(EP-152.2) Aspect #5
152 – New Aspect #5
I carefully opened the sealed letter and started reading its contents.
「My daughter, Elganes.」
Unfortunately, the very first sentence alone had already managed to leave me stumped.
“Elganes?”
Elga then replied.
“That’s actually my real name. What? Is there a problem?”
“Of course not...”
I supposed Elga was just a nickname. I didn’t know if it was because I had grown accustomed to it, but “Elga” seemed to fit her much better than the princess knight name, “Elganes.”
“Then I will continue reading.”
The contents of the letter were lighthearted.
Things like whether she was eating well, studying, or maintaining her training every day. It was the kind of conversation a father might have with his daughter.
They were ordinary, but it made me suddenly realize what a father was supposed to be like. Probably because I had never experienced anything like this.
If I became a father, should I ask my daughter these things?
As I read further, there was quite an interesting passage.
「Ark has long been a gathering place for young and talented men and women. Perhaps you can meet someone there who will suit your picky he-.」
“There is not much written here! Let’s get to the next part!!!”
Before I could finish reading, Elga swiftly snatched the front page of the letter away and then tore it up without any hesitation.
And so, onto the next page.
「So, this is the main point you asked about. I don’t know whom you’ve heard of Isaiah Gospel from, but most of what you imagine is likely different from the truth. Don’t make hasty judgments.」
It was finally here.
I focused and read the letter to the end.
It was written that Isaiah Gospel was the son of Solomon Angmar, who was called the Demon King. It also mentioned the concealment of this fact, and he did study with them at Ark.
Up to when he suddenly disappeared.
The story didn’t stray far from what I had already known.
「Sometimes, it’s better for things to remain buried. They’re forgotten for a good reason.」
He even warned us not to dig too deep...
Was Reinhardt intentionally hiding the information?
Honestly, he could be. Or perhaps not. It was a fifty-fifty chance.
“If there is such a person, wouldn’t you want to take revenge on them? If it were me, I would.”
“Even if the Lioness Family was destroyed by their own hands, do you still desire revenge against those who caused it?”
“Yes. Aren’t humans such creatures? People are not aware of their own faults and only care about what others have done wrong.”
‘That’s right.’
In fact, I was also working hard to rebuild my family.

You are the only survivor of a fallen family.
You must revive the family while avoiding those who want to destroy it.
Fortunately, you are motivated to rebuild your family.
This would not even truly be my family, but I was still striving for its greatness.
If it was the true heir of Angmar who was filled with hatred, they might want to tear their enemies to shreds. They would be sharpening their claws in the darkness.
Thinking this way, I could understand Elga’s anger.
What if Elga found out my secret identity? What would happen the day she discovered that infamous family had given birth to a Half-Nymph?
I’d like to gauge her.
I’d like to ask her a question to get her reaction without revealing my identity.
“Eheum.”
I cleared my throat.
And then, I decided to ask Elga.
“Elga-nim.”
“What, you’re trying to say something weird again!”
But, I just couldn’t seem to find the right words.
