Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 179

Jieun become pensive in the magical vehicle that is now taking her to Hilleo Village. It’s about a week now after the departure of her father Beom-Soo in the real world and she has just been able to accept what happened.

She did not cry all day after learning of her father’s passing which she never expected that, but she only cried after her father was buried. Because she realized she would no longer be able to see her father, she could no longer feel his love.

Apparently her life in Dream Land taught her to be strong and not just know how to cry.

After a week, together with Queen Anna, they decide to start traveling to Elysium Land which has been delayed. But first, Queen Anna suddenly asks her if she wanted to go to Hilleo Village, to visit Granny Susan, also her mother’s grave which is in there. For her to find some peace.  Yes.  She tell her about what is happening as the Queen is on their side anyway.

Hearing the idea, of course Jieun said yes without even thinking deeply about that. She felt like it’s been a long time now that she didn’t return to the village due to being too busy with various things especially their journey. She also actually misses Granny Susan. They’ve only been writing to each other all this time.

Now, all the six princes, Queen Anna, Adele, Princess Lia, Ayana and herself, are on their way to the village. Certainly with King Liam’s permission.

“Are you sure you are okay?” Eun-Woo, who always worries about Jieun’s condition asks her again.  He actually asking her too many time now but Jieun didn’t get angry about that as she know, the man is just trying to take care of her.

This time, Jieun look at her husband who is always by her side. She smiled at him and put her head on his shoulder now.

“I just miss him.” She said that finally.

Eun-Woo is also actually shocked when Jieun delivers the news of Beom-Soo’s departure. He never saw him in person, didn’t even know what he looks like, but he could recognize him through the stories that Jieun always told him. So he also felt sad like his wife.

“We can make his symbolize grave here if you wanted while we’re here. Adjacent to your mother’s grave.” Eun-Woo gives a recommendation there.

Jieun in fast raising her face while looking at her husband. She never thought to do that and its does sound like a good idea. She can remember him here also in the real world. Like her mother.

“That’s would be great.” Jieun said there. Making Eun-Woo feel satisfied.

Their journey is not too long as Hilleo Village is within the Dream Land area. Jieun now even able to see the street and the atmosphere that she still clearly remembers. The area she always spent time when she first entered this unfamiliar world. The area is always close to her heart.

“Too many things are going on here.” Jieun start saying.

Eun-Woo also remembers it. Memories of both of them who always met by chance, quarreled with each other, hated and understood each other, even their first kiss also happen here. Too many memories they share in here.

“It is.” Eun-Woo also admitted it.

As soon as they enter the gates of the village, Jieun and Eun-Woo decides to walk hand in hand while greeting the villagers whom they have not seen for a long time. They actually did not tell in advance about their arrival here because they did not want the villagers and Granny Susan to bother to welcome them. So this will do.

The others, including Queen Anna, when seeing Eun-Woo’s behavior and Jieun who greeting all the villagers while walking also want to do the same. Ayana, on the other hand, had been running away from the vehicle for a long time because she was too excited to see her acquaintance.

All the villagers greeted them warmly and even gave them their sale items especially food. Jieun that already know about the generosity of the villagers already prepared gifts for them too. As usual, she doesn’t like to just be a recipient, but also she wants to be a giver. They were all now having fun there.

The journey to her mansion, which should have only taken 15 minutes from the main gate has now become an hour because of chatting with the villagers there.

As soon as she arrived in front of her mansion, which she still remember, Jieun saw Granny Susan was already standing in front of the main door, waiting for her.  Looks like someone already telling her about their arrival.

Quickly, Jieun walked quickly towards the old woman who is her family here, and hugged her there.

“Welcome home.” Granny Susan said there with a smile, hugging the girl whom she had missed all this time. Her eyes are also starting to glaze over with tears now.

Seeing Eun-Woo was also approaching them at that time, Granny Susan also reached out to the man. Wanted to hug him there together with Jieun now. And Eun-Woo quickly did so.

Granny Susan was relieved at the time to see the two of them in real happiness especially when both of them looking at each other. But she also didn’t miss Jieun sad eyes there. She already knows about Beom-Soo as Jieun sends a letter telling her about the death. So she knew the girl was still in a state of mourning.

However, she still feel relieved seeing her alive and well like this.

After that, Granny Susan saw Queen Anna there looking at them with a smile.  She actually didn’t know that the Queen also coming here with Jieun and in rush greeting her there even if she know Queen Anna didn’t care about that. But still, she feel the need to do so.

“Queen Anna.” She continued to bow to the Queen as a sign of respect.

Queen Anna did the same.

Once giving accommodation to all of them, all of them decide to rest for a while before lunch and do other activities.

Not wanting to bother them there because their arrival there was not announced in advance, Queen Anna and Adele, also assisted by some workers in the mansion started arranging the food brought from the palace.

She just instructs them to heat everything later when it’s time to eat. She even brought a lot of food enough to share with the employees there as well. That is who Queen Anna really is. Treat everyone equally making her liked by the people.

Meanwhile, Jieun and Eun-Woo decide to spend time with Granny Susan in the office. Also to talk in private.

As before, Granny Susan made tea to be served to them before anything else. Jieun keep thinking that the act is quite similar like her mother in law, Queen Anna, who always do the same before they do the talking.

After finish making the tea, Granny Susan served the tea to the two of them and began to sit there.

“How are you Granny? It’s been a while since the last time we were here to see you. I’m sorry that I didn’t keep my promise to bring Jieun here regularly. Too many things are going on making us find it hard to find time.. ” Eun-Woo started there. Expressing his feeling at the time.

Granny Susan smiled as she listened to the young man polite conversation. Eun-Woo still hasn’t changed. Still a good man like she knows him.

“I know. We’re just send each other letters now. I’m sorry too.” Jieun also say there.

“It’s okay. I know as a prince and princess there are a lot of responsibilities that you both have to carry out. Getting a letter from you is enough to make me happy here.” Granny Susan honestly said that. Didn’t want both of them to be guilty of it.

Both Jieun and Eun-Woo smiled widely there.

“But what about you?” Granny Susan wanted to know that while looking at Jieun.

“It’s not easy going through a difficult and sad journey. But I know you are strong to go through it.” Granny Susan added there.

Jieun make a subdued face then. Observing the still smoky tea in front of her.

“It’s not easy. But I don’t want to stop either. I’ve walked too far.” Jieun said that. Referring to her first decision that she remembers that she told the old woman before.

Granny Susan nodded understandingly there as she also knows how stubborn Jieun can be. Just like her mother Aera. But that trait is not the bad things.

“Granny, I want to ask you something. I hope you can tell me honestly.” Jieun sound more seriously then.

Granny Susan looked at her now. She also wondered what the girl wanted to know.

“Before, you used to tell me if I had a question I could ask, whether you could answer then or later it was another matter. And now I have a question.”

“Just ask. Like I promise you, I will answer it if the time comes.” Granny Susan said that.

Eun-Woo, who knows what Jieun will say next continues to hold her hand. As if giving her some strength there.

While holding her husband’s hand tightly there, Jieun asked,

“The man that helped my mother from the Elysium Land, who said they got married because they didn’t want the secrets about my mother about her not from this world is not a fake right?”

Granny Susan paused for a moment.

“Is he, my real father?”  Jieun finally ask directly.

Granny Susan took a deep breath before answering.

“He is… your real father.”

Making Jieun let out a breath that she didn’t think she holding all this time.
