Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 31

‘Well, she wouldn’t have died because she was the saint.’

Then Carlin poured magic into the necklace.

Then the transparent jewel suddenly glowed dark red and trembled, then became transparent again like how it always was.

“But magical powers don’t work.”

“Then what do you think works?”

“I don’t know. It could be divine power, it could be blood, it could be soul.”

Carlin handed over the necklace again, presuming that it was divine power, as she had picked it up from a temple site.

Aria tried to infuse her own magical power, just in case.

The jewel was briefly dyed a dazzling purple color, then became transparent again.

‘Is it not a magical power or a divine power?”

Aria thought she might not be able to reveal the identity of the necklace then for the rest of her life.

‘I don’t intend to be involved with the Holy Empire as much as possible in the future.’

She tucked the necklace in with an uneasy expression.

Anyway, that was the point from now on.

“Pierce my core.”

“No can’t do.”

Then the sword-like sharp answer came back. Aria thought about it.

She must have been scammed.

“I told you to prove it, but you didn’t say you did.”

“Swindler.”

“Who is the swindler!”

Carlin groaned, but he still averted his gaze as if he was the one being stabbed.

It was a mistake to give a chance to a ten-year-old kid, because he wondered what she would be able to do.

Anyway, Carlin didn’t want to kill Aria.

‘No, to be exact, he doesn’t want to be brutally murdered by his employer, precisely for killing the Miss.’

He was an unparalleled great shaman, but nonetheless he still could not win against the devil.

“From my point of view, I think the Miss’ talent will reach someday. No, with my help, it can be done within a year. But you’ll risk your life because you can’t stand that year.”

“If I die, there is nothing I can do…”

“That attitude is the problem!”

Carlin had become frustrated.

Normal people leave their lives as a last resort, no matter what extreme goals they set. Because that’s human nature.

But Aria didn’t really care about her own life.

“I’m going to say this after joining in, but it was really crazy to go to the place alone.”

It wasn’t really what he meant.

“I know that the coordinates are set to the Papal palace, so of course there are things to do there…”

Carlin suddenly started nagging.

He sent her knowing that it was safe because the world knew about the security in the capital of the Holy Empire.

‘Well. To me, the capital seems to be the most dangerous.’
