Chapter 67: 66

❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

At that moment, Belial hurried over to the table and placed both of his ugly hands on the magic circle. Then a stronger light came out, and Belial exclaimed in an excited voice at the sight.

“Done! It finally succeeded!”

Belial jumped around the table and rejoiced.

Finally, the curse on the sacrifice that had been struggling so far had worked. In other words, it also meant that the monster and the sacrifice were finally truly connected.

Belial made a great fuss and said to Duke Alberton.

“Your useless second daughter seems to have a gift of stealing people’s hearts.”

“You mean, at last, Grace has the conditions to be a perfect sacrifice?”

“Yes! That girl has taken over the steel heart of that monster! All that’s left is to kill her right in front of the monster!”

Duke Alberton, who had been listening to the words with a puzzled expression on Belial’s joyous voice, smiled softly at once.

He has pushed countless women to that monster over the years and repeatedly failed, but he’s thrilled that this day has finally come. What’s more, it was his useless second daughter who made it happen.

‘You’re paying the price to me for raising you now, Grace.’

Grace, who had been a disgrace to the family since birth, was worth saving without killing her. Duke Alberton asked while looking at Belial with eyes shining with a strange excitement.

“Is it necessary to only kill her in front of Duke Felix? How does it even matter?”

“Yes. It won’t matter if one of her limbs gets cut, or if she goes crazy. But if she can’t die instantly on the spot. Then the monster would not be in despair and want to revive the sacrifice. Also, he may close his heart forever by vowing never to “love” anyone again. If things go that way, things will get complicated enough to make you think that the hard work you’ve done so far is not even proper hard work. Don’t forget! The fact that your second daughter was the only one who met that demanding taste.”

“I see. I’ll keep that in mind.”

While saying that, Duke Alberton shook his head with firm determination.

Out of a sudden, Belial giggled and burst into laughter. Then he turned around the table and approached Duke Alberton on the opposite side, looked up at his stiff face and spoke.

“No matter how much of a sacrifice she is made into, she’s still your daughter. Do you have no intention of expressing your condolences for the unfortunate death she will soon suffer?”

“As the youngest daughter of the Alberton family, she has to repay this much for the family that allowed her to live in a luxury that ordinary people would not dare to enjoy. Besides, she has only harmed the family with her existence so far, so even if the family asks her to give something more than her life, she has to give it.”

“Oh, you’re a cold father. Do you think it’s okay to sacrifice your daughter’s life for your family’s prosperity?”

“… … After all, I have a successor and a child that heir will give birth to.”

“Hooo.”

“And that child is the blood of the ‘great’ imperial family. Also, he is a child who will rise to the throne and bring me an empire.”

Duke Alberton replied to Belial’s words with his eyes glistening with a lust for power.

Now, it was not enough to sell the descendants of generations under the name of marriage and become parasitic on the influential family of that era. He wanted to hold that great power in his hands.

It was a golden opportunity for him, who was burning with such ambition, that is to have only one crown prince, and to be born with the fate of suffering a painful premature death under the curse of the great God.

‘If this plan succeeds, I will be the one who will rule this empire, holding a puppet-like young grandson and a foolish, jealous daughter in both hands.’

The brilliant blueprint of the future, which was drawn right in front of his eyes, made Duke Alberton laugh on his own.

Belial watched him with interest from the side.

This is why humans are so good. The coldness and greed that can cruelly throw away flesh and blood in order to have more than God has allowed, and the foolishness of not feeling himself ruined by his greed.

He loved a human who had both of them and liked to lend power to such humans.

Belial said to him in a meaningful voice, recalling the young Duke Alberton, who used all his magical powers a long time ago to summon him.

“Don’t forget, my human friend. All of these things could not have been accomplished without my strength and wisdom. The power of the current monster duke’s father, and the secret of his wife, Queen Eileen’s death and resurrection using that power to find out how to break the curse of the great God, I’m the one who contributed greatly. ”

“Of course, when I get this empire safely, I will give the lives of 100 of the Alberton family’s collateral for you.”

In response to Belial’s remarks that reminded him of a “promise,” Duke Alberton politely nodded in response.

Belial then burst into laughter again, looking satisfied. At the sound of that hideous laughter, Duke Alberton forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and said.

“Now that the curse is complete, I must think of a way to deal with Grace immediately, without a second thought. Also, I must hurry the marriage of the Crown Prince and Marianne.”

“Yes. my human friend. The sooner you proceed with the plan, the better. As long as the curse has been put on, the sacrifice will go crazy little by little without even realising it. And then, like all the other sacrifices that had been mistakenly subjected to the ‘half-curse’, would it be a disaster if they were to injure themselves and die?”

“Thank you for your advice. I’ll try to move as fast as I can so that it doesn’t happen.”

“Good-bye. I’ll contact you through ‘Gregory’ if there’s anything urgent.”

Referring to the young girls who had previously been caught by the ‘half curse’. And had died before they could even win the heart of the monster, Duke Felix, Belial mumbled with disgust as if teasing Duke Alberton.

Duke Alberton hardened his expression unobtrusively at the sight and left the Chamber of Secrets with the excuse that he was going to work quickly.

Back through the narrow, dark passageway, and out of the cluttered study, Duke Alberton pushed the bookshelf back to its “original” shape.

After that, Duke Alberton looked around and checked his orderly cluttered study. It was because of the old man’s fear that someone might have touched the study while he was in the secret room.

Fortunately, he was relieved to see that it looked no different from before entering the secret room. But, Duke Alberton frowned at the unfathomable feeling of uneasiness.

‘But no matter how I look at it, it’s strange. Is it true that the ignorant servant or maid touched it? It’s not like I’ve organised it, but it looks like someone has messed it up. As if someone was after something.’

It was when Duke Alberton, thinking so, was approaching a great pile of records.

Knock, knock.

At the sound of a light knock on the door from outside, Duke Alberton looked at the door and responded.

“Who is it?”

“Father. It’s me.”

It was Marianne’s voice that returned.

Duke Alberton immediately opened the door of the study and greeted Marianne who was standing in front of it.

“What are you doing at this hour? What about the etiquette lesson?”

“Is the etiquette lesson important now?”

Marianne bluntly answered Duke Alberton’s question and entered the study.

Then, frowned upon by the still unorganised scenery of the study, Marianne kicked the books and documents that were near her feet and sat down on the soft sofa in the study.

Duke Alberton made a blatant impression on his daughter’s appearance. The strange traces of someone searching were probably done by his eldest daughter. He coldly asked his eldest daughter Marianne, who had already been arrogant in front of her father and the crown prince.

“Yes. What’s more important to you than the Marquis of Chatton’s lesson, which requires me to pay three hundred gold coins a week?”

“Don’t be sarcastic, Father. Because I must ask you something.”

“To me? What?”

When Duke Alberton asked in a displeased voice, Marianne asked, biting her lower lip.

“I heard that you went to the Imperial Palace this morning. Have you been to the Crown Prince?”

“Why do you ask me when you know it?”

“You have warned him properly, haven’t you? About what will happen if he breaks off his engagement with me.”

When Marianne asked with a cold expression on her face, Duke Alberton answered with a shrill laugh.

“Of course. I was on my way out after frightening that cheeky prince.”

“……That kind of verbal warning is not enough. You must break the Crown Prince’s spirit properly. So that he does not dare think of breaking this marriage, and that he does not turn his eyes to any other girls than me.”

Marianne’s pride was hurt that she had to make such a request to her father, Duke Alberton, to marry the crown prince. But she had no choice but to make a heartfelt request to her father.

After that, Duke Alberton, who had been listening to it silently, spoke with a snort.

“I understand what you’re saying to keep the marriage from breaking up, but you don’t want him to turn his eyes to other ladies? Marianne, do you think that monster can love someone? Don’t worry about unnecessary things.”

“You really don’t know anything! Father, the Crown Prince already has someone else in his heart than me! That’s why he’s trying to end his marriage with me even more!”

“… … What? Who the hell?”

However, at Marianne’s exasperated cry, Duke Alberton asked in a bewildered tone.

Marianne screamed even more indignantly.

“How can men be so dull! Why does my father still not know what my mother noticed at once? Whom does the prince’s eyes turn to, and who does he cover in front of me blatantly! You saw it right in front of you, but you didn’t know?”

“… … what? Did I see it with my own eyes? when… … .”
