The Duke Daughter Life

13| Visiting Grandma

...HAPPY READING...

Lail's grip on the tote bag is getting tighter. Today he is going home however, the children who had fully recovered two days ago look reluctant to let go of Lail.

The children swarmed and scrambled to hug Lail and even flocked to give gifts in the form of pictures on paper.

Maina smiled with the other colleagues. Who would have thought that Lail who said troublemakers are just nonsense. In reality for Maina, Lail was a noble lady figure full of elegance and a big heart.

"We hope you visit here often" Maina said, according to other administrators.

"I'll take the time. Thank you for all your help and guidance to me." Lail lowered her head as respect which was then answered directly and simultaneously by the caretaker

After bidding farewell, Lail entered the horse carriage and was escorted by Daval. Daval comes at Lail's behest through a letter sent to Naika.

When he reached the mansion, Lail was warmly welcomed by Anom and even invited Lail to have a private conversation regardless of Redia standing by his side.

Anom asked a lot of things ranging from the feelings and impressions of Lail since being there also brought up the problem of food poisoning. Anom got the information from the doctor Lail called at the time from Maina.

After finishing the conversation, Lail finally returned to the room, but it seems he had a guest, Redia.

Redia is in the living room of the Lail residential area. Lail provided drinks and snacks at the table and looked at Redia.

"Is your condition much better? Aren't you poisoned?" Lail asked with a pity.

Redia tightened her jaw. Since being poisoned, Redia asks her personal bodyguard to search for Octal, but Octal is no longer in Raitle besides, Redia is convinced that Lail is the mastermind of Octal's betrayal.

"Ah, did your throat break so you can't make a sound?" cibir Lail while holding back laughter and successfully worsened the look on Redia's face.

"Sister did all this, right?!" redia tuding.

"Hm? Whatchu mean?" Lail pretended not to understand.

"Sister told Octal to poison me!"

"Gd ... Toxicating? Isn't Octal your servant? How could you be poisoned by your own servant?" Lail's laughter made Naika and Daval who did not understand the situation look at each other.

"I know my brother did it. So it's better not to try to run away from mistakes!"

Lail stopped laughing and moved to add three square-shaped frozen sugars to his tea.

"Your tongue is too bitter, try drinking tea with lots of sugar. Let not the bitter taste in your tongue be rooted to your conscience." Lail's eyes moved upwards, pounding Redia's netra so vile that Redia felt her hair bristling.

"I'll go back to my room!" Redia stood up and gawked while Lail exhaled in disappointment.

"It's a pity for the tea."

...***...

"Four days your grandmother's age will be 74, won't you want to see her?"

Anom's question stopped Lail from eating breakfast. Grandma of his father or his mother? Lail was confused, there was no way she would ask now that Rebelia and Redia were eating with him.

"I'll visit him, Father," replied Lail.

Anom smiled bitterly. "I want to see your grandmother, but I feel ashamed to face her since I failed to protect her daughter."

Lail stared at Anom. "his daughter? Is that my mom? Then it's mom's grandmother, yeah."

From his position, Redia kept silent while looking at Lail then asked, "When will you go there?"

Lail's tongue was suddenly heavy to answer Redia's question, but Anom and Rebelia were curious about it.

"Alright, then father will prepare for your departure. You just have to be ready tomorrow" said Anom, who was taken by Lail.

"Thank you, Dad."

...***...

The next day, the sky was dark and the rain slowly became heavy. Lail breathed out even though today she was going to go to her grandmother's place.

As per the information obtained, Lail's grandmother's name was Linav and lived in a village called Agapi, not far from Gazea. Lail had to pass through a path near the edge of the forest, a slightly enslaved path.

"Miss sure you don't want to go with me?" Naika memelas's.

Lail shook his head then glanced at Daval. "I'm sorry, Naika, Sir Daval just drove me and back."

Naika exhaled a heavy breath and then just complied. Well, maybe Lail wants to spend some time in person with her grandmother there, Naika thought.

The rain had started to subside and Lail had immediately entered the horse carriage accompanied by Daval. Lail had also said goodbye to Anom and Rebelia before.

"How's your sister doing?" Lail asked Daval who was sitting so tense from facing him. The horse carriage had already left the mansion.

"It's-it's better, Miss."

"If you're in trouble, tell me Sir Daval."

Daval smiled clumsyly, Lail's words as if knocking on his heart until he consciously told a little story of his life.

"Both of my parents are dead and now I only have a 15-year-old sister as my family. He lives far enough away from where I work, so from that, yesterday I took a long leave because he was sick and afraid to be alone. Thanks to Miss's help, I've gone through that predicament, thank you very much, Miss!"

Lail was stunned, it turned out that Daval was not as good as he thought. Daval is quite popular among the women in his residence, plus Daval has a prominent charisma that makes him like from a family of being.

Lail stayed silent for a long time, thought hard and then gained an epiphany. "Who's your sister's name?"

"Silina."

"I'm sorry if this offends you, is your sister studying at an academy?" Lail asked cautiously.

Daval bit his lower lip and lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed to say this. "T-no. Actually Seina quit school because we were in debt even though I insisted on persuading her, but Seina refused because we had to pay off our parents' debts while living."

Lail's breathing was like a stall in the throat, how difficult Daval's life as a first child was.

"Bring him to me, Sir Daval. If you don't mind, I want to make her my personal servant just like Naika. He'll continue his education and stay with me so you don't have to be away from him."

Daval's blood rippled, his stomach tingling and being crowded with something that made his body stiffen. Is this the happiness he is trying to hold back? Daval.

"W-do I deserve it, miss?" Daval asked skeptically, but the question drowned Daval in Lail's sincere smile.

"of course. You even deserve more than that Sir Daval because you do things to protect me" Lail said.

When Lail had such a bad personality, only Daval survived and accepted. Perhaps because of his economic condition, but Lail knew that Daval was a loyal man to his master, no matter which master he was a mad criminal.

"Thank you very much, Non—"

Daval's words were interrupted when the horse-drawn carriage began to oscillate and there was an irregularity in the wheels. Daval grabs Lail, clutching her tightly as the carriage enters the enslaved road that makes the chariot roll onto the steep surface, taking Daval and Lail out and rolling over from the edge of the forest, jump further into the forest.

Lail could do nothing but scream loudly and grimace as Daval detached from him, the two men smashed into the rocks and twigs. At that moment, when Lail glanced up to see what made her fall, Lail glanced over, the coachman's smile managed to make Lail's breath choked before finally a rock hit Lail's body until unconscious to the bottom.
