Chapter 39: Making Her Face Reality
Translator: Masakibluei
Aria is not the only one who is stupefied from hearing my declaration. Sauvell is also overcome by shock.
Ellen: “Both me and Father are called by His Majesty. At that time, he will surely bring you up to the conversation. If you are the same as Agriel, His Majesty will enthusiastically offer his hand. ‘Shall I help you?’”
Aria: “Wha……why would he……”
Ellen: “Well, I wonder. Perhaps he thinks the quickest way to solve this issue is to remove you from our sight. If Uncle Sauvell becomes a widow again, this time His Majesty will arrange a marriage between Uncle Sauvell and a person who is under his control………”
Aria: “No……NOOOOO!!”
Aria is trembling in fear and tears are flowing from her eyes.
Ellen: “Are you going to continue to hold some impure thoughts toward Esteem Father while disregarding the danger? Ah but before that, both I and Mother will finish you off first. “
Aria shakes her head sideways.
Isabella: “Aria, I know that you have been supporting Sauvell for a long time. Sauvell too has also supported you. Sauvell was very happy when he finally was able to marry you after he finalized his divorce with Agriel……There are so many women who fall in love with Rovel at first sight of him. Perhaps it’s inevitable that you become one of those women. Has your love for Sauvell disappeared now?”
When Aria is asked by Isabella who is looks really sad with tearful eyes, she shouts immediately, “No! It’s not like that!”
Aria: “No! It’s not like that! I don’t mean to do that. I was just too happy to have such a wonderful person as brother-in-law……!! I do love Sauvell!!”
Ellen: “But your insistent does not align with the Goddess’ warning………For the time being, please stop your unpleasant gaze at Father. Stop making excuses and please apologize to Uncle.”
Aria: “My…My Dear……I’m sorry……”
Sauvell lets out a troubled sigh.
Sauvell: “When Agriel was here, you had indeed been supporting me……If there were no you or Lafillia, I wouldn’t be able to bear the whole situation……”
Everyone is listening to Sauvell in silence.
Sauvell: “I……I want to trust Aria. “
The way he said it seems like he was trying to persuade himself to do so. Meanwhile, Aria is touched by his words.
Aria: “Darling……!!”
On the other hand, everyone except Aria stays silent. Once a person commits a betrayal, that person will always be looked at with doubts. Everyone keeps this thought to themselves.
Ellen: “Well, that’s fine.”
As I break the silence, everyone’s gazes flock back to me.
Ellen: “What I had said is a warning for Aunty Aria. Goddess Val’s conviction too was also a warning. From now on, please start to think more about your surrounding. “
When Aria sees me smiling, she feels relieved.
Ellen: “If you are going to betray Uncle Sauvell in the future, please be prepared to accept the punishments.”
Isabella: “Yes. That’s right. By that time, the sinner mark will become clearly visible……But we can’t let the family get into an unwanted scandal so we will have to announce the truth first.”
Despite Isabella’s gentle attitude while she was saying those words, for Aria who is a commoner, the announcement is the same as a declaration that the Duke will become the enemy of her family. For those who live in the Vankriff’s territory, it’s easy to imagine what will be happened if you angered the Head of the territory. In short, Aria’s whole family will become the target of punishment.
Aria: ‘Tha, that’s……”
Isabella: “Oh my. Aren’t you the one who started the mess? Essentially, if Sauvell does not forgive you at this point, we will push for divorce and demand for some compensation. Although the amount will not be something that your family can afford. Ah, since Lafillia is the heir of the family, we will take her away from you.”
After Aria listens to Isabella, she finally comprehends the reality. Her face is ghastly pale like a white paper.
Ellen: “Aunty Aria.”
When I call her name, Aria jolts, and then she turns her eyes on me.
Ellen: “If you are planning to steal Father away from us, Both Mother and I won’t go easy on you. Please be ready that we are going to steadily crush you down. “
The moment Aria sees my broad smile, she has reached the end of her endurance and fainted.
Currently, I am being hugged tightly by Father and Isabella. A few moments later, Sauvell comes back after carrying Aria to her room. He looks more refreshed after putting off the weight in his heart.
Ellen: “Uncle Sauvell!!”
Sauvell: “Ah, Ellen. I’m sorry……Even though you are still an 8 years old child, we make you take the role to say all of that……”
Ellen: “No Uncle Sauvell, I’m the one who can’t keep myself from speaking out…I’m sorry that I talk too much.”
As he sees me feeling depressed and clutching my skirt with both of my hand, Sauvell wryly smiles and pats my head.
Sauvell: “Thank you, Ellen. If you did not do anything, the family might have split up. I, Aria……and also Older Brother.”
When I raise my head, Sauvell gently smiles at me.
Sauvell: “It might happen………sooner or later. The sooner we get ready, it will be easier to make up for our own decision. I’m glad that you did it. Thank you, Ellen.”
Ellen: “Uncle Sauvell……”
I start to sniff because of his gentleness. But I have another thing that I have to apologize for.
Ellen: “I’m sorry, but that’s not the only thing that I have to apologize for.”
Sauvell: “………What do you mean?”
I crumple the hemp of my skirt and say, “Mother is a Goddess. The twin Goddesses are Mother’s Older sister.”
This truth makes Sauvell’s eyes widen.
Ellen: “They were tentatively watching the ceremony as mother’s relative. Then…they saw that Aunty Aria has fallen in love with their sister’s husband. Thus they are furious at Aunty Aria…… ”
By nature, the Goddess won’t condemn a person just because of an attachment. There are a lot of political marriages within the aristocrats in this world. Agriel and Sauvel’s relationship was also the same case. Usually, similar cases like this won’t become a big matter.
Sauvell: “……the Twin Goddesses?”
Ellen: “Aunt Aria made the Goddesses angry. Please don’t involve Aunty Aria in the family’s projects anymore. It could destroy the family. “
When I look that Sauvel, Isabella and Lawrence swallow their breath, my heart hurts.
Ellen: “It will be fine since I am here. But the things around Aunty Aria are getting stormy.”
Nevertheless, Sauvell smiles gently while saying ‘thank you for the advice’ in response to my apology.
Aaaa, what a very nice person. It’s so pitiful that he always encounters bitter experience.
Hence, I secretly make a wish to the Goddesses.
I hope that Uncle Sauvell will be blessed with happiness.
Suddenly, I hear a voice coming from a distance say, “Ok, Ellen dear. Leave it to me.”
(………Eh? Was that Vol Older sister?)
Somehow, she has been watching over us.
