The plain and unnoticed me is no more
102. I love you, Grandpa.
I was in a hurry, but I didn't speak directly on the spot, and before my grandfather finished the accounting and left, I asked Chiyo to take my grandfather who had put in the cheese tart yesterday from the back door to my room.
Chiyo looked a little strange, but he took it pleasantly.
Looking at my present expression, it seems to have made me realize the situation.
When I thought that my family members who were prepared for insulation came to think of me, my cheeks naturally relaxed.
From this afternoon on Chiyo's half-time day, I didn't have much time to be free to share the front desk and kitchen, but I was still able to talk to my grandfather for just one hour.
"Grandpa!
As I entered my break time, I hurried to my room and hugged my grandfather, who was waiting to see a lot of plants in the room.
My grandfather took me by surprise with such a big bony body. The legs that were supposed to have been paralyzed strongly supported the body and showed that they were well healed without stiffness.
"Cohon... what the hell, let me through the room. What are you going to do if they find out who you are because of your relationship with me?"
My grandfather coughed slightly as if he had been illuminated, and while confused, he noticed me in his usual condition. But when I looked up, the expression was so soft, I could feel the same deep love of my grandfather as I remember when I was a little girl.
"Grandpa, thank you for your time. You knew what I loved."
"Hmm, I don't know.... it must be a coincidence."
My grandfather slipped out of sight and lied easily to conceal it.
"Ah... please sit down. I'm going to put some tea in now. Grandpa, please give me a moment. I have something to tell you."
I got my uncle to sit down and finished preparing my tea. I couldn't waste my time because I was here sewing between busy moments.
"I'm sorry, this is the only thing I can serve...."
"It doesn't matter. So, what's the story?
My grandfather asked me if I felt anything with the usual sharp expression.
We don't have time for each other. I decided to get down to business at once.
"... Grandpa, I really wanted to apologize to Grandpa and he came here."
"What are you apologizing for? No way... did you get into trouble again after last night? Did they find out you were Miss Daria's replacement?
Aaron found out, and I got into trouble after that, but I don't care about that now.
While I was nervous, I looked at my grandfather's eyes and sincerely said an apology.
"No, Grandpa, I'm sorry I caused you so much injury that you have sequelae. Furthermore, I would like to apologize for everything I've spent so far conveniently forgetting about it, and for misunderstanding my grandfather."
My grandfather listened to me and looked at me in dismay.
"... have you remembered? You mean back then? How long have you remembered?
My grandfather, who was sitting opposite me, asked me a question in a hurry. I add to that the apology was lacking earlier.
"Everything. The fact that I was close to His Highness Wilfred, and even my engagement… before it was announced publicly, it became blank because of His Highness's circumstances…. Once magically sealed his memory of His Majesty, but the magic was broken and I had a tantrum and a brawl."
……
"My grandfather said that he was seriously wounded on the verge of death... I couldn't stand the guilt that I was injured, so I sealed my memory myself. I'm sorry, Grandpa. I shouldn't have forgotten, but it took me ten years to apologize..."
When I finished my apology, my grandfather exhaled and started talking quietly, worried about me.
"Forget it... you didn't hurt me. It was an accident."
"No, that's me...."
When I tried to disagree, my grandfather controlled it with his eyes and continued his words.
"I didn't know that you, who shouldn't have had magic, had so much power. You were too young to control. It was just a runaway emotion. Besides, it wasn't good that the adults easily agreed to the engagement. His Highness Wilfred was quite weak at the time and was about to be poisoned. His Highness was afraid that the same thing would happen to you."
Now I've heard rumors of an assassination attempt, but it didn't come out of the rumor.
Such a fact is unlikely to be obvious, because only a very small number of people have handled it in the royal palace.
At that time, I didn't hear that Will had been damaged at that time, and my grandfather explained the facts to me in oblate, so I had no reason to know.
At that time, no matter why my grandfather arranged it, I could only think that Will, who was close to me, suddenly changed his feelings and was thrown out.
Even if I decided to put the engagement back on paper, I wanted you to explain it properly. I might be depressed at that time, but I might have been quite convinced.
If Will told me that my engagement would be in Will's hands, I think he would have listened honestly, even if he was sad.
Was it because I was so naive and naive at that time that I worried so much that I would find something?
I was told that the reason I erased my memory was Will's concern not to be sad, but he erased his memory from me and covered it without giving me a choice until it was a pleasant memory.
At that time, I couldn't forgive it, and my emotions were shaken.
"Now that you've regained your memory, do you want to go to Your Highness's side again?
What?
An unexpected word popped out of my grandfather, and I blinked.
Because I didn't even think about it. I left home because I was self-fulfilled that I would never see Will again.
"I... didn't even think about it. My childhood thoughts have come back to life. I don't really know if I have the same feelings for His Highness right now."
Hearing my words, my grandfather revealed a glaring expression.
My grandfather gave me freedom even though he told me at the night club. And I didn't want to let go of my life.
My granddaughter, as a ruthless grandfather who made a merciless decision to admit his innocent granddaughter to the abbey without saying anything, became a bad man himself, freeing me from the temptations of aristocratic society.
I don't think your father and mother said anything because they knew about it.
I know now that I didn't notice it half a year ago.
Whatever the reason, it turns out I was abandoned by the two princes. It would be kind of you to think that you don't want to get involved with the royal family anymore.
"Well, that's good. I don't want to drag you into that royal mess anymore. You should do what you like in this inn as it is. For a moment I thought I'd let the royal family protect your special powers... but when I saw the Virgin's treatment, I changed my mind. In the first place, I thought you were the only one born as a Virgin. When you were young, you grew plants with songs and healed injuries with non-magical powers. It was quicker to wake up than the prophecy, but I was sure of it. There's a real Virgin, you just have to live quietly."
The grandfather smiled gently and nodded once.
I was finally able to find out how my grandfather really felt, and somehow I was crying.
"Don't cry. Though they had a place to live and a job in advance, they would have been unreasonably evicted and worried. I'm sorry about that. You hated me a lot, didn't you?
"No...."
When I replied immediately, my grandfather shouted surprisingly at my unexpected reply.
"Ooh...."
"I'm sorry, I was actually a little happy. Thanks to my grandfather's many years of trying to hate me, it's smoother than I thought... Though I may seem like a lowlife, I was able to get used to my life as a civilian. After that, I was chased by a busy day, and I didn't have time to think about anything else...."
"Hahahaha, what a stupid honest answer. Well, it was worth turning to those who hated me. If you're happy, that's fine. Your parents are worried, but they're not coming here because they want to see you. If you want to see him, meet him somewhere else away from King's Landing, or come to the Mansion dressed up like you're good at."
My God, my parents already knew I lived here.
"Huh? Can I show my face to the Mansion? I was taken care of....."
"It looks good, but no one in my family thinks so. Instead, disguise yourself as if no one else would notice?
I didn't even think about going home in disguise.
I took it for granted that I shouldn't have come near it. It's only been six months since I left home, but I'd like to meet your father, your mother, your brother, and your little sister, Amy. Some of my sidekicks are still working as Amy's sidekicks.
In the exchange of letters with oniisama, I somehow know what's going on at home, but I don't think it's my place to go anymore.
"... I'm not going anyway. Amy still won't understand, and I'm sure... when I go back to the inn, I'll miss her more than before I go to see her."
My grandfather stood up in his seat and walked towards me, holding me softly and gently from above. And a thick, savvy hand clumsily stroked his head.
"You've suffered because I made a mistake. The engagement with His Highness Frederick, who was supposed to protect your power, was a complete failure. I thought His Highness Wang's brother would be the only one to recommend it, but that was a mistake. I'm sorry I did that. Lana, wherever you are, you are our precious family. If you have any trouble, you can count on us."
After squeezing his arms for a moment, Grandpa stood up.
"I'm going now. You'll have a job, too. You can't come out in front of a customer with such a crying face. Wash your face and fix your makeup."
"Ah... yes, Grandpa, thank you for your valuable time. Please come again."
My grandfather was back to normal. Now you can see that love is hidden behind this severity.
When I got up and hugged my grandfather, he left a last unexpected word.
"Lana, I love you. I don't need a drop off. I'll see you later."
"Um, me too! I love you, Grandpa!
Grandpa smiled and left the room.
And a little later, the door was knocked, and Thin came in.
"After all, you were the owner's grandfather. Saying hello to my granddaughter, he called me and Taki and left.... hmm? What, were you crying?
Sin looked at the marks of my tears and looked into his face worried. I don't want to be seen with broken makeup, so I cover Sin's face with my palm and squeeze it back away from me.
"Eh... what is it?
"There's no more delicacy. I don't want to be seen because it's embarrassing. It's already time, right? Wash your face, fix your makeup, and I'll be right there."
"Ah, well... that's good. You've made up with Grandpa... haven't you?
"Yeah... maybe it's a little different from making up.... is that why you came to see me?
Sin lost sight and smiled as if illuminated.
"I'm sorry. Well then, let's get ready downstairs."
"Fufu... thank you, Shin"
I felt that my grandfather and Sin were very similar. Of course, it's not about appearances, it's about inner things.
