Chereads / The Priestess of Rodona / Chapter 30 - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 - Chapter 30

When they were eating, there was suddenly hurried knocking on their door, and Kevin asked Alper to go and look who is at on their door.

They just heard Alper saying something along these lines. "Madam, you…Important…Please leave." Before, there was a familiar face in their dining room, and Levin asked the person.

"Mother in law and Father in law how are we blessed up with this sudden visit today?" There was clear hostility and annoyance on his voice that he didn't bother hiding at all.

As what have Jaana's parents done to them? They firstly didn't agree with their relationship when Levin was just an apprentice paladin and just novice in the church. As it wasn't enough to their Noble family.

In reality, they were s merchant family that had enough money just to buy Baron's title and a little bit of land from the countryside. 

But it was enough to mess Jaana's mother's head and make her more arrogant than ever. So, of course, their daughter couldn't date and be together with a lowly commoner that didn't have any ranks on the church.

But when Jaana did still meet with Levin and started to adventure with him and then got injured, what did her mother do? She kicked her oldest daughter from the family as she couldn't bring any offspring to their family and couldn't benefit the family. 

But when Levin did work hard enough in the church to achieve the paladin status and was probably the next choice for the head paladin's place they again tried to get Jaana back to their family, as then they would have the church's protection and more fame and status as there is a paladin in their house, but they didn't accept it. 

So Levin didn't want to see his mother in law at all, but he quite liked his father in law, as he secretly did send them money and supported them to start their life, but he was just so under his wife and would probably lose everything if they would get divorced.

"Oh, firstly, get that old bum out from the room. Why do you even have someone like that in your dining table." Jaana's mother said and pointed at Falmir.

"No, he will stay as he is our guest." Jaana did say before Levin would get more mad at her parents and do something stupid.

"Oh fine, then you don't understand at all, but what can I do for it, as you are corrupted by that peasant and have adapted his manners." Jaana's mother said but didn't point at anyone, but Jaana and Levin knew who she did mean by those words and because that Jaana did sit near Levin and did hold him down.

"So why didn't you tell us that you have a daughter now. You should have said it sooner, but it's nothing at all here let me show you my friend's available sons for your daughter's marriage partners. They are even willing to accept paladin's daughter and, of course, Baroness's granddaughter." Jaana's mother said and started to put pictures and information about all of the available Noble children on the dining table.

But before she could say anything at all, the stuff she did spread on the table caught fire and just did slowly burn on the table without spreading or damaging anything else at all.

Jaana's mother was panicking, but her husband was smiling and grinning at his wife's misfortune. Before Jaana's mother could say anything at all, Jaana stopped her and started to speak.

"Even when you are mother, could you please kindly leave our house now and stop visiting here and especially involving my daughter on your petty schemes of trying to get more status." Her mother just looked horribly at Jaana and couldn't believe what she did just hear, but before she could lash out, her husband said.

"Dear, we should leave now and let them finish their dinner. Let me buy you a new necklace when we are here now." And only then Jaana's mother accepted the reality and took their leave.

"Thank you, Falmir, for burning those useless papers on our table and making her leave the house quicker. And I'm sorry that you had to witness that, and I hope that it didn't take your mood to eat away." Jaana said while looking at Falmir.

"It's nothing at all as it's not my first time seeing people like that, and those papers were pretty annoying for the eye, and honestly, it's least I can do for you. But for now, let's finish our dinner and talk then." Falmir said and started to focus on the food that was in front of him again.

In the upstairs, Elvire was slowly waking up because of all the noise downstairs, but she was still unsure how to ask about the teacher or information about her current class choice from her parents.
