Chapter 2208 Ann Was An Accident II

Getting their things in order, the brothers calmed Anna down and checked her origin card. To their relief she wasn't lying, she was the real deal though her personality had changed for good and there was nothing they could do to revert it. She was also right about her origin card, its abilities and name were kind of wacky but it was indeed strong with powerful effects.

However, the brothers do not understand why the good daughter was the one trapped as the origin card while the bad daughter was considered the original. It was a mystery but the brothers did not have the time to explore it as the group of card creationists who ran for their lives suddenly returned together.

These old geniuses weren't even able to make it past the palace doors. Soldier Queen Colleen who happened to return from her post to check on the progress of her only grandchild's origin card creation grew wary when she saw the card creationist her brother-in-law called for help with the origin card creation where making excuses to leave the Southern royal place in a hurry. The actions of these gray-headed card creationists could not be more suspicious.

She had the demigods on duty capture these old geniuses and force the truth out of them. Learning there was an accident in her granddaughter's origin card creation and her granddaughter was acting oddly. She immediately hurried to the card lab with the captured culprits.

Seeing Colleen enter the card lab right behind their pensive-faced friends, Lorenzo and Leo's hearts jumped from their chests into their mouths. They felt as if they saw death. However, they simultaneously fell to their knees when they heard Anna impolitely address the queen without following the proper royal etiquette, 'Hey, grandma. Why did you bring these stuck-up fools back? I completed my origin card creation without their help. Their services are no longer needed!

The group of card creationists wanted to remind Anna that they were the ones who transformed the legendary and mythical grade ingredients into soul pathways needed to create her orign card. But they stayed quiet and cussed Anna and her overbearing family in their minds. Not wanting to make things worse for themselves.

Hearing Anna address Colleen as grandma and speak to her without seeking permission first, the demigods guarding her frowned as the proper royal etiquette demanded that of everyone, even if it was a blood relative who was addressing the queen.

"What did you just call me? Colleen asked her granddaughter in shock. Causing Lorenzo, Leo, and the demigods to hold their breaths. They did not want young Anna to get in trouble. After all, she was the jewel of the southern region.

"Grandma. Why do you ask? Do you not like it? I can call you Granny or Grammy if you want. Anything is fine as long as you don't demand me to call you elder sister like my mother. Because, come on, with those strands of gray hair in your head we would be fooling no one, Anna babbled on not caring for the dark expressions of the Southerners in the room. In the presence of her grandma, she had no fear in the world. Knowing her grandma would shelter her from all the trouble that came her way.

"Popostrous, why would I not like it if my granddaughter endearingly called me grandma? It's just I have been asking you to call me grandma like you used to when you were little but you refused to do so bringing up proper royal etiquette and whatnot. What changed?" Colleen asked, acting ignorant to Anna's 'you old' comment.

Colleen had repeatedly tried and failed to get Anna to address her as grandma and not as "Your Majesty' or 'Your Highness! She felt that because of her daughter's strict upbringing, her granddaughter might miss out on her childhood. Even though Colleen was the Southern Queen she was still a commoner in heart, the only reason she accepted the royal treatment was for the sake of her subjects. After all, as their queen, she represented the entire south.

However, she did not want her status as queen to become the hurdle between her connecting with her children and grandchild. Therefore, seeing Anna address her as grandma after a long time she was visibly shocked and moved. The current Anna felt more close to her than the previous one. Unlike Lorenzo who preferred the old Anna, she liked the new Anna. She even welcomed Anna's comment on her age. After becoming the queen she missed such casual banters with her friends and colleagues.

While Anna was happy that her grandma accepted the new her and Colleen was happy that her grandchild was acting her age and being true to herself, the Southerners and the card creationists watching them were taken aback. They found the granddaughter and grandmother pair odd. However, neither dared to make a sound or show any sign of disrespect.

"My origin card finally opened my eyes and freed me from my mental prison. Grandma, I never felt. so free before,' Anna replied with bright eyes that revealed the emotions she was feeling right now to Colleen.

"I see," Colleen nodded and then congratulated Anna, "Congratulations on your origin card, honey" Colleen was happy to see Anna was able to speak her mind freely and not hesitate trying to pick her words carefully. Now she felt more like a regular child than a child trying too hard to pretend like an adult. Unlike Anna's mother Colleen had no expectations of Anna but one, to live her life to the fullest.

However, nobody in the card lab understood what the grandmother and granddaughter duo discussed. Later, Colleen turned to face the group of card creationists and sternly warned, 'You said she had lost her mind. She looks fine to me. How dare you slander the Southern royalty?"

"We were mistaken, Your Majesty. Please forgive us; the group of card creationists begged for Colleen's forgiveness in unison. However, in their mind, they could help but wonder if the Southern Queen had a few screws loose.

"Fine, don't repeat it but if I hear anyone gossiping about my granddaughter, I will find you guys. Then, heads will roll."'
