Chapter 325: May There Always Be A Beam Of Light In Loneliness And Coldness (Part 2)
Translator: 549690339
“I originally wanted to admire you for a while longer so that you could leave safely in your sleep. Unfortunately, I didn’t expect you to wake up so early.”
“Even the Dream Fragrance is useless against you. As expected of inheriting that woman’s bloodline?”
Seeing Liz open her eyes, a horrified expression appeared on the young girl’s face.
As he sat by the bed, Count Sisre placed the thing in his hand on his cheek and took a deep breath.
In the darkness, Liz saw that it was the white handkerchief she had thrown on the ground. The red bloodstain in the middle of the handkerchief was right at the tip of her father’s nose.
Like an asthma patient, after taking a few deep breaths, the infatuated look on Count Sisre’s face gradually faded.
The difference between slaughter and surgery was precision, and the difference between a villain and cannon fodder was how much they talked. He had meticulously planned and hidden for so many years. Although he had been forced to move forward a lot due to an accident, he could finally tear off his mask. There were many things that Count Sisre wanted to say.
Liz, did you know that your mother actually didn’t die? Ha, of course, how could an ancient existence that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nine Gods die…
The earl stroked Liz’s golden hair, as usual, full of the image of a loving father.
Of course, the prerequisite was that if he was ignored, the crazy words and the twisted face that followed would be the same as the one before him.
” More than ten years ago, when I first saw your mother, I was already deeply fascinated, the kind that was beyond redemption. Your mother was so beautiful, with skin as fair and flawless as yours. She had long, golden hair, and an unparalleled aura…”
” At that time, countless aristocrats in Fire Code City were like me, rushing after her. In order to pursue your mother, they did not hesitate to spend all their wealth to buy all kinds of luxurious jewelry for your mother and hold a grand banquet for her, but… Humph!”
Count Sisre snorted disdainfully, as if he was disdainful of the other competitors who had pursued Liz’s mother with him back then, or… Self-deprecating?
“A bunch of idiots. They were all deceived by your mother. That evil woman… What Alice enjoyed was the feeling of being chased after. After she was tired of playing, she would choose the stupidest one among these fools and give her a reward. It could be said that she had started a new round of the game.
So, your mother chose me to fall in love with her. After that, there was you, Liz.
Everything was still normal up until this point.
But after that…
“That woman clearly knew how much I loved her and treated her as the most important person to me. I would never allow anyone to hurt or touch her, but… But she, she!”
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. The Earl’s hand that was stroking Lissy’s hair gradually slowed down. In the end, the stroking turned into a tight grip on her hair with bulging veins.
It was not until Liz let out a painful whimper that the Earl seemed to have escaped from the painful memories. He released his hand and took a few deep breaths before narrating again,
“When I learned of this news, I nearly broke down. I begged her bitterly not to leave, but your mother only shook her head. At that time, my love for your mother and for you caused me to have a crazy thought. I wanted to give up
everything in the Flame Region, my title, money, and manor…She wanted to bring you and Alice, who were still babies, across the continent, but she still shook her head. ”
“I’m angry. This is the first time I’ve been angry at your mother. I questioned her. Even if she doesn’t want me anymore, what about you? Where’s our child? A baby who had not even decided on a name was going to lose her mother the moment she was born?”
“In the end, Liz, do you know what your mother told me?”
The earl answered his own question, and a strong hatred erupted from his body.
” Your mother looked at me with pity, the kind of stray dog that wagged its tail and begged its owner not to throw it away. Alice told me that she had actually lived for countless centuries. She had witnessed the fall of the old era and the rise of the Nine Gods Era.”
‘ Over the centuries, she had countless partners, and she had given birth to countless children. As for me, you, and us, we were just passersby in her long life, entertainment when she was extremely bored.”
” I didn’t believe it. I screamed crazily until she spread the wings on her back and revealed her sharp and thin fangs. Countless bats surrounded her, and the terrifying and powerful pressure made me unable to raise my head. It was only at that moment that I realized that your mother was not a human, but… A monster in human skin!”
“I can’t accept it. I want to report it to the Fire God Cult. I want that monster to return my wife, but that woman told me that it’s useless. Our Fire God can’t even protect himself now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be indifferent even if she used the Fire God’s real name.
‘ Yes, your mother, even the name Alice, was just a bad taste in her mouth. Until she revealed the truth, admired my painful and tortured appearance, and disappeared into the night, I still didn’t know your mother’s real surname and name.
‘ And Lissy, the reason why you are called Lissy is because I no longer love that woman. All I have is incomparable hatred, hatred that is engraved in my bones! Every time I see you and say your name, it reminds me that I can’t forget the humiliation and hatred from back then..”
