Chapter 279
---- owner signed the contract, and I became the castles imprisoned monster.
At some point, the Realms separated, and I spent more time asleep in my consciousness than awake.
Icouldnt die, and I didnt care to live, so I watched over them in silence.
Until one day, when the cruel Goddesss conditions were met again, and I would move once morejust another pawn in her game.
---- The gentle touch of her small hand brushed my cheek, and the lump in my throat tightened.
But I kept my eyes shut, being a coward for the first time, until I heard her footsteps fading away in this cold and lonely prison where I had trapped myself.
Tears of blood rolled down my face as I watched the door close with all its magical protections.
In the end, I couldnt change anything.
Roger took care of my niece and the kingdom as the regent king until she came of age.
No one dared challenge her thronenot after the massacre I had left in my wake.
They feared the crown, and so it remained for centuries.
I didnt want to see her in person anymore.
I didnt want her to step into this gloomy cell or feel guilty for anything.
Roger twisted the real story.
My consciousness, always watching over the castle, saw her grow, fall in love, and have her descendants.
I watched Roger die of grief and sorrow, and I began to experience all the deaths I never wanted.
Thats when I realized that the punishment wasnt just reflecting as a silent guardian for a few centuries.
Since my wish was to protect my family, she took it to the ultimate extreme.
I later understood that these chains, the ones I couldnt easily break now, wouldnt let me age or die.
One by one, I witnessed the births of the Selenias and their deaths.
Some were called, others were notit was an endless torture.
Iwas forgotten, no longer needed.
I didnt even wake up when anew ---- The Goddess knew this.
She knew she had me in the palm of her hand.
Then I will do as you wish, Zarek, but I have conditions, she whispered, stroking my hair like a merciful mother.
But I hated her, hated her with everything I had.
Everything you have done has consequences.
I did not grant you your powers for you to use them this way.
What do you want? Just say it already! Havent you got me where you wanted? Just kill me already! I looked up with blood-filled eyes and met hers, swirling with the movement of countless galaxies.
JT wont.
You are too valuable a son to me.
No matter how many creations I make, few have turned out as perfect as youjust a little rebellious, I must admit.
Like your mother, you need a lesson.
And her damn lesson was the contract we signed, the one that chained me to the castle dungeon, unable to leave its confines so I wouldnt attack her other monsters.
At the time, it didnt seem like such a bad punishment.
All I wanted was to protect my family; this world she so fiercely guarded meant nothing to me.
So, I bound myself to the palace my ancestors built, and my army slumbered beneath its grounds, always protecting my niece and her descendants.
On this throne, I would only accept a Selenia, and so it remained for millennia.
Brother, thank you.
I never wanted it to be this way.
Zar, take care of her, please.
I leave her in your hands.
I will protect you with Mother; I wont be alone.
Well be together, okay? Dont be sad or angry.
I pleaded with the Goddess to release you soon.noveldrama
