Comment by Introvert on I’Ll Be The Matriarch In This Life - Chapter 180

 

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.

 

Ramona became Perez’s official lover, and the Brown family was successfully reinstated, becoming the West’s leading family instead of the Angenas. "Then, the Lord of Brown would be meeting my grandfather right now." Ramona was surprised at her words once again.

 

"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.

 

 

 

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.

"I think Ramona can learn a lot from such a figure of Lady Florentia." Tia looked at Ramona. She already knew that Ramona liked Perez. She can’t help but notice it at a glance. But what’s that Ramona could learn from her? She thought. So Tia asks Ramona, "Can I see your hand for a second?" Ramona, who hesitated for a while, reached out to her.

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."

Lulak’s words of calling Tia crossed Gillard Brown’s face. It was because he didn’t understand of him calling his granddaughter not his daughter Shannanet. Seeing that such a question appeared on his face, Lulak asked, "Is it strange that I suddenly called my granddaughter? Wait and see. Soon you’ll know why I called the kid." Lulak laughed as if he was having fun.

After a while, a woman came in with a small knock. Gillard Brown could see the meaning of what the Lord of Lombardi said a while ago. Her eyes were so intense enough to make him avoid her gaze without knowing it. It was an overbearing feeling as if dealing with the Lord of Lombardi.

 

Her grandfather said, "I’m sure Tia knows something about the Brown family. And today, the Lord of Brown asked Lombardi for help. I will leave the Brown family’s matters to you, Tia." The Lord of Brown was surprised and protested to grandfather. But Tia didn’t look back on it because grandfather was staring at her.

It is to observe how she reacted to the enormous task thrown out of nowhere. "Yes, I understand."Tia answered calmly.

It’s the beginning of my test.

A test to prove that she has the qualities to be a Matriarch. She looked at the Lord of Brown, who was still stunned. He was once a swordsman with a promising future, but his right hand was cut off and he has lived as a commoner. Therefore, there is no aristocratic aspect from any perspective, such as slightly curved shoulders and unconfident eyes.

If she introduced him to the aristocratic society again, they will be eaten quickly by the aristocrats who are waiting for red meat, leaving only bones. Until the Browns successfully reinstated and became the representative family of the West again.

 

So Tia addressed Lord Brown saying, "As long as my grandfather left the Brown family to me, I will do my best to help the Lord. But you have to remember one thing. Always raise your head. Straighten your shoulders. And now you’re a householder worthy of the name of the Brown family name." A moment later, Gillard Brown replied, "Thanks for your help, Lady Lombardi."It was still awkward, but his eyes and voice were quite different from before.

Empress Rabini, Clerivan, and Duigi Angenas sat in one place at the Empress’s Palace. "You can stamp your family seal here." Clerivan said and pointed to a corner of the paper on the table. The words of Florentia were true, Empress thought to herself. Today was the day to write a formal contract because things went smoothly after putting a connection in the Pellet Corporation.

 

Debt to Lombardy is now gone and Pellet Corporation took the bonds. With little interest, it was just a nail-sized land in the western corner as collateral. Besides, contrary to what was said, she liked the man, Clerivan Pellet. It was especially so that he kept manners like a sword, not only for his beautiful appearance but also for a merchant.

"I thought that Pellet Corporation had such a close relationship with Lombardy that he would not do business with Angenas." Rabini answered out of the blue on purpose. "And the other day, there was Triva woodwork." She even brought up the past on purpose.

Clerivan said, "It’s true that the Pellet Corporation has received a lot of Lombardi’s help to get this far. But we can’t stay in Lombardi forever. Also, the work of the Triva tree was very different from my will." At the words of Clerivan, the Empress smiled inwardly. "It’s all in the past, so I don’t care." "Thank you, Empress." Rabini nodded and pulled out the family seal.

But the Clerivan suddenly stopped the Empress. "The Lord of Angenas must be the one who put stamp here." The Empress’s face hardened coldly. But Clerivan did not back down. "I’m sorry, Empress. However, the seal is effective only when it is imprinted by the state."

 

The Empress handed over the seal of the Angenas family to Duigi with a cold look. Duigi Angenas accepted the seal with a slightly embarrassing yet smiling face. "Should I stamp it here?"

Then he looked back at Duigi Angenas and said, "It’s my first time to visit the Imperial Palace. If you are okay, would you please show me the way out?" At Clerivan’s request, Duigi nodded, albeit slightly surprised. It was because he liked him quite a bit. "I’m on my way out, so I’ll accompany you." The two walked down the hall, leaving the Empress.

Clerivan, who was briefly taking out the contract that came out, said in surprise."I wrote the wrong date on the contract by mistake. If you look here, the contract date is incorrectly written as last year."

"Even so. Does that matter?" "Yes, this will make the contract ineffective under Imperial Law. I can’t fix the date on my own..."Duigi Angenas, who had been flicking his tongue, said, pointing to the path he had taken. "Then let’s go back now and tell the Empress..."

Clerivan shook his hand and said, "Without bothering the Empress, I will visit the Angenas tomorrow with a new contract." Duigi Angenas showed signs of difficulty.

At the moment, it was a very brief moment in the eyes of Duigi Angenas that something crossed his mind. Then he burst into laughter and nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Then come to the mansion tomorrow. I’ll rewrite the contract." "Yes, I am ashamed to bother you with my mistakes." Clerivan’s mouth, with his head bowed, had a quiet smile.
