Chapter 77: Gratitude
"One of those women was his childhood friend. Before he was with Luna, she was woman that you can say close to him, not to mention that he had spent almost his entire life in military compound that lack of women" Elder Dam lamented.
"Why they didn't get together after that?"
"Because this woman now is a crown princess"
Senja gasped. "Is she look for a better future?" how pity…
"I don't think so. Initially, they were not really in relationship but she frequently started to visited him here again since Luna passed away"
Senja slapped her grandfather thigh. "Grandfather, maybe they weren't really in relationship to begin. Perhaps it was one sided love"
"Really? You think like that?" Elder Dam quite surprised by this discovery. "And who you think the one who get cold shoulder?" He asked jokingly.
Senja lips twitched. For sure, this old man was really into gossiping mode.
"Absolutely it was the girl!" Senja clicked her tongue with impatient.
"How you can say that?"
"Grandfather, it is very obvious why the girl regularly visit military compound. If it wasn't for met with him, what else her reason?"
"Child, if she likes him why she married with someone else?"
Ck, ck, ck, this grandfather of mine. He is surely an amateur in this kind of things.
"That is because Xiao Tianyou didn't return her feeling"
"Hmm… That's make sense" Elder Dam rubbed his chin when the comprehended dawn to him.
"Of course that was the case!" Said Senja with haughty expression, her chin slightly rise arrogantly.
It wasn't hard to guess the relationship between them, after all she had seen enough about this kind of romance plot stories, unrequited love are quite popular now days.
"However grandfather, what he owed my stepsister until he was willingly having an arrange marriage with her?"
From Senja understanding when she talked about this kind of matter with Yoda, she figure out that this kingdom culture gave the highest importance in marriage matter and they adopted monogamy where man and woman standing equally, shoulder to shoulder for their lifetime.
If the marriage was meant to spend the rest of your life with a single person for lifetime, how Xiao Tianyou casually picked his woman? What kind of thing that he owed her until he came up with this decision?
"Because your step sister was saved his son, hence, your father came up with this suggestion and then, because both side agreed the rest of discussion would come to happen naturally"
"Son?! He has a son?" Her eyes lit up with the shocking news and she almost choked on her saliva. "His life is so colorful I guessed"
Elder Dam rubbed his chin and with reverent tone he replied. "Hmm… you right. His life quite interesting when I thought about it again"
"So, what my stepsister did?"
"Well, Tianyou son, Xiao Mugi, was often throwing tantrum to go outside the estate. When his wet nurse and the bodyguards couldn't handle him anymore they didn't have any choice rather than had to comply with him or else he will throwing tantrum for a day and that event eventually becoming something usual for Tianyou estate. However, one day when Tianyou has business in country Q he happened to bring Mugi along"
"How old he was?"
"He is 5 now but, this happened 2 years ago, so he just 3 years old at that time"
"3 years old kid was able to made people around him complied?" Oh, noble kids in this era are really amazing!
