Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 140

Coming of age?

“Is it a hallucination?”

Trying to drown him wasn’t enough, now it was showing him hallucinations. Starting small and getting bigger…….

Lloyd was startled and uttered a swear word. Because he saw himself reflected in the metal decoration.

“Eyes…….”

It was after Aria mentioned the color of his eyes the other day. Every time he sees himself in the mirror, he has a habit of checking his eyes first.

It’s not a faded silver-gray color like Grand Duke Valentine’s, but it’s not as black as before, it’s more of a dark gray color.

That was Lloyd’s current eye color.

But now,

‘…… It’s back to black again.’

It wasn’t just that.

As Aria grew up, Lloyd himself had grown up too.

His jawline was stiffer, his neck and bones were thicker, and his eye level was much higher than in his memory. He had grown noticeably.

It made him feel awkward.

“It’s a pretty specific hallucination.”

“A hallucination?”

Then Aria asked. Or, something in the form of her who claims that today is her coming-of-age ceremony, asked.

“Come here, it’s crooked.”

Approaching him without hesitation, she reached out and straightened Lloyd’s tie.

Lloyd couldn’t bear to shake off her hand. If it had been something else disguised as Aria, he would have noticed right away.

But this was just Aria. Appearance, voice, atmosphere, scent, energy, everything…….

It seemed that she would grow up like this as Aria grew older.

“What are you?”

“……yes?”

Unknowingly, he frowned at the unpleasantly close-to-reality hallucination and asked so,

Then Aria folded her eyes nicely and answered without hesitation.

“Your rabbit.”

She smiled brightly and took Lloyd’s hand, kissed it over the white glove. The pink lipstick marks came out on the back of his hand like a print.

Lloyd lost his words for a moment and looked down at the back of his own hand. Her lips marks were clear.

“The back of your ear is red.”

“……”

“Your reaction today is cute.”

Aria, who burst into a small laugh, grabbed his hand and led him into the middle of the banquet room.

And she danced a dance she had just learned a while ago.

Very skillfully. As if she had danced with him countless times, matching his tempo.

‘If it’s Aria’s coming-of-age ceremony…… then six years later.’

He was afraid every moment.

As he had seen in his dream, one day God’s malice will run wild and devour the Grand Duchy. Aria, who periodically purifies God’s malice, for Lloyd and Tristan, might someday come to a limit.

There is no way that her body can’t help but be burdened with the purification process.

She was already a weak person. Would he lose her forever because of his greed to live?
