Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 184

One day five years ago, Gabriel realized.

When Aria first reached out to him it was out of necessity.

‘The Grand Princess never once gave me a heart.’

She never even hinted. She rarely ever was serious.

It was only when he left her side and reached a place he couldn’t reach her, that he could see it.

It wasn’t that she did wrong.

Because she was kind, she just showed a little kindness. Just like towards everyone else.

He was the one in the wrong.

‘I am dragged around with a leash like a fool because of one kind word, one light smile.’

Ariadne Valentine.

A person cold and noble as snow.

A person who will never look back no matter what he says, even though she smiles with her face.

She didn’t care about anything except Valentine’s well-being. Even her own life.

How could that be?

‘Can’t that be me?’

For the first time in his life, he did not know what to do with the intense emotions in his heart.

He thought countless times. He resented it. He also regretted it. But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t think of any way to change his mind.

Shall I get down like a dog and beg?

Shall I give her my life? Shall I sacrifice my soul?

‘What the hell do I have to do so she’ll allow me to be by her side?’

It was hard for him to admit that he wasn’t supposed to do anything. Was it because he was so insignificant that she didn’t even look at her for a moment?

Day after day, when his throat was dried up by the unknown thirst, he was summoned to Garcia.

“Everyone said they praised you. Even the commander of the Holy Knights said you had a great skill, so I couldn’t help but look forward to it.”

An audience alone with the Pope. It was something he had never dreamed of.

But when the dreamlike opportunity came, Gabriel didn’t feel any excitement.

‘In the past, I would have sworn allegiance and my eyes would be bright with curiosity, saying that I would make a better world…….’

He just bowed his head without saying a word. He felt like his emotions were broken these days.

“I’m flattered.”

But even so, Gabriel did not deny this opportunity that would never come again. He thought he should never let it go. To dedicate his lifelong allegiance.

He realized that he was too insignificant to be taken advantage of by Aria.

When Gabriel decided to work for the Pope, Veronica appeared in front of him.

“Have you been wondering where I’ve been all this time?”

“Not really.”

“Uhng, I’m sorry to hear that.”

When he met Veronica again, she had golden eyes as bright as Gabriel.

‘Symbol of divine power.’

What are those eyes? How is she still alive? Why was she wandering around the Papal Palace without being executed?
