I just think it was simply to "reassure" him, to kinda say "hey, if I have to protect her, I have the means to" (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ That's why the father says "to protect something dear, you sometimes have to be the cruelest" (or something like that )
There’s someone who wants to harm the duke, and they suspect they might go hurt Zay or her sister. Aseph captured one of their pawns.
Wait so why did Aseph show the father the underground dungeon? Was it like a threat or something? Or was there actually something Aseph wanted to show him?
