Fran hesitated to open the gate, but she did not want any strange rumors to be spread about her father, who had just been reinstated as a court magician, so she reluctantly invited Nancy into the house.
She tried to go straight into the house, but Fran stood in the way.
(The last time I saw this man, he had a look of contempt for my father.)
But Nancy, whom I met again after several years, was clearly tired.
Her hair and skin were unkempt, her eyes lacked strength, and she was not well groomed.
She was wearing a long skirt and blouse, which is not unusual in a castle town, but her clothes were also dirty.
The Nancy Fran remembers was a bit fastidious, but it was clear to her that things can change after a few years of not seeing each other.
"It's been a long time, Fran."
"Don't call me names like that."
Nancy tries to treat her as a mother, and Fran gives her an uncomfortable look. However, Nancy does not care and touches Fran's body.
She may be trying to have skinship with Nancy, but she feels disgusted, as if a snake were coiling around her, and she shakes off Nancy's hand.
"Come on, I'm your mother. You don't have to be so mean to me."
"How can you say that after you left me and your father?"
Frankly, I don't even want to have this conversation.
Considering Nancy's appearance and the timing of her visit, it was easy to imagine what would happen next.
"I apologize for that! I must have been out of my mind. But, you know, I have my reasons."
I don't know. You left the day after your father resigned as court wizard."
"That's..."
Fran interrupts Nancy's attempts to make excuses with an exasperated tone.
Whatever the reason, it doesn't change the fact that she left without a word to her father or herself.
I don't want to hear excuses or anything. I'm busy, what can I do for you?"
I need to speak to your husband.
You don't have to.
Please, Fran!
"Huh. I'll tell him for you, just tell me."
"Or ......."
Most of them may be naively thinking that my father will forgive them if they keep making excuses and apologizing to him, but I won't let them.
Fran, as well as Delight, have already put Nancy in the past.
No matter how much fuss they make about it, nothing will change.
But as a daughter, she did not want to bother her father who had just started a new life.
"If you don't want to tell me, go home. Or do you want to be kicked out?"
Even if it had been her mother, Fran would have beaten her out as she said. Reluctantly, Nancy opened her mouth to tell Fran how serious she was.
"...... I get it. I heard that the Master has returned to being a court wizard."
"So?"
"So I thought it might be a good idea to get back together."
"--what?"
It wouldn't look good for him to be single, would it? So, you know?"
"...... don't be silly."
"Fran?"
Fran shivered with anger.
She had never imagined that the day would come when she would be so angry with her birth parents.
She resisted the urge to punch the woman in front of her, and instead raised her voice.
"Don't play with me! How shocked your father was when you left! If you're my wife, you should support me! How dare you show your face now after running away!"
"And I was young then, so I'm making amends now."
Nancy's words were hushed by Fran's swordsmanship, but she still had no intention of backing down.
"I'm telling you, I know.
"What are you doing?"
"And that you became the wife of a merchant. And that you were driven away by a young mistress, and driven out of your home with your children. ...... From the looks of you, I'd say you're living a poor life."
"Yes, that's right! Fran's brother has no clothes to wear and has trouble eating. So please, let the master welcome him back."
"Shut up!"
Fran's anger grows at his brazenness.
Abandoning her family to marry into a merchant family, having children, and being kicked out by her lover were all consequences of Nancy's choices.
Delight should not have to clean up the mess.
I don't have a brother! I don't care who you have children with!
"--Fran! Don't you have any feelings at all?
"You left your father and took up with a man too soon! You married your father for his position and money!
"What's wrong with that? Not all noble marriages are like that!"
When Nancy finally reopened her mouth, Fran laughed at her and said, "You know, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it again.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Your father gets offers of marriage every day. And not with an old lady like you, but with a well bred young girl.
"Oh, no. They're probably just girls offered up by families looking for money and power!"
"So you don't tell me!"
Even a marriage with an ulterior motive to take advantage of my father's position and his marriage is better than being back with this woman.
Do you think there are other women who can make you happy besides me?
"That's why you're the one--"
I'm right here!
"What?"
Heh?"
A voice interrupted the argument between Fran and Nancy, the voice of an unfamiliar girl.
She stopped speaking and turned around to see Rachel Isle-Sky, the second princess of the Kingdom of Sky with her arms folded and her chest outstretched,
"Um, excuse me, excuse me for disturbing you."
"I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly."
"Good day to you, Fran, sir."
There was Sam with an awkward look on his face, Lise, and Stella with a smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
