The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

When Linci entered the room where her mother was staying, the servants there instantly became fearful.

But Linci didn't look at them and just stopped two meters away from the bed of her mother.

Her mother was sitting on the bed with confusion as her mind was still in a blank state. After all, she had been unconscious for so many years.

Linci had tears in her eyes as she looked at her mother. She was happy but she was also anxious because she was afraid that her mother wouldn't recognize her. After all, the first and last time Linci met her was when she was just a year old baby, and all this time, her soul was affected by Netherly frost.

Linci slowly walked towards her with anxious footsteps. Elena's gaze also turned to Linci as the confusion in her eyes intensified for a moment. But only for a moment as she felt very familiar with the young lady in front of her. Suddenly, something clicked in her mind as tears appeared in her eyes.

Her gaze turned gentle as she softly said with a smile, "oh my. The little girl has become so big now."

"Mother!" Linci dashed forward to hug her with tears streaming down her cheeks.

But seeing that, the servants instantly panicked.

They saw Master Crow appearing in the room, but...the servants were confused because he just stood there and didn't stop Linci...well, not that he could if he tried, but still, they were confused as to why he didn't say anything.

"My dear, why are you crying so much?"

Everyone looked at Linci as she tightly hugged Elena while crying her heart out.

"M-mo-*sniff* mother..."

Tears continued to stream down Linci's face. All the grievances she felt in this house since she was small were leaving through her loud crying as she kept calling out her mother and saying sorry to her while hugging her tightly.

Athan walked into the room with Dean Lenix as well. Dean Lenix stopped at the corner, but Athan walked beside Linci's father and softly spoke, "what do you see in that girl? A monster? A devil? A disaster?"

Linci's father clenched his fists as he looked at his daughter and his wife.

"Can you see the pain and grievances you gave her since she was a child now? or are you still blind?" Athan continued.

"The love you have for your wife and her situation blinded you so much that you inflicted so much pain to flesh and blood of your wife, your daughter. Do you realize that now or not?" Athan continued before he sighed.

"Brother Gaarshil! I heard th-....Linci? wh-what's going on?" A middle-aged man suddenly entered the room and called out to Linci's father, Gaarshil. But he was startled and shocked at the situation in the room.

On the other hand, Gaarshil's body shook, and his eyes trembled at every word of Athan and the cries of Linci as they were stabbing him like a knife to his heart.

He could feel the emotions of Linci that she was letting out now, which he had ignored all this time. He had refused to see his own daughter right after she was born and had ignored her entirely as he put all of his focus and effort on saving Elena. However, a flood of regret was washing over him right now.

"Daughter...," Gaarshil muttered, but suddenly, he felt killing intent from beside him as he turned to look at Athan and saw his cold eyes looking straight at him.

"You...do realize that you have no right to call her your daughter...right? Stupid old man," Athan spoke icily.

Gaarshil's body shook as he turned his face to the mother and daughter. A single tear rolled down his cheek before he clenched his fist tightly and disappeared.

"Brother Gaarshil?" Benil muttered before he looked at Athan and frowned. He didn't know who this kid was and why did have the guts to speak such things to Gaarshil. However...he also had no choice but to agree with Athan.

All of them feared Linci and treated her like a cursed child. But now...as they looked at Linci hugging her mother while not a single ounce of her berserk power left her body, they were both shocked and relieved.

He also left the hall and went after Gaarshil.

Athan swept his glance at the servants before speaking, "Everyone, out."

After saying that, he left the room as Dean Lenix also followed him.

The four maids and two butlers were dumbfounded and wondered why that stranger was giving orders to them, but...they obeyed it and left the room as well, leaving the mother and daughter alone. After all, they were affected by Linci's cries as well.

Elena was also shedding more tears as she caressed Linci's back while tightly hugging her.

Even though she didn't know what happened while she was unconscious, She could understand everything from the heartbreaking cries of Linci that were filled with pain, grievance, a hint of despair, and relief as Linci continuously apologized to her.

"I am fine now, dear. I am very much fine now," Elana's voice cracked as she said. The intense emotion of her daughter affected her as she felt a lump in her throat.

...

Linci eventually fell into sleep in her mother's embrace. Elena put Linci on her lap and carefully looked at her now-grown daughter with a gentle smile on her face while caressing her head.

Linci had the best sweet smile on her face while she was sleeping. She was relishing in all the love she had missed since she was a child on her mother's lap.

"Linci...just what did you experience until now that made you cry like that?" Elena spoke with a saddening voice while her eyes shone with a cold light.

She would never forgive the ones who put her daughter in such misery.

...

Gaarshil was in another room as he just sat blankly on a couch while gazing at the outside world through the window. The outside was dark and filled with colorful, chaotic waves and stars.

The flood of regret washing over him as he watched his daughter carefully for the first time made him realize the huge mistake he had made.

"Brother....," Benil arrived in the room and sighed as he saw his brother's state.
