Chapter 185 - The Emotion of Love

 

Ofeq was crouched in front of the door to Rhema’s lab in the basement of his house. His black eyes gazed at the lab door. How long had passed? The bronze dragon head-shaped doorknob twisted. Rhema came out of the lab with an exhausted face and discovered the bird. His brow expressed a little bit of irritation.

“Ofeq, what’s going on?” Rhema asked.

“That’s what I wanted to ask,” Ofeq replied sarcastically and soared. He landed on his master’s shoulder.

“The egg is in quite a mess. You must know the reason, don’t you?” Ofeq asked.

“…”

“I won’t tell you to kill her immediately, but just don’t meet her for a bit,” Ofeq urged.

“Do you…” Rhema stopped in the middle of the stairs. Not even looking at the bird on his shoulder, he asked, “…know the name of the emotion I am feeling?”

The bird made snapping sounds, opening and closing his beak. Then he sighed loudly and responded bluntly, “I know, of course. I’m doing this because I know. To you, it is the most dangerous emotion.”

“What is it?” Rhema asked.

“What is it?” Ofeq repeated with a snarl. He had already assessed the condition of the seal on the egg. It was already cracking irrevocably. The speed of cracking was also increasing little by little. There was no point in giving a warning. Ofeq said in a sarcastic tone, “It’s love.”

“…Love?” Rhema asked in a dry and cracked voice. He suddenly remembered the warning his master gave him a long time ago.

“You… shouldn’t love anyone.”

The emotion in his master’s eyes at that moment was pity. Yes, it was pity. Rhema only realized now. His master pitied him for being a human who has to give up his humanity for the sake of humans. Crack. The moment he realized what his master’s emotion was and why he showed such emotion, the crack on the egg became a little bigger. The bird felt that. It felt like walking on thin ice. However, knowing that he would definitely fall if left alone, the bird decided to take a chance.

Ofeq chirped in a sing-song voice, “Yes, Rhema Reshith. Don’t you know yet?”

“…”

“If you weren’t so attached to her, you could’ve killed her like taking care of the seeds. You would’ve killed her already when you realized her existence was threatening your seal,” Ofeq said.

“…”

“If it was like parental love, it would be possible to leave her for her sake because that would put her happiness first compared to staying by her side. But you are still next to her, dawdling,” he continued.

“…”

“If it was only an obsession, you would break her to own her because owning her would be more important than her will,” Ofeq said.

“…”

“Frankly, I expected you to fall down that rabbit hole, but you didn’t somehow. Although unlike you, you tried to be nice to the people she cared for—even though you wanted to get rid of them. Aren’t I right?” Ofeq asked.

Rhema gritted his teeth.

Ofeq smirked and continued, “Even so, you can never like that man now that Azriel Esthera looks like she’s in love with him, can’t you? Doesn’t it drive you crazy? Can you guess how few days it took for the egg to turn like this after that darn ball?”

“…”

“Hey, the answer is obvious.” Ofeq flew up, hovered in the air, and then shapeshifted into a beautiful, semi-transparent boy with short, silver hair and bead-like gray eyes. The boy who resembled Rhema concluded, “You are in love.” Floating like a ghost in the air, the boy pushed his face under Rhema’s nose. The face which was the same as Rhema’s but much younger smiled coldly. “This love will spell your end.”

Rhema was quiet for a long while. The boy stepped back from him and remained in the air. As if sitting on a throne, his posture was arrogant.
