Chapter 2220 Anna's Resolve

"Don't worry grandma, I will pass the trial and enter our heritage land to unseal my great-grandaunt. Then, show her that she was wrong. Your marriage with Grandpa was the best thing that could ever happen to our family and the Southern region, Anna promised without taking her family's heritage land trials seriously despite her grandma informing her that none in the last few generations have managed to pass it.

"I know you can do it, honey, Colleen did not doubt her granddaughter's ability. Nobody dared to say the grandina and granddaughter pair were being overconfident as only time would tell them that. "Grandma, come to think of it, though you lived a hard life it was a rewarding one," Anna summed up what she thought about her grandma's life. She now believed more than ever that her grandma was luck incarnate as many do not get to see the fruits of their hard work their entire life.

"It sounds to me that you are jealous of your grandma, Colleen concluded from Anna's words. She wasn't surprised as her life despite its ups and downs was indeed a rewarding one.

"Yes, I am. My entire life so far I spent suppressing my true desires and doing what I was told and taught to please my mother at the risk of me going insane. Now, look where it got me. I got a weirdo calling herself my twin sister for an origin card and my mother cares about that weirdo more than her flesh and blood. This pisses me off," Ann said as she emptied her virgin cocktail and slammed the glass on the table.

Colleen looked at her granddaughter in surprise and asked, "I thought you did not care about what your mother thought of you."

"I don't. I am angry that my life so far amounted to nothing" Anna said as her eyes tried to find her rebellious origin card and mother in the crowd.

"What gave you that idea? Ann, your twin sister is the result of your life so far, Colleen enlightened her lost granddaughter pointing at her second granddaughter, and continued to add, "You guys might be polar opposite but she is the accumulation of your experience so far. It is just that you both have different takes on your life so far. The important thing to remember here is that both of those takes originated from you, who is right or wrong is secondary. It is as simple as that."

"Chum-Chumm only likes me and will only be friends with me, Anna said but then thinking of a possibility she added, "If Chum-Chum doesn't want to be friends with Ann then I don't have to share Chum-Chum with her, right?"

"Sure, Colleen nodded seriously but snickered in her heart thinking, 'It is hard for me to tell you two apart let alone that little pixie dragon. I hope it doesn't get scared or lose its mind seeing there are two of you.'

"Then, great. Chum-Chum will not be friends with anyone but me. Sharing is going to be easier than I thought,' Anna exclaimed confidently while Colleen verbally pushed her to put her words into action demanding. "Now, go support your mother and sister in entertaining the guests!

"Why would I do that? You do it, they are your daughter and granddaughter too," Anna wittily retorted.

Palace staff cleaning the cluttered table nearby shivered in terror hearing Anna's reply to their queen. No one in the South dared to tell the queen what to do maybe not even the Southern Ruler but Anna did. Not to mention, since when was it the turn of the Southern Queen to entertain the guests? The guest would not dare to accept such hospitality. Feeling he heard something he should not have, the staff hurriedly masked his terror and minded his business while blocking his ears with his soul energy as he did not want to be mistakenly charged with the crime of eavesdropping on the royals.

As for Colleen, she did not care about Anna's rudeness, as she preferred it. However, she sternly repeated to Anna, "I said go help your mother and sister."

"This is not fair. I don't force you to do things that you don't want to, Anna quibbled as she reluctantly got up from her seat and headed toward her mother and sister.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
