Chapter 231
* * *
“What are you afraid of that you keep avoiding me?”
“There’s nothing like that.”
“You’re lying.”
“Leave.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Do you want me to drag you out by force?”
“Don’t you remember? You’re the one who dragged me into this place.”
The moment I spoke those words, heat gradually kindled in Alexandro’s eyes.
“What are you trying to do with me right now?”
“I don’t know. A deep conversation?”
Kanna Adis.
I fell silent. His voice had dropped to a threatening whisper. A chilling gleam crystallized in his gaze.
“Don’t meddle in my affairs.”
In that instant, my toes tingled—a physiological response.
The oppressive aura radiating from him was something I could not endure. Goosebumps erupted across my skin, and my legs began to tremble.
Yet I felt no fear.
There was probably no one in this world who wouldn’t tremble before Alexandro as he was now.
I was not afraid at all.
“No, this isn’t just your burden alone. I ended up like this because I was trying to protect you.”
“I kept my promise. That’s all.”
He cut me off sharply.
“I upheld my convictions. So you don’t need to concern yourself with it.”
“Upheld your convictions?”
That’s absurd. I shook the medicine bottle in my hand before him.
“By consuming poison?”
I knew it was presumptuous. But this was something I absolutely could not back down from.
“Stop taking this medicine.”
“….”
“Your condition keeps deteriorating. Of course it would, after decades of consuming such poison….”
My words trailed off. Alexandro’s complexion was growing steadily worse.
He extended his hand.
“Hand it over.”
“…What did you say?”
“Give me the medicine.”
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He pressed urgently.
“Now.”
The atmosphere had become ominous.
Yet I stepped backward. I hid the bottle behind my back.
Whenever his memories threatened to tangle, Alexandro Adis would take medication to forcibly suppress his consciousness. Only then could he avoid the confusion.
“Right now—are your memories becoming tangled?”
His breathing grew ragged. As she retreated, Alexandro Adis advanced to close the distance.
“Move.”
Alexandro Adis tried to approach the nightstand beside the chamber. But Kanna Adis swiftly blocked his path.
“Step aside, Kanna Adis.”
His eyes reddened at the edges. Was a headache coming? Veins bulged prominently across his forehead.
Kanna Adis had made her decision.
She would not stand idle and watch him deteriorate further.
“I’m sorry. I can’t move.”
“Kanna Adis.”
“It’s better if your memories tangle temporarily. Taking this medication will only make your condition worse.”
He clenched his fists. The thick tendons in his hands trembled with tension.
“I said move.”
“No.”
It would have been simple to push her aside. He could subdue her with a single finger.
Yet he could not bring himself to do it.
Alexandro Adis could not forcibly push her away. Could not drag her. Could not lay a single fingertip upon her.
As though touching her would shatter his hand—or worse, shatter him entirely.
At this realization, Kanna Adis laughed. Though in truth, she wanted to weep.
“I’ll stay by your side.”
She opened her hand. The medicine bottle fell. The glass shattered with a sharp, crystalline crash.
“I’ll remain here to keep you from doing anything reckless, until your mind returns. So don’t worry.”
In the next moment, he could endure no longer and collapsed against the wall, gasping for breath.
“You will regret this.”
Kanna Adis knelt before him. Like one defeated, she bowed her head and placed her hand gently upon his shoulder as he breathed heavily. She soothed him softly.
“I won’t regret anything. Not a single thing.”
“You understand nothing. You…”
That was all.
He released a pained groan and lifted his head.
Their eyes met.
“…Divine Spirit?”
…
“Who are you?”
…
“Where am I?”
In that moment, a desperate joy surged through Kanna Adis’s spine.
Alexandro.
It was Alexandro.
* * *
“It’s a side effect from prolonged medication use. Sometimes my memories become muddled.”
“You lose your recent memories and regress to your younger years. Back when your relationship with your mother was harmonious.”
Claude was right. Alexandro’s memories had frozen in the past.
At the moment she left that letter behind.
“So you just left with nothing but that letter?”
After hearing every explanation, he couldn’t easily accept this. Even seeing newspapers with recent dates couldn’t dispel his suspicion.
But when Kanna recited that letter—the one written in Korean—word for word, belief flickered across his face.
“You sang so desperately for me to protect you. And yet you abandoned your body and sent your soul into the future?”
There was no choice. Right after witnessing Raphael age into an old man, I couldn’t afford to waste more time.
‘It was already too late by then. Raphael had already become nothing but bones.’
But I couldn’t explain even these circumstances. It would only sound like an excuse to him anyway.
As expected, Alexandro seemed absolutely furious at this revelation.
The story of how he’d lived for decades waiting for her. The story of the curse he’d endured.
And at the mention of raising her as his daughter, murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
“You’re maddeningly selfish. Though I should have seen it from the start—when you addicted me to that drug and blackmailed me to break you out of prison.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?”
He let out a low laugh.
He simply couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t it essentially the same as dedicating an entire lifetime?
‘No, that part is fine.’
From the moment I decided to protect her, I’d already sensed that life would become difficult.
But raising her as a daughter?
‘That madman.’
He cursed his future self and let out a scoff.
What state of mind could possibly justify taking her in as a daughter?
‘Well, to protect her from the Divine Spirit and the Black Apostles, there was no other way. Making her a member of Adis would have been the best method.’
So his future self had abandoned emotion entirely to protect this woman completely. He’d chosen to live only as her guardian for life.
It must have been a difficult decision.
But for him now, it was something that hadn’t happened yet.
Was that why? The resolution didn’t quite resonate with him.
‘Kanna, was it?’
Seon-hee’s real name. Seon-hee’s true appearance.
Of course, Seon-hee was an exceptionally beautiful woman. But to be honest, her appearance wasn’t his type.
‘Rather, this one….’
He rested his chin on his fist and gazed at her intently. From head to toe, there wasn’t a single thing he disliked. Even the shape of her fingernails matched his taste perfectly.
‘Raising a woman like this as a daughter?’
He was aware that he was deeply captivated by Seon-hee. Despite her not being his type, he was drawn to her intensely.
The moment he slipped his finger between her unconscious hand, his entire body trembled with vertigo. It felt so exquisite he shivered from head to toe.
In that moment, Alexandro became acutely aware.
He wanted this woman.
I desire her so intensely that my chest aches.
So despite her appearance not being my usual preference, I found myself drawn to her—but now….
“I’m sorry, Alex.”
Even her voice.
Alexandro Adis swallowed back a curse that nearly escaped his lips.
It was a voice that felt devastatingly sweet—subjectively and objectively alike. A seductive allure that didn’t merely flow but gushed forth, enough to drive any man to madness.
Alexandro Adis swallowed involuntarily, his Adam’s apple bobbing prominently.
Fearing his eyes might betray the predatory gleam within them, he turned his head away, rubbing his eyes as he muttered.
“I’m losing my mind.”
“It’s okay. I’ll stay by your side and care for you until you regain your senses.”
Alexandro Adis furrowed his brow. No, that wasn’t why he said he was losing his mind.
‘She has no idea what state I’m actually in.’
Which made sense. Even during his time with Seon-hee, he’d never revealed his emotions. He’d only fully realized them after denying everything and secretly holding her hand. There was no opportunity to show it.
Besides, his future self apparently avoided her.
‘I see.’
He sympathized with the primal guilt and confusion his future self must have endured.
But that was all.
‘It’s none of my concern.’
He had no memory whatsoever of raising this woman as his daughter.
His lips twisted into a crooked smile.
“My, my—your face is full of wicked intentions?”
“You’ll regret this. When you regain your senses, you’ll weep and strike the ground. You’ll wish you were dead.”
“Ahahaha, I’m already looking forward to it!”
Before that, Alexandro Adis glanced sideways at the malevolent spirits hovering around him.
“You’ll fall into hell, Alexandro Adis. You’re finally falling.”
“No one will ever forgive you. You’ll become a sinner!”
Was that what they called a curse from malevolent spirits?
Their words, spat out like curses, oddly touched his conscience—as if reminding him of a line he must not cross.
“Did I say I couldn’t break the curse of the malevolent spirits?”
“Yes.”
I see. Alexandro Adis chuckled softly.
‘My future self acted like a complete fool. How pathetic and unlike me.’
The malevolent spirits’ barrage of curses would have been nothing but a warning—a way to keep him vigilant, preventing him from ever reaching out to her.
But.
“Break the curse.”
To him now, it was merely an annoyance.
Whatever his future self might feel, the present him had no interest in such ascetic pursuits.
“How irritating. Your constant noise is getting on my nerves.”
Was he afraid of crossing the line?
‘Coward.’
He was young, a youth with hot blood coursing through his veins—an age where one could not ignore the fascinations before him, nor did he wish to. It was the spring of his twentieth year.
It was his first love.
It was my first love.
