"Ungrateful bastard," he thought, gritting his teeth. "Everything I did for him, and this is how he repays me?" His eyes narrowed as he glanced at his daughter, who had remained silent for the better part of the journey.
"I hope she ruins him," he muttered under his breath, the bitterness bubbling up once more. "I hope that little wench makes him weak and useless."
How could Cain do this to him? He literally brought him up, sacrificed his life for him, and he threw him out of Vehiron without hesitation. That too because of some servant.
