Chapter 53: Uncle Albert's Position is at the Bottom
Kai was born 14 years ago during the Monster Tempest period. Immediately after getting married, Albert was determined to lead military forces to subdue the monsters. He did so to protect his wife, his unborn child, and his master. He also promised to return safely to his wife.
“………I need to show my child, my honor as a father……” free(w)ebnov(e)l
It was the main reason that was necessary to him.
The head of Vankriff family bleeds until he died to protect him. When he told the last word of his master to his master’s wife, Isabella, she smiles with tears flowing from her eyes.
Isabella: “Those words are just like him.”
Perhaps Albert felt that he was saved by those words.
To make it even worse, Rovel, the apparent heir at that time was also died. During the time when Rovel was recovering in the spirit realm, Albert patiently waited for his master's return for 10 years. For him, those 10 years were very long. Albert was left behind alone, and then he was trapped in the mindset that he has to protect the Vankriff family by himself. He deeply regretted that he could not protect the Headmaster of Vankriff family and his heir. He wasn’t able to get over his guilt. It was all thanks to the Vankriff family that he can still be with his family and spend some time with them.
Since at that time he wasn’t being useful, this time he tried to step up and make more effort to be useful.
Then 4 years ago.
He was saved by Ellen.
Before his eyes, he nearly lost everything that he holds dear because he was too preoccupied with his own mindset.
This time………He had a deep conversation with his son about everything he had kept in his heart.
After establishing the identification of first aid during an emergency situation, the novel method needs to be introduced to the doctors. On this day, I together with Father, Sauvell, Kai, Van, and a guard, are heading toward the treatment center for this purpose.
Ellen: “So uncle Albert was married already……”
From the small window at the front of the carriage, I stare at Albert without blinking in disbelief. The coachman is laughing at my reaction while Albert who is sitting beside him is scratching his head and feels slightly depressed.
Albert: “Do I look like a single man? “
Ellen : “Yeah. Moreover, you look like the type of man who prioritizes work and is disinterested in women.”
When the coachman and Sauvell hear what I say, they burst to laugh out loud.
Coachman: “It’s not like that.”
Although he says that, my guess must be right.
Coachman: “His wife has a lot of guts, you see. Consequently, Albert is completely fallen on his knees and is subdued by her. “
Albert: “Hey, wait a moment.”
Coachman: “But that was the truth. Ha ha ha.”
Albert tries to retort but to no avail. In the end, he just sighs.
Ellen: “OH I SEE!”
I cling to the small window and listen to their conversation with huge interest.
“Ellen, that’s bad manner.”
Father lifts me from the window and puts me on his lap. Although the carriage is not stable and shakes a lot, I don’t feel any pain because my buttock lays comfortably on his knee.
Besides me and Father, Sauvell and Kai are also sitting inside the carriage. Vaan on the other hand is sitting on the roof to be on guard of the surrounding area. I can feel that the carriage is moving smoothly despite the heavy weight that it carries with the push of the favorable wind. Perhaps, Vaan helps a little bit to ease the burden of the horses. He is a kind-hearted child after all.
Father puts his chin on top of my head and gruntles; “Do you really curious about Albert that much?”
Since the incident 4 years ago (Albert’s betrayal), Father has never gotten over his grudge, so it can’t be helped that he is acting this way.
Ellen: “It’s because…”
I am really curious and excited to find out more about Albert’s love life. When I think that an obstinate guy like Albert falls on his knees, my imagination starts to run wild. I can imagine that his wife might be gutsy like my mom.
Kai: “Ehm……Although it is embarrassing to admit, my mother is just like that.”
Although the one who is being teased is his dad, Kai also feels uncomfortable about the subject.
Ellen: “As I thought. So, Uncle Albert is really completely beaten by her. “
“That’s enough----”
Kai who has slips of the tongue immediately tried to cover his mouth, but it was too late. I grin in satisfaction.
Ellen: “So that’s how it was……That kind of person truly suitable for a person like uncle Albert.”
I become really curious about his wife. I want to meet her once. (f)reewe(b)novel
Kai seems to be able to read into my mind when he suddenly asks me, “Do you want to visit my home next time? I will introduce you to mother.”
Ellen: “Really!?”
Right afterward, Father suddenly squeezes me into a tight hug.
Rovel: “You want to introduce my daughter to your Mother……?”
I stare at Father with astonishment. Once again, he blurts out some nonsense without thinking. Kai’s face turns really red and starts to retort in panic.
Kai: “I-it’s not like that! I did not mean in that way!!”
Rovel: “It’s way too soon for you!!”
Father’s thundering loud shout echoes in my ears. As a result, my ears are hurting.
Ellen: “Father, you are so noisy.
Rovel: “You are so cruel!! Don’t say that!!”
Once again Father tightly embraces me while rubbing his cheeks against mine affectionally. It hurts.
Sauvell: “……Older brother is completely subdued by Ellen, isn’t he.”
Sauvell’s remark stirs the atmosphere in the carriage. Father immediately stops rubbing his cheeks against mine and begins to contemplate the remark seriously.
Rovel: “If it’s Ellen, I’m fine.”
Hearing him saying that with a big foolish smile on his face makes me feel even more disgusted at him.
