Chapter 109: Returning Home Part Three
Chapter 109: Returning Home Part Three
After Sid left with Kyle, I had Marsil and Claire guard the door so that no one could run away. I then proceeded up the stairs with Alissa and Able as we walked towards my good for nothing father's office. When we reached the office a guard was standing at the door. He was about to knock and announce our arrival but Able quickly rushed forward and stopped him. I wanted to surprise this father of mine. I wanted to see that look on his face when he saw me for the first time in many years.
But as I stood outside his door getting ready to open it, I could hear him talking from inside. "Those damn Ronstines really are cheap. They sent me only a few coppers for that woman they bought off me."
" Haha, what woman?" Another voice that I did not recognize came from within the room.
"I don't know, some maid I guess. Their son took a fancy of her and wanted to marry her. Once he mentioned money I did not hesitate to say yes. Unfortunately, I did not ask how much. Anyway, why are you here? You know if I get caught with you in my house it would be treason!" I covered my mouth in shock hearing their conversation. I didn't even have time to be mad at the fact that he just called me some maid! So instead of barging in, I decided to wait and listen. Luckily Able took quick action and knocked out the guard already.
"Relax, no one will know I am even here. My Father Emperor wants to know if you can really grant our army passage into the areas to the west, unnoticed?" The mysterious man asked.
"Of course, it will take some time though. The plan was not to attack for quite some time right?" Baron Lancaster asked.
"Yes, right now we just want to send one hundred men to start scouting out the area. Selinicia has a lot of territory, so we want to inspect the different areas which will take time." The mysterious man answered.
"That's fine. I will notify the people at the west pass to let you through. Just keep your end of the bargain. Once you take over Selinicia, you must grant me a high position in the court!" I was appalled by what I was hearing. So it turns out the reason the Empire was able to enter Selinicia with ease in the story of Magical Love was due to this good for nothing father of mine!?
I glanced over at Able who gave me a nod. I turned to Alissa and said: "Hide in the side room over there."
"Rei, be careful." Alissa said as she gave me a worried look and did as I asked. I guess Alissa knew it was best to listen to me than to stubbornly tag along. For this, I was grateful since I did not wish for her to get hurt.
With Alissa safe, I raised my foot and kicked the door end sending it to the other side of the room with a loud bang. "Who!?"
The two men stood up in surprise as they looked at me as I walked in, Able behind me. "Able, grab the tall man. I will get this good for nothing."
"You dare!?" The mysterious man shouted. He waved his hand and a sword appeared in it. But Able did not care as he drew his sword as well. The two swords clashed causing sparks to fly about.
"Able Ronstine!?" My good for nothing father finally yelled out. He then looked at me and yelled: "Who the hell are you? Why did you break into my home!? Guards!"
I watched as he struggled to pull out his sword from its sheath. This half balding man who was obviously overweight was actually my birth father? I felt shivers run up my spine just thinking about it. Nonetheless, I had no choice but to state who I was. "You seem to be mistaken, Baron Lancaster. I can not break into a home when I have my own room here. You see that maid you sold, happened to be your own flesh and blood. No matter how much I hate to say it, I am your biological daughter."
"What nonsense are you spe." As if struck with a revelation, Baron Lancaster's voice got caught in his throat. His eyes turned cold as he suddenly yelled out: "You little bitch, you dare usurp the heir of the Lancaster house!? You are just like that bitch mother of yours. You women just do as you please not even realizing that men are far superior! You dare come back here after hurting your brother. If I do not teach you to respect men today, then my last name is not Lancaster!"
"I see why Reed was so fucked in the head. You are truly sexist. You left your daughter to die and even sold her off thinking you were selling a maid. Now that you remember that you even had a daughter, you call me a bitch and say I am here to usurp the position of the heir? Do you not realize how long I have been standing outside that door? Not only are you stupid but you do not even look at the situation you are in. What I just heard outside before entering was you committing treason against your own kingdom! Helping a neighboring country invade your own kingdom is one of the highest forms of treason one can commit! And you are in the process of committing it! All, for what!? Power? Are you kidding me!? You can't even handle your own family! How the hell are you going to hold a high position!?"
