Volume 4, Chapter 28 – Entrusting His Daughter?

“Tianyin… I see, so your name is Tianyin… Mm, it seems you are that Throne who defeated the Stronghold on the frontline battlefield.”

After defeating the Black Dragon King, Heavenly Father had brought a host of angels to Lucifa’s castle.

After a round of conversation in the castle, Heavenly Father had more or less guessed Tianyin’s identity.

“The leader of the newly born Ninth Faction, Dawn… I had only heard that you were a little girl, but I never imagined you would be such a young little girl… your reputation really does not compare to seeing you in person.”

With his gentle attitude, Heavenly Father felt to Tianyin completely like a harmless middle aged man.

Of course, if she did not count the overwhelming power he had just displayed when dealing with the Black Dragon King, Tianyin might really have relaxed her guard under Heavenly Father’s mild attitude.

However…

The gentler Heavenly Father acted now, the more inexplicably tense Tianyin felt inside.

“Mm, I am indeed the leader of Dawn… but that really is nothing worth mentioning before you…”

She still had to be polite. After being trained by Sister Xiaomu for such a long time, Tianyin at least understood a tiny bit about how to get along with people.

“You don’t have to be so polite… but as the leader of such a grand faction, suddenly coming to Inferno to look for my daughter, you must have some reason, right?”

“The reason… mm, because of certain circumstances, I want your daughter to help me save someone…”

It sounded a bit forced, but it was the plain truth.

“Mm… save someone?”

Heavenly Father paused for a moment.

He looked doubtfully toward Lucifa, who was standing to the side, but in response all he got was an adorable eye roll from Lucifa.

Come to think of it, it was quite interesting. Lucifa, who put on a frail, submissive act in front of everyone else, was stiff backed and defiant in front of this dignified Throne, the leader of the Sanctuary, Heavenly Father.

“You want to save someone?”

“Hmph!”

Honestly, there were not many people present right now, but Tianyin, who was watching this father and daughter conflict between Heavenly Father and Lucifa head on, only felt that it was very strange.

“Alright, saving someone is saving someone. That is not something I can interfere with anyway, but I still want to ask, who exactly is the person you want my daughter to save?”

As a father, wanting to understand the reason behind things was completely normal, and Tianyin could understand that.

However, right after Heavenly Father asked his question, Lucifa, standing off to the side, puffed up her little cheeks in anger.

“Go away! I don’t want you meddling in my business!”

Mm… speaking so smoothly, without any trace of stuttering… and she did not bite her tongue either?

Tianyin felt that what she was focusing on had drifted a bit off the proper track.

Being so openly rejected by his own daughter, Heavenly Father rarely showed an awkward expression on his face.

“How could I not meddle… I just want to understand the situation a little more clearly…”

“I said no, no, no! Hurry up and go back!”

“alright, alright, I will go back once I have asked clearly… don’t be angry, all right…”

The Heavenly Father who had seemed unfathomable, overwhelmingly strong, in complete control of everything and radiating the dignity of one in the highest position just a while ago… at this moment looked exactly like the most ordinary old father trying to win his daughter’s favor.

『Wait, Samael… could Heavenly Father be that legendary daughter-con type?』

That powerful sense of déjà vu gave Tianyin this strong illusion.

「Mm… in many ways… he really does seem like a full on daughter-con…」

Samael seemed to agree quite a lot.

While the two of them were thinking about this.

Heavenly Father finally managed to “talk Lucifa around”.

“Then once you have asked clearly, you are going back, got it?!”

After huffing out this line, Lucifa pushed the door open with Mihiel and left.

“That must have been an embarrassing sight for you…”

Tianyin, an outsider, had watched the whole family conflict. After only Tianyin and the angels Heavenly Father had brought with him were left in the room, a somewhat helpless look appeared on Heavenly Father’s face.

“It is fine… though it does look like things are not easy for you either…”

“Not easy? It is embarrassing to say, but Lucifa running away from home to Inferno, at the root of it all, was my own fault.”

So she really had run away from home!

Tianyin grumbled inwardly, feeling rather drained.

Of course, grumbling was one thing. Tianyin would not actually voice these discourteous thoughts on her face.

“Lucifa turned out like this because when she was still little, I focused too much on chasing after that vague and elusive power and neglected her… even though I really want to make up for it now, it looks like there is no chance anymore…”

As a leader, there was no doubt at all. To have developed the Sanctuary into something so powerful, Heavenly Father was a qualified leader.

But as a father, this qualified leader did not seem very qualified.

“Alright, now is not the time to talk about that. Back to the main topic. You, as the leader of Dawn, want to take my daughter away to save someone. I could actually choose not to interfere in this matter, and my daughter does not want me to meddle in it either, but whether emotionally or logically, I still need to know the details of this situation clearly, so I hope you can understand.”

“Mm… I understand.”

Tianyin indicated she understood Heavenly Father’s words, and nodded in agreement.

“That is good… then, the person you need my daughter to save, what kind of person is she?”

“What kind of person… mm, for me she is someone extremely important, and because of certain reasons, she is now on the brink of death, so I want to save her…”

Speaking of serious matters, Tianyin’s tone was very sincere.

“Someone important… mm, it seems you are a child who values feelings and loyalty, not bad.”

Heavenly Father nodded in satisfaction at Tianyin’s answer.

“Of course, I can’t judge your character with just a single line, but for now, the feeling you give me is that of a child worthy of trust.”

She was a little grateful for Heavenly Father’s praise.

However… “good child” and so on… could he maybe show a bit of respect for her? She was the leader of Dawn, you know!

“Alright… With what I have asked so far, I feel there is nothing more I need to ask. I can choose to trust you, and of course this is also based on my own experience judging people over a million years.”

Heavenly Father’s expression turned a bit more serious.

“Since my daughter insists on going with you, even though she does not want me to meddle in this matter, as her father, I still have conditions.”

Hm? Wait… why did this feel so much like that scene where a father entrusts his daughter to someone?

Was it just her imagination?

Tianyin felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The next second, Heavenly Father’s rather serious voice slowly sounded.

“First, my daughter possesses the Pride of the Seven Original Sins. I don’t know how you came to possess the other powers of Original Sin, but I hope you will not harbor any schemes toward the power of Pride.”

“Second, after my daughter joins your faction… I hope you… will do everything in your power to never let her return to this rotten place Inferno again!”
