“…It’s okay.”
It was strange. My grandmother was a person who was usually ignored unless she was a strong person.
‘That old lady is not a person who recognizes intelligence without force.’
And at least the Beluga family was not a very powerful family. What if I were famous for being smart? ‘The twins’ father said that he had a talent that caught my grandmother’s eye. Is that why? While I was thinking about it, the leader of the Belugas, who had been allowed to speak, walked forward in stride. Rugaruba’s father, Loba, was also there.
“It seems like you don’t know me, princess, so let me introduce myself. I am Ilya Beluga, the head of the Beluga family. She is also the mother of the children whom the princess saved.”
When she looked up close, she didn’t look at all like Luga Luba, but she also thought that she looked more like her dad. Ilya then offered greetings to Pierre and Agenor.
‘You were the first to greet me.’
I was in a strange mood. Ilya went to her place, as had her previous witnesses, and began to speak.
“What I am saying now is that I am testifying on behalf of my children, Luga Ruba, who was a victim, after listening to her in detail as her guardian. For your information, one of my children suffered serious external and internal injuries to her head and was in torticollis before finally regaining consciousness this morning.”
I was surprised at those words and stared at Roba. What, you clearly said that Luga’s life was not in danger? Was she lying?
“My child was hit by Bayan’s fist and is on the brink of death.”
Lova, who must have sensed my gaze, made eye contact and gently covered her mouth so that only I could see her. She made a mouth shape and whispered, “Shh.” That’s a lie. Can a witness lie? You can do it.
‘They did it too, so what can’t we do too?’
I hid my laughter. Do you like the beluga whales? This is a sound that shakes the hearts of the ordinary retainers present here.
“I have the utmost respect for the fighting spirit and bravery of orcas. I firmly pledge to follow suit in the future as the leader. I think their battle is sacred and a wonderful act that divides the strong from the other.”
“…”
“Why did my child have to live through her death?”
It is not uncommon for killer whales to harass other aquatic animals. Even killings happen frequently.
“This act cannot be overlooked, even as a representative of all vassals. “If someone harasses a weak retainer who has not committed a crime, wouldn’t it be a disservice to the great killer whales who respect us?”
We did everything in a way that didn’t cause too much of a problem. This is because the leaders, who knew that excessive persecution would not benefit the orcas, made sure that the minimum line was maintained from generation to generation.
‘This is why Bayan also behaved violently in places out of sight of her grandmother.’
Nevertheless, the reason it officially became an issue at this moment was because it was raised in the presence of the head of the family. It was no longer possible to cover it like before.
“Chief, please take this as a serious matter.”
Ilya’s speech ended with a strong claim. Bayan looked like he wanted to wake up right away. It was good. The Beluga family came forward and at the same time as they were embarrassed, a favorable atmosphere was created for us. I took this opportunity to raise my hand.
“Grandma, although Agenor is the one who participated in this fight, I am at least a witness who can prove that my classmate, the beluga twin brother Rugaruba, was there!”
“Fit… Oh, that’s right.”
Agenor quickly agreed and responded. That’s nice. It didn’t stop there, and Loba came forward as the next witness. When I asked why she went out with Ilya, it turned out that she wanted to appear as a witness. Loba clearly described the situation that occurred when the fighting subsided, and he even talked about how he personally tried to dissuade the fight.
“I was the one who reported the situation to the head of the elementary level institution. There are several servants who were there with me, so I can invite them all as witnesses.”
As Roba’s testimony came to an end, the atmosphere completely reversed.
“Dear grandmother, I would like to conclude my remarks with one last confirmation. Is it okay if I call someone here to seek advice instead of a witness?”
When permission was given, I turned to the person who had been sitting quietly until now.
“Layla.”
Layla was sitting in the front row, so I didn’t have to shout out loud.
“I want to prove again what I said in the investigation before the disciplinary committee. At that time, I definitely asked this.”
“I’m listening.”
“There are rules that must not be broken between the beginner and intermediate institutions here.”
It’s time to take out the last weapon. I smiled brightly.
“Students at intermediate institutions cannot harm students at elementary institutions under any circumstances.”
“You’re right.”
“This is a rule proclaimed in the name of the Orca matriarch, the equivalent of my grandmother.”
“…you’re right.”
I turned my head. I hid my sweaty hands behind my back. What I say from now on may offend that great old lady.
“Grandma, did you hear? At least the minimum rules to prevent chaos and confusion were so cruelly ignored.”
My grandmother’s eyebrows twitched.
“A rule that her grandmother herself created and emphasized.”
It was a story our generation had no way of knowing. When Bayan was about to become famous, he was punished for making a fuss without knowing it.
“How do you know that, kid?”
Sure enough, I took a deep breath and pointed at my father at the harsh, harsh voice.
“How could you not know? “Daddy always told me a lot about her grandmother!”
Hehe, I smiled brightly. In times like this, it’s best to just laugh it off. My father, who had suddenly become the person who told me about my grandmother, had his eyes on me, but I pretended not to notice. Why? I was going to preteng not to know a lot today.
‘Please just skip this too.’
“Respected grandmother, Bayan’s greatest sin was to break the rules that her grandmother had dared to establish and hit the poor child. It amounts to non-compliance with the rules.”
“Grandma! I have an objection. That thing is talking nonsense right now!”
I grinned to myself.
‘Ah, I knew you would say that.’
But what should I do?
“Nonsense?”
“Yes! What kind of rule is there? In this world of law and order! If it’s strong, don’t you just trample it?”
“…So, you beat the beluga whale child to the point of death.”
“Well, that’s true, but it was something that couldn’t be helped…!”
I shook my head and quietly joined in.
“Old lady, Bayan is now in this sacred meeting… She just testified herself that she lied. Oh my. How dare you do something like that in front of her grandmother…!”
“…!!”
A frustrated expression appeared on Bayan’s face. Only then did his uncle, who was next to him, hurriedly cover Bayan’s mouth.
‘Tsk. It’s already too late. Idiots. Bayan, I know you well.’
You also appeared in the previous episode… In the end, your dull, stupid, and violent nature led to your self-destruction. It’s just a little faster.
“As you can see, I dared to break the rules set by my grandmother.”
Unlike what I had said before, I stayed calm.
“Really, what’s the point of fighting? When kids grow up, they start fighting.”
“…”
Is that right? I saw my grandmother’s eyebrows twitch.
“However, it was not a fight between killer whales, but a weak beluga whale child was involved, and the abominable sight of an attempt to disguise it as an ‘accident’ while completely ignoring the strict rules set by the grandmother! You saw it, right?”
I pointed to Bayan and smiled prettily.
“Grandma, how can he be a strong and wonderful grandmother, a strong successor to her?”
My smile instantly turned confident.
“He’s worse than me?”
As soon as I finished speaking, my grandmother’s sharp and harsh gaze fell on me. At the same time, the corner of her grandmother’s mouth moved, and then a sharp sound of light was heard.
“Ha ha ha. Ahahahahaha!”
After a loud laugh that seemed to fill her hall, her grandmother’s dark blue eyes turned to me again.
“That’s outrageous.”
There was no harsh voice or sharp gaze. The only thing in her dark blue eyes was a curious interest.
“Yeah, I’m not interested in a guy who was beaten by a three-year-old.”
“Ha, grandma!”
“Shut up. Do you have anything to say now? If you don’t want to be kicked out from your current position, you’d better keep your mouth shut. “Pathetic little fish.”
“…”
It’s done. The tinkling sound of the victory bell came to my ears.
