looking at the carriage leaving with his back under a distant tree.

He didn’t look as worried as my father did.

I deliberately opened the window of the carriage and held my head out.

Then I saw my grandfather’s eyes widen a little.

“I’ll be back, Grandpa!”

I didn’t shout out loud, but it must have been heard enough.

“See you in the East!”

As evidence of that, I could see a laugh slowly spreading over Grandpa’s surprised face.

I smiled and waved until I could not see my grandfather so far away.

***

How long did it run, the familiar scenery passed through the window.

“Uh, here… that’s where you took Larane and Avinox.”

At that time, it was midnight, so there was no person, but in the morning, as it was well cleaned, I could see carriages coming and going busily.

“Do you remember, Perez?”

At my question, the guy nodded his head briefly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his eyes were thin.

“You look very happy today.”

“Right.”

Perez admitted plainly.

“I didn’t know that the day I would go on a trip alone like this would come. And most of all.”

Perez’s fingertips brushed against my loosely tied hair.

“You told me you needed me.”

“Ah… I did.”

“So I like it.”

Perez’ voice saying that was drowsy.

Sitting with a long body leaning against the back, he looked like a full cat and a beast.

“I really can’t move alone. Perez You said you traveled a lot with your classmates when you were at the academy.”

“Yeah, I’ve been to the East as well. It wasn’t by boat like it is now, it was by land.”

“Come to think of it, you’ve been to everywhere in the Empire, east, west, north, south, right?”

“Yes, I was… busy on vacation.”

The words reminded me of Perez’ scar-filled body that I had seen by chance.

He had never asked Perez in detail about his time at the academy.

The same was true of the trip he went on every vacation.

What he had been moving so far away for?

However, there were some things I could know without having to ask.

“It was a lot of trouble.”

I said, placing my hand lightly on the back of Perez’s hand.

Then, his fingers slid through and tightly snapped into place.

“I’m glad I had the experience. Because I’m able to help you at least like this.”

The wind blowing through the window I had opened, distracted Perez’ black hair.

There was something that made me look at the warm gaze or the soft collar that makes me look at it blankly.

‘Oh, I want to tease you.’

Without realizing it, that desire suddenly arose.

I want to see that kind and refreshing face turn red. And I want to see the unavoidable appearance that he shows only to me in this world.

It was such a bit of a bad mind.

And something very suitable came to my mind.

I took out two books that looked like small booklets from my handbag in the corner of the carriage.

“This is the ID we will use during the trip.”

We can’t use the names of Florentia Lombardi and Perez Brivachau Durelli with a camouflage wearing ready-to-wear clothes.

It was a fake ID card I asked Violet along with various things on this journey.

“Now, look at this. Our names.”

“Chaser Gloa, Larita Gloa.”

“And what’s written under it?”

“…….a married couple.”

It was just as I expected.

I could see his handsome face gradually burning up.

Perez’s face is enough to make the nobles faint when they see this.

I said with a shrug, as if I had no choice.

“So, Perez.”

“……yeah.”

Perez, who has yet to recover from the word ‘married couple’, leaned slightly.

“Which do you like?”

As I got closer, I felt him hold his breath.

“Lets think. It’s a setting of newlyweds, but usually married couples call each other a nickname, right?”

The red eyes that I looked at up close were shaking like an earthquake.

At the moment, I whispered in a slightly secret voice, holding on to something that seemed to burst and laughter.

“Honey?”

Gulp.

The sound of Perez swallowing his saliva rang loud enough to be heard in my ears.

I opened my mouth once again.

“Baby?”

At that moment, Perez’ face turned red as if the water that had been fluttering was overflowing out of the glass.

Then he slowly covered his face with his hands, struggling with his large body.

“……Tia.”

Perez called me like he was sick through his fingers.

“What is it? What do you like? You have to choose between the two.”

I smugly pushed my face closer as if I knew nothing.

“Honey? Baby? Which of the two do you like?”

“Ah……”

Perez can’t hold on anymore. He turned his body sideways and tried to move away from me.

Not a chance.

I lifted my butt a little bit and sat close to him.

“Baby is a little cheesy, ​​and yes, honey would be nice.”

Whenever he run away.

I saw red eyes peeking at me between his fingers.

I looked straight into the eyes and said, smiling vividly.

“Please take good care of me during the trip, honey.”

He didn’t have any reaction.

It was hardened like a stone for a few seconds.

Then, the next moment, surrender came from beyond his big crouched hand with an arm on his knee.

“……Please save me, Tia.”

Oh, that’s why you made fun of me like that.

“Ahaha!”

My laughter rang out loud as I grabbed my stomach and laughed inside the carriage running smoothly.

***

I shouldn’t have laughed like that earlier.

I looked at the scene in front of me with hopelessness.

Oh yeah.

It was the setting of our newlyweds.

I blinked a few more times, but nothing changed.

I slowly turned back.

With one hand still couldn’t let go of the doorknob in the room.

“The bed…… only one bed”

Perez, standing with his arms folded in the dark corridor, had a faint smile in his eyes.
