Chapter 28: 28

 

No!

The doorknob in my hand rattle.

"Miss Florentia?"

Dr. O'Malley asked me wondering when he saw me standing still holding the doorknob.

"Are there any uncomfortable places?"

Not uncomfortable then!

Right now, I feel like flying by karate techniques, hearing that the recommendation you should give Estira is given to someone else.

I wanted to grab Dr. O'Malley's fat and squeeze it, but I asked innocently, raising my mouth hard.

“What good is there?”

At my question, a gleaming man who was excited by Dr. O'Malley quickly approached and said hello.

"Hello, my lady! I'm Jason. This time, I was invited by Dr. O'Malley to go to the Imperial Academy!"1

There was no place to be flawed except for the burden of being polite to greet, but it was a feeling of unfavorableness.

First of all, I don't like it just by intercepting the letter of recommendation that Estira should receive.

"Well. Are you a student of doctor? It's the first time I saw you..."

I've been in and out of the lab a few times so far, and it's the first time I've seen it.

"Jason is a student I taught for a while a few years ago."

A few years ago? Not even now?

"I wrote a letter of recommendation because he wanted to go to the Imperial Academy this time. Heh!"

"Thank you very much. Dr. O'Malley's letter of recommendation! I'm sure I'll get a lot of attention from the Academy Research Lab!"

Jason couldn't hide his laughter, he was happy just by imagining it.

In comparison, Estira's face was dark.

Although she was forced to laugh, I could see that it was quite gloomy.

“Stir then, now…… .”

Jason glanced at me and took luck with Dr. O'Malley.

"Miss Florentia, aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Apparently, Dr. O'Malley and Jason seemed to have separate places to go.

Perhaps it was in return for writing a letter of recommendation.

I nodded with a shaky face.

"I'm here to see Estira. Don't worry and go."

“Yes, then see you again next time.”

Dr. O'Malley leaves the lab with Jason, who is still grinning.

In the quiet space, Estira was working hard again.

Remove the teacups left on the table and arrange the refreshment bowls.

I approached Estira carefully and said.

"Estira, are you okay?"

Estira laughed faintly at my question.

“Yes, my lady. It's okay, I am. I'm rather sorry to you.”

"I? Are you sorry for me?"

I didn't understand what Estira said.

“I'm sorry, I have something to do. Even though the letter was taken away by a man named Jason, if you talk to Dr. O'Malley, he will definitely write a recommendation to Estira.”

However, Estira's bitter smile only got deeper.

Something was weird.

It's not going to be this depressing.

"Estira?"

"Recommendation letter……."

Estira, who had been shutting her mouth for a while, difficultly opened her mouth.

"Only one recommendation letter for the academy is valid per year, my lady."

"Ha, one piece?"

"Yeah…… .”

Only then did Estira laugh as if consoling, toward me, who understood the situation and was stupid.

"Next year, next year.........you will write it to me."

As I looked at it laughing but not laughing, I felt the responsibility.

It was because of my work.

I told her, I would send her to the Imperial Academy and didn't pay attention to it.

Dr. O'Malley's letter of recommendation was missed because the application deadline was approaching.

I said, looking at Estira's drooping shoulders.

"Don't worry too much, Estira."

I'll send you to the academy at whatever cost.

If I didn't receive Dr. O'Malley's recommendation, I could stop by getting someone else's recommendation.

"Well........."

It was breakfast with my father after a long time.

I was chewing the fruit and plant it for future work, and I turned my head to the sigh of my father who had already burst out for the third time.

“Hmm…….”

There was a deep wrinkle in my father's beauty, who always smiled like sunshine when he was with me.

“Dad, why is that?”

When I asked as I pulled my sleeves, my father looked at me with full consciousness.

"Ah, it's nothing. I was thinking a little bit."

I think it was a worry rather than an idea.

 

 

"If you have a hard time, it's good to talk to someone else!"

At my words, my father stroked my head as if he was amazed.

"I've been worrying even for Tia. It's not a big deal."

It's not a big deal, so let's get rid of the ground.

I kept shooting my shit at my father.

My father sighed and smiled as he looked at his little daughter, who knew nothing, wanting to tell him anything.

"I'm just trying to do another job like last time in the textile business. Because I have no experience, I'm hesitant."

"Business?"

Come to think of it, my father said that at the Empress's dinner.

Sooner or later, I'm thinking of getting my hands off the Coroi cotton fabric and doing some other personal business.

Honestly, at that time, I thought my father was in front of the Empress and put a fire in front of her.

It seemed to be sincere.

Besides, I'm so deeply worried about it.

I wanted to help if there was anything I could do to help.

"Dad, it's great! But what is it? Can't you explain it to me too?"

I sat a little closer to my father and said.

"I'm very, very curious!"

My father, who is also weak to me, pondered for a moment and then began to explain his business idea in simple words that a child could understand.

To be honest, the explanation was long and complicated.

My father himself wasn't exactly confused, but it was long and confused in the middle.

However, as I listened to my father's explanation, I shouted 'Jackpot!'.

HI felt his face glowing red with joy and excitement.

My father's business plan was a new concept that wasn't there yet.

However, it was very familiar to me.

If this business is in place, my dad will have tremendous success on this alone.

No, I could have been convinced that the commerce itself of the Empire would develop into a completely different from before.

"Dad, it's the best!"

I shouted, hugging my father's waist tightly.

As if I didn't think he would have understood everything I just explained, my father smiled and hugged my face to face.

"Dad is strengthened, Tia likes it this way?"

However, it was my father who did not understand all of the repercussions this business would bring.

Because this was great.

 

And a person who could make a fantastic combination with my father flashed in my head.

"Daddy daddy!"

"Why is that so, Tia?"

"If you have any questions, ask Mr. Clerivan!"

"Clerivan-nin?"

"Yeah!"

My father, too, knows that he has worked quite closely with Clerivan while doing the Coroi cotton business.

How crisp Clerivan is at the top.

He is the same age as my father, he has strangely much knowledge of the upper part compared to the relatively young age.

But for some reason, my father seemed unwilling.

"Clerivan-nim. Um....."

To my father's ambiguous reaction, I cried out because he was so sweet.

"If I ask for something I don't know, Mr. Clerivan will always kindly teach me!"

The first impression maybe a little cold, but it doesn't hurt!

"Yeah. Just think about it."

My father was compelled to answer my torch, but he seemed reluctant.

I think someone is afraid of Clerivan.

I read my dad's work, and I was walking inside the mansion to go to my business.

Grandpa's schedule does not change unless there is anything special.

The schedule, repeated weekly for decades, remained the same until I helped my grandfather's work.

So, this morning, the second day of the week, is a day when he goes to work alone without meetings.

It meant that it was a relatively leisurely schedule.

I was heading to the office with a relatively light heart.

Until I heard very annoying laughter down the stairs.

"Haha! Estira, you want to go to the academy?"

I stopped and looked down the stairs.

It was a guy named Estira and Jason who seemed a little angry.

"Estira! Do you have any idea what the Imperial Academy is like?"

"Of course, I know it's a hard place to go, senior. But I'm sure someday.......... It's late this year, but someday......."

"Wait. You don't think you can't go because I got a recommendation from Dr. O'Malley?"2

A guy named Jason, who behaved so politely in front of me, and his attitude toward Estira was completely different.

Yes, I thought it was all pretending.

I sat down on the stairs and listened more to the conversation between the two.

"Do you know what my family is doing?"

Jason asked Estira.

However, before Estira responds, she shrugs and answers.

"It's a Plan Company, a Company that specializes in medicine."

Oh, I said that the greasy face looks familiar somewhere.

The image that first urged Astalliu and brought it into the gambling game was the second of the Plan's superiors.

Astalliu, who is much younger, tried to follow him as an older brother.

Later, because Astalliu owed gambling debt, Lombardy's property was handed over to the top of Plan.

My patience was reversed because I tried to take real estate that had been sold at a low price in exchange for Astalliu's debt.

When I think about that time, my anger rises again.

"In the Imperial Academy, the impact that I build up will serve as wings for me in the future. But do you dare go beyond my recommendation?"

Jason laughed at Estira with his head bowed up and down as if it wasn't worth it.

"Know your place, Estira."

At that moment, the words filled with ridicule seemed to get stuck in my heart.

"You don't know your place until the end."

What on earth is that place?

I couldn't say anything to Jason, and it was as if my past was reflected in Estira's standing still

The days when I was always ignored by them, they told me, 'Always know your place', feeling that they have a higher position than anyone in the family, popped into my mind like it just happened yesterday and it made me angry.

What the hell did Estira do wrong, she just said, 'I want to go to the academy', should she listen to such humiliation like that?

I got up from the stairs where I was sitting.

Then I stepped forward to the office.

Originally, I was planning to ask my grandfather to get a letter of recommendation for Estira.

And I didn't even worry too much because I could cover the insufficient research funds from my pocket money.

However, the plan has changed.

Jason Flange's recommendation from Dr. O'Malley. You're going to get a lot of attention at the Academy?

Just when I thought that a man who seemed to have spilled all the oil on his head would use the name Lombardy in front of people and shudder, it seems like it will flip over again.

"I have to change the strategy."

I clenched my fists and turned to the office again.
