I'll be the Matriarch in This Life

Ch 6

"Tia, what would you like to have as a birthday present?"

her father asked her when she was watching the servants take out the breakfast bowls.

As a result of a very careful search last night, Tia was able to find out that she was still seven years old and had about a month left on my eighth birthday.

"A teddy bear! A very big teddy bear, I want to have it!"

she shouted out loud, picking a gift that a seven-year-old child would want.

"But don't you hate dolls?"

"Ah-."

'I ruined it.'

Since she was a child, she wasn't happy with dolls whether they resemble humans or animals.

she felt like they were alive and moving at night.

her father looked at her as if it was a little strange, and sweat was flowing behind her back.

"Now, when I think about it. I think dolls are not good."

"Then what would you like to buy?"

"Hmm."

Tia didn't have an idea.

What she wanted as a gift is a villa in a quiet place or a manor where you can live with money for life?

But she can't ask for something like that.

At that time, her father clapped his hands as if he had a good idea.

"Okay! How about a horse, Tia?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you take a foal about one-year-old and put it on and raise it from now on, it will be a great horse by the time you are an adult."

"What."

She couldn't answer for a moment.

Horses are expensive.

Depending on how many horses they own, it was an important asset that could measure the size of the owner's or the owning group's property.

The ransom of a horse was the same, but more important was the cost of maintenance.

If you weren't going to feed them and get rid of the excrement, you'd have to hire someone to do the job for you, and you also needed a stable.

There was nothing to say about the vast land where horses could run freely.

Even the average noble family buys horses for their children, but it was a perfect gift for the 18th birthday of adulthood.

"When I was only your age, I received my first horse as a birthday present."

But this is Lombardy.

Such general economic standards were not used.

He is usually a very modest and gentle person, so Tia sometimes forget it, but her father is also a member of the Lombardy family.

With that thought, she stared at her father.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that, Tia?"

"It's nothing. But Dad, I don't think a foal would be a good idea."

she didn't really want to learn horse riding, so she came up with an excuse to refuse.

"You do not want that?"

"It's only one-year old, but have to seperate from its mother, it would be very sad."

"Tia."

Oh my.
