Chapter 538 - Father And Daughter

Tang Shaoyang looked toward Ashley, if the girl gave him permission to kill her father then he would do it right away. However, Ashley shook her head, ”Can you give-”

The words cut off midway by Duran Ambrose, ”Thereʼs nothing for us to talk about, Damn Whore! Just kill me already… Ah, I see. You donʼt want to grant me a quick death. You want to torture me first. I see, so this is the repayment from raising a whore?” The father smirked as he looked at her daughter.

Tang Shaoyang could see that Ashleyʼs eyes were twitching. The girl still could not accept that the one in front of her was her father. The father she loved dearly. The father she was proud of. She was now facing Duranʼs true color and the girl could not accept that yet. The reason why she tried to ask Tang Shaoyang to spare her father.

”What? Am I wrong? You betrayed me for this monster!” Duran Ambrose tried to point at Tang Shaoyang with his index finger as he shouted at her, ”You tell him everything about Ambroseʼs family and also the Revolution Army. It was your doing, right? The one who told about the Revolution Armyʼs existence to Prince Kaiden? It was you who killed Prince Kaiden and framed the Revolution Army, right!?”

Even at this moment, the thing in Duran Ambroseʼs mind was Revolution Army. He did not even pretend to love her daughter for his life to be spared. That trick might work but he did not bother to try it. It was as if he vented out all his frustration on his daughter. The light on his eyes even showed hatred toward his daughter.

Tears trickled down from Ashleyʼs eyes. The girl noticed everything. She was aware of the hate in his fatherʼs tone and eyes. She could tell that well that her father hated her, but why? What did she do wrong? She did everything to make him proud of her but all of that seemed to be fake. Once again, she came to a realization that her father never praised her.

The time when she graduated from the Lionax Academy. The time when she extinguished the band of bandits that destroyed their village and killed her mother. The time when she achieved her victory against the Malecia or the Warmir. The time when she was appointed as a Commander. Not even once her father praised her for her accomplishment. Back then, she thought that she was still lacking.

Ashley then remembered the one time her father praised her. It was the time when she accepted Prince Chandlerʼs proposal. He praised that she could be the important key for the Revolution Army to win against the Royal Family. That one time, he never asked her if she was happy with Prince Chandler or not. What mattered to him was the Revolution Army.

She finally realized the harsh truth. Her father never praised her because he hated her. That hatred was so clear, in his harsh tone, the curses thrown at her, ”But why? Why did you hate me so much? What did I do wrong to you? I am trying my best to be a daughter you can be proud of! Why did you hate me?” Ashley burst out and questioned her father.

When Duran Ambrose heard that, a mad grin formed on his wolfy face, showing the white canines, ”Do you want to know why? Because you are not my daughter. You are never my daughter. Your whore mother slept with countless men in the village while I was away, working my ass to feed you, mother and daughter. Do you think I donʼt know that? I donʼt even know if you are my daughter or not! No, you are not my daughter, you are those villagersʼ daughters! If not for the talent you showed, did you think I would bring you with me? No, you can be a use for the Revolution Army, either die on the battlefield or become a whore for the Royal Family or other nobles! You-”

Tang Shaoyang did not let the man finish his words as his feet stepped onto his head and stepped his head down to the ground. He made sure the man could not talk anymore, ”Are you sure you still want to talk with your crazy father?”

”Why? Why do you believe those rumors? How could you not trust your wife? Why do you trust those villagers instead of my mother?” Tears kept trickling down from Ashleyʼs eyes as she muttered those words.

Back then, Ashleyʼs mother was the prettiest girl in the village, causing the other men and husbands to look at her. The beauty that brought a disaster. No women like her mother because they were thinking that Ashleyʼs mother was seducing the other men. The jealousy aroused within the married women and they started to spread the rumors about Ashleyʼs mother, causing the other villagers to isolate them. That was what actually happened.

The mother and the daughter decided to move away from the village. However, the two were waiting for their husband and father who never came back until the famous band of bandits raided the village. Her mother died and she somehow dodged the disaster. That time, her father returned only to bring her back with him. She never thought that her father would trust the rumor.

”Why would you cry for him? He does not deserve your tears,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head and wiped her tears, ”I would rather not having a father than having a father like this one,”

”You donʼt know!” Ashley screamed in his face.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head, ”You are right, I know nothing about parental love. I live without knowing who my mother is, and who my father is. I know nothing about them, but I can tell one thing. I would rather live that way than having a father like this one. So, what do you want to do with him? Do you still want to talk with him? He will only keep insulting and cursing you. He wants you to suffer as that is an enjoyment for him because he knows that his end is near.”
