The Impact Of The Villainess' Fake Marriage On The Ending

Chapter 66

"... Does he know what kind of curse it is?"

Adeline shook her head.

"He just said that there seemed to be a very strong curse of darkness. That's why he told me to be careful."

"When did he say that?"

"Before the wedding. Before we got married."

It was much longer than Kael had thought. His blue-grey eyes trembled sharply.

"If you knew that for so long, why didn't you run away? You could have cancelled the wedding because of the curse."

"Simeon told me about the possibility, but he wasn't sure. I believed in that uncertainty, and our contract was already signed anyway."

Adeline calmly explained why.

At that time, Adeline did not take Simeon's words seriously. She did think it was unusual for black magic not to work on him, but that was all.

"Kael."

Adeline, who had been reminiscing about the past, finally called out to Kael.

"Are you not going to tell me what your curse is?"

Their eyes met in silence for a long time.

Could he tell her? Could he tell her this awful story?

Kael fell into thought, thinking about the terrible time only he knew. In fact, the most effective way to push Adeline away was to confess his curse as it was.

The curse where everything he loved was subject to a painful death. So, if he continued to love her, she would suffer. And so, she had to get away from him, and he had to let go of his feelings for her.

'But why can't I tell her? Now that she knows how cowardly this is, why can't I say anything?'

If he revealed the curse, Adeline would understand why Kael was trying to push her away, and she would also prepare for a breakup with Kael.

So, he just had to tell her as it was. In fact, he had to tell her that they should part ways now.

However, Kael's mouth didn't open.

The woman he longed for the first time in his life was too covetous, too glimmering, so he kept getting greedy.

He kept increasing the amount of time he kept her by his side. He should have let go of Adeline from the moment he fully realized his feelings. But the time that had increased by a day or two had now changed to 'until her brainwashing is cleared.'

"Because solving your problem comes first. Let's focus on this."

Once again, Kael cowardly ran away. Even though he knew how ridiculous it was to hold Adeline in such an embrace while fearing that his curse would haunt her, and even though he knew how much he had sinned, he couldn't let her go.

"Kael, but..."

"You first. I'll take care of you first."

Adeline, who was about to ask more about the curse, closed her mouth tightly and nodded.

When Kael came out with such determination, she knew well that there was no point in saying anything.

"I'll invite Simeon to dinner. It will look like his sister is looking for him, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Kael nodded, saying to do so.

Once the situation was settled, Kael and Adeline stared at each other again.
