Chapter 617: The Past Told by Shazaman

Dunyarzad and her father have a very good relationship, so she also hopes that Dehya can ease her relationship with her father—she doesn't want to see Dehya and her father confront each other with weapons.

But she is a very understanding person—she won't stop Dehya's choice, only do her best to help.

But unexpectedly, now the one needing help has become herself—if her father really did evil, how should she face her father?

How to face? Dunyarzad's gaze gradually firmed—if her father really did evil, no matter what, she must persuade him, make him come to his senses!

In the story, Dehya reported the discovered intelligence to Dunyarzad, and Dunyarzad smoothly stated her own guess.

Previously, Dunyarzad hadn't thought about why her bodyguard was Dehya, but after learning this intelligence, she had a guess.

Could it be that her father has been connected to "Dakan al-Ahmar" from long ago?

[Dunyarzad said: "No matter what the reason behind it is, if my father is really funding evil people, I should make him come to his senses as soon as possible."]

Shazaman was naturally reading the book—he doesn't usually read prophecy books much, but stories about his daughter and "goddaughter," he definitely has to read.

Now seeing this section, not only no dissatisfaction in his heart, but some gratification.

My daughter has grown up—hahaha, everyone quickly look, how upright my daughter is!

Just thinking that all of Teyvat can see his daughter's excellence, Shazaman felt proud.

As for the misunderstanding about himself, he didn't care at all—misunderstandings from information gaps are normal, moreover, he himself thought he was aiding tyranny.

It's just going to prison—what's that matter; still, his daughter's good performance makes him happier.

Instead, Dehya in the story was somewhat hesitant.

[Dehya probed: "Is this... really okay?"]

["My father committed so many atrocities—he deserves punishment. I don't sympathize with him at all; even if others say I'm unfilial, it's fine."]

She said her father did many evil deeds, no sympathy—at this time, readers unaware of the truth don't think much of it.

In the future, when these people recommend this story to others, they will crazily ask the other's thoughts at this section.

If the other agrees with Dehya's words, the ones who've read it will fall silent, holding back into "dragon face," waiting for the other to cry in regret after seeing the latter part, then laugh wildly.

But for now, on this point, Hu Tao can understand Dehya's thoughts—this is indeed a daughter's feeling toward her father; if wrong, naturally call him out.

Dehya can be like this to her own father, because that's her father.

But she can't be like this to Shazaman, because that's her benefactor, not family.

["The Homayani family not only gave me a particularly well-paid job but also took great care of me."]

["And the outcome of this matter might very well implicate the entire Homayani family—if so, wouldn't I be repaying kindness with enmity?"]

The readers can understand Dehya's hesitation—actually having this hesitation instead proves that in her heart, her father's position is far closer than others.

Because close, so when father errs, she must stop it—just like Dunyarzad's thoughts.

[Dunyarzad said: "It's okay, Dehya—just say it was me who asked you to do this."]

Dunyarzad indeed became Dehya's support as she said—when Dehya hesitated, immediately siding with Dehya.

[Dehya: "Don't be like that, miss—I'm not afraid of taking responsibility; moreover, the one suffering more now should be you."]

Dehya meant—she's not afraid of taking the blame, not afraid of being scolded for repaying kindness with enmity.

She's afraid that in the end, it will make Dunyarzad sad, because that's her father.

One can only say these two are truly going both ways—at critical moments, hearts toward each other—this is good besties.

Fortunately, Dunyarzad is a very strong girl, so she's not afraid to face these—she decides to invite her father out, personally ask him about related matters.

Shazaman smiled even happier—look, this is my daughter! She's really too great!

Daring to act, not dominated by emotions—when things happen, knows to ask and verify first—worthy of being my daughter!

In the story, Dunyarzad indeed brought her father out, and regarding the transaction list, Shazaman no longer hid it.

The reason he didn't tell Dehya about this matter wasn't for himself, but afraid of hurting Dehya.

This truth might very well turn Dehya's accumulations along the way to ashes, turn Kusayla's efforts to bubbles.

[Dehya puzzled: "His efforts? I don't quite understand, sir."]

["I've made my way here without enjoying even half a bit of care from that guy."]

In Dehya's view, ever since leaving Kusayla, she hasn't received any benefits from their troupe—even her current troupe was found by herself, fame earned by herself.

So Dehya's attitude was firm—she won't be shaken; she wants to know the truth.

Feeling Dehya's determination, Shazaman decided to tell the story of the past.

The real-world Shazaman was somewhat hesitant—he worried that the current Dehya wasn't prepared yet.

Have to say, Shazaman indeed already saw Dehya as his own child—at this moment, still more worried about Dehya's situation.

But regarding this, he needn't worry—Dehya is similarly a strong person.

She was seriously reading the story, waiting for Shazaman to tell the truth.

Shazaman told her—once, shortly after Dunyarzad was just born, he had gone to the desert.

There he was attacked by the Gilded Brigade—fortunately, someone saved him; yes, that person was Kusayla.

Kusayla saved Shazaman merely because he also had a daughter, about the same age as Dunyarzad.

At that time, Kusayla seemed to very much understand a father's feelings and responsibility, so he chose to save another father.

Then, after who knows how many years, Kusayla knocked on Shazaman's family door.

The Kusayla at that time was no longer the robust man of his youth—the sturdy fellow had become like a lamp running out of oil; this "twilight old man" even needed a cane to walk.

But Kusayla's smile was still cheerful—he came this time to recommend a bodyguard for Dunyarzad—Dehya.

He was beyond saving—deep in "Remnants of the God King," he was already an unforgivable bad person long ago, but his daughter still had salvation; he hoped his daughter could stay away from these.

Theoretically, Dunyarzad who almost never went out fundamentally didn't need a bodyguard—hiring Dehya was completely for Kusayla's sake.

But when Dehya really came to the Homayani family, Shazaman saw her as his own daughter.

On one hand, because she was the benefactor's daughter; on the other, also Dehya's excellence.
