The boy kept his mouth shut for a moment.
But, did he immediately remember the promise he made with Aria? He continued explaining with a sigh.
“I’ll have some seizures and it’ll be stronger than before.”
He spoke of it as gently as possible. Broken bones all over his body, ripping his bare skin and sticking out.
It was a fruition that had to be obtained after enduring countless times of crushing pain.
‘It can’t be that simple.’
Aria clenched her fists tightly.
“What will happen if the devil’s malice is not passed on from generation to generation?”
“If there is a bloodline, it automatically connects.”
“No, what if you don’t have children?”
It was always questionable. Why does Valentine keep having children and succeeding it?
If it were Aria, she would never have inherited her miserable fate by giving birth to children.
‘Even if you have met a true love that you will never have again, so you think you want to have a child with that child, it’s not right to give birth.’
If they loved that person, even more so, they would have prevented themselves from having children.
Clearly, there must be a reason to have a successor.
Then Lloyd said.
“That day will be the end of the world.”
Ah. Only then did Aria realize.
‘Valentine wasn’t the devil.’
They passed it on from generation to generation to protect the world from the devil’s malice left behind on this earth.
In order to continue the life of the land that was abandoned for breaking God’s orders. Just enduring all the notoriety and criticism.
‘That’s too… ‘
Her chest felt pain as if it was being cut.
Even if Valentine’s original Head really did something to summon the devil from hell. Even if he was cursed to pass on the devil’s malice from generation to generation. Why did it become a karma that future generations should bear?
Is it the sin of being born of direct blood of Valentine?
Is it a sin to be born?
‘You’re just born, but you hold a curse, pollute and kill someone you’re married to, and pass the curse to the child born and eventually go crazy and die as ashes?”
Surprisingly, Valentine has kept it going. For several generations, continuously.
‘That’s why neither the Emperor nor Garcia ever touch Valentine.’
It wasn’t that they didn’t touch it, it was that they couldn’t touch it. If Valentine doesn’t give birth to a child and pass on the curse, the world will end.
‘So the rumor spread that Valentine’s direct lineage would kill their father from generation to generation and ascend to the position of Grand Duke.’
They didn’t kill.
The predecessor grand dukes lost their power after passing on the devil’s malice and hid themselves in the detached palace. That’s how they imprisoned themselves, suffered madness, and died as ashes.
