The people’s eyes were glued to the gracious lady walking towards the stage. Their eyes were wide and filled with disbelief as they began whispering to each other.
“W-who is she? That’s not Miss Sanae!”
“Didn’t you hear? The master didn’t say “daughter”, he said “granddaughter”!”
“What?! So this means, it wasn’t Miss Sanae who is returning but her daughter? Miss Sanae’s daughter?!”
“I can’t believe this. Miss Sanae’s daughter is already a grown up lady and she’s just…”
“Yeah, she’s beautiful. No, ’beautiful’ is an understatement. She’s the most magnificent woman I’ve ever seen in my life! She can easily beat the top celebrity in our country with just her face alone!”
“You’re right, she looks like a goddess. Our new Miss is a goddess!”
“Why are you even still surprised? The main family had always been blessed with beauty since the ancient times. That was why most of our country’s kings’ wives came from our clan. All the most beautiful queens in the history of our country came from our clan, after all.”
“Now that you mention it! God, it seems like our generation was blessed with a beauty that might compete or even surpass all the beauties of our clan since ancient times!”
Most of the clan members were all full of love and praises for the beautiful woman on the stage, however, inevitably, some were not as delighted.
“Yes, yes, she’s beautiful. But what’s the use of beauty in our generation? Hello, the monarchy was long demolished and even the Royals are becoming extinct. There’s no king anymore that could turn her into his queen!”
“You’re right. So what if she’s beautiful? In this modern world, nothing is more important now than money. Appearance is only third to money and intelligence!”
“Yeah, I don’t really care if this granddaughter is back now. She must be just a poor woman who wanted to claim her title as a member of the main family because she was now suffering! This pisses me off.”
“I agree, look at her… she looks like a fragile pretty vase. Our clan’s beauties weren’t just the king’s wives, they were warriors. Some of them were even generals and strategists. They were beauties with brains and vigor and bravery. How dare they compare her to our ancestors! That’s blasphemy! This woman is nothing like them!”
As everyone started get louder as contradicting opinions came out, Davi took the mic and spoke.
“Good evening. My name is Davi and I’m truly happy to meet you all tonight.” She said and when old Mizuhara clapped his hands, everyone also followed suit, including the bitter creatures.
Hearing their claps, Davi smiled as she looked at them. Truth be told, that time when Davi told her mother that she wanted to pursue success and power so that nobody would dare question her worth and position beside the man she loved, Sanae told her about her family background. Of course, Davi was surprised to hear that her mother wasn’t just a renowned scientist but also belonged to a powerful noble family.
Her mother suggested to her that if she wanted a powerful background she should go back to the Mizuhara family and introduce herself to them. She said that just by being a part of that family would be enough to give her power. However, Davi didn’t like the idea of going back to them for such a reason. Although she planned to go and visit her grandparents, she believed that she could be powerful without using their family name. After all, her world class inventions and the businesses she established were enough for her to get the status she wanted.
However, things changed when she found out that her Sei was also a royal. Davi thought that going back to the Mizuhara family would give her the unquestionable background to be able to stand beside Sei. Sei was a royal and she was a noble. Nobody would question her worth. And besides, wasn’t she just returning to the place where she was supposed to belong? No matter what, she was a member of that family and there was nothing wrong about letting the world know she was.
Thus, Davi decided to go and meet her own grandparents. She just wanted them to acknowledge her but she didn’t plan to go back and live with them. After all, her life now was in country C and she didn’t want to just be a noble lady staying in the house.
She had Sei and Little Shin now and they were her family from now until forever. But when she met her grandparents, she was surprised at how they reacted so lovingly and were so accepting the moment they saw her.
Her mother didn’t tell her but her grandparents actually already knew about her and that they’ve been waiting for years for her to visit them. Davi was surprised to see that she’d long been listed into the family’s registry and that her grandparents were really lovable, something that made Davi’s heart feel stuffed with gladness.
