Chapter 30: The Beginning of a New Upheaval
2 months later……
From then on, Rovel occasionally goes back to his parent's house to help his little brother. In the beginning, he made some appearances in the territory and being pulled to so many different places. Wherever he went, there would be a celebration and drinking party. These bits make Rovel sighs.
When Rovel comes back to the spirit world, Ellen rushes to greet him ‘welcome home’. However, she suddenly stops her feet in the middle.
Ellen: “Smells disgusting.”
When he sees his daughter scowls at him while pinching her nose, Rovel immediately run through the hallway of the castle to the bathroom and take a bath. Meanwhile, his wife who is just watching by the sideline is making a small remark ‘oh my oh my’ during the ordeal.
Rovel: “Ori, Ellen! I’m homeee!!”
Ellen: “Welcome home, Esteem Father. However, your hair is still wet.”
Water are still dripping from Rovel’s hair while he hugs Ellen. When Ellen rubs his hair to dry it with a towel, Rovel looks really happy.
Origin: “Ellen dear, please rubs it more!”
Ellen: “Okay!”
With her mother command, Ellen vigorously rubs Rovel’s hair and messing around with the towel.
Rovel: “Uwaaa! Wait a second, you two……!”
In the end, Rovel’s hair becomes magnificently messy. Both his wife and daughter are laughing as soon as they see it.
Thus, Rovel pouts, “Both of you are so mean……”
While laughing Ellen apologizes and fixes Rovel’s hair.
Origin: “Ara, even though it suits you.”
His wife keeps chuckling for the whole time. However, there is something strange about her laughs. Rovel quickly opens his mouth to inquire.
Rovel: “……Ori? Is there anything that makes you mad……?”
Origin: “Ara? There’s none.”
Looking at her reaction, she is definitely angry. Thus, Rovel turns to Ellen for an answer.
Rovel: “Do you know what your mother is upset about?”
Ellen blankly looks at her mother, and amazes that she still looks quite upset.
Ellen: “Because-“
Although Rovel think that his wife looks very lovable when she sulks, he holds her waist and ask her, “What happened?”
Ellen: “Even though Esteem Father ignored those pretty ladies during the drinking party, Esteem Mother is still upset about it.”
Origin: "Ellen, you traitor!"
The lovely appearance of his wife yelling at his daughter in such a way makes Rovel subconsciously hugs her even tighter to spoil her.
Rovel: “Ori, I’m sorry. Even though I tried to escape as much as possible……”
Origin: “………… I know. Because I was watching. “
Nevertheless, Rovel looks at his wife who is jealous and sulking with so much love in his eyes. Ellen feels disgusted by the pink aura that is emerged from the pair of husband and wife. However, she still reads the mood and comes up with an excuse that she is going to sleep to get away.
Rovel: “Aa, wait a moment. I have something that I have to say to the both of you.”
Both his wife and daughter turn their attention to him when they hear his words.
Rovel: “The date of my little brother’s wedding has been decided. Naturally, we are supposed to attend, but the Royal family will be there too………”
Both Origin and Ellen sympathize with Rovel who looks dejected.
Rovel: “I’m sorry Ellen, but can you stay at home?”
Ellen: “Okay. I also do not want to see that malicious man.”
Origin: “Ara, can I go then?”
Rovel: “Even with this, I feel that I need to let people know that I’m married. But I don’t want Ori to be seen by other men.”
Origin: “Oh well.”
This time his wife is genuinely smiling, her sulking appearance has gone completely. Feeling relieved, Rovel affectionately combs Origin’s hair. Ellen who is watching sideways thinks in her heart that their relationship is really good. Then she excuses herself and returns to her room.
The next day, Rovel is going into Sauvell’s study room. The news that the Royal family will attend the Vankriff family wedding should have become the object of gossip by everyone. With the pretext of apology, the Royal Family sends a lot of gifts. The Royal Family’s method of apology makes Sauvell sighs.
Rovel: “Then you might as well flaunt your happiness to the max, don’t you think?”
As he said that, Rovel teases Sauvell. However, the moment he hears that Lafissel will be the one who comes as the Royal Family representative, he soon senses Lafissel’s intention.
Rovel: “Ellen, huh………”
Sauvell: “What to do, Elder Brother.”
Rovel: “I’m sorry, but can you abstain Ellen’s attendance?”
Sauvell: “Although it is regrettable, alright, no problem. Ellen’s matter is very important.”
Rovel: “………to be able to receive your words, that’s a great help.”
However, this involves that crown prince. Rovel is mad at the thought that he would come up with another plan to meet Ellen. Precisely at this moment, there is a knocking sound on the door. At this sound, the two of them stop their conversation. Then Sauvell invites the person to come inside the room.
