"I can see that my son has chosen well. Apparently, Rowena's father is a great man," King Areal said proudly and looked over at King Draco with a regal smile.
He added, "Former Hero of Ashland, Participant in the Tournament of Godhood, and now the King of Ashland—and with a wonderful daughter that you've raised well. It seems like you've had many blessings in this life."
King Draco chuckled. "Perhaps so, perhaps that is the case. Unfortunately, there is one thing that continues to keep my heart wounded."
"Wounded?" the King of Cretea raised a brow.
"My wife died during childbirth and it has filled a hole that continues to grow deeper and led me down to dark places," King Draco confessed and placed a hand on his chest with a sad smile. "I am no perfect man. Far from it. I've done and said hurtful things from time to time."
