Don’t try to pretend to be someone you are not.
As a father I recognize lies more easily.

I don’t lie!

The girl is just an unfortunate mortal that is bound to me.
After I managed to free myself from self made prison.

Long story short.
Someone died precious to her.
And now I am honor bound to release his soul from the divine seal.

Unfortunately I lack the needed essence to change that.

Tell me was..
The important one… her father?
