Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 114

The slaves who were exchanging glances, buzzing with each other, lost their words for a moment.

“Collapsed?”

“All three days?”

“But you came to see us as soon as you woke up?”

In that moment, some of them remembered Aria losing her consciousness and being held in Vincent’s arms.

The girl sang the song. And because of that song, she hasn’t been able to wake up until now.

“Are, are you okay?”

Ted asked, startled.

Leo, who was in his arms and looking at Aria with twinkling eyes, suddenly burst into tears.

“Then, because of us…”

Aria was startled, wiping the child’s tears away.

“Don’t cry. I just made a choice I won’t regret, and it’s no one’s fault.”

The slaves who heard her were more agitated.

‘I wield my emotions however I want…….’

Aria muttered a little.

She’d be lying if she said she didn’t recall the past nightmares when they said those words.

In an instant, Veronica’s voice echoed in her head.

[“All those who are addicted to your songs have gone crazy!”]

Now she knows it’s a fake accusation. However, even now when she was sure that it was a conspiracy, the wounds she received at that time were still engraved deep in her heart.

Aria couldn’t help but be agitated.

‘Still…… I believe.’

Just like the words written on the card she left for Gabriel, who lost his consciousness and collapsed by the vagrants one day.

No matter how many accusations he hears, he should not doubt the path he walks.

Her agitation was only momentary.

Her eyes soon hardened. Her confident eyes did not falter, and immediately burned like flames with a bright light.

“When you listen to my song, what did you see?”

“Well, that’s…”

At those words, Vibrio stumbled.

As he listened to the song, his emotions intensified and assimilated, but he did not see anything. Because he did not understand deeply the feelings of the slaves.

Then Aria answered instead.

“Have you seen the world you longed for?”

All the slaves, except for Vibrio, nodded slowly.

Light, salvation, hope, courage, freedom. All of that drove them to move.

“But, who lifted the anchor and moved the boat?”

“……”

“Freedom is what you win. No one can deny it.”

Aria added, looking back at the man who had suddenly lost his words.

“Vibrio, you too.”

At that moment, Vibrio trembled and avoided Aria’s gaze. It was because her eyes seemed to pierce his innermost thoughts.

“The chains of slavery have already been broken. You have broken them.”

Aria didn’t want anything in return. She didn’t even boast that she saved them.
