Vanessa shook her head with a frustrated look, thinking that Talia pissed off Vadric even more.
Vadric felt as if his chest was caving in hearing Talia's question. But unlike what Vanessa was thinking, he wasn't angered by Talia's question. Instead, he once again realized the shame, guilt, and pain of having his son crucified because of him not being the father his son needed instead of being the one he wanted.
He never thought that his looking the other way whenever his son committed questionable deeds would come back to haunt him.
He knew it won't be just Talia, but every denizen of this realm would be asking questions like this even if they won't dare to say it aloud. Nonetheless, the end result was the same.
And the fact that he would have to end Mevron's life right before he could die from old age was like the final nail in the coffin.
