I Jennie accompanied her grandfather playing chess.
She looked at the slightly shaking aged hand of her grandfather. Her hand moved forward and grabbed the old man's hand as she peered to his face.
"Don't worry so much, JenJen. I'm just getting old," Chan smiled kindly and raised his hand slowly to mess up Jennie's hair.
The expression on her face showed extreme concern for his condition.
He knew that his granddaughter loved him and didn't wish for him to leave, but he might only have a few months left.
Jennie let her grandfather mess with her hair as she sighed, "Don't lie Grandpa. I know about your condition."
Chan just laughed dryly, "At least, before this old bone returns to the ground, I want to accompany my beloved granddaughter."
"You can stay here, for now, Grandpa."
"Can you convince your husband about this matter? I want to stay with you longer," Chan smiled and retracted his hand back.
It was quite inappropriate for him to do that, but he truly wanted to stay close to her.
"That's impossible, Grandpa," Jennie laughed dryly.
Even if she wanted to, she doubted she could stand having her grandfather accompany her every single day.
He would always be so shameless that she wondered how his ideas never ran out.
"Why? Don't you want me to stay here?"
"I want to, but I'm already married, Grandpa. You can't stay here forever."
Seeing the light in Jennie's eyes, Chan knew that the little lady's patience was running thin.
He has always accompanied the little lass ever since she returned to the Kim Family, allowing him to be part of many important occasions in her life.
However, it was all before she had her own family.
She has grown up. It was a fact that he couldn't forget anymore.
Chan sighed. "At least, let me accompany you for today. I'm sure that your husband won't return anytime soon."
Jennie was about to nod her head when her gaze turned sharp.
Even when she was pregnant, she knew very well the condition of the people around her due to her high martial arts.
She stared at the wall on the side with narrowed eyes.
"Grandpa, we need to get back to the house. Yeji, guard the place," Jennie instructed with a loud voice.
However, her body didn't move from her position for she worried that excessive movement wouldn't do her any good.
From the shadow, Yeji leaped out and confronted the incoming shadow from the wall.
CLANG!
The sound of metal clashing reverberates in the residence as the servants who learned martial arts immediately come out and start to fight against the other assassins.
The sudden chaos caused the other servants to be alarmed.
"Miss, come with me," Xia took Jennie's hand and quickly guided her Miss into the house.
Jennie was unable to walk too quickly for fear she might upset the baby in her stomach.
She was already seven months pregnant and she didn't want any mishap to happen to her child.
The assassin who fought against Yeji sneered, "As expected of the first female general in the Long Kingdom. Even our best assassin cannot hide before her."
He was about to encircle the residence with his men when the little lady suddenly asked her soldiers to attack.
At that moment, he knew that his plan already failed and there was no way they could finish their original plan.
Because of that, he can only order his men to start the attack on the residence and eliminate the little princess as fast as possible.
Yeji moved her hand and blocked the attack with a frown.
Jennie didn't let Yasha stay by her side because she needed him to do other things.
Yeji was the only one protecting Jennie today, so she felt rather overwhelmed when facing this many attacks.
The guards were not enough because the other party's men were too strong.
How in the world did they come into this city overlooked?
Chan looked around him before taking his sword out. The guards in this place were not enough as their number was not too many.
Because Jackson wanted to finish the matter regarding war quickly, many soldiers were sent away to deal with them.
Jennie's eyes widened the moment she saw her grandfather take out his sword.
"Grandpa, you can't fight like before anymore!" she said in a hushed tone.
Chan smiled kindly, "I know, but this old man doesn't have long to live anymore, so let me use my last strength to protect you. This time, I will be the one to protect you."
"What are you talking about, Grandpa? You have been protecting me ever since I was small. Don't you want to see my child born?"
Jennie reached out her hand to her grandfather, but Xia held her because Jennie was not allowed to do anything big for fear of her condition worsening.
"Don't be sad, JenJen. Grandpa will be fine," Chan messed up Jennie's head and turned back.
Jennie looked at her grandfather departing back helplessly. She didn't want her grandfather to go yet.
All along, she knew that he was already old and weakened considerably, but he kept a smile every day and followed her way without questioning them.
All of them just because he wanted to stay with his family even just a second longer.
Her grandfather nearly lost anyone he knew years ago. She and her uncle were all he had.
If he could, he would want to take them away from the Ming Kingdom and live as a small family.
However, Seulgi wanted to make a better future for the Kim Family and she wanted to change their fate, so he followed after them and helped them.
Never even once did he tell them how tired he was with their entire battle and all since he was already old.
I'll forever be on your back.
That was all he said to the two of them when they decided to fight back and regain what belonged to their family before the emperor made the move.
Focusing his attention on his sword, Chan smiled.
At least, let this old bone fight for you for the last time little lass. I can never do much for you all these times.
