192 When the clock bell rings multiple times (3)
“Oh My God.”
Sir Elizabeth was astonished. Even so, it was a face he knew.

On the night of the Harvest Festival Parade, one of the grandmothers had a stall in a narrow alley.
The kind old woman who gave me an apology.
It was Pom’s grandmother who was said to have died after being hit by a wagon, and it was ‘Madame Victoire’.
However, the old man was taken away with other grandmothers, and was questioned and released without charge.
The prince frowned. I too was perplexed because I didn’t know that Grandma Pom was the same person.
“It’s not your fault, dear princess. It’s not the guys’ fault. Cool! It’s just that I’m an old man…”
The woman said, coughing and laughing.
Her hair reflected in the moonlight was no ordinary earth color.
Thin hair full of white hair flew aimlessly.
Kristel stared blankly at her.
“Marquis Jesse said that Grandma Pom was alive. But how…”
“When you get to my age, you don’t have any doubts. no one looks suspicious That’s the trick.”
Cool cool! The old man coughed like he was about to break. Blood dripped from his thin lips.
I quickly pulled out the handkerchief, but Grandma Pom waved her hand.
“There are many cases where they do not receive the carriage pay because they are pitiful. If you say you have black eyes, they believe you, and if you say you don’t have the strength to walk, then you do. No one finds it strange to peek through the wall at dawn. An old man over seventy, hey!”
Her body twitched briefly. We panicked and took a step closer.
But the old man stood with his hands on his knees.
Two deep eyes were emitting a light that did not lose to the moonlight.
“It’s a threat…. Who would consider me a threat? I’m a clown who jumps on the roof…”
“You’re also good at mimicking the vocal cords.”
I added softly. Then she laughed as if it was funny.
His face brightened in an instant, and he looked just like a seven-year-old child.
It was a face of innocence and joy.
“What happened that night…. I’m saddened. Thank you it was fun. I digested two roles, used all the energy of my body, and fell ill. When our clever guy told us to retire…”
‘I should have heard that.’ With a whisper, her body collapsed.
Without counting back and forth, I ran and grabbed the old man’s head and hugged him.
‘majesty!’ Sir John’s disapproving voice faded away.
sucks. The body wrapped around his arm was very light and small. The skeleton was strong, but that was all.
I instinctively knew she was taking her last breath.
The woman looked up at me and shook her head.
“Not pretty. How precious… Would you do that to someone like me?”
My teeth went numb.
“Did the Andrégies abandon their children? Did Grandma become so alone?”
“Henriette was angry. I even forgot why I was angry…”
She pursed her lips.
Christel approached cautiously and sat across from me, listening to the old man.
I looked into the friendly eyes of the main character.
“I don’t even remember. Was it the pre-war Count who abandoned me? That would be so important to nothing. As always, I was an ordinary orphan. Henriette… Airao, abandoned by the present Count Andrégé.”
It was a shocking statement. I looked at Prince Sedric.
Flames were burning in his orange eyes.
The old woman’s story continued as if it was going to end.
25 years ago.
As usual, she was wandering around with the clowns, and while she was homeless in the forest near the castle of Andrésie, she witnessed someone throwing away a basket.
He was the count’s servant who came to see the stunts.
At midnight, it was very difficult to leave it in a dark place to avoid the gaze of others.
Grandma checked the contents of the basket after he left.
A child who was supposed to be about two years old was sleeping in a silk robe. That was Henriette.
“why? Why did you abandon innocent babies?”
Christel asked, crying. Grandma made a gurgling sound and spit blood.
I hurriedly put my head up to avoid blood getting into the airways.
There was a lot of pain in the deep fanned eye wrinkles.
“Cool. I’m sick… That was all I knew. Abandoned illegitimate children, all told that they were sick… I was weak here…”
She raised her trembling fingers and pointed to her lungs.
His palms were red with dried blood and fresh blood.
“Henriette, you slept a lot. Was it also a terrible disease for nobles? Heh heh.”
She looked like she didn’t know if she was smiling or crying. Count Soh sharply sharpened his teeth.
“The Count Andrésie is known for his distinctive decisive tendencies. perhaps······. Perhaps he was trying to erase an existence that could be a blemish on the family.”
“·················ogue.”
The prince was as silent as the eve of the storm.
The reason Henriette’s hometown, abandoned by Andréges, was listed as the Baron of Verand, was because it was rare for a lord to accept orphans.
However, Baron Berang at that time was not a disposition to overlook the difficult.
Two years after wandering the country with the clown, Henriette became a child of the poor baronies of the South.
Grandma’s eyes traced beyond the starlight.
“Last spring, we watched the Great Beast Subjugation together and went back to the inn……. confided Where did you pick up the child, and what family the child is from? I still don’t know why I did that.”
We didn’t even dream of it.

On a spring day when pale pink petals were embroidered everywhere, two women were watching us from the audience.
“The person who came alone as a hostage is also very active… What does Henriette lack to be a street acrobat? Phil had such a cheeky thought. I don’t even know the subject.”
Grandma Self-Assisted The brave man sitting on my shoulder shook his head.
I said quietly.
“Baron Savannier, who has a estate next to Andrégie, suffered the first damage from Victoire. It’s May. That was Henriette’s crime.”
“Ah, it wasn’t the first time…”
She wriggled her hand.
It looked like he was trying to search his arms, but he didn’t have the strength to even pick up his robe.
Kristel, unable to see her, helped her grandmother and opened her inner pocket.
Eventually, what hung on my rough fingertips was an old notebook,
“Oh my gosh.”
It was a dazzlingly gorgeous diamond necklace. Kristel and I opened our mouths.
Seeing our reaction, Grandma chuckled.
“To kill…. Henriette went to kill the Count, Cool Look! just stole it I will never be able to kill. natural shit. How man, man! Kellogg, Kellogg!”
She couldn’t stop coughing for a while. I bit my lip.
I know it’s so serious that I can’t fix it, but I wanted to try.
“I will open a healing circle.”
“No, no. That’s not right······. If the phantom thief is caught, the excitement will not be broken. The clown should go play on stage.”
Gulping, she gulped something up her throat.
Then he looked at me and cried.
‘It’s not right for me to feel guilty about it, Jangsarao, Marquis-sama.’
“So we changed the route. Not murder, but theft.”
The father said lowly. Grandma groaned and ate.
“Yes. It was… He’s hot as a fireball with revenge. Did you say that you would definitely paint the house that gave your grandmother a hard time? I even forgot how to be angry. what is that What’s so sad about being abandoned? There are no orphans.”
Then he kept his mouth shut. A thick stream of blood ran down her cheeks.
I realized that she was holding back a tremendous amount of sadness.
Sir John, who had been silently listening, said.
“It was Henriette who was hit by the wagon.”
“flaw······.”
Grandma’s face contorted. Kristel pressed her eyes tightly with a handkerchief.
The water did not dry up, but the hand of the protagonist did not stop either.
“Andrade. In that family, he was hit by a wagon…”
“Lord, Lord.”
Sir Elizabeth looked up into the air. I was dumbfounded and blinked my eyes.
Unexpected. We were too clumsy to dare to imagine such a tragedy.
“The only thing left to do is to perform at the marquis’ palace, receive a generous compliment, and become more famous……. There were so many things I couldn’t do when I was young. Food I’ve never tried, places I haven’t been to… But the Count’s coachman won’t give me gold coins.”
Whoops! Finally, a fire erupted at the prince’s feet.
I immediately unfolded the Holy Land and captured him.
Although he released the ether to calm him down, the man did not subside easily.
He didn’t reject me, but the flames of rage were fierce.
Conversely, the grandmother’s voice became very low.
“I’ll hit you hard, so go and cremate the body……. Don’t go around talking nonsense. That was it. Nobles in chariots do not even look at me.”
I stared blankly at her wrinkled forehead and pale cheekbones. How could that be?
How could this be?
“So I decided to follow up. What the child couldn’t get, what he couldn’t achieve, what he couldn’t pay back… to do it for you But there is no time.”
‘This time······.’ She lamented, as if singing. It was just as my friends and I had guessed.
The reason Victoire suddenly announced that he was going to steal me was because she couldn’t afford it.
The woman wanted to get the maximum impact before she died, and she hoped that the name ‘Andrégie’ would come and go in the mouth of everyone.
But he really didn’t mean to attack me.
I was planning to keep my attention on the Yellow Capital due to the kidnapping riot, and then break into my estate and steal the portrait.
Through this, what she ultimately longed for was the gaze of the imperial family.
Not for self-gratification, but for retaliation.
“The Marquis had a good laugh. At that age, the talents of the acrobatic troupe are boring enough… It was a clever group to come out to the bar to get me out. I wanted to play with you to the fullest, but heck!”
she inhaled heavily. Black blood dripped down his chin.
I clasped my trembling hands tightly. The prince approached silently and stood behind me.
His fire was warm, and the tension seemed to have subsided a little.
“Collock. I have only left a card like a will… He was a boring clown.”
“No, it was good. We couldn’t interpret the Tarot, so we wrapped our heads around each other. I only found out because this friend helped me.”
I smiled broadly and pointed to the perseverance. Fortunately, the voice came out intact.
Then, Grandma Pom raised the corners of her eyes.
“Thank you for the words. I’m out of energy, so I can’t even lift a canvas… It has become a mountain mortuary.”
She slowly turned her head.
Kristel moved gently, opening Grandma’s view.
A large, pure white moon filled the black sky and clear lake.
Two bright lights, like the eyes of Shinju, faced the thief.
“Still, I wonder if that moon is that child. Neither the full moon nor the last moon… I wonder if that is nothing but our belongings.”
The ending was barely audible. The woman’s breathing became weaker every moment.
I couldn’t take my lips off of it, but Sir John knelt in front of me and sat down.
“majesty. You have to do it even if it hurts. That way we can help both of them.”
There was no shaking in his voice. Mint-colored eyes shone resolutely.
I shut my mouth.
[Lord, please forgive me for the lie Isa told me.]
and the trust was placed.
I had to know. It had to be confirmed here, where we all stood as witnesses, that Grandma’s statement was true.
before she left.
“·················ogue.”
The son-in-law was quiet. Occasionally, there was only the crowing of geese.
My circle showed no reaction. I quickly explained.
[Sorry, Grandma. I didn’t test it because I didn’t believe it. that it’s real,]
“know······. know The Marquis is not such a great person.”
She looked at me and smiled kindly.
“Who, who in the imperial palace…. Shall we buy the old woman’s stall in the alley?”
“·················ogue.”
“Can you forgive me?”
That was Grandma’s last question.
It was difficult to know what that meant. I felt like my throat was choking.
I tightened my chin and leaned down so she could hear me.
And I wrote sentences with all my heart to my tired ears.
[Forgive me. The Lord will forgive you.]
-aaa
Golden ether poured from the Holy Land.
Victoire Andrége was at rest with a calm face.
