Cherished By Seven Sisters

Chapter 719 Meeting Pascal

“Nothing, lead us to the dungeon!” Emrys said calmly.

Endre didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He quickly escorted the two of them to the dungeon.

“Ask all the guards to leave. I need to discuss some private matters with Pascal,” said Emrys.

The relationship between Emrys and the Mapleton family was a mystery to most. Endre was puzzled, but he dared not defy Emrys‘ wishes. Consequently, he promptly withdrew all the guards.

He, too, left tactfully.

Yelena blinked and asked, “Should I leave?”

“Why should you leave? You’re not an outsider.”

“I can’t believe you trust me so much.” Yelena stared at Emrys with her charming eyes before chuckling. “Never mind. I’d better wait for you at the entrance.”

Although Emrys didn’t mind her tagging along, Yelena felt that she should be more sensible.

Emrys shook his head helplessly.

It’s not anything particularly private. I’m just here to ask Pascal how he’s doing. She didn’t have to leave.

However, since Yelena had already gone far away, Emrys couldn’t be bothered to call her back.

Based on the information provided by Endre, Emrys traversed through the dim and deep corridor, arriving at Cell A. Upon seeing the haggard figure inside, he blurted out, “Grandpa…”

Emrys had already learned about Pascal’s situation from Hazel. He knew that his grandfather had long since repented despite his past indiscretions.

Moreover, the reason he had been blinded by hatred in the past was due to his immense love for his daughter, who was also Emrys‘ mother.

Emrys simply couldn’t bring himself to hate him.

Upon seeing this once revered guardian of the Martial Arts Alliance reduced to such a pitiful state, Emrys couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

In the cell, Pascal’s aged body shuddered when he heard Emrys call him “Grandpa.” His voice trembled, too. “Empyrean Lord, I’m a sinner. I’m unworthy of being your grandfather.”

Pascal had always felt guilty toward Emrys, and upon hearing how Emrys addressed him, his guilt deepened instantly.

He hadn’t fulfilled even the slightest bit of his responsibility as a grandfather over the years.

Not only did he fail Emrys as a grandfather, but he even went so far as to send people to kill Emrys. He was foolish.

During the time he spent in the dungeon repenting his sins, he’d slap himself on the cheek every time he reflected on the foolish things he had done in the past.

Therefore, Pascal felt he had no right to be called “Grandpa” by Emrys.

Emrys watched with a heavy heart, but he was at a loss for how to comfort the old man. All he could say was, “I will find Stein. I will make sure he answers to us.”

Even the cruelest person shouldn’t lay his hand on a woman who loves him. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Ever since Emrys learned the truth, he had instructed Seventy- two Shadow Forces to locate all individuals named Stein and deliver all their photographs to Hazel.

Alas, none of them were a match.

However, Emrys would not give up. He had a strong premonition that he would definitely find Stein, and when he did, he’d confront Stein and ask why he had been so ruthless.

He had a brief conversation with Pascal and got ready to leave, but before he could, Pascal’s hoarse, weary voice rang out. “Emrys, do you know why I despised your father so much and was against Aurelia being with him?”

This time, he didn’t address Emrys as “Empyrean Lord,” but instead called him by his name.

Emrys paused in his tracks and turned around.

Pascal sighed. “I loved Aurelia so much, and she chose that t herself As her father, how could I bear to separate them or start in their way?

“Then why did you…” Emrys stopped short, his voice trailing off

You said so, but the truth is, you still separated them. If you hadn’t objected, my mother might still be alive.
