Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 90

Before closing the case, they immediately needed a place to stay that night. In fact, the night was so deep, they could have stayed in the Imperial Palace for a day or so.

‘I’ve been through something like that, how can I sleep with my feet stretched out in the Imperial Palace?’

She will definitely have nightmares. And she didn’t want to give the Emperor an excuse to make another nonsense again.

Aria was tired and didn’t want to stay in the Imperial Palace any longer.

“There are a few mansions in the capital.”

Then, Lloyd said. Insignificantly.

‘Not one mansion in the capital, not two, but a few…….’

She didn’t know about it because she had never been outside the territory.

Aria nodded her head as she realized Valentine’s wealth again.

“Let’s go to the nearest one, then.”

Lloyd and Aria left the Imperial Palace that day. Even the moonlight was dark in the middle of the night. The two rode in a horse-drawn carriage.

Lloyd was silent the whole time.

‘Since when.’

It was definitely good. The relationship between Lloyd and Aria was an amicable one.

Careful, kind, and wish each other happiness. It was very friendly.

Until the Emperor worked his tricks and the dead gutter rat appeared.

‘No, there was no change in attitude when the gutter rat appeared…….’

Rather, he was surprisingly calm. He pushed the rat to the limit as if he was very calm and used to it.

‘Oh, I remembered.’

The moment he mentioned that the gutter rat would steal ‘the devil’s malice’ from Lloyd.

It was from then.

From then on, Lloyd’s mood suddenly subsided. It was as if they had returned to the first time they met. Back in the day when Lloyd set up a sharp blade, pushing away everyone approaching.

Aria remembered the words that she had been wanting to say in her heart for a long time.

“Lloyd, maybe that bast… No, the gutter rat hurt you?”

“Hurt?”

“Um, hurt your feelings?”

Lloyd let out a smirk without realizing it.

Hurt his feelings. It was just an Aria-like, friendly expression.

‘No, it made you realize reality.’

Maybe, really, maybe, he thought it could be. That he can live like everyone else.

After a very deep and sweet dream, he only realized again that the place he was standing in was hell.

‘What I have is something no one can completely purify.’

Even singing the Siren song is useless.

It only temporarily alleviates the condition or slows the progression of madness.

Again, there is only one way to get rid of the curse. He knew it from the beginning.

It’s just that the colors during the four years when Aria appeared were so intense and dazzling. He just wanted to deny it.
