246 An Irreparable Relationship (2/2)
Yale's face was strange; he was starting to get tired of mysterious people acting behind the scenes without him knowing anything; he admitted that it usually ended in his own benefit, but he started to guess that the sin was related to that person who his father was speaking of.
”I was told that our child wouldn't be really our child, it would be a reincarnated expert called Liye by the people in our continent. In fact, even an ancestor of the Roanmad had been a disciple from that Liye, and he was also an ancestor of the Zhan Clan, so the fact that our son was his reincarnation was a huge honor.”
Until that point Yale didn't find that anything was wrong, his father didn't even seem angry because his son was a reincarnated expert instead of a normal child.
”However, that person did something to you before you were born and as after-effects of that, my wife would die when giving birth. She agreed to that because that person said that it was Liye's will and she felt honored to die for that. She already felt that she had betrayed her clan when she eloped with me, so knowing that her ancestor would be reborn thanks to her was something that made her believe that everything was part of fate and that she was fated to marry me to give birth to her ancestor. Thus, her death was also part of your plan. You and that person killed the love of my life!”
At that moment, Yale started to understand why his father was angry but that was still unfair in Yale's eyes because he didn't remember anything related to that, for him he was just being blamed for something someone else did. Moreover, he was the one who suffered the most as a child by the lack of care by his parents, so he considered himself a victim of that more than the culprit.
”I know that there is an organization called True Empire acting against this Empire and that your reincarnation is important for the continent and for battling them, but for me, you will always be one of the culprits for my wife's death.”
He wasn't able to understand why he needed to lose his wife for the sake of the continent and always wondered that why Liye hadn't reincarnated in another place.
”You say that an unknown person like that one spoke in my name, but I don't remember about it. Are you sure that it was really my will and not someone putting the blame onto me?”
The expression of Yale's father didn't change when he heard Yale's question.
”I am sure. That person was just an incarnation, but even my wife assured that was more powerful than the head of the Zhan Clan. If that person weren't your ally, we would have been killed on the spot. Another proof is the expert of that time was the same one who made my power increase that much in just an instant and then sealed it just after that. Moreover, the only reason those bastards have problems to enslave Ange is that that person also did something to her.”
Yale was shocked to hear that last part, but it made sense; from the memories of the soldier he killed, he knew that there were some problems in enslaving Ange, but it was difficult to explain without an external aid because she was just at the Apprentice Rank.
As for the increase of power of his father, Yale thought that was a compensation by that Mysterious Expert for the damage provoked.
”Anyway, there is no reason to explain more to you. I knew some more things, but I think that is good for you to suffer a bit from not knowing it. I will collaborate with you to help Ange, but after that, I hope to not see you again in my whole life. I think I have sacrificed enough for you. To open the place when Ange is isolated, there is needed a special method I obtained from that person back then and someone with the Time Bloodline.”
The Mysterious Expert had already told about what would happen that day before Yale's birth, and Yale's father knew that Yale would help him to rescue Ange. However, even Yale's father didn't expect that the one who would drag him to the prison would be Yale and he really thought that the Mysterious Expert was wrong and he would be enslaved.
”This may be the only thing we will agree in our lives; I also don't plan to have any more relation with you, but saving Ange is the priority.”
Yale knew that the relationship between the two of them was irreparable because it was broken before he was even born. Yale wouldn't forgive his father for neglecting him, nor his father would forgive him for the acts of that the Mysterious Expert did on Liye's behalf.
