Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 268
Chapter 268
The child became a vessel capable of containing all of God’s feelings.
Perhaps it was all part of God’s plan.
Aria and Lloyd might have been nothing more than tools to create the perfect vessel for God.
“That….”
Aria was about to say something but closed her mouth.
“…I can’t just dismiss it as a pessimistic speculation when I hear it now.”
She continued to pat her husband’s head, who was still kneeling in front of her.
Considering the trauma Lloyd experienced in his childhood, it was only natural that he was worrying about it.
There had never been anyone who defied fate in the history of Valentine. It must have been difficult to find reassurance.
“But does that mean I should live even if it means sacrificing the child?”
It seemed like he considered sacrificing their bloodline as something natural, just like Valentine would say
‘Well, I’ve lived in that environment.’
While it was understandable, incorrect thoughts needed correction, right?
“We should first think about living together.”
Aria, who got angered again, glared. Of course, Lloyd had no room for excuses in this matter.
Instead of apologizing, he closed his eyes and rested his cheek on Aria’s knee.
“You’re right, Aria.”
With a face that seemed like it could even melt a cold-blooded heart. He appeared excessively dignified and obedient.
He had been a bit off since earlier…
It seemed that her avoiding him for a week had quite an impact. She was seeing a side of him that he usually didn’t show, more frequently today.
‘Perhaps occasionally avoiding him wouldn’t be such a bad idea.’
A cruel thought suddenly crossed her mind. It might be a heavenly punishment for Lloyd.
Aria comforted him with a touch on his long eyelashes, easing his regretful feelings.
“And I’m not a miracle worker.”
She added in a calm yet firm voice.
“A miracle implies something mysterious happening without one’s knowledge, but that’s not me. Everything was my will, my ability, and I was confident.”
Lloyd seemed ticklish, his eyelids trembled before lifting them.
“I know. How can I not know? You’re my salvation.”
The eyes that were hidden beneath the eyelids were dynamically blazing as if they could burn away everything hindering them.
Aria was surprised inside. Was that why he kept his eyes closed?
“While you were gone, I thought about living together like you said.”
“Ah, really?”
“Yes.”
He seemed to sincerely reflect on it and came to such an amazing conclusion by himself.
‘Well, he probably decorated this cute nursery with such a conclusion.’
Aria was genuinely curious.
“How?”
She doubted if there was a practical plan.
If, according to Lloyd, they were just tools for God and the child was merely a vessel.
If the miserable fate of Valentine and Siren that had been passed down from generation to generation was, in fact, only the cornerstone of making the vessel.
“How can we all live together?”
As Aria asked with anticipation, Lloyd whispered with a scraping tone.
“By killing.”
“Huh?”
“Killing God who has lost all feelings and cannot make judgments on its own isn’t a big deal.”
Aria couldn’t close her mouth.
Of course, they had often joked about whether to kill or spare God in their previous conversations. However, since the likelihood of it happening in reality was slim, it was considered a jest.
‘But now… Can we really kill God, as Lloyd suggests?’
There was a chance of victory. It wasn’t an entirely implausible assumption.
Certainly, the physical strength of God that governs the world was overwhelmingly powerful. However, the fatal point was that Lloyd and Aria possessed all God’s feelings.
“Ah.”
At that moment, Lloyd suddenly made a surprised sound.
“Was that a harsh thing for the child to hear?”
“The child can hear it?”
Aria questioned as if asking what he was talking about.
“It might be able to hear.”
“Does it have ears?”
“Probably not now, but maybe through sensation?”
After all, it was a child of a Siren. Lloyd added.
It sounded like nonsense, but for some reason, Aria thought it was plausible and whispered, lowering her voice.
“But isn’t there a high possibility of failing?”
“Then we should threaten the devil to cooperate or something.”
That would certainly increase their chances of success. But was that even acceptable?
“Didn’t you say Valentine was a descendant of God?”
At that, Lloyd, tilting his head for a moment, lifted the corners of his red lips.
At this moment, it was a smile that resembled Tristan’s.
“Valentine has a long history of immorality.”
“….”
“After sacrificing so much, and still getting asked for more or still trying to take everything from me, then, it’s time to die.”
Could killing God be replaced by the word ‘Valentine’?
But surely… It was the only way.
If God gave them the miracle only to take everything away from them, then…
‘I also don’t want to give up everything I’ve gained, my freedom, happiness, love, peace, and everyday life.”
“Sure, let’s do that.”
Aria willingly embraced his Valentine-like solution.
“I’ll destroy it.”
Around that time, Luca, driven out by Lloyd’s murderous intent, fluttered its small wings tirelessly and murmured sadly.
The lovely dragon, which had only twinkled its eyes and said ‘mya mya’ in front of Aria.
“That baby or something.”
Ever since it appeared in Aria’s belly, Luca had been completely pushed back.
Luca wasn’t pleased with the current situation, where he was pushed aside from her attention.
“Can it be… rid of?”
