Chapter 380 - Grown To Hate You (2/2)

”Hmm, even father is acting so crazy because of my rebellious daughter. His mind is so preoccupied with finding her that he forgot we always have knowledge of her whereabouts.”

”Then, will you tell him?” Winston inquires.

”No, let him be, it's been a while since I've seen my father so active. Let him figure out it himself. This is his punishment for threatening me.”

”My Lord, he is still your father.”

”And I am still his son.”

Winston sighed and gave in. They really are all hard-headed…. He can now understand why the Young Princess is so troublesome and rebellious as well.

”Where is she now?”

Winston got his phone out to check Elizabeth's current location. ”She is still on the south coast. She's on the fishing boat we arrange for her.”

”Very well.”

Winston couldn't understand why Lord Knightley continues to help his daughter despite the fact that he does not want her to recover her memory. He wonders why he wants her to find Professor Petrovich for. Could it be that if the Young Princess finds Professor Petrovich, she'll also might accidentally encounter the old man? If that is to happen…

He couldn't think of any possible outcome if their Young Princess is to meet the old man. He is curious though how the Young Princess would react? What if the old man would lock her up just like what Yun Shen did.

”My Lord, are you planning for the Young Princess to meet the old man?” Winston directly asked.

”They are bound to meet eventually, it's best she recover such memories…”

”What do you mean?”

”I'm sure she has met the old man in her past. She was in an underground society for years without our knowledge. We thought she was dead but who would have thought that Petrovich would even deceive me. Which could mean, Lizzy has met the old man before and he might be a reason as to why she suffered so much back then.”

”My Lord, if that is true, what does the Young Princess past has to do with Yun Shen?”

Lord Knightley did not answer and thought about it for a moment. He trusted Winston but wonder if he'll be able to take in such information.

”Yun Shen and Elizabeth are not bonded to be with each other. For both of them will only bring suffering and blood to each other. They are bound to hate each other and that is why they must not be with each other.”

”Do you mean, Yun Shen used to be in the underground society as well.”

”That I'm not sure of yet, but he reminds me of someone who used to bully Petrovich so much.”

”You mean the person who calls him BlackJack?”

”That's right, Petrovich used to talk about this boy who he took care of because the boy has a great disagreement with his parents. The boy came from a powerful family. I have a hunch that the boy might be Petrovich's close relative. Seeing that Petrovich did not do anything to Yun Shen when he knew he was the cause of all her suffering could only lead me to think that Yun Shen might be someone related to Petrovich.”

”Is that even possible?”

”I'm not sure yet, seeing the Yun Shen doesn't know much about Petrovich and as well as Lizzy's past could only mean, he must just be someone who looks like that person.”

”So, is that the reason as to why you are against them being together.”

Lord Knightley shook his head, which could only mean there are more reasons. ”As I said, they are bound by blood. Once Yun Shen knows the truth and Lizzy will regain her memory. She'll hate herself and might even kill Yun Shen and if Yun Shen finds Petrovich and knows of the truth. He might either take Lizzy's life as well or make her suffer by locking her up in a tower with him forever.”

”So you mean, you actually wish for the Young Princess to regain her memory?”

”Hmm…”

”All this time you acted as if you are against it so that they'll think… My Lord, why? The Young Princess has grown to hate you…”

”She needs a reason to push herself to find her own freedom.”

Winston's heart ached to hear such upsetting words coming out of his master's mouth. To think he'll use himself as a vessel for the Young Princess to find the truth by hating her father for not giving her freedom when he has given her freedom from the start.

'My Lord, why must you stab your own heart.'
