Chapter 15: Mother, That is Outtt!

Translator: Masakibluei freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

When I’m watching the whole ordeals with Mother through the water mirror, there is a person coming out to substitute the pale King to handle the situation. For some reason, I realize that the person who comes to substitute the King has some unpleasant air surrounding him.

Ellen: “Esteem Mother, who is this malicious man?”

Even though the man is apparently the King’s son, he is able to deliberately invoke his surroundings to sympathize with him. Watching him makes me feel totally disgusted.

Mother realizes that my facial expression at the moment closely resembles father’s expression which is shown on the water mirror. Both of us feel disgusted by that person. As such, mother laughs while saying, “You are really Rovel’s daughter!”

Origin: “This man is the Crown Prince. He might be the next King. Your father hates him since a long time ago.”

Ellen: “Is there some kind of black aura around that person?”

When I said that Mother looked very surprise.

Origin: “You can see that? Already?”

Ellen: “What is that black thing?”

Origin: “Hmm……It might be too soon for you, but it might be better to tell you now.”

Originally, the hill where the Tenmark palace is located was called the Hill of the Spirit. Then the palace was built on the hill. There were many sightings of the spirits on this hill. Therefore, humans gathered to this place to seek protection from the spirit and built the palace to honor them. The central figure who built the palace was the Tenmark royal family’s ancestors.

Origin: “Inside the forests close to the palace, there is a gate that connects the spirit realms and the human realms. Due to this reason, if you ask for a spirit’s blessing to give you magic at this place, your magical power will increase at an amazing rate. Probably that’s why you notice the black aura. “

I see, so that’s how it is. Then I pay all of my attention to mother’s explanation about the malicious man.

Origin: “When did that happen? Some way back of many generations ago? At that time, there was a person who is similar to Agriel. But that person was a man. “ freeweb(n)ovel

Ellen: “……Did he do something bad?”

Origin: “He told the spirits to hand me over”

Ellen: “E?”

Origin: “It made the spirits extremely mad.”

Ellen: “A……”

Origin: “Instead of blessings, the spirits gave him a curse.”

Ellen: “A……”

To summarize, because the Royal Family brought the anger of the spirits, their bloodline was cursed. It is impossible for anyone from the Royal Family to make a contract with a spirit. That curse is that black aura.

The black aura around the King and Agriel which I see from the water mirror is not that much. The black aura is supposed to represent the spirit’s curse. Although the black aura around them looks like it will be gone by any time, the curse itself is actually far from disappearing. It can be concluded that the spirits really hate the two of them from the very beginning. It does not matter if there is a curse or not, they are still hated by the spirit so they won’t be able to make a contract with a spirit. In other words, the fact that there is a strong black aura around the Crown Prince means that he has a strong potential to make a contract.

Origin: “However, every year the Royal Family organizes a spirit festival. By doing so, they hope they can be forgiven by the spirits.”

Other royal families from different countries are able to enjoy the spirit’s blessing. On the other hand, the Royal Family of this country has a handicap of the curse, and they are unable to use magic.

Ellen: “Aa, so that’s the reason why they rely on Esteem Father.”

Origin: “Precisely. That’s the reason.”

The Royal Family cannot lose a person who can use magic. Moreover, Father who has the Spirit Queen by his side is also the strongest person in the world.

There is a meaning behind the coexistence between humans and spirits in a sense. For a spirit, the meaning of giving a blessing to a human is just to kill time.

Origin: “Human beings are a race that can grow rapidly in a short period of time. For immortal beings like spirits, there is nothing more interesting than human beings. For good or bad.”

I understand what Mother is trying to say. Likewise, I can tell from my past life as a human, there is nothing scary than the spirits. The spirits only consider humans as their toys. They lend their power on their whim to interesting humans. However, the Royal Family made a mistake and approached the spirit with haughty attitude.

Ellen: “……Esteem Mother, I am the same as father. I am a human too.”

I said those words while making a slightly depressed expression. Looking at me like that, thus mother wears a gentle expression on her face.

Origin: “……There is a Spirit festival in the country.”

Ellen: “? You had told me before.”

Origin: “Every year, the Royal Family prayed nothing else in their heart than 'Why is this happening to us? Why we cannot hear the spirit’s voice?”

It should be impossible for the spirits to forgive them if they think such things while begging for forgiveness and making the festival.

Origin: “Next to the Royal Family was your Father.”

Now I am confused at the direction of mother’s story is heading to, so I tilt my neck while Mother is giggling and smiling.

Origin: “At the time, He was already felt disgusted by Agriel. The moment the Royal family finished their prayers, he was idled by himself. Probably he was uninterested with the whole affairs. “

Somehow after the prayers, he stood still at a place where no one else was present. As a result, Mother became interested in Father.

Then, while standing on the place where the King was praying, he said these;

Rovel: “Even the spirits don’t want to lend their power to those people. ………So troublesome.”

When she saw Father was making such a sad face, Mother’s maternal instinct was tickled and she felt in love with him at first sight. Without a delay, Mother broke through the restraint of the spirits who were protecting her, and she appeared in front of him. Then she forced him to make a contract with her.

Ellen: “………Esteem Mother.”

Origin: “………Yes?”

Father was the one who could sympathize with the spirit. Then Mother made a contract with him out of her whim and stayed by his side from then on. While she stayed by his side, she came to love him. Father also came to love her in the same manner.

Suddenly, I notice a small detail after I was forced to hear my parents’ love story.

Ellen: “What was Esteem Father’s age at that time?”

Origin: “………Perhaps he was 7 years old?”

Mother is tilting her neck while she is acting cute, but I am instinctively shouting the disturbing reality of their relationship.

Ellen: “Mother, that’s OOUUUUTT OF THE LINEEE!!”

Behind the water mirror, Rovel who has no idea that his daughter is lecturing her mother, is currently facing the greatest enemy in his life.

Rovel: “My house’s support, huh………”

Other aristocrats are on the same page with Lafissel. All of them who have been watching the whole thing, give pleading gazes to Rovel. In their mind, Rovel turning his back to the country would bring a great calamity for the whole nation.

Rovel: “I’m not the one who can make that decision.”

Then Rovel told everyone in the room persistently that the decision making is on the hand of his little brother, who is the current head of the Vankriff family. Rovel’s reply put the Royal Family in greater trouble. From now on, they will be forced to deal with the divorce mediation. Agriel’s infidelity has turned into a huge matter which could shake the whole country.

Lafissel: “I understand. His majesty as well as me will go along with you. Agriel’s matter lies on Royal Family’s responsibility. “

Everyone else around them are taken back by Lafissel’s reply. Judging from his reply, the Royal Family has fully recognized all their faults. The Royal Family have never accepted their faults and conceded easily like that. Based on their perception, the Vankriff family has won against the Royal Family. However, Rovel cannot hide his irritation over the course of the event and smack his lips.

The act of refusing an apology from another person is frown by the third party.

Rovel: “Let’s continue our talk at the Bureau of Justice Enforcement. “

Lafissel: “Sure. This meeting has been a treat.”

Thanks to the Crown Prince’s speech, Rovel leaves the palace immediately. As soon as Rovel’s figure disappears from the sight, all of the aristocrats who had been watching the whole conversation become panic. Because of Agriel, the Vankriff family is on the verge of breaking ties with the Royal Family.

Sauvell who has been hidden among the audience and watched the exchange between Rovel and Lafissel is letting out a sigh.

Sauvell: “As expected of Older Brother……”

Sauvell admires Rovel who is able to keep his standing on an equal term with the Royal Family effortlessly. If it was him who was negotiating with the Royal Family, he would definitely overwhelm. While Rovel has not uttered any single lie, the prediction and situation regarding Agriel have completely turned into somewhere else. It is not easy to dominate the negotiation while manipulating the audience to sympathize with you. Moreover, to keep your agenda forward in such a situation.

Nevertheless, Rovel had sworn to aid Sauvell in front of everyone. He declared to help Sauvell and left the decision making to Sauvell. With such declaration, Sauvell’s position as the head of Vankriff family had firmly established.

As the head of the family, he has enough of Agriel’s infidelity and domineering attitude. Now that his Older Bother has come back to counterattack on his behalf, people would start to ridicule him for being late to take some action. However, Rovel’s declaration has wiped all of those out. Depending on the Royal Family’s circumstance is the same as saying that the Vankriff house might forsake the Royal Family.

Unfortunately, there are some counterattacks from the Royal Family as well. They argued that if Rovel turns his back on the Royal Family, this country would be attacked by the neighboring countries at once. When that happens, the dainty aristocrats and the royal family would flee from the country and leave the citizens who are powerless behind.

The Vankriff house is a family that has been protecting the citizen for a long time. The Crown Prince understood this very well and intentionally made an apology in public. If Rovel turns his back, this country will be finished. When that happens, what would happen to the citizen of this country? His apology and request are the same as making the citizen as hostage to coerce Rovel to comply with him. In spite of the initial predicament, that Crown Prince was able to turn the table smoothly to his advantage.

After this meeting, Sauvell finally able to understand the reason why Rovel sees the Crown Prince as an enemy.
