Chapter 4-Dan Farseed's agony.

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

--something is wrong.

Dan Farseed was alone and agonizing over it.

Cleo had worked hard and excelled at the Royal Academy. There was a feeling deep in his heart that he wanted to honor him for that. But more than that, a sense of frustration tormented him.

"I can't go on like this."(Dan)

Which did he mean by those words?

Was he speaking to himself or to Cleo?

Dan was trying to suppress the black feelings that were welling up inside him. But...

"Father! Look at me, I go—!"(Cleo)

"Second place again, ......?"(Dan)

"...... Eh?"(Cleo)

One day, when he was having a moment of relaxation.

When Cleo cheerfully came to report his results, Dan said to him,

"Shouldn't you be in first place by now?"(Dan)

These were the kind of words that should not be directed at a brilliant son.

Dan should have understood that better than anyone.

The moment it left his mouth, he could not stop his emotions.

"Enough! We don't need half-talented people in the dukedom!"(Dan)

"Ugh, wah......!"(Cleo)

The next thing he knew, he was shoving his son who came running to him.

Dan huffs a moment later. Cleo doesn't seem to understand what happened. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be hurt, but that's not the point for his father.

What had he just done?

He had raised his hand against his beloved son and treated him badly.

This fact casts a dark shadow over his mind.

"...... let me be alone for a while."(Dan)

He tried his best to cover it up and finally squeezed out a small voice.

Cleo trembled, and he wondered if Cleo was now afraid of him.

Dan was filled with regret.

"Why ......? Something is wrong with me ?"(Dan)

A sense of frustration at not knowing what it was, and a sense of guilt at not knowing the cause.

Between the two, Dan Farseed continued to agonize.

"If this is not the case, then I have to steel my heart ......!"(Dan)

He knew he was about to do something decisive to Cleo.

Such intuition was born in him. However

"Should I really do that........Can I really do that to my son?"(Dan)

Dan could not give an answer.

And the months and days passed mercilessly. ......

TL Note- We will finally know the answer on the next chapter.
