Chapter 36
Oh, is this the beginning? I searched my memory.
Right. It seems to have been around this time in my previous life.
Belsach started to enter the Imperial Palace in earnest as a playmate of the First Prince.
In fact, it starts because Astana and Belsach were not so close.
Astana regards Belsach as an annoying trembling thing, but there is no real friendship.
It was quite a political intention.
“Aren’t you envious?”
Belsach said, shouting at me and my cousins at the table.
“No.”
“I don’t envy anything.”
“Why would I be envious of playing with that guy who is not kind and has a dirty personality?”1
“He was act mischievous to Tia as well.”
The twins replied in a deep tone.
Perhaps the two are sincere.
It’s funny for Lombardy’s children, First Prince was not such an attractive object of play.
But would other noble families do the same?
“Huh. lie. Everyone was envious!”
Perhaps he had already boasted in several social gatherings.
And that’s what Viese and Seral wanted.
Of course, it wasn’t just to groan in front of people.
Rather, it was to show that the relationship between the First Prince, that is, the empress and the Viese couple, was so close.
“So half, you.”
Belsach said, pointing me with a pointed fork.
“Wouldn’t it be better to listen to me well in the future? Be as docile as before.”1
What did you say, that idiot?
Anyway, I am not envious of any acquaintances with the First Prince, who will be brought down by the hands of Second Prince and sent to the battlefield.
However, I hated seeing Belsach’s elated appearance, who had no idea of such a future.
I quietly buttered the bread without responding.
Plenty, plenty. Very meticulously.
And lifted it.
Flinch!
And Belsach, who was looking at me, flinched.
But I brought Buttered bread into my mouth as if to behold Belsach, and asked.

It is only then that Belsach’s face, who has grasped the situation, turns red.
I deliberately spoke out loud, licking the crumbs on my mouth with my tongue.
“Chewy.”
You can hear twins squeaking from each side.
It’s a bonus that Astalliu’s cry for Belsach is a bit disappointing.
Oh my gosh.
At that time, the door of Eleanor Hall opened and I saw Grandpa entering.
The grandfather glanced at his grandchildren and granddaughters sitting around and walked straight to the big table.
The adults who were sitting stood up and greeted the grandfather.
The family banquet was just beginning.
I quietly shut my mouth and listened to the conversation coming from the big table.
* * *
“It feels good to see everyone gathered like this.”
Lulak said with satisfaction as he watched the children and their spouses seated around him.
Lombardy was on the good side with the current Lord.
Just as proving that blood and flesh are of no use in the face of power, compared to the unfolding of situations that other families can’t even open their eyes to.

At least, the brothers haven’t poked swords into each other yet.
And it was a disproving that Lulak still exists.
If the time comes when Lord is weak and the vassals have to think about the next generation, then it will be difficult for everyone to sit around the table like this anymore.
Especially for those who will become the next Lord of Lombardy, and of course Lulak himself too.
“Get some food.”
Lulak ordered the butler.
After a while, more servants raised several silver trays.
“Wow, it’s amazing.”
At the back of the procession, the children lit their eyes when they saw the two male servants whine and come in.
It was big roast pork with a red apple in its mouth.3
The banquet hall was already filled with an appetite odor.
And the man dressed in clean clothes came in last.
He was the chef in charge of Lord.
For reference, Emperor Jovanes’ chef was his disciple.
The chef, who politely greeted Lulak, took his own knife and cut the grilled pigs to eat.
I could see the chef’s dedication to the house, how careful his hands were on each dish.
A plate was placed in front of the people, and the meal began in a rather free atmosphere.
Then, with a bottle of wine, Viese stood up and approached Lulak.
“I will serve a drink. Father.”
Lulak nodded satisfactorily and took the drink of the eldest son.
Viese said as if everyone was asking for a listen.
“Thank you for allowing Belsach to enter the Imperial Palace.”
It was Vestian who responded First to those words.
“I guess it went well, brother-in-law.”
“It is thanks to my father.”
Viese, quite resolutely, turned everything to Lulak’s eyes.
“Without permission, Belsach would have had to wait months before he was eleven.”
Viese was bitter, and he had a good relationship with Vestian.
It was also because Vestian was very good to everyone.
Of course, there was a bond between the two.
Lulak watched the conversation go back and forth, silently holding a red wine to his mouth.
“How glad your father made an exception for us Belsach.”
Seral laughed, giving strength to the word ‘exception’.
Lombardy’s children are not free to act outside the mansion until they are eleven years old.
