My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 56: Boy King (2)

༺ Boy King (2) ༻

The setting sun.

A sight that had always brought special memories to the Boy King.

Such a phenomenon still held true even now, despite him having seen through more scenes than any person would ever experience.

Family. Siblings. Friends. Acquaintances.

He recalled the memories of everyone gathering while laughing loudly together, raising their glasses in celebration under the setting sun and the emerging moon.

That was the Armada Kingdom's final day.

A memory of a time when everyone smiled and accepted the impending 'destruction'.

Even after thousands of years, it still rooted itself firmly in his mind.

It could be said that this memory was the only thing left between him and death.

"..."

He closed his eyes and let out a shallow sigh.

A venomous aura that could even crumble a sturdy stone building was emitted from inside him..

"I don't have much time left."

The origin of that venom was 'something' within his chest, which was bubbling and stirring even at this very moment.

"Soon..."

He muttered while clutching his chest.

There really wasn't much time left.

Until he could fulfill the 'promise'.

"..."

Suddenly, his gaze lingered at a distant place.

A pair of a man and a woman was visible.

Among them, the man was the one who seemed to capture Valkasus' attention.

"..."

Suddenly, a smile crept onto his face.

If what the Prophet had said was true, that man already knew his reasons for doing this.

That man probably knew what he was capable of. The identity of the 'thing' that he was entangled with to end up like this.

And yet...

-I will save you, Valkasus. You and your kingdom.

He made such an audacious statement.

That bold proclamation.

"...If you really can pull it off..."

-Please become my subordinate. For life.

Even if it was an outrageous request such as that...

"There's nothing I wouldn't do."

With those words, Valkasus looked up at the sky.

The sun would set soon.

Simultaneously, it also meant there wasn't much time left until the 'end'.

"...Don't keep me waiting for too long."

And...

"I've already waited long enough."

Such bitter murmurs faded away into the empty sky.

"So, what is the plan?"

Eleanor brought up such a question while carrying me like a piece of luggage.
