Comment by Introvert on I’Ll Be The Matriarch In This Life - Chapter 179

 

And he said, looking closely at Gillard Brown, "You must have a hard time." Gillard Brown’s gaze was cut off and stayed where his right hand was and said, "...I feel like I’m lucky to be alive." Lulak also watched the scene and asked. "It must be Angenas. They’ve done a terrible job." It was more than 40 years ago that Angenas took all the land of the Brown family.

 

Since then, Angenas has dried up the Brown family. They forced him out of the estate and killed Gillard Brown’s father, the Lord of Brown, who was in charge of a nearby estate.The background has never been clarified, but no one didn’t know that there were Angenas behind it. Despite the harsh words, Gillard Brown did not lose his temper.

 

Over the past years, there have been many nights when he thought it would have been lucky to die that night together. He recalled, "They take the right hand of the one who lifts the sword." The killers sent by Angenas killed only the young Brown family, their first son, and adult men who could succeed the family. (Fuc**** psychopaths 🤬)

The Lord of Brown’s younger brother, who survived difficult times at that time, had both legs cut off. And boys, including Gillard, had to lose their right hand. They were survivors and witnesses forced to remain silent. "But you survived." Grandpa said to Gillard Brown.

"Don’t worry about Angenas. These days, they’re busy putting out their tailed fire. Now that I’ve held a scholarship, don’t worry about the leak of your visit to me today." (Grandpa never ceases to amuse me😏)

 

"Thank you..." Gillard Brown bowed his head deep. And in that state, he spoke earnestly, "Please help the Brown family, elder. I have found a way to get back the land that was taken away by Angenas, but before that, I must regain my name." (He is referring to Perez here)

Angenas eventually succeeded in removing the Browns from the aristocratic register ten years ago. Strictly speaking, now the Browns are no longer aristocrats. "So please help me get my name back to aristocracy?" Lulak stroked the white beard slowly. "So what does Lombardy gain?" "The Brown family, who succeeded in the aristocracy, will be Lombardy’s eternal allies."

 

Lulak burst into laughter. "Where else can you find empty promises like that? Now the Brown family, which can’t be found in the aristocratic register, allies." At that moment, Lulak’s eyes became sharp, "Besides, what do I believe in you who have become the Second Prince’s man?" Gillard Brown was engulfed in vain. 

"Did that wolf say that? You can’t use your power in the aristocracy, so you go to Lombardy and throw an empty promise?" (grandpa knows how clever Perez is 👀) Gillard Brown was unable to speak because it was as Lulak said. Meeting the Lord of Lombardy was the idea of the Second Prince, and it was right to use Lombardy’s friendship with the Brown family in the past.

 

On the other side Tia had met Ramona and she was shocked that Tia already knew her identity. Caitlyn approached and gently touched Ramona’s shoulder. It was an act that seemed to soothe the confusion of Ramona, but it wasn’t. Now Caitlyn was telling Ramona to stop prying questions and apologisd, "I’m sorry, Lady Florentia."

Tia looked at Ramona and Caitlyn side by side and said, "You two look a lot alike." Caitlyn, who had a neat and modest appearance, and Ramona was tall with red hair, blue eyes, and a colorful appearance, are very different. (Yes in the novel Ramona had Red hair and blue eyes)

 

In her previous life, Caitlyn asked her grandfather to help the Browns. But her grandfather refused and eventually, Caitlyn chose to be Perez’s person entirely. It would have been a very difficult and painful decision for Caitlyn, who has a lot of affection and loyalty for Lombardi. But eventually, Caitlyn chose the family.

 

"I’m not going to tell you how I knew again." Tia playfully added and Ramona blushed quietly. She may have been angry at her who knows all her secrets and her family but Tia didn’t tell her how she knew it half-teasingly. However, Ramona had no clue of it but she became more curious.

 

Tia led two people to the drawing-room but questioned Caitlyn, "Why did you want to introduce Lady Ramona Brown to me?" In fact, it was the most confusing part for Tia. It was better for her to take Ramona to her grandfather rather than her and make an impression at least once. Caitlyn thought for a moment and answered her question, "Because you’re an important person."

 

Caitlyn said, "At present, Lady Lombardi is the most powerful person in the Lambrew Empire, except for Lord Lombardi." Caitlyn was Perez’s maid. Of course, Perez would never have told Caitlyn about her but it is Caitlyn who has been assisting Perez right next to him for a long time. So, there are a lot of things she naturally knows about.

Probably there are things she knows about Tia which she can guess. Maybe Caitlyn hadn’t even given details to Ramona given her reaction of alternating between Tia and Caitlyn with her surprised eyes. As a maid of the Royal Family, she fulfilled her duty to keep a close silence on what she learned during her duties. Tia was feeling strangely proud of Caitlyn.

 

 

 

"You didn’t let go of the sword." Ramona is a member of the Brown family. And with Perez, she learned swordsmanship at the Academy. As an employee of the Monak Top, she would have lived a busy life moving from place to place, but the callouses still remained in Ramona’s hands.

Caitlyn also trained in swordsmanship, but it was a little different from when she entered the Palace and became a maid of honor."I don’t skip a day of training." Ramona shook her head and replied. "I’m the daughter of the Brown family." She could tell from Ramona’s clear answer. The meaning of what Caitlyn said. John the Butler came in with a low knock and said with a polite bow informed, "The Lord is calling for the Lady Florentia."
