Revelation

"I have accomplished the mission that you gave me. You are right. There was a severe disparity between your account of the events and Amy's. Father, unfortunately, I believe that Amy's hatred for you is not just deep-rooted but also somewhat righteous. King Aiden was right in his suspicions and in choosing to refuse you."

King Delroy disconnected the call while Emmy stared at the phone blankly. This was the first time her father had addressed her as his daughter. It was a bittersweet moment.

Emilia brought her knees closer to her as she lay her head on them and wondered if she did the right thing. All her life, she had yearned for him to look at her, to love her and to accept her. And after much trying, she had received none of it.
