"You look so much like your mother and I realized my mistakes," King Draco said with a hoarse voice. "How could I have simply let you waste away in that tower—you are my child and yet at that point, I couldn't tell your uncle the truth."
Jadeith frowned and approached them. "Grief has led you to keep secrets, and that is unforgivable—I hate you for it, Draco, but even more so that your daughter had to run away from you."
King Draco placed a hand on his chest. "I am a harsh man, I only wished that my daughter would be raised well and yet I made mistakes. That is why you ran away didn't you, Rowena? I was too strict on you—too... much."
Rowena stayed silent. She didn't know if she dreamed of this day or not, but everything was finally being revealed at last.
Lady Liz told her that King Draco was strict because he cared—but Julian said it was because the man was uncaring. Saw her as a pawn.
