Maybe he isn't that much of a deadbeat after all but, still doesn't excuse his behavior tho

 

[ianzerep]

I feel a bit more sympathetic after hearing that he was relegated to the north due to a binding deal.

I feel less when I remember he was able to come back with no apparent stipulations and never did beforehand, unless killing a dragon gave him some sort of excuse to return that circumvented whatever deal was struck.

 

[Ecroose]

Wasnt expecting the sudden genre swiych to BL

 

[Fushiginiku]

All ameliorating circumstances aside, whatever they may be and who they benefitted, he still failed as a father even upon return, by focusing so hard on teasing Mahen over the 'mom' thing that he barely acknowledged his daughter's existence. Or acknowledged the reason she viewed somebody else as her parent.

Thanks for the chapter!
Ah, it's the ol' 'hardworking parent that never sees their sick child because they're forced to work themselves to the bone' trope.
As much as his non-serious attitude is grating, I have a feeling that it's the sort of humour that's really more for coping, really.
I mean, his wife is long dead, his child is terminally ill and he's been most likely coerced by what seems to be the Imperial family into some shady deal for medicine for his dying child.

So not only the dad is trash, but also the emperor and empress. Burn the kingdom down and kill the royal family, at least that would be a first step to making it up to your daughter.
