How to get Healed at Demon Farm

A gray-haired lady appeared outside the door. 

At her appearance, Roedin and the soldiers were bewildered. 

“Ah, Godmother…..”  

A cold voice came out of the lady’s mouth who looked around the room for a while.  

“Roedin? What’s all this?”  

“Godmother, I was forced to control the guests because they wanted to do whatever they wanted.” 

Roedin’s excuse deepened her eyes.  

“Who made that judgment? Did you judge, Roedin?”

“Yes, I did, Godmother.” 

“Did I give that power to you? Who gave you the right to oppress and intimidate those who come to the Barbatos family?” 

“…….” 

Roedin gave no answer to the lady’s words. 

The soldiers, who were looking around, slowly began to take their hands off the weapon handle.  

“Get out with the soldiers right now. Otherwise, not only you but also your master will be held responsible.”  

Roedin and the soldiers trembled at her sudden warning. 

They rushed out, leaving only a brief greeting to the lady. 

After the group disappeared, the lady sighed and looked around. 

“I’d like to have a quiet conversation with the guests for a moment.” 

“Yes, Madam Godmother.” 

“Yes, Madam Godmother.”  

The maids who were originally in the room and those who were accompanying the lady went out of the room.  

Bebeto, who was next to us, seemed to flinch and wonder whether he should go out or not.  

It was not until Bebeto was signaled to remain, with the gesture of the lady who noticed his troubles that he calmed down. 

There was silence again in the room. 

But, it was a much softer atmosphere than the trembling tension that filled the room just a while ago.  

The lady, who was looking at us for a while, smiled slightly as she loosened her stiff face. 

The cold atmosphere that had kicked out Roedin disappeared, and a comfortable atmosphere quickly spread around her. 

No fancy dresses or ornaments were worn, but every little move of hers naturally showed the nobility.  

The fine wrinkles that stood out when she smiled doubled her elegant beauty. 

She was a lady who was perfectly suited to the expression ‘Noble lady’.  

“Sorry for the late introduction. I’m Diana from the Barbatus family. I’m ashamed that I didn’t receive the family’s guests properly.” 

She, who identified herself as Diana, bowed her head, apologizing for what had just happened.  

Alfred froze in confusion at her sincere apology. 

Andras, who was most experienced, calmly stepped forward and responded.  

“The thing that happened was unpleasant, but I think it ended well thanks to your proper handling. I don’t think Godmother has to apologize for what just happened.”  

Andras tried to finish things quietly by separating Roedin’s work from the Godmother’s. 

Godmother Diana also recognized his intentions and smiled quietly. 

“Bebeto, I haven’t received a guest introduction yet……Can you take the trouble?”  

“It’s my pleasure, Madam Godmother!”  

Bebeto began to introduce us one by one in a trembling voice. 

“This is Andras from the Schnarpe family, who serves as vice-chief of the Germour Wizards.”  

“It’s an honor to meet you, Godmother.” 

“Nice to meet you, too. I met you at an event in the Great Lord Castle, didn’t I?” 

“Yes, I greeted you with my father. I think you’re more beautiful now.”  

“Ho-Ho, Andras is much better at dealing with Lady than you were then.”  

After that, she also briefly greeted Alfred. 

Perhaps because they both came from one of the five great aristocratic families of the Demon World, they seemed to have a little acquaintance with Godmother Diana. 

It was like the meeting of a distant relative from whom you hadn’t heard for a while. 

My turn came last after the two people. 

“This is Sir. Lim Sihyeon, who has been recognized by the Great Lord as an ester and recently as an aristocrat.”  

“It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Lim Sihyeon.”  

I greeted her as casually as I could. 

Godmother Diana’s eyes gleamed looking at me. 

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you. Didn’t you make the famous [Cardis strawberry jam]?” 

“Yes. Recently, we made a strawberry jam workshop and started selling it.”

“After a lot of trouble I got a chance to get my hands on a bottle and tasted it, it was so delicious. It’s a pity that I ate it all up so quickly. When will the new batch of [Cardis Strawberry Jam] be available on the market?” 

“…Ah, I’m sorry to hear about that. The demand is so high that the supply is not able to cope with it right now. So, it will take a while…” 

“Oh … That’s really bad.” 

Godmother Diana was really depressed hearing about the strawberry jam.

The tension got slightly eased because of her very favorable attitude.

” Look at my manners … I’ve been talking while keeping the guests standing. Come over here! Have a seat. I wanted to share more stories. ” 

She guided us by hand and led us to a place where we could sit comfortably. 

While everyone started moving under the guidance of Godmother, I stopped walking and called her. 

“Excuse me!” 

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to me. 

Godmother Diana asked me with a kind voice. 

“What’s the matter, Sihyeon?” 

I said looking at her with a serious expression. 

“I’m sorry… I want to take care of these children first.”

GULP GULP! 

Biip Biip.

Biip

Grify and Finny enjoyed the Hap I gave them.

I could feel the strength in their cry as if they had regained their energy a little.  

Of course, they only regained their energy for a while, and the condition of the two griffins was not very good yet. 

The two stuffed babies quickly began to doze in my arms. 

Maybe they didn’t sleep well until I came.  

I wrapped a soft towel around Grify and Finny, who fell asleep as if they fainted.  

As soon as we saw the baby Griffins sleeping comfortably, all the people of the Barbatos breathed a sigh of relief.  

Godmother Diana looked at me and admired.  

“That’s amazing. As soon as Sihyeon came, their condition got better so quickly!”  

“Their condition didn’t get better! The children’s condition before was so terrible that it just seemed like they had recovered a little.”  

Perhaps because of the feelings that I had accumulated earlier, I reacted sharply without realizing it. 

As soon as my answer was over, the atmosphere around me became chilly.  

For a moment, I thought, [Oops!] but I kept a calm expression. 

To be honest, considering the miserable feelings I felt when I saw the children, I was still angry.  

Andras and Bebeto had troubled expressions on their faces as if thinking about how to calm the atmosphere, but Godmother opened her mouth first.  

“I deeply regret what baby Griffins had to go through. They were really healthy kids when they were brought from the farm….”  

“There’s no way they became so weak just because they couldn’t adapt to the new environment. What the hell happened here?” 

As the children’s lives were at stake, I asked for the truth about what had happened in a tough manner.  

Godmother Diana agonized for a while with a stern look on her face. 

Then she opened her mouth again with an expression of determination. 

“…I’ll explain everything.” 

“Madam Godmother, that….?!” 

Bebeto reacted negatively, startled with surprise, while Godmother Diana calmly shared her thoughts.  

“We have to explain our situation properly to get help from Sihyeon, don’t we?”  

“But that…” 

“The face and status of the family… is not more important than the trust of those who are really willing to help us. If my dead husband was alive, he would have probably done the same thing.”  

“Uh…..”  

“The story will be a little long, but please listen to it until the end. This is very important not only for the young griffins, but also for the Barbatos.” 

“Yes, I understand.” 

“Where should I start…” 

Godmother Diana slowly began to tell the story.  

The story began with her husband or the former Lord of the family.  

He and Godmother Diana had three sons and a daughter, but the Lord highly valued his second son’s talent and personality, thus he was recognized as his successor early on.  

The power of the Lord was so strong, that even those who were dissatisfied with the selection of the successor could not easily express their opinions, and naturally, the second son of the family took over the position of the next Lord. 

The second son had a wife whom he married even before he came to the position of Lord. 

The relationship between the couple was so good that they thought that a successor to the family would be born soon.  

However, pregnancy was not easy, and the fetus which was formed after a great struggle got miscarried. 

The wife’s health deteriorated after the miscarriage, and due to her poor health she soon passed away.

The second son, who loved his wife more than anything, was greatly shocked by the death of his wife.  

In the end, the second son, who had been forced to continue his role as a Lord of the family, collapsed soon after.  

When the Lord of the family collapsed, discussions began very naturally about the next successor. 

Since the second son could not give birth to a successor, the next successor position had been vacant for a long time.  

The brothers of the Lord, who were aiming for his position, claimed their children as heirs to the family. 

And soon they started a full-fledged dispute with their respective supporters on their backs.  

Godmother Diana tried to mediate between the brothers, but the old mother couldn’t stop her grown-up children’s fight.  

So far, it’s a very normal, in a way, boring Succession battle of a noble family. 

And finally, a story related to baby Griffins came out. 

“In the midst of a constant quarrel on who will be the successor, hunters accidentally found Griffin’s eggs and brought them here. It’s important to raise Griffin, a symbol of the family in the past, but the eggs were quickly pushed out of the spotlight because everyone was concerned about the succession.”  

I nodded when I heard the explanation. 

“Hmm… That’s why these guys came to the farm.” 

“That’s right. Honestly, when I left the eggs to Sihyeon, no one expected them to hatch. But….” 

Andras continued with a bitter smile. 

“So Sihyeon, who you didn’t expect, succeeded in hatching the eggs?”  

Godmother Diana nodded slowly. 

“The news of Griffin’s successful hatching quickly spread within the family. And in people’s minds, rather than the joy of the return of the family symbol, there was only interest in how to use the baby Griffins in the fight for succession.”  

She looked down at the sleeping baby Griffins with a dejected look on her face. 

“The children, who were forced to be brought in, have been dragged from place to place, and have been treated as tools to be used to select successors. So the kids soon got tired.” 

“How could they…”  

I was speechless, feeling both angry and dumbfounded. 

To treat such vulnerable kids as tools for their own benefit!  

I’m sorry for her, who explained everything in detail, but I wanted to get out of here with the children as soon as possible.  

Godmother Diana asked me with a desperate look on her face if she noticed my feelings.  

“I fully understand Sihyeon’s disappointment in the Barbatos family. I’m shameless, but I want your help?” 

“If you’re going to use these kids as a tool for choosing a successor, I’m sorry, I’m not going to help you.”  

“That’s not it. What I want to ask you is regarding the sick Lord of Barbatos family, my second son.” 

“…?” 

The Lord of Barbatos family? 

I tilted my head slightly at the words of Godmother Diana.
