2 The end of the role

The next day after I realized the end of my happy days are nearing, I went out to visit my grandfather whose mansion is at the corner of the capital, living there in peace.

“Grandfather Ronard.”

“Rhonya, I’m glad you came”

As I jump to his embrace, he gently held me with both hands, then guided me towards a comfortable living room and he then sat on a chair. As I sat by his feet, I started telling him of the recent happenings. Of how I learned new magic, a book I read recently which was interesting and about the spirits I contracted with.

In this world, spirits, sacred beasts, mythical beasts as well as fairies exist. They listen to the ‘request’ of humans and aid their powers to fulfill them. The contents of the requests varies.

Being contracted with them enables humans to request their aid, and vice versa. Since making a contract is not particularly difficult, many nobles have been in a contract at least once.

In addition, one of the tests held in San Crisante Academy since long before requires the student to at least make a contract with spirits once. Once signed, they spirits would be able to request aid anytime needed. Some busy nobles would find it difficult to fulfill all of their requests and most of them would annul the contract after the test. But I did not annul my contract.

Fortunately, my contracted spirit did not request much of me, and so we have a fairly rapport relationship.

“…Rhonya. Do you need a favor from me?” Gently, grandfather began to talk. With a gentle smile in his face, he tilted his head to prompt me.

…Looks like my intentions were all exposed in front of grandfather. I then slowly replied.

“…What if… My engagement with Schneider is annulled… And I am expelled from the Gavizera house?” Putting my hand on his knee, I said so as cheerful as I could be.

“Are you and Scheinder-kun… not doing well together?” Grandfather with a worried expression, I replied him slowly with a nod.

“….Maybe, this won’t go well.” Even while I did not intend to, there was no other answer I could best provide.

“Even though.. I thought I could do my best if Schneider’s with me… But, I’m sure this won’t end well…”

I could do my best even at San Crisante Academy due to Schneider’s recognition.

Because of Schneider’s praises, I could continue looking forward.

Because of Schneider’s support, I could still bear with all of this until now.

But…

“…Please help me, Grandfather. I want a life far away from here and live in peace.” Grandfather, patting my head while lost in thought eventually nodded in response.

“Understood, Rhonya.” His wrinkled hands gently extended to my cheek.

Aaah, what a relief. Grandfather listened to my plea. The only one family who truly loves me, the only family I could truly love.

“Thank you, Grandfather…. I love you so much…”

Afterwards, with the aid of Grandfather’s connection, a suitable house was found. A wonderful house in a city at the border of the country. With the savings I kept over the years, I then handed them over to Grandfather and purchased the house under his name.
