Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 271
Chapter 271
A hundred years? Two hundred years?
No matter how long he endured, eventually…
‘I’ll end up like that someday too.’
Luca trembled with anxiety every day.
It would have been better if he couldn’t see, feel, or think at all.
Just as he saw in his mother’s memories, he, too, would become a monster with his entire skin rotting black and his bones twisted while crawling along the wall.
When he was born.
‘To avoid becoming like that, I have to exist only in the egg for a lifetime.’
He must not be born.
He must not belong to God’s world.
Of course, there was a way for God to find the feelings and awaken him, just as he saw in his mother’s memories.
But what could he possibly do in his mere egg state?
‘How much time has passed?’
It felt like an unimaginable amount of time had passed.
Curled up inside the egg, Luca, unable to become anything, continued to explore his mother’s memories.
He escaped into that world.
At least a thousand years passed in that state.
Only after coming out of the egg did he learn about the events of 1500 years ago when Shadra was manipulated by humans and lost all feelings.
Based on his mother’s memories, he had existed in the egg for over a thousand years.
‘I’d rather you take me out. Instead of living as a meaningless egg for a lifetime, I’d rather become a crazy monster.’
He pleaded like that for centuries.
Should he break the egg, tear open his mother’s belly, and come out? He contemplated that thousands of times.
But he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
‘I must live and stay by God’s side. I have to recover the stolen feelings and protect her.’
Because of the cursed duty his mother left behind.
Because of her terrible desperation, muttering that endlessly while she lost her rationality.
After a thousand years like that.
Do you know it well?
to be there with you, O, my beloved one!
It’s there I’d be gone,
He finally heard the angelic singing.
The voice of paradise he had longed for, filled with the divine energy and grace.
In the end, Luca could step out into the world.
Not as a monster but as a healthy dragon.
“Myamya
Finally, I was born! He shouted with all his might.
Anything in front of his eyes.
Even the most wretched thing in the world.
He wanted to love it intensely.
And before Luca, who yearned for such love, there was Aria.
He recognized her at once.
The owner of that song.
‘How could I not fall in love?’
His savior who led him to paradise.
Luca could dedicate his entire life to Aria.
“Mya!”
He reverently kissed Aria’s cheek.
He would serve by her side forever.
“Are you hungry?”
Aria seemed to misunderstand his intention.
But it didn’t matter.
Anyway.
With all those processes, the dragon turned one year old.
So, he was officially one year old.
An infant who had endured an excessively long time in the darkness.
“I’m a baby!”
“Why are you confidently shouting that alone?”
Luca turned around in surprise.
When he looked back, Vincent stood there with a puzzled expression and crossed arms.
He tilted his head and said.
“At this point where you’re convincing yourself that you’re a baby, shouldn’t you realize that you’re already far from being one?”
“I didn’t convince myself! It’s a confident statement!”
“Wow, a baby who knows words like ‘convince’ and ‘statement’.”
Vincent exclaimed with exaggerated applause.
“Better than a fifteen-year-old Cloud?”
At this, Cloud, who was following behind Vincent, stared at him sharply.
His expression seemed to say that he had already received a beating masked as training from Lloyd, and now he’s getting verbally beaten too?
‘That unlucky person…’
Luca didn’t like Vincent.
Of course, there was the reason for being Noah’s descendant.
But he disliked him even more because he was excessively quick-witted and had a sharp mind.
Vincent was the first to see that Luca’s mental age was higher than expected.
“Sister-in-law is looking for you.”
“Aria is looking for me?”
Luca, forgetting to be cautious, blushed with anticipation.
“Then do you not know that Sister-in-law is searching for you, will she leave you alone?”
Right?
Certainly, Aria wouldn’t leave him alone, right?
Luca grinned broadly.
He wanted to run to Aria right away and fall asleep in her arms.
But…
“I have something to do for a moment.”
He had to make plans immediately.
Plans to safely get rid of Aria’s child.
It had to be a very secretive plan. It shouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.
It might be better to leave for a distant place for a while.
“Something to do? You?”
Vincent asked with wide eyes looking genuinely curious.
As if to say, what kind of trivial thing could Luca possibly have to do?
Feeling annoyed, Luca spat fire dangerously close to Vincent’s face and ran away.
“Hey!”
Then, he recalled the divine power he had seen in his mother’s memories.
He had never attempted it before, but it seemed like something he could implement with practice.
“Luca!”
Aria was startled when she saw Luca, who had been missing for a few days.
“Where on earth have you been wandering around alone?”
She must have been so surprised by his sudden disappearance.
Did she go around looking for him?
“Why do you look like this again?”
Where did he roll in from?
Aria grumbled in frustration and brushed off the dust-covered Luca.
“Mya…”
Luca, extending his words, avoided her gaze.
Then Vincent, who was in the same place, looked at the dragon with a disgusted face.
“Well, is it really necessary to be worried about where he went?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“He’s grown up. I guess it’s about to reach puberty.”
This person.
Luca glanced at Vincent.
