How Can You Pay Back The Kindness I Raised With Obsession?

Her grandmother looked at her mesmerized face and frowned.

 

“This talent will appear in your dreams until you do it.”

 

“Then you shouldn’t do it.”

 

“Ugh, look at this trick.”

 

As she was smiling and putting the egg roll in her mouth, she suddenly realized something. Now was an opportunity to answer the questions she had always had.

 

“Grandma.”

 

“OK.”

 

“Anyone who eats my cooking here will never forget the taste.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Did grandmother do it?”

 

Maybe her grandmother lent her her taste. She had thought that way all along. When her grandmother heard her question, she laughed heartily and stroked her head.

 

“My beautiful granddaughter, I hope you receive a lot of love here too.”

 

As expected, she was right.

 

“In the first place, the easiest way to open a person’s heart is to captivate his or her appetite.”

 

Even if it takes your appetite like that, make friends so you don’t get lonely. Now that she thought about it, a thought from her childhood suddenly came to mind. When she was young, she was more stubborn and shy than she was now, so she had a hard time making friends. When the new semester came, her grandmother gave her this advice every morning. She told her to bring her classmates to grandmother’s restaurant because she didn’t mind being a close child. When she took the children, her grandmother wouldn’t take her money and she would cook them tteokbokki, pork cutlet, and lots of other delicious food. That’s how she instantly became popular in her class. Of course, there was one child who only acted friendly to me when she wanted to eat grandma’s tteokbokki, but she also made many good friends with her. Looking back, it was all thanks to her grandmother.

 

“Grandma.”

 

She held her grandmother’s wrinkled hand. It felt like warmth was seeping into her heart.

 

“I have a lot of friends and family here now. It’s all thanks to her grandmother that I’m not lonely. Thank you so, so much.”

 

“Thank you…”

 

Before she knew it, her grandmother was wiping the tip of her red nose with the back of her hand. She seemed embarrassed and gave her a scolding.

 

“But what did you waste that useful thing on me?”

 

She asked why she used her precious snake leg to meet her grandmother.

 

“I thought you were going to ask to see your mom, but…”

 

“The person who raised me is my mother.”

 

She was held in her grandmother’s arms like when she was a child. The warm smell of her grandmother was just as good as the taste of her grandmother’s handmade food.

 

“Oh my, you’re all grown up. You know how to say things like that.”

 

Her grandmother smiled, probably because she liked what she said, and then she hugged her and patted her on the back like she did when she was little.

 

“Our granddaughter, everything will be fine. You have a good life wherever you are. You will be the best mother in the world.”

 

Did she read all her anxiety? Her grandmother comforted her by reciting her words of encouragement like a spell. Her grandmother’s scent slowly fades. Her touch as she stroked me also became lighter. It meant that it was time for her to part ways.

 

She asked, hugging her grandmother tightly.

 

“I’m not leaving, right?”

 

“Oh my, this old lady wants to take care of her granddaughter even after she dies?”

 

“Forever.”

 

“Yes, forever.”

 

Forever. She would never forget the memories of today.

A few days later, the new emperor was safely coronated.

 

“I solemnly pledge to rule the empire fairly and mercifully according to the law and the will of the people.”

 

With the imperial crown on her head and a long sable fur cloak draped over her broad shoulders, Eliot was a majestic emperor himself. She heard that no matter what he did, he was considered someone with 10 years of experience. The emperor was like one person with 10 years of experience. Then a month later they got married. The wedding ceremony held in the temple of the imperial palace was officiated by the Pope.

 

“Elliot, emperor of the Brillant Empire, takes Hazel as his wife and promises to cherish and serve her for the rest of his life until the day he returns to the arms of the god.”

 

“Yes, I promise to cherish and serve you forever, even in the arms of God.”

 

Oh my god. Even in the arms of God, Rani. While she was moved, the Pope’s face, which had to remain expressionless, was slightly distorted. After the ceremony, she asked Elliot, and he said that he wanted to wash his ears with holy water after hearing her hot voice. That’s what he said, but for her, he carefully modified the question to follow Elliot’s answer.

 

“So, does Hazel, the Witch of the Black Forest, take Elliot as her husband and promise to cherish and serve him forever in the arms of the god?”

 

“Yes, I promise.”

 

After the wedding, a celebratory banquet continued all day. She was wondering how to hold a reception here, and some of the customs were similar. There was also the custom of throwing the bride’s bouquet. But did she throw the bouquet too hard? The bouquet passed the noble ladies gathered behind her and fell onto Giselle’s lap, who was sitting at the table. The Pope, who must remain single for the rest of her life, received a bouquet. There was an awkward silence for a moment.

 

“Hazel.”

 

While the fun banquet was in full swing, Elliot suddenly whispered to her.

 

“Hazel wasn’t your original name.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Then what is your real name?”

 

She guessed he was curious because her name kept being called out during the wedding. She whispered her real name in his ear. Elliot mumbled her name a few times as if he was talking to himself and then asked.

 

“Don’t teach this to my younger siblings either. Let only me know your name in this world.”

 

After that, he started calling her by her real name instead of Hazel when they were alone. And the following year, twins were born. As Elliot’s mother said, they were a girl and a boy. Her grandmother seemed to be worried that she wouldn’t be able to eat seaweed soup. From about the seventh month of her pregnancy, he said, her grandmother kept appearing in Elliot’s dreams, teaching him how to make the strange seaweed soup.

 

Elliot ended up getting seaweed, which they didn’t even eat here, and he made seaweed soup for her. After that, her grandmother stopped appearing in his dreams. However, she would always be by their side watching over her beautiful great-granddaughter and great-grandson.

 

Children were so adorable.

 

They said raising twins was so difficult. They didn’t know it was hard and just had fun, thanks to Elliot having dozens of nannies and maids for her. She was the imperial palace’s chief hunting aide, and even Lady and Daisy, who were called Sir Lady and Lady Daisy before suddenly becoming nanny with a tail, also enjoyed it.

 

[How many times has this happened to someone else’s childcare?]

 

Of course, as always, Lady complained with her mouth, but she played nicely with the children even when they were bothering them. After two peaceful years, war broke out. It was a war started in Billund between the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince. It seemed that a small number of nobles who still supported the old emperor encouraged and supported the deposed empress and the deposed crown prince who were exiled in a remote area of Billund. They tried to take over the Billund Autonomous Territory by gathering rebel forces who had not yet acknowledged their defeat in the previous Billund War. Then, just like the dead princess did, she summoned a summoner and raised an army of monsters. However, they were easily subdued. Because the emperor had the holy power to wipe out that monster army in one fell swoop. Elliot, who became emperor, now had no hesitation. She proudly revealed that it was he who had the sacred power to rule the world. As long as he lives, no one will start a war with monsters anymore.

 

Empress Dowager and Prince Charming, who started the war, were eventually executed. All rebel forces within the empire and in Billund were also eradicated. It was a complete victory for the empire. However, the empire suffered great losses in that war.

 

The Pope was killed in action. And around that time, Grand Duke Luna Belle Blaine designated the vast forest around the cabin where the witch Hazel lived as a hunting ground exclusively for the Grand Duke’s family and prohibited outsiders from entering. It was no secret that the person appointed as gamekeeper was a woman, but it was a secret only they knew that she was the Pope.

 

Not long after, the captain of the Grand Duke’s royal guard married the gamekeeper. Two people have set up their newlywed home in her old cabin. It was a really good thing.

 

At that time, Luca, who was about to join the Holy Knights, suddenly became Pope. His original dream had come true. The new Pope took a lot of time and effort to gradually change the conservative customs of the religious world. His most amazing achievement was that he was able to utilize his sacred power, which had previously only been developed in the direction of suppressing magical power, in various ways like magical power. Everyone thought that the nanny being a witch had a big impact. She didn’t think it’s wrong.

 

Through this friendly competition, the ways in which magical and holy powers were used became more diverse and sophisticated, ultimately contributing greatly to the prosperity of the empire. Of course, Elliot’s role as a successful soldier was also large.

 

What? She thought it was originally a fairy tale with children as the main characters, but why did it end like this? She didn’t know what the original story was. She didn’t know if she intervened and twisted the original work into a mess. She guessed that’s because sometimes she was confused as to whether this was a cruel fairy tale, a crazy fairy tale, or an adult fairy tale. But anyway, her story was a fairytale, right?

 

In a very far away country, there lived a lonely kindergarten teacher. After dying while trying to save a child, she was unexpectedly dragged into a fairytale. Even in the fairy tale, she used her career as a kindergarten teacher to become a nanny for the grand duke’s family, and then she suddenly became the empress of the empire. So the kindergarten teacher, who went from being a witch to a nanny and from a nanny to an empress, lived a long and happy life with her loved ones.

 

The end!
