Becoming the Villain’s Family

Chapter 207

“Oh, are you awake?”

Then someone spoke to Veronica.

It wasn’t a familiar voice, but it wasn’t really an unfamiliar one either.

“……Valentine’s shaman?”

Veronica asked with a very nervous face.

“Thankfully, you do remember. I would have been sad if you had forgotten me.”

He would never bring that up out of joy to see her.

“What the hell are you up to?”

Carlin released Veronica’s eye covering, who looked very nervous.

It was broad daylight.

She looked around with a frown and a puzzled look. And she looked into the mirror.

“KYAAAAAAKKKK!!”

She could only scream.

“Mo, mo, monster…!”

She knew that the tissue of her skin had melted away as it could not collapse. But this was the first time she had seen it in the mirror.

Her appearance was no less of an absolutely terrible monster.

Standing like this in front of the public, she could be stoned to death.

It was something out of a horror novel. A bizarre thing that doesn’t exist in reality!

It was then.

‘In reality…….’

Suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind.

‘In reality…… I’ve seen it.’

St. Aquino’s orphanage.

She conducted human experiments. The experiments were aimed at children who are still young, pure, divine, and even strong.

She tried to create chimera by forcefully injecting God’s goodwill into them.

As a result, all kinds of side effects appeared. Many of them took on the appearance of hideous monsters, just like Veronica in the mirror just now.

‘And those children struggled in pain all their lives and died.’

Veronica, who was in shock for a moment, was trembling all over her body. And she cried out desperately clung onto Carlin.

“Then, kill, kill me! Kill me!”

Then, Carlin covered the notebook he was holding in absurdity. The cover of the notebook had Hans’ name written on it.

It was one of the chimera’s research materials that he left behind before he died.

“I barely saved you, so why would I kill you?”

“…You saved me?”

Veronica’s gaze was fixed on the notebook, lying casually on the desk.

Then, no way…….

“Am I a chimera?”

Then, Carlin looked as if he couldn’t understand why she was shocked again.

This was something she had done up until now, so she has never expected that it would turn out like this?

“How does it feel to become a chimera?”

“Kill, kill me, please…!”

The reason why Veronica was able to survive her hardships so far and be fine was because she had faith.

She had faith that one day she will become the most respected and influential great person, and everyone will look up to her.

The faith that she is a worthy person to rise to that position even if she had to kill everyone and trample on them.

But, it’s all over now.

‘What a ghastly, horrible, wretched, terrible person.’

She can’t believe her future would be like this.

Unable to deal with reality, she would rather escape to death. But Carlin spoke surely.

“Live and watch with your eyes open. What is the result of the evil deeds you have committed so far?”

Veronica reached for the scalpel on the lab bed, but it ended in vain.

The Black Falcons, waiting by her side, held her tight and dragged her away.

The place she was taken to was the plaza.

“Gasp, monster!”

“It’s a monster!”

“How terrible. I’m afraid it will come out in my dreams.”

“Die, you monster!”

A child threw a stone. The stone hit Veronica, and blood flowed from her head.

The pain felt dull. Because she was a chimera. The blood had stopped before she knew it, and no more flowed.

“Ahk, that was a real monster!”

“Execute the monster!”

“No, burn the monster!”

People jeered and threw stones. Veronica gritted her teeth and staggered away.

Full of despair, poison began to fill her eyes.

“I can’t believe that such a thing was called the saint! As expected, Garcia must be the den of pagans!”

People who already heard that she was saint Veronica shouted.

“We must expel all Garcia’s forces out of the Fineta Empire!”

“Princess! Please take power!”

“This is not treason! It is a war with a holy mission!”

The plaza in front of the great temple.

It was a familiar place. It was a place that Veronica often used to incite believers in the name of God.

Veronica lifted her head with her hair scattered and bloodshot eyes.

Princess Natalie was standing on top of the far-off podium.

Having all her charges cleared, she looked down at Veronica with a lofty gaze in her impeccable attire.

“No, there will be no war.”

The people were perplexed at that. It was because the remark was as if she was scared and tucked her tail.

‘Well, since she’s been through such things. She might be sick of conflict.’

‘Poor woman. But, the person who will rule this empire in the future was this weak.’

The people understood the Princess’ choice, but at the same time, they started to worry about the future of the empire.

But Natalie’s words didn’t stop there.

“Countless people have already been sacrificed. I will no longer let innocent people die on this land.”

Natalie turned her head and gave a glance back. Then Lloyd and Aria came out in front of the podium.

The story that the Valentine couple had already cast out the devil with the power of God was widely spread among the people.

“Mya mya!”

And above all.

A small dragon with its eyes open sat on Aria’s shoulder.

‘Oh, that’s a real dragon!’

It was an unbelievable sight even after seeing it with their own two eyes.

A dragon was God’s guardian. Such a dragon following Aria without hesitation had already proved a lot.

“Truly God’s agents!”

People finally realized and admired Natalie’s deep meaning.

That’s right.

Even if they didn’t start a war to sweep them all out, if Fineta had the power of God, Garcia would collapse helplessly.

“All of Garcia’s priests all lost their divine power. No, divine power did not exist in the first place!”

In the present, when both God’s goodwill and malice have been completely recovered, no children with divine powers would be born in the future. The huge support foundation that formed the Holy Empire disappeared without a trace.

“My innocent people have already paid a heavy price, this body dirtying my hands is enough.”

Natalie proclaimed with a mighty voice.

“The Holy Empire, Garcia, will be directly judged by me and my officials.”

People froze in a daze. To think that the imperial family had no hesitation in saying that they would directly get their hands dirty.

But it was only for a moment that the people were dazed. Soon, thunderous cheers broke out among the people.

Natalie was the seed of the wise monarch they had been waiting for for a long time.

Moreover, since she was going to succeed the throne soon, they were overjoyed to be able to watch with their own two eyes a moment that would go down in history.

“Long live the Empress!”

Cheers roared.

Sparks flew in Veronica’s eyes as she watched the whole scene while being bound by the knights.

‘Uncivilized and lowly things. You idiots who only know how to be incited!’

I am God’s agent! GOD’s agent!

Chosen by God! Loved by God!

God was generous to me! God gave me divine power.

God’s goodwill, which even the most sacred soul could not accept, was fully accepted by me!

But, but why? This can’t be my ending.

‘Yes, this is all because Valentine interfered.’

You stole my destiny. Those leeches sucked my blood and now they’re standing in that shining spot.

As she thought so.

Aria’s gaze, holding the baby dragon in her arms, suddenly turned to Veronica.

Behind Aria’s hair, which at first glance seemed to glow white, the brilliant sun cast a halo-like on her.

‘Ah.’

That moment, Veronica realized.

‘So, all of this…….’

Aria was the one who suffered, but the more Aria gained strength, the stronger Veronica was too.

In fact, it was God’s arrangement.

To make Veronica endlessly overdoing it until she self-destructs.

In the end, to give all the glory to Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Valentine.

‘God waited for me to become like this…….’

It was a truth she never wanted to accept.
