Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 118

Was the vacation this long? – 4

After receiving the deputy chief’s report, several more days passed, and the situation became unbearable. Now is the time to return to the system. The reason why I came to Yeongji in the first place was that my mother asked me to see her face for a while, and it was almost a bonus that the other party joined. If there’s no reason to stay longer, it’s better to go back to the islands.

To be honest, the county of Tylglechen isn’t even famous for tourism, so it’s difficult to stay there. Right now, the group of victims who were tossed around by Ryutis’ 5 night play are silent before their eyes are turned over, but you don’t know when these idiots will call out to go out.

“I’m going to go back to the system soon.”

“Then I’ll tell the others!”

So I entrusted Louise with the news. No way, Louise said let’s go to Jedo, but he wouldn’t dare to stay in the territory. Such an uncooperative guy has no right to join the confectionery club.

The only thing that bothered her was Marghetta, who agreed to return to the Islands. She seemed to be a little disappointed, but couldn’t she stay in the manor for 100 days and 100 days? After all, she has to go back someday, so she seems to have meekly agreed.

“Going back?”

“Yes. They are staying in the Empire for travel, so it’s difficult to stay in one place.”

“I see.”

My mother also nodded her head without much reaction. The eldest son whom she called for the wedding talk is defending the marriage talk by citing his bureaucratic life, so there is no reason to hold it anymore.

Just as suddenly as I came to the territory, I ended up returning to the system as suddenly as possible. Isn’t life originally a series of sudden surprises?

“You have to eat it every day. If you eat it irregularly, it won’t have much effect.”

“Oh, yes.”

Although this was also sudden.

On the morning of returning to the island, my mother unexpectedly threw a large amount of presents. Following her mother Ma Zhonggong’s potion, this time, is it her mother’s real health food? It’s too much of a gift.

Even the lady-in-waiting, not just a lady-in-waiting, handed it to me while explaining each item she had brought. They said that when to eat this is effective, when to eat this, when to eat this is good, etc.

“Tell the butler if you think you’ll forget. Then the butler will give it to you every time.”

“Okay.”

When I glanced away, Erich was barely holding the growing number of items in his arms. I was going to take care of it, no, share it with Erich, but that would be difficult.

Then, following my gaze, my mother turned to Erich and changed her target to Erich.

“Academy practices are intense, so be sure to eat them.”

At those words, Erich blankly nodded her head. With that amount, I think I could eat it every day until I graduate.

‘Is this a mother’s heart?’

Her heart is moved by this kind of consideration for the filial children who don’t even communicate well.

‘If only it had been like this before.’

Although she honestly thinks she would have been better had she been like this even before Erich entered her academy. Did she realize her importance only after her child, who was always in front of her, left for a distant academy?

Still, where is this even now? It doesn’t seem like Gaju will change over time, but Erich will be happy if she becomes a kind parent even if she is a mother.

“I’ll go now. I’ll be in touch often.”

After confirming that the family head and her staff had finished greeting her, she bowed her head to her mother. Yes, let’s keep in touch from time to time. Seeing that I don’t contact her mother, Erich doesn’t move either.

She was at a loss when she first came to the manor with her idiots, but at the end she was able to return to her light heart. If the relationship between Erich and her mother had improved, that alone would have been enough reason to come to the manor.

***

Go back. The children who want to hold on to sleep for one more day, but cannot bear to hold on, return.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry. Now I can barely laugh and have a normal conversation with them. I want to enjoy that happiness more.

However, I was able to suppress that regret and let it go. Thanks to the confidence that the happiness I enjoyed right now will not disappear like a bubble but can be enjoyed again.

‘Come back.’

Those kids just need to come back. Although I left home for a while because of my position as a government official and student, I will come back one day.

And then you can enjoy happiness again. If you are obsessed with the now and stubborn, the relationship that has been restored will deteriorate again.

‘Let’s wait.’

The children were neglected for nearly 20 years. It is a short time of less than 20 days to look at those children properly. However, during that moment, they achieved a relationship restoration that they could not even dream of.

I shouldn’t act too hastily, even for the sake of the children who came to me thinking of me as a mother even if I couldn’t be called a mother, or for the sake of my daughter-in-law who helped me restore relationships with my children.

It’s not because of my ability, but because of those kids. So, I just need to proceed carefully, little by little.

“Mrs.”

“Billy.”

While watching the backs of the children walking away, Billy approached.

I kept my promise and waited until Carl said he would return on his own. I was a little embarrassed to remember shaking Billy’s collar in the process.

“I’m glad I did what I was worth getting caught.”

I quietly lowered my eyes at Billy’s words, as if I had read his thoughts. No matter how excited and angry he was with Billy, it was too radical.

Still, if I go back then, I have the confidence to catch it again. How could you say such harsh words, sending those children who were barely talking to each other back? I couldn’t even connect Karl and his daughter-in-law.

‘Unusually at that age.’

As I lost my thoughts as a daughter-in-law, regret and pride rose again. I wanted to be engaged to Carl, but I failed. But how can I blame it. He is a child who is full of heart to devote himself to the country.

Didn’t you already know that she was a deep and mature child? She didn’t know that she would aim for a government official with her status as a princess, but she was happy with that.

Of course, as Carl’s mother, if her daughter-in-law chose to marry Carl rather than her bureaucrat, she would. It’s a problem because she couldn’t bear to say such a thing from her position, who was favored by her daughter-in-law.

If Carl persuades her daughter-in-law to marry her out of the bureaucracy, if she comes straight to Tylglechen after graduation—

‘I have to teach the hostess.’

She is a child prepared to become a bureaucrat, so she will learn it soon.

***

The gap between her being at home in the morning and working at lunchtime was more heartbreaking than I thought. Even more so because the house is not a Jedo mansion, but a manor. It feels like going to work even on holidays.

‘Anyway, annoying people.’

This is all because of the former Earl Horfeld. Even if the nobleman hadn’t suddenly retired, I wouldn’t have to go to work.

“Is there anything wrong with your health?”

“Yes, he said he enjoyed hunting yesterday too.”

“Correction.”

She brushed her hair roughly at the conductor’s calm reply. If you are a person whose health has deteriorated enough to hand over the title to 19-year-old Soga-joo, you will never be able to do extreme sports such as hunting. What is it really? Did you retire just to play?

If the title was officially passed on, it would have already been approved by the emperor, but apart from approval, shouldn’t we figure out why? Maybe he was plotting something or had a backdoor deal with another noble.

But no matter how much I look, I can’t pinpoint anything. I really want to rest, so there is a high probability that I retired.

‘I’m envious.’

My role model from now on is the former Earl Horfeld.

Anyway, I passed on the urgent escape of Count Horfeld and picked up other documents. The aftermath after the breakout is more important than the reason for the breakout, which doesn’t come out no matter how much you look.

“You seem to have the ability.”

And the aftermath was calmer than expected. The Imperial Council also wriggled due to the sudden change of members, but then calmed down again.

“I have almost succeeded to the previous generation’s shares. It seems that I have discussed with his aides before retiring.”

“I guess so.”

It doesn’t matter if you make a surprise public announcement, but if you keep your retirement a secret even within your own faction, you’re just an idiot.

Looking closely at the contents, the forces and aides from the previous generation were maintained, and at most three or four younger subordinates were added. The amount of rice cakes given to other lawmakers to commemorate his ascension as a lawmaker was exactly the expected amount.

In addition, an appropriate level of friend money was deposited into the inspection department. It’s okay compared to what I was worried about. In case you get crazy with young talent and say, ‘I won’t give you any back money!’ I was wondering what would happen if we entered the meta.

‘No problem.’

There is no problem to the extent that I feel unfair about going to work. It’s fortunate, but what is this subtle sad feeling?

I turned my gaze to the conductor after rubbing the stiff back of my neck. I was in a hurry to work today because of Count Horfeld, but since I’m here, if there’s something I need to take care of, I’ll take care of it and go.

“Is there anything special?”

At those words, the conductor shuddered and carefully opened his mouth.

“Director 2 contacted me first.”

f*ck, I just poked it and something came right out.

My lips seemed to dry up when I heard that it was a call from Section 2 who had been dispatched to the north.

“I asked for more alcohol.”

“Damn it.”

I’m an idiot for worrying.

“…Let it go.”

“Okay.”

I immediately had the urge to contact the 2nd section manager and spit out insults, but I managed to hold it back.

Yes, I have to send it. I’m having a hard time in the north, but I have to do that much. I’m rolling in Korea, but if I had asked for that, I wouldn’t have let it go.

Now, in a situation where I have to report to the minister face-to-face, it’s just unfortunate that the last thing I heard was bullsh*t from section 2.
