I became the daughter of the gay male lead.

The Place went silent as Aaron walked through. Eyes were watching us both. I was still in Aarons's hands. I frowned watching the death eyes of others. Like we were prey. I stared back at Maki who nodded.

[Dont worry i would protect you.]

I nodded.

The coronation started. It was basically a wedding and anoucing the names of the new family except it was us. I watched Dad frown staring at Aaron who stared at him.

'I would never get Aarons intentions to my Dad.'

I turned to Maki who sighed.

[Remember how i told you we were the only ones who could change fate. There are some people who are aware of thier fate but cant do anything to change it. Thats Aaron.

The day i tried saving Rohan. I witnessed Aaron crying to the Alters of the Gods begging them to let him live as human and to stop doing the things he does. But there was no response as that was his fate. To be evil. Aaron is 100 percent aware of what he is doing but can not bring himself to stop.]

I stared at Aaron whose face remained stagnant.

[He is only behaving this way due to your determination to change the plot. Everyone around you gets affected and thier fate changes. Just like me thats why i was bounded to an amulet as per punishment from the Gods.  Yet now he cant apologize to both of you because you have already suffered by him and he knows. I am not saying you should forgive him of course. If i hadnt explained he would have been a monster in your eyes. But the main focus are the Gods.]

'All this new information.'

I frowned staring intensely at the floor. Could it mean all this time Aaron never wanted any of this? But if its like that it changes everything. No no no. It cant be. But it all sounds true. If Aaron was really manipulated to do this does it mean my main goal is the Gods in order to protect father?

[you can ask Aaron after the ceremony. I think you both need to chat.]

Everyone clapped as father and Aaron joined hands together. I watched as Aarons eyes never left father. As i looked closely i thought i could see guilt in his eyes.

"Today I announce the additon of Rohan centrigal as Rohan Abastior the 500th concubine of The King Aaron Abastior. And thier daughter. The last princess of Abastior  Abigail Charlotte Abastior."

I was called up to the podium and there were sounds of claps heading everywhere. My mind could only focus on the words spoken by Maki.

If all she said was true, father was in huge danger. But if it wasnt could Maki be a threat? In most book i read the author was always the villain.

I stared at her as she waved.

.....

"Congratulations princess."

"Congratulations your highness."

We were congratulated left and right. Up and down. Everyone seemed to speak highly of us. Father nodded replying them all back but the looks of hostility gave it all away. But for some reason we never saw any try to attack us.

I stared at Aaron whose eyes were still on Father who was now talking with some of the concubines. Unfortunately for them they were getting cooked by Dad. He used to be a man who had a harem of girls. Of course he would have known of thier advances to him.

I walked up to Aaron bringing out my hands. He looked confused taking me up and placing me on his laps. I stared at him again frowning.

"I dont like you but i am willing to listen to your excuses and know what i am going to do going forward."

Because if what Maki said was true. Then it would be unfair for me to be angry at someone for something they didnt want to do and regrets it because its only now they were put out of thier misery. If it was true then all my anger would be directed to the gods  in an instant.

"Do not lie."

He nodded. For some reasons he seemed different.

He explained. That during the times he did what he did. He wasnt in control of his body and regretted it each time he went to sleep. But no matter what he wanted to say or do he was control. It pained him and had always been like that since he was younger. he aroused hate from multitudes of people for it but it never fazed him. The day he met Rohan. His behaviour started to get more agressive and he couldnt stop it. Yet for some reason He was never hated. Rohan never hated him. That was the time he felt love. It hurt him so much but he couldnt do anything. Nothing.

"I know you wont believe me. But its all true till the day you destroyed the monsters."

He broke free of the spell. He searched everyhere for an answer the next day and sought nothing. But he noticed the futher he is from me the harder it got to control himself so we were placed close to him. Not only that but he wanted to do as much as he could to make it up for rohan. Till in the dining. Where he apologized.

"I admit it wasnt the best apology but i meant it. I liked being evil to people but seeing Rohan suffer was horrid on me. Plus my daughter who came from him hated me and worse the moment rohan was pregnant my behaviours got even more aggressive as to kill the child in his belly. "

He had whole heartedly believed i would have forgotten by the time he learnt a bit control on his actions. Now he sits knowing Rohan despises him and would one day leave him. Yet cant do anything about it.

My legs trembled at the story. It didnt make sense. Why were they so admant about father suffering so much and me not being born.
