After I heard the whole story, I started to worry about Sauvell.
Ellen: âPoor Uncle SauvellâŠâŠâ
Seeing that I feel dejected, Father caresses my head.
Father also has it tough. Even though he finally went back to his family, itâs unavoidable that his relationship with his brother will become strained because of this. Father does not want this to happens. For the whole time, he unconsciously sighs so many times while pondering about the matter.
Ellen: âEsteem Father, why donât you visit Grandma when Aria is not there?â
Rovel: âWhen Aria is not there?â
Ellen: âBecause, if this keeps going on, wonât Uncle Sauvell get in trouble? We are supposed to help him with the business. This will spoil our initial plan.â
Rovel: âYeahâŠâŠâ
Ellen: âIf Aria find you, you should instantly teleport to run away!â
Rovel: âHa ha haâ
Because I suggest the idea in a light tone, it sounds like I am proposing him to do a game of tag with Aria. Thus, Father breaks out in laughter when he heard my suggestion.
Rovel: âYou are right. Breaking family ties due to this matter are not worth it. But I had warned Sauvell about it though.â
Ellen: ââŠâŠâŠâŠEsteem Father, you had realized her feelings way before?â
Rovel: âItâs a given. I have been dealing with this kind of thing since way in the pastâŠâŠâŠâ
When I hear Fatherâs words, I am reminded of Agrielâs obsession. In the past, even though Father felt repulse of Agriel, she insistently chased after Father.
Rovel: âAh butâŠâŠI had declared that I wonât come back anymore. So itâs kind of difficult to go backâŠâŠâŠâ
Ellen: âI will accompany you!!â
I raise my hand up spiritedly which shock Father and Mother.
Ellen: âI want to see Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Sauvel~! Aa, and Uncle Albert too.â
Rovel: âUgh ku ku âŠâŠâ
The moment I mention Albert, Father spitefully smirks. However, I pretend to be ignorant and continue to press him.
Ellen: âEsteem Father, Esteem Father! I want to see Grandma--!!â
I hit Fatherâs belly repeatedly and he finally gives in while making a bitter smile.
Rovel: âEllenâŠâŠyou are way too smart.â
Origin: âFufufufu. She is exactly like you.â
Father realizes that I voluntarily make up an excuse for him to go home. Thus, he becomes slightly sad. Meanwhile, Mother who is watching our interaction is giving me a parental affectionate gaze.
Ellen: âEsteem Father, letâs go tomorrow or as soon as possible!â
âEh, thatâs too soonâŠâŠâŠEven though Father has said to many times that I wonât return, but in regards of my daughterâs willâŠâŠâŠâ, said Rovel with a bitter smile.
This time, I turn my face to Father with a serious face.
Ellen: âIf we put it on hold, Aunt Aria might be killed by the Royal Family.â
When they heard my words, both Mother and Fatherâs eyes are widening and they holding their breath.
Ellen: âThat Malicious Man definitely wonât let off the person who makes Father wonât return to the human realm. â
As I said that, I affirm my honest opinion to Father.
At the moment, Father is standing still in front of the gate of his family home while carrying me on his arms. The gardener who sees us by a chance, rushes to call Lawrence. While ignoring the gardener's reaction, Father straightforwardly steps into the residence.
Lawrence: âLord Rovel!! FUOOOO Lady Ellen-!!â
Ellen: âGrandpa! Grandpa-!â
When I see Lawrence, I excitedly struggle from Fatherâs arms. Father wryly smiles and lets me down. At the moment I am being put on the ground, I scream that I miss Lawrence and jump into his arms. As I am being held tightly by Lawrence, I can smell his nice body odor.
Lawrence: âItâs been a while, Lady Ellen.â
Ellen: âGrandpa, I want to see you!â
At the sight of my smiling face, Lawrence instantly turns into a foolish Grandpa mode.
Ellen: âI was upset when Father said that he wonât return here!â
Actually, I intend to get mad when I said that but my childish appearance does not make me look menacing. Instead, it looks adorable in the eyes of Fatherâs, Lawrenceâs, and the rest of the servants. All of them are affectionately watching me letting out my anger.
I turn to nag at Father, but he is his doting parent mode. If he is being like this, the conversation wonât go on. Itâs no good.
Ellen: âI want to see Grandma!â
Since I repeatedly beg to see Grandma, Lawrence guides us into a room.
Maid: âSir Lawrence, what should we do about Mistress?â
Lawrence: âTell her to stay in the room with her daughter and donât leave the room because Lord Rovel is visiting. â
Maid: âI accept the order.â
As soon as Lawrence finishes his order to the maid, I rush up to him.
Ellen: âGrandpa, grandpa. I want to see Aunt Aria.â
The maids are surprised by my remark. I tell Lawrence that there is something that I want to say to Aunt Aria which Lawrence accepts and proceeds to call her. Then he turns to Father to ask him âwhat is going on?â However, Father is in a bad mood to answer him. He is upset that I suddenly call for Aria. I am surprised to see him like this. Apparently, he really hates her to the point he does not want to see her at all.
With a disgruntled look, Rovel says,â Call Sauvell too. We are going to talk about the Royal Family.â
After seeing his reaction, Lawrence grabs some kind of understanding. Without asking for any further explanation, he also calls for Isabella.
We are waiting in the living room instead of the guest room when suddenly the door is opened with a lively sound. When I am surprised and terrified by the sound, Isabella dashingly appears from the door.
Isabella: âEllen dear!! I miss you so much!!â
Ellen: âGrandma-!!â
Father makes a wry smile when he sees us hugging each other.
Lawrence: âThe Mistress has gone to call for Master. They will join us toon.â
Then Lawrence excitedly start to prepare some tea. Meanwhile, I am still being held tightly by Grandma. Even when we sit on the sofa, she refuses to let me go.
Ellen: âGyumuuuu-â
Isabella: âAaa, Ellen dear, I miss you so much.â
She keeps grinding and crushing my head while saying so. Itâs painful.
Rovel: âMother, Ellen is hurting.â
Isabella: âAh! Iâm sorry, Ellen dear. Grandma is too overjoyedâŠâŠâŠâ
As Isabella loosen her arms, I finally able to breathe. Then I think to myself that all the members of this family truly share the same traits. When I think that someday I will be squished to death, I unconsciously look into the distance.
Ellen: âI also want to see Grandma!â
Hearing this makes Isabella starts to cry,âEllen dearâŠâŠâŠâ
Ellen: âE!? Grandma!??â
Her cry catches me off guard and throws me into disorder. Before I am able to console her, Isabella takes out a handkerchief and wipes out her tears as she continues to speak bitterly.
Isabella: âAâŠâŠI thought that our family has become livelier since Rovel finally came back, butâŠâŠ Just when things are going better? Grandma is really sad.â
Looking at Isabellaâs dejected face, I hug her to console her.
At the moment when her eldest son finally came back home, she heard the news about his marriage. At first, she was surprised, but happily accepted the news. After that, her younger son remarried with his long-time lover after getting divorce with Agriel. Just at the moment when she thought that happiness has smoothly come into the family, Sauvellâs wifeâs condemnation was brought to light.
The next thing happened; Father who was mad about the issue had declared that he wonât ever return again. His proclamation shattered the image of happiness that she had on her mind and she became incredibly sad.
