The endless afternoon.
I ate snacks that were spread out on the table with the twins.
When I hear a snoring sound from both sides, it seemed that Gillieu and Mayron had fallen asleep earlier.
When my face on a hard table, I looked up at the sky, it was a clear sky without a single cloud.
"How can I overcome the danger"
How, fortunately, I safely delivered the medicine to the Second Prince.
In fact, when I couldn't find the palace where Perez lived, I had somehow prepared a countermeasure to give him an antidote.
Cards that have not been used this time seem to be more useful next time.
"Wow, it's frowning."
I stretched out once and yawned to break my mouth.
Do you think I'm stupid when you see this?
Obviously, there are plans to carry out in the future, and my body is refusing to do anything.
Even my father couldn't see my face any more than before, he was so busy these days.
Sometimes I could have breakfast together, but even then, I couldn't easily talk, it was because I always thinking about something.
Thanks to my busy father, I am still nursed by twins today.
"Wow......"
When Gillieu fell asleep, the blanket that covering him fell to the floor.
I thought I would take it, for a moment, it's annoying.
I turned my head out the window, pretending not to see it.
And already half asleep, rolling my head blankly, trying to figure out what to do next.
"Well, I mean. Ha-am. Now we have to solve Estira's problem."
As far as she can afford, Estira himself can save money and go to the Imperial Academy.
But it was my side that was urgent.
It was my job to help myself to send her to the academy as early as I can and help her focus on her research.
"Let's stay still. When is the deadline for applying for the Academy this year..."
I opened my ear with one little finger and muttered.
The rainy season ended last month, and it's spring.
The moment my thoughts got there, my mind flashed as if I was hit by a big hammer in my head.
"This month is the end!"
Fortunately, it is still the beginning of the month, but it was not the time to be doing this.
I got up from my seat and headed to the door.
"Wow. Tia, where are you going?"
Mayron asked me while rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"......Restroom."
"Okay...... Come quickly. Ha-am."
If I said otherwise, he would have tried to follow me.
Fortunately, Mayron couldn't overcome the drowsiness and closed her eyes again.
I shut the door silently as I watched him fall asleep again.

Durak owner sat on the other side and glanced at Gallahan looking at the documents.
Aside from being the son of Rulac Lombardy, he was a very handsome man.
Especially, it was like that in appearance.
These days, women say that they like delicate and pretty men rather than sloppy men, but Gallahan did exactly that.
He was tall and skinny, so he had a good looking in his clothes, and above all, his gentle smile that he occasionally made was worth a favor to everyone.
For example, among female employees at the top of Durak, Gallahan's popularity was skyrocketing.
However, that was not the reason Durak's owner is seeing Gallahan's attention right now.
Durak's top lord, who was coughing loudly, dulled his dry mouth for no reason.
'You'll find out thoroughly what new project Gallahan Lombardy is planning.'
It was a new order from the Empress.
The Empress Palace, which he visited for greetings, was really an atmosphere where a cold breeze was blowing.
He doesn't know why, but he only guessed it might be related to Gallahan.
'So why did you go outside the eyes of the Empress attention...... .'
He is familiar with the fear of the Empress, kicked his tongue inward toward Gallahan.
Lavini Angenas was a persistent woman who couldn't choose any means or methods to get what she wanted.
He felt a bit of remorse, but he opened his mouth, justifying that he couldn't help it for his own survival.
"Gallahan, you."
"Yes?"
Gallahan, who had been eagerly looking at the sales status of the Coroy cotton textiles this week, raised his head at the call of the owner.
"The personal business that you're thinking about, are you not going to tell me?"
The owner said with a nice smile and deliberately more friendly.
"Ah....... I'm still thinking about what to do with the plan. I'm just thinking about how to implement it."
At Gallahan's words that he was in trouble, the face of the top lord was even wider.
He has found a chance to dig in.
"Since then, I have a much richer experience in life than you do, so let me know. Do you know if I know a good way?"
The words made it plausible, but in fact, it wasn't like words.
What kind of businessman is going to share his ideas with others?
Although he was a person of Angenas and was incompetent, Gallahan, who thought that he was a good person, who gave up Durak, blinked in confusion.
No matter how much he doing the top job for the first time, he can't be aware of that much morality. But what is the reason for the sudden confiscation of the face?
"Hmm."
Gallahan coughed without deliberately hiding what was inconvenient.
He didn't even have to think long.
The Empress's eyes were still vivid as she looked coldly at himself at the dinner table.
I don't know if you were trying to find the information you could find from the Durak company or if you tried to put a spoon on it like the Coroy cotton textile business.
Gallahan said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, I don't think it's time to talk to anyone yet."
"Well, but... ... "
It was Gallahan who also felt a little funny.
It was obvious that the Empress had something to do, but, sadly, the Durak owner wasn't a good person at thinking about people's intentions.
Even now, when Gallahan refused, he was almost crying.
It was proof that there were no good talents besides the Empress.
Gallahan added a word with that smile, who thought he was 'kind'.
"But one thing is certain, if it succeeds, it will be a business that will overturn everything in the Empire."
Perhaps the Empress who heard this news will be sweeter.
Gallahan laughed more kindly as it seemed to repay a little for making Tia scared that day.

From the residence of Shananet and the twins, I headed straight to Clerivan.
Fortunately, Clerivan, sitting in his office, opened the door to me while being a little puzzled.
"What are you doing here?"
"I have one question."
To see my face, Clerivan raised his eyebrows as he moved the papers that were forming the tower on the desk aside.
It seemed that he was curious.
"How do I go to the Imperial Academy, sir?"
"Academy...... is this the Imperial Academy?"
Clerivan looked confused.
He asked while taking off the rimless glasses that Clerivan was wearing for a while.
"Do you want to go to the academy?"
Then he even frowned.
"Imperial Academy is a six-year system, and once you enter it, you can't come out except for a once-a-year vacation, a closed......."
"No! Not me!"
The threat, pretending to be advice, spoke quickly before continuing.
"Because other than me, someone wanted to go to the Imperial Academy."
"Aha."
Suddenly, Clerivan's sharp momentum softens.
Clerivan, who leaned against the back of the chair in a more comfortable look, asked with only curiosity left.
"My lady asks me how to get into the academy instead. Who is it?"
I wanted to talk about my personal life, but I replied because I couldn't hide the situation where I was asking Clerivan about things.
"It's Estira. He wants to go to the academy and study medicine properly."
"You're talking about Dr. Estira O'Malley's youngest disciple."
Clerivan, who seemed to be knocking on a calculator in his head, nodded.
"If she is, she will probably be able to enter. Probably, if I tell the Lord, the enrollment fee and tuition will be easily solved. The only thing left is the entrance exam, but I'm afraid to see a very basic literacy......"
"Estira is not a student, but a researcher. She has to go in?"
At my resolute words, Clerivan tilted his head.
Oops, I spoke too hard without knowing.
I groaned quickly.
"So Estira said she wanted to do that!"
"Hmm......."
Clerivan, who looked at me with suspicious eyes for a moment, said.
"If she wants to be a researcher rather than a new student, the story is a little different. The requirements are much more demanding."
Well. It couldn't be easy because it's the Imperial Academy.
Besides, Estira is not an academy graduate.
I swallowed gulp and sharpened my ears.
"Once a research student needs a lot more money than a student, it's because he or she has to pay most of the money that goes into doing personal research."
"And what?"
"And she needs a letter of recommendation."
"A letter of recommendation?"
He said it was money somehow, but the letter of recommendation was not something I could write.
"Who's recommendation do I need?"
"I do not know. First of all, the recommendation from Dr. O'Malley, who has been teaching Estira, is the easiest to get."
I nodded, recalling the face of Dr. O'Malley, who didn't seem to be so picky.
"Dr. O'Malley is the most well-known as Lombardy's primary physician, so if Estira receives a recommendation and submits an application for admission as a Lombardy Scholar, Academie will give permission immediately."
After all, Lombardy is the best.
There was no place where the influence could not reach.
Clerivan continued to explain to me, thinking that he should protect this family no matter what.
"In fact, the best thing is the recommendation of My lord or Broschl, who once served as the vice president of the academy, but it will be difficult because they are both very careful about writing recommendations."
This is Dr. O'Malley, who has taught Estira directly.
He know best how smart and passionate she is for herbal medicine, so getting a letter of recommendation won't be difficult.
I thought so.
"Thank you for letting me know! I will then go to deliver this news to Estira, sir!"
I nodded to my belly button and left Clerivan's office.
"You need to hurry."
When I arrived at Dr. O'Malley's laboratory, I immediately understood the meaning of Clerivan's smile, who had laughed ominously for some reason.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Haha. Please go and work hard."
What is this?
Standing at the door, I hardened.
A greasy man, as if oiled from head to toe, was greeting Dr. O'Malley with a fierce smile. (Hair oil maybe)
"Yes. I will go ahead and study hard so as not to harm my teacher's reputation!"
In the back of the friendly looks, Estira was looking at the two people, smile a bitter smile.
In my ears, who was still grasping the situation, the voice of a man shouting came into my ears.
"Thank you so much for writing the letter of recommendation!"
