Seriously—why the hell was his daughter the only one who knew what Bella was thinking?
And more importantly, how the hell did Bella's damn romantic crisis become his business? Like he didn't already have the weight of Earth on his shoulders, interdimensional threats tapping at the door, and divine politics playing chess with his soul.
Now he had clingy teenage drama to deal with? Fucking perfect.
And it wasn't like Nyxavere was activating some flashy mind-reading technique or divine spell. Nah. That would've been too easy to blame. The girl was an Omniscient. She just knew. Like breathing. Like existing. She could literally hear the silent screams of awkward crushes and romantic delusions from across a damn continent if she tried.
That's why he couldn't read Bella's mind even though he had all the powers his daughter had.
"Can you back to the Palace, go throw that whole love thingy to Julian, alright?"
