Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 257
Chapter 257
‘I, like Tristan.’
She had developed feelings for him. Perhaps to the extent of facing death that was soon to come calmly.
In reality, it was Sabina herself who couldn’t act rationally. Whether objectively or subjectively, she is a fool who threw her life away for mere emotions…
Anyone would think that way.
“Fine. I won’t deny it anymore.”
Aware of her own feelings, Sabina neatly organized her thoughts.
“Break off the engagement.”
“….What?”
Tristan seemed to momentarily hold his breath, as if he didn’t expect a positive answer.
“Since we’ve already made separate wedding arrangements, we can proceed as planned.”
A lavish, glamorous and peaceful death.
Sabina murmured.
“Right, that kind of death isn’t so bad either.”
She chose a better death than dying miserably without anything. At least she could depart having enjoyed wealth, power, and love.
After all, everyone dies eventually.
If one lives without regrets when the end comes, the length of life doesn’t really matter.
“You’re getting married?”
“Why are you surprised?”
No, judging from the flow of the conversation just now, couldn’t he tell?
Sabina asked incredulously.
“Attracted to me and becoming Valentine are different issues.”
“How are they different?”
“I can’t let you die.”
When did he ask to die together….
Tristan, who had become sincere to Sabina, was saying something completely different from back then.
“It’s noisy.”
She retorted coldly.
It seemed like revenge for telling that her heartbeat was noisy.
“So were you planning to exchange love letters without getting married?”
If that were the case, she wouldn’t have come to the bedroom of another man in the middle of the night.
“You said I was your hope.”
You said you would follow my dreams and will.
Sabina stared at him and spoke firmly.
“If that’s the case, then even if it’s fleeting, believe in it.”
“….”
“Accept the hypocrisy willingly.”
Having already made up her decision in her heart, she seemed stronger than ever.
“And it seems like you think of yourself as a kind of hell reaper to me…”
Sabina thought the same. Until she acknowledged the feelings she had for him.
But now, it meant something different.
“If it means protecting the world and redeeming you, I’m willing to burn my soul.”
Yes, if that was the goal…
Sabina was willing to dedicate everything she had.
She would embrace him and burn brightly. Towards a short but intense end.
“Remarkable and grand.”
Especially since no one would understand, it was particularly so.
Sabina added with a smile. It was a smile that was like that of a young child dreaming of saving the world.
“Heroes are supposed to be like that.”
Tristan silently looked down at her.
This woman felt more lovely than anything else. And so, he felt more afraid than ever.
Could he endure the moment when Sabina meets her end?
Until when could he keep himself from going mad…
However, the thought didn’t last long.
“Wait, your expression seems to have changed… Uhp!”
Tristan grabbed her cheek and urgently lowered his head. And he kissed her as if devouring her whole.
Like a person drowning in water. Like he would suffocate and die if she wasn’t there.
Sabina, who had been stiff for a moment, immediately wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed her. Like she was clinging to him.
And she pulled him close with all her strength.
“Now, this time the ending is perfect, right?”
Aria, who had been listening to the story absentmindedly, regained her senses at those words.
It was suddenly reality.
She winced at her flushed cheeks and retorted in a grumbling tone.
“What about the wedding?”
It was a voice tinged with disappointment.
She had become so immersed without realizing it, perhaps because Sabina and Tristan’s marriage process was more eventful than she had expected.
“Who would want to hear such a boring story?”
“Me!”
Aria retorted urgently.
She needed an epilogue to this story.
‘And they lived happily ever after,’ or something like that.
But Aria knew the ending of this story.
– Back when the head of the family was born, no one could smile. The atmosphere in the castle was so icy that they couldn’t breathe properly
The story that would follow would depict the descent into darkness and the journey toward death.
“I’m sorry, but there isn’t much that stands out in my memory.”
Sabina scratched her cheek awkwardly as she spoke.
“I can still vividly recall the emotions from the wedding. It felt like all the deficiencies I didn’t know I had were fulfilled.”
Sabina said regretfully that the rest was hazy in her memory.
“…Isn’t that enough?”
That’s the epilogue, after all.
Just hearing those words, she could imagine how happy Sabina must have been in those days. Even if the issue of Valentine’s malice wasn’t entirely resolved.
Aria had an inkling of the end of this story.
“Actually, I need to hear the story that follows.”
The story that concludes after the ‘And they lived happily ever after.’
After all, wasn’t the reason Aria came to find Sabina was to hear the story from that time?
She had asked for of the time when Sabina first arrived at the Grand Duke’s castle out of pure curiosity.
“I don’t know much about Lloyd’s childhood. Of course, I can make some guesses, but…”
He was a child who had contemplated dying along with God’s malice.
At the mere age of five, Lloyd chose sacrifice and death.
He never considered his birth a blessing, so he didn’t even bother to celebrate his birthday.
‘He didn’t try to get anything, didn’t want anything. He didn’t try to give meaning to his life either.’
Of course, Aria appearing had made a mess of his choices.
He piled greed upon sacrifice and pulled it from death to lead it into the light.
“I want to hear the details.”
Aria said with determination.
