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.

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?

He wanted to break the engagement in the end?

Angela seemed to think the same thing, but she was less reserved than me.

This was her father, so she didn't hold back at all as she narrowed her eyes to look at the king and asked, "What are you doing asking this now out of all time? Isn't it too late for this? Or are you regretting your decision and want to cancel your plans?"

The way that she looked at the king almost made it seem like she had lost all respect for him.

But the king just said with a bitter smile, "I'm a father in the end, this is what I should be asking. Shouldn't you at least let your father keep this little bit of dignity that he has?"

There was a complicated expression that appeared on Angela's face when she heard this.

She just looked at the king with this complicated look on her face for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

I also understood how the king felt in this situation.

He had no choice but to go along with this, but he would still want to act as a parent when his daughter was being married.

So I looked back at the king with a serious look and said, "I've already decided to marry your daughter, so I promise that I will never do anything to hurt her and devote myself to her."

Though I couldn't help feeling a bit awkward since for someone like me who came from a world with monogamy, I was currently a scumbag who was seven timing. But in this world where polygamy was legal, I shouldn't be feeling this way.

I had already slowly come to terms with this and it was no more than a small matter in the back of my mind now.

Seeing me look straight at him and say this, the king gave a nod of approval before saying, "As expected of the one that my daughter has chosen." Then with a smile, he said, "I've made sure to raise her well ever since she was young. I made sure to tell her all about what kind of men she should associate with and what kind of men she should avoid, so I do trust her eyes."

Then with a sigh, he said, "But as a father, I really want to make sure that the best person is with my daughter. After all, she is my precious daughter."

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.
