I Tamed the Male Lead's Father prologue

chapter 3

Papa? Did calling him “Papa” work?

I blinked in wonder.

He didn’t respond further, only silently trudged on. Every time he took a step, the snow that covered the field gently melted away.

Of course, it wasn’t just the snow that melted. The luxuriant trees in the forest also burned up in seconds.

My eyes widened as I watched them turn into ash.

If this continues, all the trees will burn and this place will become like Mingdun mountain!

(T/N: Mingdun mountain is a mountain in South Korea where there are no trees, and so bare soil is exposed.)

Even so, he didn’t seem to care at all.

Seeing how indifferent he was to the environment around him, I began to wonder if the brightly burning trees in front of me were simply illusions.

But it seemed like it wasn’t just me hallucinating. The people behind him were shuffling their feet nervously, with eyes as wide as mine.

“M-Master!”

A few panicked and called out to him, but he paid no attention and continued to make his way across the field.

All the while, the trees that stood tall in the forest flickered with flames.

I began to think that at this rate, all nature here would be destroyed, so I grabbed onto his coat and tugged. He paused, quietly lowering his gaze to look at me.

His calm, steady eyes stared at me in silence, seeming to ask what the issue was.

I stretched my arms, pointing at the trees.

“Papapa!”

“Papa?”

“Papapa!”

It hurts! The trees are hurting!

But his expression held no signs of understanding. Seeing that, I started to feel dejected.

Why can’t I call my papa, ‘papa’?

I thrashed and struggled in frustration. He turned to face the trees, still not understanding why I was acting like this. He lifted his chin, gazing at the distant horizon, before nodding his head, as if he had come to a conclusion.

“Are you saying your dad went over there?”

“Pa?”

“If not, are you a tree spirit?”

“Pa?”
