Chapter 28: Beard is Not Allowed
Chapter 28: Beard is Not Allowed
Translator: Masakibluei
Some time past in a blink of eyes. After I forgave Esteem Father, I played with the servants until I am exhausted.
When I said that I will go back to the spirit realm in the evening, all the family members and the servants are gathering together to send me off. Both Isabella and Lawrence are crying when I leave.
Ellen: “Grandma! Is it okay for me to come again to play?”
Isabella: “Of course ~ Ellen dear~!!!
Then she hugs me tightly in her arms. I shyly smile and then give her a kiss on her cheek. I also kiss Lawrence’s cheek too. Then I turn to Sauvell and he pats my head gently. Meanwhile, Albert is standing next to Sauvell. I turn my eyes on him and our eyes come into contact with each other.
Albert: “……My Lady.”
Ellen: “Uncle, thank goodness it was resolved, wasn’t it. Before doing anything, please always consult with Uncle Sauvell first. “
As I give him a reminder with a smile, his face becomes distorted. He seems to be on the verge of crying.
Albert: “Thank you very much. I will never forget your favor for my whole life.”
Ellen: “This is not a long farewell, though…”
In the meantime, I decide to participate in Vankriff family’s ventures with Father, like the inspection of the mining matter. Henceforth, there will be many opportunities for us to meet again.
Albert: “No. I’m just trying to convey my feelings………”
Ellen: “I understand. Uncle Albert.”
After I said that, I also give Albert a kiss on his cheek. As a result, Albert’s face turns completely red. When I kissed Albert, Sauvell who didn’t get a kiss from me despondently asked, “What about me…?”
Ellen: “……Could you please do not move at all?”
Sauvell: “Eh? Why do you seem so cautious?”
Rovel: “That’s because Ellen hates beard.”
Sauvell: “E?”
The moment Sauvell turns his attention to Father, I give him a kiss.
……His beard is bristle. It was prickling my face.
Unfortunately, my true feeling is displayed on my face which shocks Sauvell. Seeing him being shaken like that, Father is laughing out loud. While waving my hand and saying bye bye to everyone with a smile on my face, Father and I teleport to go back to the spirit realm.
After Rovel and Ellen go home to the spirit realm, Isabella becomes remarkably sad.
Isabella: “It becomes so lonely……Will she comes again tomorrow to play?”
Lawrence: “Madam, that’s slightly too soon. “
Even though he said so, Lawrence also feels very sad.
Isabella: “Uhmm, Sauvell.”
Sauvell: “Yes? What is it?”
Isabella: “When will you bring your child from the town market?”
Next after Rovel, Isabella turns her target into Sauvell. In response, Sauvell makes a bitter smile. Sauvell continues to make a bitter smile as he returns with Lawrence to the study room after seeing off his brother.
Sauvell: “Lawrence, about the mine…”
Lawrence: “Yes. In the meantime, there is no one visiting that mountain regularly. In spite of that, it’s not in a state of shutdown too. Even if it's shut down at the moment, we still have to inspect it at least once. “
Sauvell: “Um, then shall we do it?”
As he pays attention to the phase of the mine, he decides to let Rovel and Ellen inspect the mine. If the resources are discovered from the inspection, the discovery itself is enough to start the venture.
Sauvell: “I’m truly saved………I don’t want this family to be crushed in my time ………”
While sitting on the study chair Sauvell feels relieved from the bottom of his heart. But then, he makes a strained smile. Just by the fact that Agriel has gone now, Sauvell feels really exhausted by all matters that are waiting in the future.
Sauvell: “As soon as Older Brother came back, somehow our fortune started to flow.”
Lawrence: “Up until now, it was quite unbecoming.”
Lawrence said that while smiling.
Without realizing when did Lawrence have started to make the tea; Lawrence has already served Sauvell a cup of tea. He puts the tea near the table while saying, “please enjoy,”.
Sauvell:” We should be on guard against the Royal Family, huh……However, it should be fine for a while because Older Brother stabbed a nail on them……”
Lawrence: “Lord Sauvell, there is something that I want to say………”
Sauvell: “N?”
Lawrence: “Please bring your partner into the family as soon as possible.”
Sauvell: “Why do you bring this up suddenly?”
Lawrence: “It’s to distract the Royal Family’s attention and also for the sake of this family. I think that it is very important to have a person to switch their attention. “
Sauvell: “……using my daughter to cover for Ellen?”
Lawrence: “That’s not what I mean. It’s about the heir of this family.”
Sauvell: “That……”
Lawrence: “If His Highness Lafissel ascends to the throne, he will use a king decree to verify the existence of the heir. By doing this way, it would distract his attention from Lady Ellen, right? Moreover, the fact that there is an heir to this family is an important matter that should be released. There is also a possibility that His Highness would arrange a marriage partner for My Lord as an apology. “
Sauvell: “Aa, so that’s what you mean……”
Now that Agriel has gone, the perception that there is no heir anymore in the Vankriff family will be spread out in the public. If the truth about his illegitimate daughter becomes known, it will turn into a scandal. However, due to Agriel’s notorious deeds, the public might sympathize with him. Nevertheless, what Lawrence was trying to say to him was; before His Highness put another person into the family, this time he should get married to the person that he truly loves.
Sauvell: “But the officer told me that I can remarry after three months. “
Lawrence: “No, it’s enough. Given that we need preparation for the dress, if it is feasible, tomorrow……”
Sauvell: “Wa, wait a moment! It’s too soon!!”
Lawrence: “What are you talking, My Lord. Are you planning to keep the other person waiting for you?”
For some reason, Sauvell feels that something black is coming out from Lawrence. Certainly, because Agriel was here, he was unable to bring his outside family due to the fear that they might be harmed by Agriel. Now, he finally able to welcome them with open hands. Although he understands the points, he suddenly feels embarrassed.
As a matter of fact, Isabella and Lawrence consider anything related to Ellen as a pressing matter. Previously, Isabella too had been asking him about the same thing. He understood that it was the cue that both his lover and illegitimate child would be accepted with open arms.
