Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 799 Teach him a lesson

Count Amboise looked at me with a complicated look before saying, "It's hard when one of your children is too capable."

I was surprised to hear this since this certainly wasn't what I had been expecting to hear.

After all, isn't it a good thing if one's child was capable?

Count Amboise then said with a sigh, "Since one of them was too capable, I couldn't help spoiling the other to feel normal. I know that this isn't the right thing to do, but I just couldn't help myself…"

My brows slightly knitted when I heard this as I was confused what he meant by this.

Especially the part that he said about feeling normal.

What did he mean by that?

But it didn't seem like he was going to say anything, so I asked, "What do you mean by this? They are still your children, is there anything wrong with that?"

The only thing that I could think of was that he might think that Rose wasn't his child. If she was too capable, then perhaps he might think that she was the spawn of someone else because of how bad the brother was.

It turned out that this wasn't the case.

Count Amboise shook his head, but he still didn't say anything.

It was almost as if there was something that he was hesitating to say.

In the end, he still looked at me and said, "There's nothing wrong with her, I know that she's my child. It's just that from time to time, I can tell that there's something different about her. There's something that's hidden deep inside of her and it's that part of her that scares me."

I was surprised to hear this, but it wasn't as if I couldn't understand what he meant by this.

After all, I had seen that part of Rose before.

I thought that it was only because of the curse that her husband put on her that she acted that way, but it might not be the case at all.

It might be that there was this part of her all along and that curse just amplified it to the point where it came out. That might also be the reason why she was acting the way that she was now.

After amplifying it, that part of her had become a natural part of her that came out from time to time.

Seeing the way that my eyes changed, it seemed like Count Amboise felt like he had met someone that could understand what he was thinking. It really seemed like he saw me as some kind of comrade in understanding what was wrong with his daughter.

But I didn't want to give him that impression.

I didn't want him to think that I thought that there was something wrong with Rose.

After all, in my mind, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

Even if she did act a bit strange from time to time, this was just who she was.

I was more disappointed in Count Amboise as a parent because of this.

After all, a parent should be someone that cares about their child regardless of how they were. It was the job of the parent to guide them on their path and choosing to run away from that was letting their child down.

So there was no way that Count Amboise could count as a parent in my mind.

In the end, I slapped my hand down on the table and said in a cold voice, "You were too afraid to try to be a good parent, you have no one to blame but yourself."

Count Amboise was taken aback when he heard this, but he slowly gave a nod and looked down with an embarrassed look on his face.

There was nothing that he could say to refute this.

In fact, he even wanted someone to say this to him since he knew in his heart that this was the case.

I didn't say a thing as I just watched him like this, but eventually I said with a sigh, "Putting that matter aside, there's something that I want to say."

Count Amboise was pulled out of his daze and looked up at me with a surprised and confused look.

Seeing him look at me like this, I said, "I want to teach him a lesson."

Count Amboise was even more surprised, but he was no longer confused.

It wasn't hard for him to understand what I meant by this, but it was a bit hard for him to accept this since this was the child that he had pampered all this time. Even if he had been called out on it, it wasn't as if it was that easy for him to change.

This was something that had been embedded in him over a long period of time, so it wasn't as if he could change as he wanted.

Count Amboise just looked at me with a complicated look, but I looked back at him with a stern look.

In a sense, this was my way of judging to see if he was someone that was worthy of continuing to associate with.

If he failed, I might even consider getting rid of him just for Rose's sake.

I know that it would make her sad if her parents were to disappear, but…in the long run, it would be for the better. After all, the longer that this kind of parent remained, the more pain that it would cause her.

So even if it meant becoming a martyr, I was willing to do this for her.

Count Amboise's expression changed several times, but the complicated look on his face remained constant.

But in the end, he said with a sigh, "I hope that you will show mercy."

I gave a nod, but there was a part of me that didn't really want to listen to this.

After all, that idiot son of his had crossed a line.

He looked at another man's wife with eyes that he shouldn't have.
