1472 Let me make it up to you.
Step Step Step
With Nux gone and all the fuss he caused finally setting down, Azriel slowly walked towards his daughter.
Aeliana stared at the man in front of her with a complicated look on her face.
He was the man she wanted to meet all her life, he was the man who she had only heard about, a man who is known to have sacrificed his everything for the greater good of the world.He was the man she deeply respected and... also the man she hated.
This man sacrificed everything for the greater good, even his own daughter. As the mentioned daughter, it wasn't exactly easy for Aeliana to forgive him.
Of course, thinking like this was extremely selfish on her part, Aeliana realized this as well, however, she just couldn't help but be selfish, especially now, when the man she should call her father was standing right in front of her.
Aeliana didn't know how she should react in this situation, should she yell at her father and take out all of her anger, or should she cry and act weak, should she completely ignore this man, or should she try to get close to him and understand him?
There were many options, Aeliana however, was having a hard time thinking about this. Clearly, her mind wasn't working in the most efficient manner.
It wasn't just her, the rest of the Progenitors were the same, even Faustina.
Heavy silence enshrouded the area, no one dared to speak.Nux's previous words about how Aeliana hated this world didn't just affect Azriel, it affected the Progenitors as well. After all, all of them took care of her and treated her like their own daughter.
All the Progenitors cared about Aeliana and knowing that this was how Aeliana truly felt pained their heart. They knew it was impossible to completely replace the girl's mothers and father, however, they still felt that they had done a great job nonetheless.
Learning that everything was merely an act Aeliana put up to deceive them and this was how she truly felt deep inside was a big blow to them, especially when they realized the fact that the one who understood their daughter the most was not them, but a child who had barely interacted with her for a thousand years.
"Aeliana."
"!!!"
Aeliana widened her eyes in surprise when she was suddenly wrapped around in an embrace so gentle and comforting that for the first time in her long life, she felt like she could finally let her guard down.
Realizing that it was her father who had suddenly hugged her, Aeliana's mind completely stopped working. All the thoughts in her mind came to a halt, her body moved on instincts and... it decided to shut itself off.
The woman simply closed her eyes, letting her father embrace her as she stood still like an immovable object, not even hugging her father back.
Azriel didn't mind.
Right now, his mind was busy trying to understand- no, recall this positive emotion he was currently feeling. Embracing his daughter like this felt like hundreds of thousands of kilograms of weight trying to bury him was released.
The joy he felt was so pure that all these centuries of constant pain he was in was healing. He felt as if his heart which had long stopped beating was beating again.
Despite his emotions being in turmoil, first time in a long long while, Azriel felt like his mind was at ease, however, he knew this wasn't over.
When he saw that child trying to flirt with his daughter, he was angry. He was angry, he wanted nothing more than to skin that boy alive and protect his daughter from that womanizing bastard, soon however, he asked himself a question.
Does he deserve to do it?
Does he have the right to get involved with his daughter's life?
He was trying to meddle with his daughter's life, trying to keep her away from that boy because that boy might hurt her, but... could he be the one to make such a decision?
He? The very reason his daughter hates everything around her?
Could he, as a man responsible for everything his daughter suffered, try to distance her from the only man who understood her daughter?
He couldn't.
He had no right.
Azriel didn't know much about Nux Leander, however, with a single interaction with that boy, he did know one thing.
At the very least, Nux was better than him.
Unlike how he 'abandoned' his daughter, Nux understood her, and not just his daughter, but those women around him as well, all this while, Nux made sure he stood in front of them. Azriel could even feel that if any of the Progenitors harmed any of his wives, that man would willingly sacrifice his life to avenge them.
He was a fool, an obsessed fool.
And maybe... that was the type of fool is the one who could win Aeliana's heart.
The moment he realized this, Azriel's eyes turned cold. He clenched his fists in anger and then, he made a decision.
He needed to change everything.
If things went on like this, his daughter would definitely fall in that bastard's hand and he couldn't allow that.
Yes, he didn't have the right to make such a decision yet.
However, the keyword here was 'yet'.
He would change.
After a long long while, he would start being selfish again.
Yrniel might fall?
It didn't matter anymore.
What was the point of saving the world that his very daughter hated? What was the point of doing everything when his daughter, the very person he was doing everything for, didn't like it?
Everything would now change.
"Forgive me, my daughter."
Azriel said those words, placing her hand on Aeliana's head.
Feeling her father's hand on her head, a small drop of tear rolled out of Aeliana's eyes. She still stayed silent, however, slowly and gently, she was placing her head on her father's chest, accepting his embrace.
"Forgive me for everything I have done till now,
Forgive me for not being able to understand you,
Forgive me for not being there for you.
And...
Let me make it up to you."
