Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 270

Chapter 270

“From the moment you open your eyes to when you fall asleep, stay by my side, be together wherever I go, tell me what you’re thinking, let me know how you feel…”

Lloyd shamelessly spoke.

He was twisting his own obsession with Aria and imposing it all on the child.

“Okay. I won’t do that again.”

She looked at Lloyd feeling like a fraudster, then sighed and patted his back.

She didn’t even seem to keep the promise with Luca, to scold Noah’s descendant.

“It might be hard to come up with a name suddenly. How about Baby Dragon?”

“Baby Dragon?”

“It sounds a bit childish.”

She saw a baby dragon in a dream.

Aria whispered with a sweet voice, as if in love, and smiled softly.

“At first, I thought the dragon in the dream was Luca, but it wasn’t. When I looked closely, it was a baby with the same eye color as mine.”

Luca’s small anxiety started to grow rapidly like a snowball.

The same dragon, but eyes resembling Aria.

Even if it was a dragon in her dream, in reality it would be a lovely baby that resembles Aria.

‘I’ll be abandoned.’

It was going to be cast away.

No matter how much Aria loved the dragon she picked up from the cave, it would be a shallow interest compared to the fruit of love between someone she loved.

‘It appeared as a dragon in Aria’s dream to take away my place.’

What to do now? Really, what should it do?

‘Get rid of the child immediately…’

Yes, it should get rid of it.

‘As soon as possible.’

The moment Luca came to this conclusion.

Aria, who had been chatting with Lloyd, suddenly turned her head. And she stared precisely at the dragon outside the window.

“Luca?”

A voice that seemed to ask why it was here. A surprised and bewildered look mixed with confusion.

Luca realized it simultaneously. It was thoroughly an outsider.

It left the spot as if running away.

Lloyd said to Aria.

The child will like the name she gave.

‘I know, so do I.’

Luca knew best.

The dragon huddled down, immersed in remorse.

“You became my person… No, my dragon. I can’t just call you ‘baby dragon’ forever.”

One day, Aria said.

“How about Luca? It seems like a name that suits you.”

At that time, she was standing by the window.

There was a memory of her wrinkling her eyes in the summer sunlight pouring through the window.

But no matter how brightly it shone, it couldn’t be warmer than her smile.

“Do you like it?”

The dragon, no, Luca, would never forget that moment.

The moment it was given a name for the first time.

It could finally exist in this world as an individual.

Did Aria know that Luca had been fervently longing for what others naturally have at the moment of birth?

Luca nestled into Aria’s arms.

“It looks like you like it.”

Aria chuckled and hugged Luca tightly.

As time passed, Luca turned one this year.

So, is it really one year old?

‘If it has been one year, then I’m one year old.’

It’s been just over a year since Luca came out of the egg.

Even though it lived for a very long time in the egg.

A very, very long time.

In endless darkness.

Luca couldn’t determine how many years it had lived as an egg.

It was an eternal dragon that would never hatch. Unable to move a muscle while crouched in the egg.

“Child.”

The beginning of his memories was the murmuring voice of its dragon mother, who had gone mad and abandoned him.

“Protect and stay by Shardra’s side. You are the only one. You are the only hope. Only you can protect Shadra. Only you can protect God. Retrieve the feelings stolen from the humans by Shardra’s side. Protect it.”

The dragon that held Luca continued to murmur endlessly.

Truly, endlessly. As if that alone were her last remaining duty.

Luca continued to hear those words until his dragon mother decayed and even forgot the ability to speak.

‘I have to live to protect God. I have to retrieve the feelings God lost and protect it.’

Luca thought it was discarded even before being born.

‘So when can I go outside?’

Luca inherited the memories of his dragon mother.

Thanks to that, it could easily learn the language. Even without directly experiencing the world, it could roughly sense it.

Although it had never used divine abilities, it could vaguely grasp how they were used.

However, despite all that, it couldn’t go outside the egg.

‘I’ll die if I go outside.’

God who lost all the feelings began to forget even their own existence.

The influence spread thoroughly to the divine beings that had been guarding God.

Kiihkkk-!

As the divine beings remaining by the sleeping God’s side succumbed one by one, they began to deteriorate and corrupt.

Luca watched all their transformation, through it’s mother’s memories.

‘I’m scared. I don’t want to end up like that.’

The divine beings lost their unique beauty and graceful forms long ago. Their entire bodies were dyed black, and their bodies twisted into grotesque shapes.

Monsters.

Bizarre life forms that deviated from the order of the world. They were neither more nor less than that.

They, without ever dying in their lifetimes, crawled along the walls, making strange sounds.

Not even the dragons were exceptions.

Luca’s mother, before long, transformed into the same grotesque form as the other divine beings, crawling like an insect.

On the other hand, Luca, still in its egg state, remains unharmed.

It hadn’t been born yet, so it didn’t belong to the world.

However…

‘How much longer can I endure this?’
