Chapter 47

"Are you okay, Tia?"

My grandfather asked, brushing off my clothes that Perez was holding.

"I'm fine, Grandpa. This kid here is my friend..."

"Perez Brivachau Durelli."

Perez's shoulder flinched a little.

However, the cold-hearted grandfather's gaze only looked at him up and down, as if evaluating an object.

"Grandpa?"

It was my first time seeing such a figure, so I carefully called my grandfather.

"Yes, this kid is the Second Prince. You can tell even when you meet him while walking outside the palace."

"Why?"

The grandfather replied without taking his frown from Perez.

"You guy, you resemble the Late Emperor very much. I think you are not Jovanes, but the Late Emperor's child."7

Perez' eyes shook at the words.

"Did no one tell you?"

When Grandpa asked, he nodded a little.

"Hey. Your mother would have seen the Late Emperor, and Jovanes wouldn't have wanted to remember his father."

"The Emperor's Majesty wasn't good with the Late Emperor Majesty, Grandpa?"

"I don't know."

Grandpa said with a big smile.

"I'm still not sure Jovanes didn't poison his father."

It's a whole trash family?1

I thought Lombardy was a mess, but the Imperial Family too.

At least, Viese waited quietly for his father to die in old age.

When I was still silent, my grandfather looked at me and quickly spoke.

"Of course, it's not something our Tia cares about. Forget what grandfather said."

"Yes, Grandpa."

I replied quickly like a good granddaughter who listens well.

"Yes, yes. And you... ... ."

Grandpa's gaze turned back to Perez.

It was better than before, but it was still somewhere cold.

"Are you living alone in this separate palace now?"

Nod.

"No maid or nanny?"

Nod nod.

"Seeing that you haven't starved to death yet, what you eat is something someone sometimes brings?"

Nod.

"Is it possible for the Emperor's son to be dumb without speaking? Someone should know how to answer in proper words!"

Grandpa screamed. Then Perez, with his shoulders shrugged, hid behind my back.

"That guy......!"

Grandpa also reached out to grab Perez's back, as if he didn't like it.

But for some reason, my grandfather stopped.

I jumped in the gap and laughed while grabbed grandfather's hand.

"Grandpa! Go inside and talk! My leg hurts...... ."

In fact, it wasn't my legs that would hurt just because I was standing this far, but I trembled.

"Yes. Florentia, you will be in first. "

"How about you, Grandpa?"

"Grandfather talks a little with this guy and then goes in."

Grandpa's expression was determined.

If I insisted on staying here, I felt like he would pick up Perez again and put him in the wagon.

First of all, now is the time to listen to my grandfather.

I have no choice but to turn my back and head to the separate palace.

My grandfather said to Perez who still looked at me.

"She is your saviors who have carried me so hard! Look pretty well!"1

Sweet.

Florentia enters the palace, and the old door is closed.

Lulak looked down at the Second Prince in front of him.

Deliberately did not hide the sharp and heavy momentum.

When Lulak was like this, even a healthy adult couldn't raise his head easily.

But Perez was different.

His bright red eyes were looking straight up at Lulak.

Like a white porcelain mask, the face without change was filled with sharp alertness.

It was completely different from when Florentia was next to him.

A little while ago, when Lulak reached out his hand, he even put it in his eyes for a while.

"That's pretty good."

Hearing the voice of his granddaughter and seeing him rushing out and listening to her words, Lulak thought he was a petty puppy that lost his mother.

Now Lulak sees him as a very clever bum.4

Lulak laughed.

"I thought that only the appearance resembles the Late Emperor, but your personality is also very good."

The young Perez was evaluating Lulak.

Seeing the appearance of a forgotten Prince with a poor body who would stop breathing just by reaching out and twisting his neck.

A lonely person who won't cry even if he dies.

Such appearance is very sharp like the spearhead.

Even though the Late Emperor was a human who failed to protect his family, as an Emperor who ruled the Empire, he succeeded in doing his job.

And, ironically, that's what made Lulak's anger subside a little.

Lulak wanted to pretend didn't know and just let him die. But couldn't.....

"Do you want to live?"

Lulak asked Perez.

"If I say a word, 'I want'. What should I do? Would you like to save me?"

Perez was clenching his small fist.

Bloody gaze was gleaming toward Lulak, who mocked with his life.

Red eyes, it was called ruby, which came in as a gift by accident.

At the moment, Lulak imagined how Rabini Angenas gnawed her teeth while looking at Perez, and he felt better.

In fact, that alone was enough reason for Perez to remain alive.

"Yes, I decided. I will save you."
