The Returnee Noble Lady Attacks His Majesty the Dragon Emperor

”

“You’re really young.
How old are you.”

“…I’m 11-years-old.”

“Ooh, how wonderful.”

The girl responded to the question.
In the meantime, Hadith was beaming.

Her grandma continued with a smile.

“I met grandpa in a matchmaking session when I was an adult.
Grandpa had a childhood friend whom he had been together with since they were little.”

Although the story sounded familiar, Yuna had no idea what the story entailed.

…The girl must had thought the same.
As if confused, Jill nodded vaguely.

“I, I see, that’s—umm, complicated…”

“That’s right.
His childhood friend knew everything about him.
Moreover, even though they were man and woman, they were best friends.
They were like family.
Do you understand? Because of that, I felt very frustrated.
Also, due to the fact that grandpa was five years older than me, I ended up feeling like an extra.”

“O, okay…”

The girl was nodding back in a diplomatic manner.
The grandma then slowly reached out for the girl’s cheek.

“I’m truly happy for you, Hadith-chan.
You get to be alone with your wife while she is this cute.”

The girl’s purple eyes went wide.

Looking up at the grandma, Hadith quickly embraced the girl.

“That’s right! Well, when we first met, Jill was about this tall.
You see? About the height of my abdomen—”

“—Hold up, Your Majesty…”

“But as of the present, she’s this tall…—”

Hadith pointed under his chest.

“It’s only slightly, but she’s getting taller.”

“That’s right, but since you’re 11-years-old, she’s around the age where she’ll grow steadily.”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it, but I’m worried.”

Hadith’s shoulders dropped.
Grandma smirked mischievously.

“Are you worrying about when she becomes a beautiful woman?”

“Yes, but even now, she’s both cute and awesome!”

“That’s tough, but it’s alright… It’s better to be together all the time, don’t you think so, too?”

The girl, who was asked, blinked then answered meekly.

“Yes, but it’s a shame that I couldn’t see His Majesty when he was still a child…”

“Ah, you not seeing me during that phase of my life is alright…”

“But I’m delighted I was able to meet His Majesty now, instead of six years later.”

Why six years later?

Do those words have a profound meaning?

That was a future story that had nothing to do with Yuna.
Them being able to become lovers and get married six years later wouldn’t be strange.
Therefore, she couldn’t grasp the meaning behind those words.

“Everyone gets old.
As of the present, everyone is currently at their prime.”

Perhaps feeling nervous, the girl leaned forward a little.

“A, also, the bread from this afternoon was very delicious!”

“Oh, I’m happy to hear that.”

“I understand why His Majesty recommended them to me! Can I buy a lot tomorrow to take home?”

“Of course.”

“Uh, Jill, umm… what about my bread?”

“Your Majesty’s bread can always be eaten later! I can only buy grandmother’s bread at Radea!”

“B, but of course…”

She laughed at Hadith’s face which appeared a little depressed.

On the other hand, Yuna felt lonely.

Bread that could only be brought from Radea.
Both that girl and Hadith would eventually leave.

I heard that the Grand Duke of Radea will be inaugurated tomorrow.

Then, would they be leaving the day after tomorrow or a little further? It was a story of the future that would eventually arrive.

“Then, let’s do our best tomorrow.”

Hence, grandma’s words echoed in Yuna’s heart.
