Bab 147: Rectification.

Calor looked at his son and said, "Tryst, have you not shamed us and the departed enough? Silence, I will not allow you to utter a single word." 

Tryst was raging and he did not wish to hear anyone say anything. He yelled at his father, "Old man, why do you stop me every time? Why?" 

Calor was surprised to see this and said, "I stop you because your repeated questioning will stain the character of the woman you loved. She spent her spare time talking to people in the town about the status of the child. She truly cared for him and even wanted to adopt him, I have the application letters she posted for me every year. Asking me to allow her but I was so engrossed in the research that I gave it no thought." 

Tryst shivered and wanted to say something when Valerian asked, "Did you love her?" 

The question made the man freeze, and he cast a gaze on the child. Then he said, "Yes."
