Chapter 27: Chapter 26 ~ where should I go now? / After the disaster (2)

"Do you remember me?" the old woman said calmly.

But Violet wasn't in the mood to listen to a woman living her last days. Violet clenched her fists holding the robe, as one would with a cover in cold weather.

But Violet did not do this because of the cold weather, she is just a shy girl who refuses to evade helping others, she wanted to ignore this old lady as soon as possible, and this appeared in her body language, and because of the old woman's high experience in life, she could understand that Violet does not want to talk right now, so she said quickly;

"Your father, he was a gentleman."

When she learned that the conversation would be about her father, she decided to listen to her.

"You're the woman who was in the cell right? I don't know why they took an old woman like you. But how do you know my father?" Violet said.

At the time when the women were asking for Violet's help on the ship, this old woman told her to leave, Violet felt as if this woman was different from the rest of the village.

"They may not have kidnapped me because of my beauty, but it may be that I am the exact reason they came to this island."

"Why? What can you give them?" Violet said.

"Don't worry about me, come with me"

That old woman took Violito's hand and started walking towards a tree trunk a little big enough for two people to set.

A little snow was covering the trunk of the tree, so the old woman brushed it off and told Violet to sit down, and then she went and fetched some roast meat for her and Violet.

"That's very kind of you, though I feel bad for an old woman to do that for me,"  Violet said.

"Haha, don't worry I'm doing this because I have to do it"

Violet felt strange at the old woman's words, and asked her directly;

"do you know me?"

"Not personally, but I know your father. Now it's time for you to listen to this short story. Did your father ever tell you about the past? I mean, why was he banished to Snowy Mountain?"

"He was going to tell me… but now…"

"Well, don't be sad, I will tell you the story of your stupid father, or perhaps I should say your great father. To the villagers he was stupid, and to your mother he was a great man. Well, listen carefully.

This is Pabloca Island, it's an island where the snow never stops, and only fools live on this island.

Perhaps the word 'fools' is exaggerated, but a sane person will not live on this island, and certainly not in this village.

The people of the village celebrate a lot if the child born is female, and they raise her carefully and take good care of her until she reaches the age of fifteen or sixteen.

When a female reaches this age, she must choose a man to marry, and this is where the problems begin.

After the female loses her virginity membrane with the man she wanted, everyone in the village has the right to sleep with her. And no one objected to this law before, because the control was for men.

The men exchange women among themselves, you will sleep with my wife, and in return I will sleep with your wife. Life goes on like this every night.

I hope you have understood my meaning. Most of the children here do not know who their real father is. This situation has been going on for more than a hundred years. When I was born, I found them like this. I do not know who spread this culture among them.

But one day, a girl finally reached the age of fifteen, and she chose the man she wanted to complete her life with. But she didn't want to give her body to anyone else. the samething for him, He didn't want anyone to take her from him, and these two people are your parents. Apparently, they've been in love with each other since they were kids.

As far as I remember, your mother is not from this village. She came to this island with an old lady when she was five years old. I'm afraid I don't remember the person who raised your mother, there are many people in this village, and I have my own life, so I don't meddle in what doesn't concern me.

But that changed later, when your mother became so beautiful, all men wished she would choose them, but she chose your father.

But the thing that made the men so angry was her unwillingness to give them a chance, in other words, she had broken the village rules.

Here your mother became very famous in the village, and I became a little interested in her story. But when it comes to strength, men were stronger, so we just sat and watched.

Your father was 20 years old at that time, as far as I remember, and he was four years older than your mother. But he was able to protect her from the scoundrels of this village. As a result of his stubbornness, they were banished from the island.

This is the limit of my knowledge of your parents, I am just an old woman who has realized her mistakes. I also have a lot of questions. I think it has been at least 25 years since your mother and father left the village. You must be at least 23 years old, how old are you now?

"Fourteen"

"Only fourteen? That's strange. Did your parents wait 11 years to have you? That's why the villagers don't recognize you. Do you have an older sister?"

"No"

"It's strange, but I won't get involved in What doesn't include me, by the way, how's your mother?"

Violet remained silent, so the old woman sighed, saying;

"I see, no matter how hard I try to comfort you, I can't replace the emptiness inside of you right now."

Violet was looking at the steam rising from the hot roast meat, saying;

"Opa-san..."

"That's not my name."

"Where should I go now? Where are the police, or I shiuld say the Marine? Why isn't they arresting me now? Maybe prison would be a good option for me..."
