Chapter 670 As a father

The king and the fourth prince both revealed wide smiles after they heard this.

I could only shake my head with a bitter smile on my face.

After all, this was my first time encountering a situation like this. This was the first time that I heard of someone being threatened into becoming a king.

Taking the throne and becoming a king was something that many people dreamed of, but here I was being forced into taking the throne because of their plan. I really didn't know how to feel about all of this. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

I could see that Angela was feeling the same about this based on the look on her face.

But the king didn't give us time to process this in the end.

It seemed that there was something else that he wanted to discuss with us...or rather with me.

Narrowing his eyes to look at me, the king suddenly asked, "What are your intentions towards my daughter?"

The only thing that I could think of as he said this was...

"Isn't it too late to be asking me this!?"

After all, we're already engaged, so it wasn't as if there were any other intentions that I could have for her. We were going to get married and there wasn't anything else that would happen.

Well, unless we were going to break the engagement...

Was this what it was about?

Angela had been planning on stopping him since she felt that he was embarrassing her, but when he said the latter half, she couldn't help revealing a touched look.

This was her father and he was saying his true feelings, so of course she would be touched by his words.

But that was where it took a turn.

After praising Angela for a bit, the king suddenly gave a sigh and said, "Though I can be proud of my daughter, I can't say the same about my sons."

He turned to the fourth prince to say, "Of course, I don't mean Noah here. He is someone that I'm as proud of as Angela. He really is the best son that a man can ask for."

The fourth prince couldn't help touching the back of his head in an awkward fashion when he heard this.

Then the king turned back and said with another sigh, "But the other sons...I really don't know what to say as a father. No, the only thing that I can say is that I failed them as a father, which is why they turned out like that in the first place. The only thing I can do now is walk this path to the end and take responsibility as their father."

The king suddenly stood up and walked over to a cabinet that was in this room.

He moved to the side of the cabinet and pressed a secret button in it, revealing a secret compartment.

He pulled something out of that secret compartment, which turned out to be a bottle of wine and some glasses.

After sitting back down, the king didn't hesitate in opening that bottle of wine and pouring out cups for all of us as he kept complaining about his other sons.

It seemed that this wine was the king's secret stash for when he wanted to complain.

But since he had already poured the wine for us, we had no choice but to drink with him and listen to him complain. Though I did stop Angela from drinking too much since I found that this stuff was quite strong.

Just like that, the night passed drinking with my future father in law and listening to his complaints.
