In This Life, I Will Be The Lord (I Shall Master This Family) - Chapter 270

“A voucher for a special room?”

What is this all of a sudden.

Me and Perez looked at each other blankly.

“We’re having an event this time! It just so happens that you two are the 100th passenger on the cruise today!”

“Congratulations!”

I almost laughed at how bright the smiles of the two cruise workers were.

“Then could you wait here for a moment?”

“I will check to see if the special room is ready.”

The staff who said so quickly walked away.

“A special room voucher, didn’t this kind of thing happen last time?”

“This kind of thing?”

“Why, last time at an inn in Arcadia. The innkeeper changed the room we rented to the best room because there was a leak.”

“Aa.”

Perez nodded as if he remembered.

“Lucky things are good things.”

Is it really just a lucky thing?

It was when I thought so.

Just then, I heard a conversation between a pair of men and women passing behind us.

“It feels like a dream to be able to go on a honeymoon to the East.”

“We’re lucky you got a cruise ticket, aren’t we?”

Honeymoon.

As soon as I heard that word, I realized it.

“Perez, maybe this…”

“Is it the work of the Pellet Top?”

As expected, Perez noticed.

I glanced around and spoke in small voice.

“Yes, I think winning this event is a gift from Violet.”

It was Violet, who was particularly interested in the wedding of me and Perez, whenever I saw her from time to time on the occasion of the Pellet business.

And she was more regretful than I was that Perez and I couldn’t go on our honeymoon because of our job.

“Maybe it’s Violet’s mind to enjoy even a fake honeymoon to the fullest.”

However, since there is a risk of exposing our identity to take care of it openly, she must have given a special room to me and Perez in this way.

“I’ll have to go back and send a special gift to the top owner.”

“Well, that’s too much.”

That’s what I said, but when I get back to Lombardi, I’d like to say thank you to Violet separately.

Surprised by the questionable luck, I now have enough time to look around.

“As expected, it’s lively.”

The large wooden cruise ship was crowded with people.

People loading and unloading things, people seeing someone off, and people leaving.

Everyone was moving busily together.

“The wind is nice.”

The air that was blowing seemed as light as the excited people.

Is it because of the cool breeze?

My heart started pounding a little too.

“This is the special room.”

The staff said and opened the door directly.

“Ooh.”

Not bad.

No, it was great.

No matter how big the cruise is, I thought how spacious the cabin would be.

“The windows are too big.”

Warm sunlight was pouring in through the large window in front of the living room.

It was the highest class room, so the view was good.

When the journey began, the scenery to be seen through this window was already high enough that I was looking forward to it.

In addition, furniture and decorations filling the interior were found to be of the finest quality at a glance.

‘All right, I’m very satisfied.’

It was a very satisfying sight both as a guest staying in a special room and as the owner of this cruise business.

“Then have a happy trip.”

The staff who greeted me so politely went out of the room.

I slowly continued to look around the room with my hands behind my back.

“There are separate bedroom and bathroom.”

On either side of the living room were the bedroom and bathroom that were wide open to welcome guests.

Leaving behind the luxurious marble bathroom, I looked quietly into the bedroom.

“There’s only one bed.”

Yeah, it can’t be two.

I swallowed a sigh that was about to come out and looked at Perez.

Perez put down the luggage bag he was carrying on one side of the room, despite the employee’s recommendation, and was looking out of the window.

The dazzling sunlight of the beach made his dyed blonde hair look almost like silver, and his red eyes overlooking the harbor shone like brilliant rubies.

Ha, you’re handsome.

Not because he was my man, but objectively, his appearance was unrealistic.

It was like looking at a painting even though I was looking at it with my own two eyes.

I watched it for a moment and then turned to bed again.

It was a large bed where four adults could sleep.

A white sheet mixed with silk was laid on it, and it looked so soft that I wanted to throw myself right away.

But that’s not what matters.

‘Okay, tonight!’

The atmosphere between the two of us has been awkward for a while since that night when we were drunk.

As a few days passed, it naturally came back to the way it was before.

Still, I couldn’t help but think of that night all of a sudden. There were regrets, but more than anything else, I kept thinking of Perez, who had a hard time smiling for me.

After looking at Perez’s back and the bed several more times, I finally made up my mind.

‘What more hesitation?’

My fiance is so handsome.

It’s not like me to just stare and hesitate.

By the way, Violet also created such a good environment.

“Perez.”

“Yes, Tia.”

Perez immediately turned around and answered my call.

His soft smile on the sculpture-like face makes my fists tense.

It’s tonight, tonight.

I strengthened my will and put on the wide-brimmed hat I was holding in my hand.

“Would you like to go take a look on the deck?”

From now on, I’m going to create a romantic atmosphere. (TN: Ah yes, Tia. How much longer do you want to make us wait?)

***

There were already several people on the deck where the cool breeze was blowing.

Most of them were couples who came on a honeymoon like us, and they had happy faces together.

“Let’s go over there.”

Me and Perez found an empty place and stood in front of the deck railing.

That was then.

Boo-!

The ship began to move slowly with a long horn.

“Somehow, there are a lot of people out there. When it sound like this, it must have been time for departure!”

I wasn’t the only one who was excited.

“It’s departure!”

“A ship this big is really moving!”

People around us all burst into admiration and cheers.

I leaned slightly against the railing and looked down.

The rest of the people in the harbor were waving at us.

It was to pray for a cruise and to reach the East safely.

“Ah, those people.”

Among them, there were two employees who had announced the winner of the event a while ago.

As if they had been looking at me all the time, our eyes met immediately.

Then the two slowly bowed their backs and began to greet.

“As expected, they knew.”

They must have heard who I was from the beginning.

I waved my hand to them in gratitude.

Meanwhile, the mall was getting farther and farther away.

Cruise began to move along the river as fast as its massive body.

There were fewer and fewer people on both sides of the river, and the green landscape of mountains and fields spread out.

“Oh, pretty.”

In the sunlight, the surface of the river shimmered as if it had been sprinkled with jewels.

“Look at that sparkle over there, Perez.”

I looked back at Perez and asked.

“It’s really pretty, right?”

Perez looked briefly at the side where my finger was pointing and turned to me again.

“…yeah, pretty.”

Perez smiled loosely in response.

It was time for me to smile too.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the hat I was wearing flew away.

I instinctively reached out to grab the flying hat.

Fortunately, the hat was quickly grabbed by my fingertips, but the center of my body, which was holding the railing, swayed greatly.

“Oops.”

But there was no leaning out of the railing.

Something hard wrapped around my waist and I felt someone’s body heat behind my back.

And before I could even realize what had happened, a low voice reached the tip of my ear.

“You have to be careful.”

I was more surprised than when the hat flew away.

As I tilted my head upwards, I saw Perez with a handsome face slightly frowned.

“It’s dangerous, Tia.”

I could feel Perez’s heart beating with my back.

Was he surprised that I might fall out of the railing?

The problem is that my heart is starting to pound like crazy, too.

It was difficult to be held in Perez’s arms any longer.

“Th-thank you.”

I tried to speak in a calm voice and slowly pushed Perez’s chest away.

For a moment, his gaze rested on my two hands.

“…I’ll leave the hat in the room.”

Perez, who said so, turned his back with the hat I was holding.

I stood still for a moment, looked at the back of the guy walking away, and then muttered in a small voice.

“Oh, why am I so nervous?”

It is not for a day or two that I have seen Perez’ handsome face or touched that solid body.

But maybe it was because of tonight’s plans, I couldn’t really calm myself down next to him.

“Whoa, calm down, calm down.”

I took a deep breath and reviewed tonight’s plans one by one.

Then I heard the music.

“…… here you are, holding hands with me…”

“Oh, this song.”

It was definitely a familiar song.

I took a step towards the direction of the song.

It was on the other side of the deck.

As I walked a little bit, I saw a man singing a song while plucking an instrument with a singing voice that gradually became clearer.

A sky-high physique, long ponytails, and a delicate appearance.

“It’s Mortega.”

Mortega Loupe was such a famous singer that even I, who had never been interested in music in my previous life, had heard of it.

I can’t believe that Mortega is singing in a cruise I own.

I sat down and started listening to Mortega’s songs.

“……We will wake up together in the morning and have the same dream at night. And show your smile on the flowers I give you. Always.”

It is also a song suitable for cruises with many newlyweds.

When the song ended, the people who were listening to Mortega’s song all clapped in unison.

Some were moved and wiped their tears with a handkerchief.

Perhaps it was the last song, and I saw people putting money into the box in front of them.

It was an opportunity.

I also approached him and put the silver coin into the box and talked to him.

“Thank you for the song.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you…”

Mortega stopped and talking as he greeted me.

Somewhere with a blank face.

Was performing very tiring?

“Are you all right?”

“Yes, yes!”

Mortega nodded his head broadly and bowed his head in greeting.

“Thank you for listening to my song.”

Until a while ago, he was someone who sang leisurely while looking at the audience.

Apparently, in real life, he was a shy person.

I asked with a smile to make such Mortega comfortable.

“May I know your name and the title of the song you sang a while ago?”

“Of- of course. The song’s title is “The Pledge of Love” and my name is Mortega Loupe.”

As expected, it’s you.

If he is the Mortega Loupe I know, he will become very famous in the next few years.

And the Lombardi Scholarship Foundation was able to save those years of hard work.

“Mr. Mortega.”

So when I started to make an offer, Mortega spoke first.

“Can I know your name too?”

“Yes? Ah, my name. My name is… Larita Gloa.”

In fact, I almost said my real name as usual.

However, Mortega’s reaction was a bit strange.

“Ah, Larita… Miss Larita.”

He mumbled the name I told him with a blank face a few times.

“Miss Larita, what brings you to the East?”

He’s asking a question in a completely different direction from what I was going to say.

Yeah, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get to know each other a little before making a formal offer.

“I am traveling to the Luman estate.”

“You’re traveling! Luman at this time of year is so beautiful.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

After a few conversations like that, Mortega asked me carefully.

“Then do you have any companions? If you are traveling alone…”

“Oh, I am.”

I was about to talk about Perez.

“Honey.”

It was an unfamiliar word with a familiar voice.

When I turned around, I saw Perez walking towards me smiling.

But something was a little strange.

I’m sure he’s smiling.

That face was strangely dangerous.

“Honey, what are you doing here?”

“…what?”

What did he just say?

Perez pulled me in his arms gently, not paying attention to my embarrassment.

And he whispered.

“I’ve been looking for you fora while, honey.”
