[Episode 80]
“…”
But why are you revealing that to me?
When I saw him with a grimace on his face, he rose from his seat.
“Come to think of it, imprints are said to be unable to overcome true flesh and blood… You must hope that your real parents do not come back.”
When I said I didn’t know what he meant, I frowned, and he got up from his seat again with a naive face and a sly smile.
“Then let’s go, lady.”
Watching him bow his head, I nodded.
“I hope you have it ready by next week.”
“I look forward to meaningful results.”
At my words, he smiled and opened the door.
Kudangtangtang-!
And just like that, it fell forward.
“Ouch…”
He rubbed the back of his head as he rolled on the floor. It looked really painful.
He sat down on the floor and pressed the back of his head with both hands.
‘Aren’t you really hurt?’
I doused the handkerchief with the cold water nearby and ran and stuck the handkerchief to his head.
Water dripped from the damp handkerchief.
“…miss?”
“I think it might have happened…”
Even after saying it, I thought I had done something stupid. He did not wring the handkerchief, so the water flowed and soaked his clothes.
“sorry.”
“Hmm…”
Hill Rosemont’s face came closer.
“It would be very easy to kidnap you.”
When he frowned at the words that criticized me for doing me a favor, he got up from his seat as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the back of my head, it seems to be a little swollen.
“Take a handkerchief. And stop falling on purpose, it hurts.”
I don’t know why you treat yourself so carelessly.
Hill Rosemont looked down at me, clutching the damp handkerchief I had given her, then turned away.
“Please prepare the promised items properly.”
Watching him walk away, I let out a deep sigh.
‘I don’t know why everyone seems to be broken somewhere.’
Hill Rosement is also a person who needs healing.
‘I have to put a cat in everyone’s arms one day.’
Cats are the most powerful healing animals.
As I was thinking, I heard a happy voice from behind.
“Eirin.”
“dad.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Teacher saw me off. What about Dad?”
“I came to pick you up.”
Erno Etam smiled and bent down to pick me up and hug me. As I was accustomed to being held in his arms, he patted my back.
“Where are you going?”
“Since you’ve become the head of the family, there are a lot of people I can introduce you to.”
“Isn’t that a joke, is it real?”
“It is real.”
“There is also a territory given by His Majesty, right?”
Even managing that would give me a headache.
“Yes, they are also planning to elect a manager. After being introduced today, you may choose.”
“I don’t know anything…?”
“I’ll be there to help, so don’t be too pressured.”
Why don’t you feel the burden after suddenly giving away the Etam family?!
What kind of family was the Etham family?
Aren’t they one of the families carrying the pillars of the empire?
It was a family with money, power, honor, and everything to the extent that it was said that the only thing missing was personality.
‘In Korea, you suddenly became the chairman of a conglomerate.’
Being a 10-year-old chairman was speechless. It must have been reported in the newspaper headlines every day.
“But why did you give it to me? It’s a housekeeper job. He said he tried to give it to me even when he didn’t know I was a dragon.”
I told you the other day that Erno Etam was originally going to give it to me.
“You…”
He licked his lips leisurely.
“I thought if I gave him a position as head of the household, he wouldn’t think of leaving the house.”
“…yes?”
“It seems like you don’t consider us a real family because I put the first button wrong.”
“Us…?”
Am I mistaken to sound like everyone else knew?
“Yes, I also asked Callan and Cillian.”
“There are other families, too. Like father and brother…”
Erno Etham laughed as if he wasn’t even laughing.
From that expression, it was clear how much he was ignoring the other family members.
“Lowers never get a second chance.”
said Erno Etam.
Even though my father is the youngest, he is living in the mansion because he is the most likely successor… It
‘s not wrong. But it was also a bit naughty.
‘But he took it and gave it to me…’
Maybe Dad wasn’t the head of the Etam family for the shortest period of time?
“But their children…”
“I, the head of the household, handed you over as the successor, so what does that matter?”
he said shamelessly.
That’s right, it was definitely the discretion of the family head to decide on a successor.
‘I feel sorry for Grandpa….’
My father, who had always been in trouble like that, finally said that he would take over, so he handed over the title of head of household, and he handed it over to me.
‘I can understand why they make disapproving eyes every time they see me.’
Even if I look like me, I don’t think I will look pretty.
So where are you going now?
The place I arrived in my father’s arms was the meeting room. It’s much bigger than where I was before.
When Dad went inside, the buzzing crowd instantly fell silent.
A group of strangers sat around a large round table. I panicked and grabbed my dad by the hem of his dress, and he lightly patted me on the back.
He went inside and seated me at the very center of the round table, and when I stood next to him, all the adults who had been sitting looking at me with curious eyes rose from their seats.
“Meet the Lord, the owner of eternity.”
Everyone bowed their heads to me.
The only ones who didn’t bow were the former head of the household, Erno Etham, and the Duke of Mirel, who had become the head of the family before the war.
When I rolled my eyes in an unexpected situation, Duke Mirel opened his mouth.
“All you have to do is ask them to raise their heads.”
“Please sit with your head up…”
His voice trembled. When I barely spoke, they raised their heads and sat back down like well-trained knights.
everyone saw me
‘…What are you telling me to do?’
I just hate standing in front of anyone.
Even though I have been in charge of researching data and organizing PPTs in group assignments since the old days, I wanted to avoid making a presentation even if I died soon.
Nothing went right in front of someone.
In middle school and high school, when I said something, all I could hear was silence or giggling sneers.
My heart beat fast as I looked at me.
“I was quite surprised to hear that the idiot youngest, who used to live his life on his own, suddenly adopted a daughter, but isn’t this a very cute nephew?”
The first to speak was a bold-looking man with the size of his grandfather next to his father.
He has black hair and golden eyes, just like his father. However, he had been living outside for a long time, so his skin was slightly tanned.
Unlike when he bowed his head, he opened his mouth in a rather light voice.
‘Should I say that my father’s muscles are slightly muscular and his lines are thick?’
Uh, nephew?
“My name is Charniel Etam. I am the first and eldest son of these guys.”
When I tilted my head, he smiled and introduced himself.
‘Then all these people…’
Do you mean that they are direct or collateral descendants of Etam?
[The Etam family has summoned all of them, both direct and collateral, as the head family since you woke up.] Although the
emperor uncle said the other day, it seems that they have really summoned them all.
‘Dad for me…’
His eyes naturally became round.
This time, a fist-sized woman across from Charniel opened her mouth calmly with her chin resting on her chin.
“I mean, the youngest subject doesn’t have any cuteness at all. To hear rumors of a socialite belatedly after finishing all the work by myself…”
There seemed to be no place for it to be strange even if she was a dignified female lead, showing a dissatisfied expression as she folded her fan.
“Oh, I am Nelia Zardan. nephew I am the eldest and the second.”
She brushed her light golden hair back and smiled. At first glance, there were small muscles in the arms.
Upon closer inspection, the fan also appeared to be a heavy-looking iron fan, not something like wood.
‘What are you afraid of?’
As if playing with a branch, she casually played with the fan with one hand.
“Oh what! Is this only weird? Nell, do you still think it makes sense to give the job of head of a household to a child who is only 10 years old? We’re not some kind of poor family, we’re the head of the Etham family!”
The woman sitting next to Nelia Zardan slammed the table and rose.
She was a woman with black hair. In terms of looks, honestly, she was second only to her father’s beauty.
Daddy is the best
The shabby-looking woman was holding a fan, but it was a regular fan.
‘…Does this person also like lizards?’
It is also the same that there is a picture of a lizard on the fan. She turned her head and glared at me.
My eyes tightened even more when I kept my mouth shut.
“Hmm… Well, that’s definitely a bit like that.”
“yes?! Are you still a kid? He’s a kid who needs to grow up by running around a little more! You said you weren’t even tall enough in the first place?”
“…”
The painful place was stabbed.
They said I’d grow taller soon… When
I pressed my head down with a sullen face, the shabby woman who saw me shook her shoulders.
“Hey you! My estate will send you milk and cheese, so eat lots of them! You have to grow up quickly to do business or politics! I’ll only send you the highest quality, so eat them all!”
The woman spread out her fan.
Seeing that, Erno Etam’s expression crumpled. Nelia Zardan laughed and opened her mouth.
“Acrea? If you’re going to be so brusque, why don’t you get rid of those children’s toy fans?”
I was drawn on the fan. To be precise, the lizard I saw in the mirror as a child.
Her face turned bright red.
