Chapter 131 - Fear

"I am your father, Reya, your real father. Humans used to call me chaos," he whispered and held her trembling hands.

The young man in front of her lovingly glanced at her. His brown eyes sparkled as he softly held her hand. "My Reya, I am sorry that I didn't come visit you for so long,"

Seeing her changing expressions, he stepped back a little. "Sorry, I was preposterous. I—I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable….. Even last time, I didn't mean to scare you so….."

"Wait, you met me before… you were the one who met me in the gates," she glanced at him with her eyes narrowed.
