Jerome Bonaparte clenched his fist in nervousness. He admits that he had not been the best father to his children, but his duty called for his undivided attention. Jerome knew that ending Arcadia would also mean safety to his children's life and the next generation after. It was horror that they have to marry with the weight of the remains of the group on their shoulders. The thought of his children's future was what kept him going after years and years of running around, spying, and being undercover as a painter. In fact, he had done it, so days like this would be peaceful. It seems that he had failed again.

The unused father briefly looked down at his daughter's side profile and immediately thought of his wife. Mei Lin looked so much like Mu Lan that it almost hurt him to stare at her when she smiled because of their likeness.
