The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 109 - Grandfather's Fairy Tale

"But you must not go near Mr. Mal.. Uh, briefly... Malfoy?" Qiandra stopped her sentence. It seems he realized something.

"You, right?"

Rania's heart was pounding waiting for the follow-up sentence from Qiandra, "Did she have noticed it?"

"You're Fania's husband, right? So you're always stalking me for company information? Or want to harm me?" accuse Qiandra.

"eek... It's not. I never stalked you for company information..."

"Oh, so you admit that you're stalking me, even if the reason isn't right?" said Qiandra again.

"Well... Kirain she remembered something. I'm disappointed," murmured Rania.

"What did you say?" qiandra.

"Ah, it's nothing."

"Let's go. Don't go near this suspicious om-om again."

Qiandra pulled Rania's hand and took her away from it.

Before leaving the place, Rania had a chance to look back and see the look on Malfoy's sad face.

"What's wrong with her? Does he know who the Qiandra really is?" thought Rania.

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

"Cock-awkwardly? Isn't that happy? Or do you want a nicer room than mine?" qiandra Protest.

"It's not. I was astonished. Why am I given this room, unlike any other waiter. Later if another waiter asks how?" rania.

Once again, his eyes looked at the entire VIP guest room with all the facilities in the house. However, this room is still less luxurious than the previous room, which is now occupied by Qiandra.

"It's okay, Rania. I told them that you were not only my assistant, but also my schoolmate."

Just a moment ago, they got into a debate because Rania refused to stay at the Qiandra house.

Indeed, his initial goal of becoming a Qiandra assistant was to break into the hive of causes of trouble. But that doesn't mean he can be arranged like this by Qiandra.

Until now it has not been clear what purpose Qiandra suddenly became to be kind to him.

But then Rania is forced to agree, because the mother who does not know anything allows Rania to stay overnight.

"Qian, why do you keep being nice to me? What are you planning?"

"Haaaah... That question again." Qian sighed.

"It's wrong that I did you good? I'm asking you to perform at a fashion show, so that our competition is fair" Qiandra explained.

"I don't know what you mean" replied Rania.

"You've always claimed to be the son of mama and papa. If that's true, it means that this fashion show is your dream for a long time. Even though you can't participate in design and production activities, but I think it's fair enough that you perform as well."

"That, huh?" Rania did not expect that Qiandra's thinking had gone that far.

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

Mats... Mats... Mats...

Qiandra's ears are tired of hearing the clanking of the clock which now shows at one in the morning. His eyes were tired since morning, not yet want to be closed.

Well... I guess there will be nothing, though. Till this hour it's safe."

Qiandra pulled the blanket over her shoulder. The rain that has been raining on the ground for the past two hours has subsided, leaving the air as cool as it is on the top of the mountain.

"When I was really curious, if Rania was here would that scary figure come to disturb or not? Though I've worked so hard to change my appearance so as not to come to the figure again and he was looking for Rania," Qiandra murmured again.

"But seeing his appearance earlier on the catwalk was indeed very flexible. It's worth admitting that she's the only daughter of a famous model."

Meanwhile, in Rania's room.

"Dark... Why can't I sleep anyway? This is my home too. But why do I sleep better in the cramped room of my mother's house?"

Rania turned on the room lights. Then I get out of bed.

"It's already this way, I should just check this house, while taking a drink to the kitchen," thought Rania.

The atmosphere of the hallway and stairs was so dark. There were only a few dim lights that lit up in the corner of the room.

The black haired girl then turned on the main light. Instantly the room became bright.

"Rania? Why are you still here at this hour?"

A man was sitting right in the chair under the stairs. He holds a foreign-language book.

"Grandfather? Not sleeping? I'm staying here tonight" said Rania.

"Oh, that. Grandpa hasn't been able to sleep since. Then grandpa just sat here reading a book."

"Reading a book in the dark like this?" Rania's confused.

"Well... That's not.. Heheh... Just now Grandpa was about to turn on the lights."

"Grandpa is weird, deh," murmured Rania.

"You yourself why haven't you slept?" ask Grandpa.

"Same. I can't sleep either. I was gonna take a drink to the kitchen."

"Oh, huh? Grandpa asked me to get you a glass of warm water too dong."

A few moments later...

"It's the warm water, Cake."

"Thank you, son. You haven't slept, have you? Want to hang out with Grandpa for a little chat?"

"But what if a waiter sees it, Cake? I'm just here as Qiandra's assistant."

"There's no more waitresses at this hour. Even if there were, they wouldn't dare to bother Grandpa" Nico said.

Rania sat down and chatted with Nico.

"Grandfather, do you believe me? Why is there such a strange occurrence?" ask Rania then.

Nico put down the book he was holding, "Have you ever heard the story about your mother's grandmother?"

Rania frowned then shook her head, "I mean grandfather, the grandmother who ran away from her hometown?"

"Yes, that includes. But there's a bigger story behind it. Recently grandfather also told me with Qiandra," said Nico.

Rania fixed her sitting position to listen to the story from grandfather.

"Your grandmother was a witch" said Nico.

"Huh? No way."

"Well, that's what people say in your grandmother's hometown, Sirnea Village," Nico continued.

"Oh.."

"Since birth, your grandmother has had special abilities. He was able to cure the sick with herbal medicine that he formulated. But behind that, the birth of your grandmother accompanied by rain and lightning was considered a curse."

"Whether it has something to do or not, every time your grandmother manages to treat someone, then the next night one of the people in her village also died without knowing why."

"Geez!" rania Exclamation.

"On the advice of some clever people from the royal region* others, your ancestors who worked as gold gilders also made a lot of jewelry with engraving spells as a seal of your grandmother's bad strength," nico's story is long.

(*Romania was still in the form of a kingdom.)

"Ah... So that's why grandma has a lot of jewelry" Rania murmured. "But did it work?" continue the girl.

"Grandfather doesn't know, because at that time your grandparents had to get back apart because the war hit most European countries."

"But by the time your grandparents met again, we were married. Then a major outbreak hit Europe. Your grandmother who tried to help them was expelled and considered the cause of death of hundreds or even thousands of people there." Nico ends the story.

(*eps. 27)

"Truly unbelievable. The grandmother who healed them was considered a witch?" Rania's tone of voice was filled with emotion.

"Oh, so that's the story..."

Qiandra who had been listening to their conversation on the second floor only smiled while chuckling.
