But this guy fight headstrongly against the World for his wife and his little princess. It's just that, when his father proposed Aelin and Ashoka's marriage. At that time, he misunderstood Ashoka as good and humble guy. Agreeing with his father for the better of his beloved princess's life.
But! Alas! There is no medicine of regret. He thought, it's just because his daughter doesn't like Ashoka, so she used to made up the stories of Ashoka. But.. Now… only if he had love her and protect her the way he did to his lovely wife. Then, maybe Aelin would have been happy, even after her death.
