"I have thought so too. Therefore I went to the annex building and checked the portraits mother used to have with her maids! I saw the portrait of Evan's adopted mother there!"
'He should have burnt that portrait!' William's hands clenched into a fist as the surge of anger and regret fielded him!
He banged the table with his fist as he glared at the boy who was still sitting there calmly!
"So! What does it have to do with you calling , your highness? I would not accept this behavior! If you have anything to discuss then speak clearly!" he bellowed as he looked into his hollow eyes with a stern gaze and a wary smile ford on his face.
"If that is what you want! The duchess gave birth to a girl another ti and it turned her desperate!
Since everyone had high expectations from her. So, you took the baby and changed it from a boy!
And when she ca back to her senses! You told her that she had given birth to !
Just to save your dukedom! To save your pride, you took my family away and so did your own daughter's!
But you never felt remorse! And when guilt creeps in, you bring gold and things mother uses for her! While acting like a good father to !
But when you realized that I am going to take your inheritance, you can not accept that a man of no na would take everything that belongs to you, so you brought your daughter back and asked to marry her. So that everything would end up in the hands of your blood when she would give birth to a child!
I must say, no one is as wise as you! I salute you, your highness" Leo applauded in a loud tone while tears started to fill his eyes, but he did not let a single one of it co out of his eyes as he looked above and blinked his eyes.
The color of the face of the man bled away with every word! He could not believe that his son thought about him this way!
"Leo!" he banged his fist on the table once again as his whole body trembled with rage! This ti the punch was strong enough to create cracks in the wood.
Leo's eyes flickered as he stared at the blood coming from the hands of his father. If it would have been any other ti, then he would have ran to him and scolded him for being so impulsive and then took care of his wounds.
But now.. He kept sitting there as if he had been frozen in place. Not because he did not care, but because he did not know if he still had the rights!
"You are bleeding!"
"Do not try to change the matter of discussion! You have spent your whole lifeti with and now you are doubting my love and sincerity towards you?!!
Now you would say that even Eli and Eve have selfish motives towards you!" he yelled as he stared towards his cold eyes who looked away!
He had not even in his dreams had doubted the love he had received from his mother and sisters! That was why, even after so many holes in the story, he only wanted to bla his father!
"You scoundrel! You dare to treat this way! Would you believe that I would beat you into a pulp even when your marriage is due in two days! Huh?
I did not know what nonsense you have heard! But if you want to know the truth..
Your mother and I have always loved and cared for our kids without caring about their gender!
Even when she was pregnant with the third child, I told her that I did not care if it was a boy or a girl! We can always adopt a boy from the vassal family and train him to be their heir of the family.
Or I can take care of the dukedom until one of our daughters finds a capable man!
But that day, I was told that a boy was born! We have loved you with all our heart and blood!
But a year ago, when she left , she told that you are not our child! I thought it was the effect of dicines until she told that my sister had swapped you.
She is the one who brought you and changed it when your mother was still unconscious!
And by the ti she ca to know, she had already started loving and did not have the heart to tell the truth even to in case my love for you changed!
Did you realize how much attached she was to you to let her daughter suffer in the dark in case you were not treated well!
But she was afraid that when she would be gone, there would be no one to take care of that poor girl! That was why she told the truth!
But when I decided to bring her back, she denied! She asked to promise her that I would never let you know the truth!
I would never hurt you since you are her son! Even till the end, she was not worried about or leaving her daughters alone, but she was worried that you would be heartbroken and now you are telling all this nonsense that we have used you!?
Tell when have I asked you to take over my duties?
When you told that you want to be a knight instead! Haven't I let you go?
When you told that you want to go to war? Haven't I accepted it!
When have you supported in my work except for the ergencies?
And when have you not seen love in our eyes!
If you still believe the words of others and get swayed so easily then it is her fault to love you so much!
Because I would definitely not accept that I have been greedy while loving you and taking care of you!"
