Chapter 19: Meeting Grandma Who is the Same as Grandpa
Translator:Masakibluei
Both Isabella and Sauvell are rising their eyebrows like Rovel at the moment they hear Lawrence’s suggestion. Vankriff family is originally a military family, therefore, all the servants, maids and butlers in the family are proficient in combat fighting. Because of this, Lawrence’s suggestion carries a heavy meaning to it.
Sauvell: “……Albert has a big debt of gratitude towards Esteem Father who saved his life. Perhaps, he was trying to approach the Royal Family because of Agriel. “
Although Sauvell evades being straightforward over what he is thinking about the reason behind Albert’s betrayal, everyone else in the room is in agreement with his assumption. However, even if Rovel understands Albert’s reason for doing so, from his point of view, Albert’s betrayal makes his beloved daughter to be targeted by the Royal Family. Since this is the case, Albert’s betrayal has become another story.
Sauvell: “I’m truly sorry, Elder Brother. This happens because I’m so useless.”
Rovel: “…………It’s enough. Well, I’m just going to be more vigilant. At least now I can grandly introduce my wife and daughter.”
Isabella: “Oh My! Introduce them to me soon!! I want to meet my cute granddaughter. After all, that little girl was awful like that woman, and Sauvell could not bring his illegitimate child too!”
Isabella’s remark makes Sauvell falls into depression. Meanwhile, Lawrence who ignores Isabella’s excitement, voluntarily talking to Isabella about Ellen.
Lawrence: “Lord Rovel’s daughter is extremeely lovely. She is a wonderful child who is loved by the Goddess. “
Isabella: “Really!?”
Isabella is surprised when she sees Lawrence’s love-struck face when he talks about Ellen. However, that just inflates her expectations even higher.
Isabella: “When will you bring her!?”
Isabella presses Rovel who still feels agitated. Rovel gives a wry smile as a response to his overly excited mother.
Mother is smiling while saying ‘Uh oh’ as she watches me wearing a very serious expression after watching what happened through the water mirror. I wish Grandmother would reduce her excessive expectations of me. I become frozen stiff when Father calls for me. On the opposite, Mother acts unfazed as usual.
Origin: “It will be alright, my dear Ellen.”
Ellen: “Esteem Mother, aren’t you feel nervous at all!? The other person is your mother-in-law!!”
Origin: “You’ve learned about this thing already? You are really smart~”
Ellen: “It’s not like that! What if she is a scary person!?”
Origin: “It’s fine. If she is such a person, then we do not need to see her for the second time.”
Ellen: “What a light answer! But it’s just like you, Esteem Mother.”
While I am having such a conversation with Mother, Father promptly calls for us to come.
Origin: “My dear~~~!”
In split second, I feel a little bit resentful towards Mother due to her easy-going nature. At the moment I still feel extremely nervous.
Rovel: “Ori, Ellen!!
As Father greets us, both Mother and Fathers hugs me tight in between the two of them.
Ellen: “Esteem Father, you’ve worked hard.”
Rovel: “Aaaa, Ellen~~~”
Father grinds me hard in his embrace while rubbing my head excessively. Father laughs a lot more than usual. Moreover, he laughs in a way that makes me embarrasses. Suddenly, a bouncy delightful voice is raised up from some other place, “Aaah Aah!!”
When I turn my head over at the direction of the voice, I can see Isabella’s eyes are sparkling and her face is glistening brilliantly when she sees my face with my parents.
Oh no!…………my face turns blue instantly.
Rovel: “Mother, I introduce you. This is my wife, Ori and my daughter Ellen.”
Origin: “Long time no see.”
Ellen: “……Nice to meet you. I’m Ellen.”
Even though I introduce myself in a ladylike manner, Mother acts in a bold manner.
Isabella: “Aren’t you Rovel’s spirit………?”
Rovel: “Yes. She is the Spirit Queen.”
Isabella: “Spirit Queen……?”
Rovel: “The creator of all things in the world. The Mother of all creation. Let me introduce once more, Origin.”
Isabella: “What…”
Then Mother holds both of my shoulders and pushes me forward to Isabella who is still in the state of amazement.
Origin: “Your granddaughter is going to be the next Spirit Queen. I would like to say on behalf of the two of us, we will be in your care.”
Obviously, Isabella won’t be able to accept this. After all, his son’s wife is not a human being. As I stand still in front of her, I can see her eyebrows furrow with concern. Her expression makes me reassess myself. I’m fidgeting while waiting for the silent suspense to come to an end.
Isabella notices my presence and bends down to align her gaze right into my eyes while still wearing the same expression on her face.
Isabella: “My granddaughter is the future Spirit Queen…What a wonderful thing!”
Her gentle smiling face resembles Father. As my eyes become much rounder, Isabella grins sweetly while begging, “Can you please call me Grandma?”
Ellen: “Gra…gra.”
Everyone else in the room are watching me silently. Being watched, I shyly mutter, “Grandmoma…” with red cheeks on my face.
(Aaaaa Because I was nervous, I slipped grandmother with grandma together!!)
Even though I’m panicking at the moment, Isabella is shrieking with joy.
Isabella: “Kyaaaa!!”
Her sudden shout makes me jump in shock.
Isabella: “Did you hear? Did you hear that!? Such a cutie!!”
Then Grandma curls me into her arms. My eyes turn even bigger due to the shock.
Lawrence: “That’s right! Lady Ellen is a wonderful and lovely child!!”
Lawrence jumps into the wagon with excitement. I wish he would stop.
Ellen: “Grandpa-…”
Lawrence: “Ho Ho! What is it, Lady Ellen!”
Isabella: “………Lawrence, did you ask her to call you Grandpa? It’s an excellent hobby.”
Lawrence: “Indeed. If Lady Ellen calls me Grandpa like that, I will be rejuvenated!”
Grandpa Lawrence urges me to come over there. While still holding hands with Grandma, we both sit on the sofa. Grandma who sits beside me is starting to be lively and strikes up a conversation. In the meantime, Lawrence is preparing some delicious treats.
Origin: “Ara ara~. I understand the feeling of being popular…”
Ellen: “………Esteem Mother……”
Because of our meeting, the previous tense atmosphere has disappeared. The three people who were previously in a serious mood about Albert, now are losing tension in their shoulders. However, the three of them have not forgotten about Albert matter at all, even Grandma too, has not forgotten.
Isabella: “Lawrence, I understand your feelings very well. What should we do about Albert…”
Grandma’s face turns really cold, which is very similar to Father’s. Looking at her changing facial expression, I become panic.
