…Was the real dominator of this world actually Grandma?
But I was still curious .
“Aunt Julie . ”
“What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t you curious, aunty? Apparently, there are several young girls on the team . ”
“Well, I didn’t notice that . ”
“Why? Is it because you trust Uncle Dis?”
“Yes . But… Little Ka . ”
“What, Sister Julie?”
She actually called her Sister Julie…
“Can I tell him?”
“Ah… No . Let me fill him in . ”
“…Really?”
What’s going on? Her face suddenly turned blue .
“Shin, Sister Julie won’t worry about me and brother Dis having an affair . ”
She actually called him brother Dis…
“Because… At that time, I… already had my lifelong lover . ”
“Well~ I see… What! Saint has a lover!?”
She had a boyfriend . That was why she told Aunt Julie not to be worried . Loud screams covered my words abruptly before I could voice my thoughts .
The ones yelling were Cecil, Adolph, and Alice’s father Glenn, who was the chairman of the Walford chamber of commerce .
“How, how could… that innocent and lovely Saint has a lover…”
“Haha… I suppose I heard it wrong, right?”
“It’s a dream . I must be dreaming…”
It seemed like they were mumbling something .
Besides, the three of them were of the same age .
Was she supposed to be an idol at that time?
“Darling?”
“Stop this ugly act . Maria is watching you . ”
“Unbelievable, father! How embarrassing! Please, behave yourself!”
Three of my uncles heard the cold voice from Irene and Maltina and an ashamed one from Maria .
The trio felt embarrassed about their panic .
“Ah, but…”
“I heard somebody said Pope Ekatarina was single before . ”
“It has been told that her lover left her . ”
“No, not left her . ”
“What?”
Maybe she noticed what I was going to ask, so she answered with a sad expression .
“Because he was gone…”
It was exactly what I thought .
Because Saint said she had a lifelong lover, I wondered if it was maybe like that .
“I am sorry, I made you remember sad memories . ”
“It’s all right . It was 20 years ago, and I saw it through . Compared to that…”
“What’s wrong?”
“…No, nothing at all . Well, don’t call me Pope Ekatarina . Can you just call me Ekatarina? Being called by master’s grandson this way, I have a feeling beyond description . ”
“Oh, Okay . I see . ”
“Well, remember to call me by this name . ”
“I understand, Ekatarina . ”
“Aha, well done . ”
It seemed like it was a huge relief for everyone after I said Ekatarina, and they all showed me relaxed expressions .
But I was asked to call her like that . There was no other way, right?
And Ekatarina herself seemed satisfied with it, and then she went to Grandma .
“So, finally, let the party begin . To everybody, today we are all equal in every way at this party . Eat up and get drunk! And happy birthday to our hero!”
The party kicked off with Uncle Dis’s toast .
Though it was strange to me, I had to accept the fact…
After Diseum’s toast, everybody grabbed their bears and started drinking . Ekatarina went to Marlene and Melinda to ask something .
“Teacher and Master . Have you told Shin that stuff?”
The teacher was Marlene .
“…Because it has nothing to do with Shin . ”
“Nothing? Do you really think so?”
Ekatarina was surprised to hear what Marlene said .
To say why…
“Even though that guy… Are Slane and your son both?”
Ekatarina gazed at Marlene and Melinda as she spoke .
“Shin regards Teacher and Master as real grandparents and respects them . I can tell it from his eyes, and It’s so obvious . Why do you deny it?”
“What?”
The deliberately provocative way in which Ekatarina talked made Melinda angry .
They kept staring at each other . Melinda frowned with wrinkles and veins throbbing on her forehead . Ekatarina was so nervous that her heart was sweating .
If they didn’t have to look at different directions of the table to get bears and food easily, one of them would be forced down by the heavy atmosphere .
Such a sense of tension was floating above the air .
“Wait, wait… You two?”
Only Aaron got involved in this situation .
Staring at each other for a while, Melinda finally sighed and said .
“…One day, I’ll say it”
“…Okay . ”
There was no other way for Melinda to say anything else after Ekatarina intentionally incensed her .
After thinking through, Melinda eliminated the irrational anger and calmed down .
While Seeing Master’s concession, Ekatarina felt at ease and apologized for her offensive behavior, which she didn’t mean to .
“Sorry Master, I said something arrogant . ”
“Hum . The little girl has grown up . Obviously, you would be scared to death if I called your name before . ”
“Wait . That was a long time ago . ”
“Aaron, you haven’t changed… always bewildered and nervous . ”
“Eh? Me, does it matter?”
Looking at how Aaron got involved, Ekatarina laughed out a little . The tension was released .
“Certainly as what you said . I didn’t tell him because he didn’t ask . This excuse was too heartless . ”
“Though I understand how you feel…”
“Was it wrong not to tell Shin…”
Marlene and Melinda had a miserable past .
Though we should tell those we care about and get along well, this time was different .
Shin was family .
Even if not related by blood, he was still a grandson they raised with love and affection .
