TLS : Shenks

Perez has left for the Academy.

It was a few days ago.

Except that there is no reason for me to go to the palace anymore, my daily life has not changed much.

It was a series of days where I took care of Pellet's business and sometimes stopped by my grandfather's office to check if he was taking medicine well and ate together.

My father was away on a business trip to check the additional clothing branch in the South.

My father was away, and the twins are busy training.

Having already been to Pellet in the morning, I was on my way to the office to have lunch with my grandfather.

Larane, who was supposed to eat together with me, decided to meet at the restaurant.

I think I'm a little bored without Perez.......

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, that morning came to mind.

"It's because he has a pretty face!"

Oh, I don't think so.

Perez is smart, uses swords well, and has a nice personality.

Anyway, that day I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even scold him and just let it go.

"The next time I see you, I'll give you a spanking."3

I'm going to give it to you hard.3

If you misbehave with that pretty face, the empire will probably go berserk.

As I walked with that thought, I was in front of the office.

knock, knock

I knocked but strangely there was no answer. I'm sure he know I'm coming.

I tapped again, but there was no word.

by any chance

At the moment, my heart sank.

"Grandpa?"

I knew it was rude, but I opened the office door.

And as soon as I got inside, I could find my grandfather reading something in front of the desk.

Oh, thank God.

I swept my chest down inside.

"Grandpa, are you busy?"

I stood in the doorway and called one more time, and my grandfather was surprised and took his eyes off the paper.

"Oh, Tia's here. What are you doing there without coming in? Come here."

Fortunately, my grandfather didn't seem to care much about me opening the door without permission.

"Are you very busy?"

"Hmm. I've been feeling a little bit of that lately."

grandfather replied, smiling but pressing hard around his eyes.

"Does your eyes hurt?"

"Huh? It's nothing. When you reach grandfather's age, your eyes become dim. I don't know about little Tia yet."

Grandfather said so and patted my head.

But I carefully examined my grandfather's complexion. I'm glad if it's just presbyopia.

In my previous life, my grandfather was the first to lose sight due to the aftereffects of the disease.

Knowing that, I can't just laugh like my grandfather.

"Did you have breakfast, grandpa?"

"Yes, I did."

"Not roughly, but properly?"

Grandpa pats his short beard and avoids my gaze.

"So you didn't take the nutritional supplements Estira gave you?"

"I was thinking about having lunch and eating."

Phew.

I felt like sighing.

At times like this, it is frustrating that I am the only one who knows the future.

When I put on a glum face, my grandfather began to sweat.

"Until yesterday, I've been eating everything, Tia. So don't be so upset......."

"I'm not upset that you didn't take the nutritional supplements. No, that's right, but......."

"But what?"

Grandfather looked into my face anxiously and asked.

"It's sad that my grandfather has to work so hard. I wish there was someone who could help you relax a little."

There were many people who maintained a household position until they were as old as grandfather.

But usually they had the heir next to them to help. .

It is to learn how to lead the family step by step by helping them with their work.

But my grandfather still took care of everything by himself.

It was because Viese was constantly trying to help him, but my grandfather had not allowed it yet.

So as the year goes by, the burden on my grandfather is increasing.

In his previous life, it was long after that my grandfather reluctantly began to teach Viese about the family's work.

Perhaps until then, grandfather was waiting for someone to stand out, not Viese, to lead this family.

However, even after finally winning grandfather's trust, Viese's ability was not enough.

That's why I had to work next to my grandfather like a secretary and fill the void of what Viese did.

"I didn't know that our Tia gives so much thought about her grandfather. Oh, pretty girl."

Grandfather, who didn't know what was inside my mind, just patted my head with a happy face.

The benevolent smile overlapped with the old man's face I saw in my previous life, so I was a little emotional.

Don't worry, grandpa.

I'll ease your burden when I grow up.

"Grandpa, let's go have lunch!"

First of all, the priority was to protect my grandfather's health as much as possible until then.

"Huh, yeah. Let's do it."

I took my grandfather's hand and headed to the dining room.

"Larane asked me to join her for dinner. I'm sure they've arrived at the dining room first by now and are waiting. Maybe Craney too."

"I see. How's Craney doing these days?"

"Belsach that basta--...... No, I think it's great that Belsach doesn't bother him anymore. He comes to my study almost every day to borrow books."

"Yeah, that's a relief. You take good care of Craney so he doesn't feel lonely......."

It happened in the blink of an eye.
