The father is a piece of work! He treated his son like dirt, never had time for him, left him with the teacher who raised him, and tried to marry him off. However, when he thought this same son was dead, he sought to avenge his death. What is the truth behind his neglect? Is it simply the death of his wife made it hard to look at his son? Are did he blame the son for his mother's death?
On the other side you had another neglectful father, who killed his son's mother and neglect his son until he was really to kill or have him killed. Both fathers are similar and somewhat different. At least with the latter one, he did show love towards his son until he discovered his wife's secret. We never saw the other father show love until he tried to avenge his son' s death. Also, if you go back to the chapter where Haon tried to go into the high lord's quarter, we now know that it was his father who blocked his way. Was this an act of love?
