Twelve years ago, Earl Asa Slate's greed ruined his life. During a trip to his pregnant wife's hometown, she prematurely started labor, and the birth threatened her life. Asa should have chosen who lived and died, the love of his life or an innocent child. Instead, he fled from the decision and rushed the woman to Duke Bont, a man so cruel he earned the moniker The Demon's Wrath. Asa wanted to save both his wife and unborn child, no matter the cost. He felt benevolent greed drove his decision. He was naive. The Demon's Wrath failed to save Kari and then took the newborn hostage to extort Asa for his status enhancing fruit. This special item bolsters an imbiber's powers. With the help of a scholar named William North, Asa slowly rebuilt his life. Over the years, he overcame his depression, remarried, and started raising his new stepdaughters. However, he never forgot his missing child or his deceased wife. Twelve years after the abduction, his mother-in-law, Marchioness Crystal Bruno, fulfills her promise and provides Asa leverage to get his child back. The story begins just before Asa meets with Duke Bont to exchange his nephew's gambling chit for the young hostage. Come and read this emotional story of a man who failed to save those he loves and his struggles to help his maligned offspring. The narrative takes place in the backdrop of gods, powerful relics with extraordinary powers, and a cut-throat political hierarchy. The title, Cinderella's Father, comes from the popular Cinderella-esque webcomics and light novels. This is not a direct take on the Cinderella story.
