Chapter 24: Father, I'm Really Angry
Translator: Masakibluei
In the morning, I open my eyes when I realize someone is calling my names.
“Ellen dear, are you awake?”
The person in front of me has a very gentle expression and patting my head affectionately.
Ellen: “……Good morning, Grandma.”
I was dozing off when lowering my head to greet Isabella. Then my head suddenly becomes blank after being fully awake. My tongue is also tied. Isabella is laughing at my reaction.
Isabella: “Aaah!!! You are really cutee!!”
Ellen: “Ugh-“
I feel like being crushed by her hug. It, it’s painful………
Lawrence: “Madam, Lady Ellen seems to suffer from your hug.”
Lawrence makes a wry smile while making the morning tea.
Lawrence: “Good morning, Lady Ellen. Please have some tea.”
Ellen: “……Grandpa, Good morning.”
When I wake up, I feel thirsty. While saying thank you, I take a cup of tea and drink it.
Lawrence: “Madam Isabella, please have some tea too.”
Isabella: “Lawrence………you are just like that. “
Isabella laughs at Lawrence’s antics. He should have served Isabella first, but he prioritized Ellen first.
I blew off my tea to decrease the temperature before I drink it. After I drink the warm tea, my head starts to clear up. The tea that I had yesterday with the cake was not sweet, but the tea I drink this time has a hint of sweetness from honey. Lawrence must have given a thoughtful consideration when he was making the tea for me.
Ellen: “Grandpa, the tea is delicious.”
Lawrence is back into his foolish grandpa mode. While grinning from ear to ear, he replies, “it was my greatest pleasure.” freew ebnovel.com
After eating breakfast with Isabella and enjoying the orange juice, Father finally comes to get me.
Rovel: “Good morning, Ellen.”
Even though Father is smiling, but it is apparent that he is angry. Then I remember the incident which was happened last night.
Ellen: “A, Good morning, Esteem Father. Did you enjoy the sweet time with Esteem Mother?”
Rovel: “Off course……No, that’s not it!!”
Although Father was playing along with the joke in the beginning, he actually has been thinking about the serious matter. With a calm demeanor, Father starts to talk.
Rovel: “Ellen, do you have something to say to me? “
Ellen: “Yes. Uncle Albert is going to cut his relationship with His Highness. So please cancel his punishment. “
When I said those words calmly, Isabella and Lawrence were surprised. They ask what do I mean.
Rovel: “Ellen!!”
Ellen: “Moreover, Esteem Father. Don’t you also have something that you want to say to me?”
I immediately interrupt Father’s speech. I lean my head and smile sweetly to pressure him. Being pressure like that, Father makes a stiff facial expression.
Isabella: “Rovel……What does it mean?”
Lawrence: “Lord Rovel. What is going on with Albert issue?”
Both Isabella and Lawrence’s intimidating air drives Father more to the corner.
Ellen: “Father expected that Albert will come to relay a personal message from His Highness to me, so he intentionally left me alone in the house.”
While I said those words with a chill composure and continue to enjoy my orange juice, there are blizzard coming from Isabella and Lawrence as they listen to my explanation.
“Please explain, “said Isabella with a cold voice.
Rovel takes a long sigh.
Isabella: “Then, what is going on with Albert?”
Rovel: “……His Highness used Albert to send a personal letter directly to Ellen. Everything was like Ellen said. Albert seemed to think that if Ellen is connected with the Royal Family, then the Vankriff house would be peaceful.”
Rovel lets out all of his dissatisfaction. Hearing his story, both Isabella and Lawrence sigh.
Isabella: “Ellen dear, how did you realize?”
Ellen: “Father is usually overprotective of me. It would be impossible for him to leave me alone here when my existence has been leaked out to His Highness”
Isabella: “……Then did you realize it at that time when he left you here?”
Ellen: “No, I had no single doubt about Esteem Father. At that time, I truly believed that Esteem Father wanted some private sweet time with Esteem Mother. “
Rovel: “Aaaa, stop it! My daughter’s gaze is hurting me!!”
I completely understand the meaning behind Father’s attitude, and hold a grudge at him. Unconsciously, I give him a disgusted stare.
Ellen: “Uncle Albert woke me up when I was sleeping alone on Grandma’s bed. He gave me a letter from His Highness.”
Isabella: “Ellen dear……that letter?”
Ellen: “I did not open the letter. I burned it.”
