The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Chapter 47

“Dad, whose home is this? Very big,” asked Justin while staring in amazement at the magnificent house in front of him.

“This is Grandma Zhu's house. Don't you remember?” bern answered while rubbing the top of his son's head. After driving Renata home, he rushed Justin here. Bern wants to introduce him directly to his grandparents so that Justin is not disturbed anymore.

“Grandmother Zhu?”

With a face so innocent Justin seemed to think of something. Maybe he felt something strange after being told that he was at the grandmother's house that he saw in a dream.

“You down?” ask Bern to offer.

“Dad, Grandma Zhu has no home. Grandma only has swords and horses,”

“Iya Dad knows. This house belongs to your great-grandmother, son. Name of Liona's great-grandmother Serra Zhu. Comein. I'll show you a picture of Grandma. Okay?”

“Umm alright, Father.”

Before exiting, Bern removed the seatbelt on Justin's body first. After that he got down and ran around to open the side door. With a lot of love Bern carrying Justin and bring him into the house that has been three years he never went to. Impressed outrageous indeed. Even when his grandparents died, Bern did not intend to come as a form of his last honor. And this was the first time he had set foot after those two great people had died.

“Young Master Bern, welcome,” greet some guards while bending over. Their expressions showed shock, not expecting that their young master had suddenly come to this house.

“Dad, whose uncles?” justin asked curiously. He looked closely at the people in black uniforms before him.

“They are the guard uncles who are guarding this house,” Bern replied rather worriedly as Justin called him father in front of the guards. She was afraid they would report this to her parents.

“Uncle guard yes?”

“Iya,”

“Justin to come down, Dad.”

Bern nodded. He carefully removed Justin from the sling and then noticed what he wanted to do.

“Hello uncle bodyguard, my name is Justin. I'm the son of Bern's father,” Justin said politely introducing himself to the guards. Not to forget he bowed as the adults in front of him bowed.

“Welcome Young Master Justin. We are bodyguards assigned to guard the home of the late Lady Liona and Mr. Greg,” said one of the guards was anxious to see the way this little boy introduced himself. Very humorous.

“Mrs Liona and Mr Greg?” Justin parroted while frowning. He looked at his father. “Dad, are they Justin's Grandpa and Grandma?”

“Not dear, but they are your great-grandfather. Why indeed? Do you know them?” sahut Bern fad to find out whether the spirit of his grandfather also came to his son or not.

Justin shook his head. After that he shouted loudly while pointing at the tiger statue in the middle of the park. Justin then ran there, no matter if he had just come to the house for the first time.

“Hide our arrival to this house. If you dare to open your mouth, with my own hands I will send you to hell!”threaten Bern while keeping an eye on Justin. “And remember. I'm no longer a young master. Because the title has changed to my son's."

“Good, Mr. Bern. We won't tell anyone about your arrival and Young Master Justin. But just in case can you tell us who Young Master Justin really is? All we know is you're not married,”

“He's my son and Amora. Bladder, not pick up or adoption!”

“What?”

The guards immediately apologized after unintentionally suffocating in shock. Who wouldn't react like this when he learned such a shocking fact. Disappeared for more than three years and suddenly appeared while carrying a child. Want as many people who see it they must be shocked to know this truth. But yes, they have no right to interfere with the affairs that occur in this family.

“What is the basement still in use like it used to?” asked Bern curiously. Three years of leaving this family without exchanging news made Bern feel homesick. Honestly, he misses the warmth in this house.

“Since Lady Liona and Mr. Greg died this house was deliberately vacated, Sir. Everything was transferred to Mr. Karl's museum. And all of that was done in the mandate of Lady Liona herself. He advised that this house should be clean of all things related to the world!” answer one of the guards.

“Then what about their tomb?”

“There's behind the lake, sir. Usually the whole family will come on a pilgrimage once a week. And it just so happens that this week no one has come here yet. You and Young Master Justin are the first.”

“Then what are the crocodiles? Is it still on the lake?”

“Still, Sir. They are the ones who faithfully guard the graves of Lady Liona and Mr. Greg. On certain nights a group of crocodiles will go ashore and surround the tombs of the Master and Lady for a full day. Like a team escorting its commander to war.”

Bern sighed. His grandmother was indeed a warlord, it was only natural that the sharp-toothed beast would submit to him even though his body was already buried in the ground.

“Master Bern, do you want to make a pilgrimage there?”

“Iya. I want to introduce my son to Grandpa and Grandma.”

“So Grandma died first before Grandpa huh?”

“True, Sir. Seventeen days after the Lady died, Mr. Greg went after her. It was then that Mr. Greg planted these flowers as a form of his longing for Madam.”

“Take the flowers for me. Now!”

“Good, Mr.”

It felt like Bern's chest was pierced by a sword after hearing the guard's story. The love and affection that his grandfather had for his grandmother was indeed very extraordinary. But Bern did not expect that at the end of death the grandfather still had time to leave evidence of his love by asking everyone who came on a pilgrimage to spread the favorite flowers of the grandmother. Justjust wonderful.

Could it be that my love story and Amora will be the same as Grandpa Greg and Granny Liona's love story?

While waiting for the guard to finish preparing the flowers, Bern walked up to his son who was cool up and down on the back of the tiger statue. Koni and Gora, yes, this statue must be reserved for them. Although never saw it, but Bern knows that Koni and Gora are the favorite animals of the grandmother. Even their statue was made as a gatekeeper to the tomb resting place of General Liang Zhu.

Bughhhhh

“Ughhhh, broke my waist, Father,” complained Justin after falling to the ground. He then grimaced with the aching, but did not cry.

“Be careful, Son,” exclaim Bern worried.

“It's okay, Dad. Grandma said I can't be whiny. Later Koni and Gora get angry.”

Both of Bern's eyes instantly widened as Justin mentioned his grandmother's pet name. Soon he circulated a glance to confirm something.

Whether you are Grandma Liona or General Liang Zhu, I beg you to disturb my son again. Let him grow up like other kids. Don't push it too far. Can it?

Suddenly, a cold wind came blowing after Bern made a sound like that. Feeling the cold so strong makes the nape of Bern bristles great. He gulped as the atmosphere turned silent and gripping.

“Dad, now Grandma is standing next to Dad. Granny is sad,” Justin said as he pointed to the figure standing next to his father. The figure was like holding back a cry. He felt pity, making his eyes become teary. “Granny don't cry yes. Justin will be sad. Let's play again.”

Bern's lips twitched. Could it be that this woman was apologizing for what she was in nature? Although it seems unreasonable, the karma that must be Bern, Karl, and Flow feel comes from the past actions of this woman. Bern felt guilty for asking him not to bother Justin. He made her sad.

“Grandma, I'm sorry yes. My words may have hurt you. I said it because I didn't want my son to feel the same way that happened to the three of us. Please don't get mad huh?” bern whispered heartily apologized to his grandmother despite being intangible. “And if Grandma wants to apologize, I've forgiven all the mistakes Grandma accidentally made. That mistake has been going on for a long time, so I hope Grandma doesn't feel burdened anymore. Yes?”

The finished guard picked up the flowers choosing not to directly hand them over to Mr. Bern upon seeing him talking to himself. They understand, do not feel at all surprised or afraid. Because when assigned to guard this house they have been told to behave normally if they see something. And this incident is one of them.

“Father-Dad, Granny smiles. Beautiful granny!” justin exclaimed while prancing with pleasure. He forgot that his waist was almost broken due to a fall.

“Really?” sahut Bern terpengharu.

“Iya, Dad. But now Grandma's gone. Grandma drifted there.”

Justin's fingers pointed towards the back of the lake where there were two tombs there. This makes Bern more convinced that the cold wind was a sign that the grandmother was around him. Maybe if this happens to others, they will definitely run away because of fear. In the presence of the dead, who is not afraid. But for Justin and Bern, it's not a scary thing. Really am.

“Dad, let's go there. Grandma is waiting for us with her friend,” Justin said with a big smile as he waved his hand. This boy looked excited to see something that only he could see.

“Whose Grandmother is with, Son?” asked Bern curiously.

“Together with his friend, Dad. The male. The guy is very tall, also handsome like Dad,” replied Justin honestly.

“Really?”

“Iya. Justin didn't lie,”

Grandpa Greg, is that you?

With mixed feelings, Bern turned around to call the guards. He wanted flowers from them.

“This is the flower, sir. Don't forget to pour this water over the graves of Mr. Greg and Mrs Liona,”

“Good. Thank you,”

While holding Justin's tiny hand, Bern stepped towards the grave of his grandparents. The road to the tomb is decorated with clean white flower plants. It's amazingly beautiful. Similar to the park in the fairyland.

Grandpa, Grandma. I came to visit you to introduce my son Justin. She's so sweet, you can see her, right?
