PROUD GRANDFATHER (3)

"Do you hve any sort of idea about your elder brother's situation? " Samuel asks her despite knowing his granddaughter is too young.But he can't be weak now. He has to be tough in front of his granddaughter as that will be beneficial to herself as she can realise the seriousness of this matter regarding her brother's secret departure.

"I know grandfather. " Arianna replies seriously.

"Oh! What do you know? Explain. " The old regent emperor gets astonished. He didn't expect his three year old granddaughter will reply seriously like she really understand the situation. And not only she understand the whole situation but she also knows it's cause and effects. From his years of reigning, he can tell his beloved granddaughter isn't bluffing right now. She is exceptionally serious.

Although, he knows he shouldn't expect too much from his granddaughter's answer but he couldn't help himself and anticipate his granddaughter's wise response.

William is serving Samuel since childhood. How couldn't he understand the barely hidden anticipation in His Majesty's eyes for little princess's response. He reminds him once "Your Majesty, you have to properly guide little princess since she is still young. You can see her sincerity through her response. " He secretly hinted Samuel reminding him about her age and also speaks on her behalf.

Samuel understands what William is trying to tell him . He raises his hand and ask him to keep calm as no matter what Arianna's response will be, he won't be angry. After all, his granddaughter should live like a princess, carefree without any worries. But because her grandfather is incompetent to protect the siblings and their inheritance, she has to understand this responsibility at such a young age. There's no way Samuel will get mad at Arianna's response.
