236 Death wish

⟦Wait… I thought you had taken away their right to call you Father?⟧ He raised his eyebrow.

Huh.

⟦⟦You know, I used to think that no one in this Universe could be more suicidal than me.⟧⟧

⟦And you would be absolutely right in thinking so.⟧

⟦⟦Well, that's what I USED to think, until I met you. I mean, you must be dying to die, right?⟧⟧

That's the only explanation that makes sense.

⟦…Ahem, I'm sorry about that, Sire. I'll keep my mouth in check next time.⟧

⟦⟦Please don't. It's been some time since I had a good battle, after all.⟧⟧

Everyone enjoys an all-out fight to the death every once in a while, don't they?

⟦…⟧

⟦⟦And to answer your question, I merely took away their right, not my status as their Father. So while they are no longer allowed to call me father, I can still refer to myself as such, because that's what I am.⟧⟧
