My Father is a Hero, My Mother is a Spirit, the Daughter (Me) is a Reincarnator.-Chapter 26: The End of Alberts Matter
Chapter 26: The End of Albert's Matter
Translator:Masakibluei
Albert who is been called by Rovel, is standing faithfully as he awaits to listen to Rovel speaking.
Rovel: “Do you understand why I call you?”
Albert: “……Yes.”
Rovel: “I heard that you were acting as a spy for the sake of our family. But do you have anything to say for the fact that you were using my daughter as a trade-off?”
Albert: “………I’m truly sorry!!”
Albert bows down and makes a heartfelt apology. In the beginning, he thought he was doing the best thing. However, he never imagined that Ellen would deliberately say that he was bringing more trouble instead. Ellen’s example of the relationship between the Vankriff family and Agriel as a comparison was easy to understand. Because of this, Albert understood the whole situation so quickly and was able to be persuaded so easily.
Rovel: “Did you really cut your relationship with His Highness?”
Albert: “It’s true. When I sent back the reply from Lady Ellen, I also told His Highness that it would be the last time I would be in contact with him.”
Rovel knows that Albert was saying the truth because he had been watching everything from his wife’s water mirror.
Rovel: “………”
Rovel keeps staring at Albert for the whole time. Right at this moment, Albert who has been watching Rovel’s family from behind just a few moments ago is experiencing Rovel’s wrath and coming to understand his feeling. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
Agriel, who was the caused of Vancriff Family’s dire situations, was driven off out of the house just a couple days ago. Before she was driven off, Albert had been resiliently filling up complains for each of Agriel’s evil deeds to the royal family because he wanted to save the Vankriff house whom he was indebted to. The one who listened to his complaints was His Highness Lafissel.
Rovel: “You have no clue about the feud between the Royal Family and the spirits. I know that you were totally clueless. But, because of you, the Royal Family now have their eyes on Ellen. “ 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦
Albert: “……”
When Rovel pointed it out, Albert started to feel really guilty. If this matter was handled poorly, it would become like Agriel’s matter again.
In the meantime, t
he room is engulfed in stillness. No one is speaking another word. After a while, Rovel breaks the silence.
Rovel: “Ellen told me that I have to talk to you.”
Then Rovel lets out a sigh and continue to talk again.
Rovel: “Unless I have a proper conversation with you, Ellen won’t talk to me. “
For a moment, Albert doesn’t understand what Rovel was saying. When Rovel sees Albert’s confusion, he gets annoyed and continue to talk.
Rovel: “Do you understand……why Ellen burned His Highness’ letter without reading it?”
Rovel’s condemning words continue to pierce Albert’s chest one by one.
Ellen is the same age as Agriel’s daughter. She is an 8 years old girl. On the contrary to her outward appearance, she is able to see through the circumstance and makes her own judgment accordingly. She is similar to Rovel when he was young.
Albert: “Lady Ellen burned the letter……to save me.”
Even though the letter was burned, it did not change the fact that it was a letter from His Highness. If he handed the letter to Ellen, the Vankriff house would kick him out. If he did the opposite, His Highness would take his life as punishment. The one who saved him out from this conflict was Ellen.
Rovel: “Did you aware? Not only my Father………My daughter also saved your life. “
Albert: “I absolutely understand.”
Albert thought he was doing the right thing, but he actually brought more problems into the Vankriff house. Consequently, Albert starts to loath himself for his foolishness.
Rovel: “……I don’t trust you.”
Albert obediently accepts Rovel’s distrust. He understands that he brings this to himself, and when he thinks of the possibility of being kick out from the Vankriff house, his face turns pale.
Rovel: “You will be under observation for the moment.”
Albert: “Yes.”
This is a given. Thus, Albert hangs his head down really low.
Rovel: “I return you to Sauvel’s aide position.”
Albert: “…E?”
Rovel: “You did not hear what I said?”
Albert: “Y,yes I did!”
Rovel: “You should say thank you to Ellen. “
Soon after he finishes speaking, Rovel goes out of the room. Albert who remains in the room is stunned. When Rovel called for him, Albert had prepared himself that Rovel would cut his head off. However, the current situation is completely different from what he expected.
Albert: “…I”
Albert’s small voice echoes inside the room. His life was saved by the previous Vankriff Head and this time, Rovel’s daughter saved his neck from being cut off. Afterward, inside the empty room by himself, Albert closes his eyes, puts his right hand on top of his chest, and bows down deeply.
Albert: “The next time…even if I have to sacrifice my life.”
Albert keeps his posture and bows down for a while.
