Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 276
Chapter 276
“Actually, when I was young, I wanted to become a star.”
“…Uung?”
Luca nodded for a moment, pausing instead of speaking.
“At first, I wanted to become a night that could illuminate the moon, but then I thought I wanted to become part of the vast army of stars guarding the moon.”
Aria, as if searching through old memories, had a momentary wistful look.
She wanted to be both the night and the stars, but in the end, her goal was to be with the moon.
“Aya wike moon?”
“Yes, when I first saw Lloyd, I thought he looked like the moon.”
Why does that guy look like the moon?
With the whole black human and the white moon shining in the night sky, was there some resemblance?
Luca made a sullen face, unable to form a consensus.
So, Aria wanted to become darkness and an army for the sake of that darned Noah’s descendant.
“In that sense, Celene seems okay too. After all, it’s Lloyd’s child. The child of the moon-.”
“Elaina!”
Luca reflexively shouted.
Aria was thinking about Lloyd when it came to the night that made up the background of the stars and the moon.
So, it seemed like the unrelated sun would be the best.
Because where the sun rises, there is no night, no stars, no moon.
And there wouldn’t be that darned Noah’s descendant either.
“Sun, good.”
Then Aria smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling like the sun.
Just like that radiant sun she mentioned.
“The child doesn’t need the night or stars like me and Lloyd. It would be nice if they could grow up in an environment where neither night nor stars are necessary. Just like the shining sun reigning alone, it would be even better if they shine brilliantly.”
“…”
“The name Luca came up with. I’ll remember it.”
Aria gave Luca’s head a pat and disappeared.
‘I named it?’
He’s completely out of her mind.
Luca realized this fact when he noticed he was standing alone in the empty room.
‘Where did it even look that I named it!’
The answer was predetermined, and he just responded to it!
Luca couldn’t hold back his anger, and he grabbed his head.
There would probably be no dragon in the world who understood the special meaning a name had as well as Luca did.
The moment it was named, the baby belonged to God, coming into existence in the world. For Luca, this world was paradise, and Aria was his savior leading him to paradise. Giving a name was an act that was special, reverent, and even sacred to him.
That’s why it became even more despairing.
To give a name to the human baby he so hated and abhorred!
‘And to name it the sun, the most shining name in the world….’
Of course, if the baby resembled Aria, there would be no name more fitting than the sun.
‘Elaina….’
If shortened, it could be Ella, maybe.
Luca thought about it absentmindedly and then slapped himself on the cheek with a smacking sound.
What on earth am I thinking!
‘What does a name matter anyway?’
It’s going to die soon.
Although the heart is beating and moving, it’s going to die anyway.
Thanks to the name, the baby has become God’s child and belongs to the world, but it’s going to die anyway.
‘Going to die….’
Rubbing his numb cheek, Luca fell into a daze with his mind blank.
Do I even need to kill it?
Having grown like that.
If, as Aria said, the baby could understand speech, have thoughts, and emotions…
He just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
The time when he couldn’t move a muscle, trapped in his mother’s womb, was still too vivid.
‘Well, just enough not to die.’
Anyway, if it just left Aria’s side, it should be enough.
‘I should prepare a few things.’
Some food, water, and a sleeping bag to maintain body temperature should be sufficient.
“…. What are you doing, Luca?”
Aria asked curiously.
Luca had been staring at Aria’s belly all the time.
“Get a head shtharth.”
Was it some important ceremony for a dragon? It could have a similar meaning to sorting the hierarchy among animals…
Aria fixed her gaze back on the book she was reading without giving it much thought.
“Aya.”
“Yes?”
“Nuca no money.”
Aria lifted her head with a puzzled expression.
“Do you need money?”
“Ung.”
“If you tell the nanny what you need, she’ll get you anything you want.”
“Dowan. Nuca own money.”
Is he already at an age where he needs an allowance?
However, Luca’s growth had been rapid for a one-year old, so Aria thought it might be possible.
“Tell William. He’ll give you whatever you need.”
She didn’t bother asking how much he needed.
In Valentine, there was an abundance of rotting assets that couldn’t be spent.
People in Valentine were accustomed to spending without worrying about the budget. After all, their wealth kept accumulating no matter how much they spent.
“Ung.”
Leaving only those words, Luca dashed away.
Aria silently watched the child’s back for a moment.
Come to think of it…
‘Before, he used to stick around me all the time without missing a moment, but these days, he’s been disappearing more often.’
It was unexpected.
After her morning sickness was over, she thought he would continue to stick around as much as he missed during that time.
It’s a bit disappointing.
‘Has he grown up?’
On the other hand, she felt proud.
