"Is that so? Then I'm sorry for him and his daughters." The old man shook his head negatively and regretted it.
As much as he had no proof that these people were his relatives, he had no reason to question anyone's death, let alone appreciate it.
This man's brother had left out of passion in search of the woman he loved so that one day he could return and have a family of his own. But somehow, his journey had gone wrong, and he had died months after leaving Chilldale.
He had not been banished or estranged from the family. He had simply gone on a journey and not returned. The people of this house had no reason to hate him, and this man couldn't help but be interested in the situation of those relatives who might be alone in this world.
