Chapter 1022 Magic Dust
"What is it?" Rowena asked Raphael with concern. She had seen his displeased expression and was wondering if something really bad was written in her father's notebook.
Raphael looked up with eyes filled with pity. He knew his beloved had such a hard life, and she had suffered so much. However, to relearn it in writing with such detail made him feel so bad for her.
He didn't want to tell her what he had just read. She would only feel hurt even more. What good would it do? There was nothing they could do about the past, and Draco was now dead. It's not like they could come to him and make him pay for his crimes.
"It's just your father's notes," said Raphael softly. "Nothing important." The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
"If they are not important, you wouldn't have that expression," said Rowena. "Please be honest with me."
Raphael sighed. He opened the pages again and pointed at one page. He decided to read it to her and made Rowena think that it was the only page that made him feel upset.
"I am upset because here he wrote that he didn't love your mother and, by extension, he also didn't love you. He was kicked out of the elven realm because he tried to sneak into Cretea from the portal located in the elven royal palace. That's why he married your mother, a princess, so that he could get access to the palace," he said. "This makes me so upset, and I wish I could kill him with my own hands."
Rowena looked at Raphael with round eyes. She was surprised to learn that her father didn't love her mother. All this time, she grew up thinking Draco hated her for causing the death of the woman he loved.
It turned out Draco never loved his wife.
Her body trembled, and Rowena had to hold on to Raphael's arm for support. She had blamed herself for something that she didn't do.
"My poor mother..." she whispered in a hoarse voice. Only now could she feel sympathy for her mother. Both the elven princess and she were unloved by Draco, and they lived all their lives trying to please the man and get his love and approval.
All this time, Rowena only felt guilty. She blamed herself for her mother's death and her father's bitterness. However, it seemed death was a good way out for her mother to leave her suffering life with Draco behind.
"Draco never loved her nor you," said Raphael. At this point, Rowena already knew it, and it no longer hurt her as much as before. Raphael continued, "So, please stop blaming yourself for what your father did. He didn't have love for you, not because he blamed you for your mother's death. He is just an evil man through and through. I think it will be better just to throw this book and forget about everything."
