Chapter 141.1
Becoming The Villain’s Family
Was it Godâs arrangement?
âIn other words, when the last remaining Siren dies, was it designed from the beginning for time to turn back?â
Aria was dumbfounded. She even let out a nervous laugh.
From the moment she first saw Atlatisâ past through her dreams, what she had hoped for in her heart had become a reality.
âWhen I called like that, there was not even a response.â
If only God was watching everything and her presence was important enough to turn back time. Why didnât God ever give her an answer?
âI thought I had a new chance after denying God and hoping to go to hellâ¦â¦.â
The God in Ariaâs perception was the villain.
Because the malice that Valentine had cherished from generation to generation was actually Godâs malice, not the devilâs malice. Because it was the Saint of Garcia who borrowed the name of God who framed and killed Aria in her previous life.
âBut now, to hear that God was actually on our side.â
She didnât feel anything.
She didnât even trust God.
She only thought that God was playing with her.
âWhy is that? What should I say?â
âYou can do it.â
The Prince, the first named Siren reached out and pressed his hand to Ariaâs head. And he stroked her slowly.
As if he was comforting the wounds that he might have suffered.
âIf youâve come all the way here, it means youâve seen the memories I hid in the Song of Dawn.â
Aria nodded her head. Belatedly, she began to think of the situation rationally.
Come to think of it, God was deprived of feelings a long time ago. God was not in a normal state then.
âSo, is God still in a state of no feelings?â
âYes. No feelings, none at all.â
He was just a âmemoryâ, so he might not know what happened after this memory was engraved.
The Princeâs memory added,
âIf feelings disappear, it would seem that we can judge rationally, coldly, and cut like a sword, but no. Rather the opposite. God without feelings is no longer able to judge anything.â
God did nothing. This was because, at the same time as feelings disappeared, the reason was also paralyzed. God felt nothing, God ceased to care for the world, and God ceased to love the creatures.
And in the end, God even forgot Godâs own existence.
âAfter Shadra, I mean God became like that, I succeeded to get two feelings in my hands after much struggles.â
The Princeâs memory said with his arms wide open.
âOne of them is Godâs âhopeâ. I have planted my memories in hope.â
âThe other one?â
âThe other oneâ¦â
He raised his index finger and pointed at Aria.
âGodâs âconscienceâ, which I swallowed.â
It was only after hearing him use the word swallowed that Aria remembered it.
The fact that the Prince swallowed something like a piece of jewelry when he was a boy.
âAfter I swallowed it, I became the Siren. Magical powers began to appear in my songs.â
So he described himself as the first Siren.
It wasnât that the descendants of Atlantis were Sirens, but that the Prince had magical power after he swallowed Godâs âconscienceâ. And the power of the Siren has been handed down from generation to generation through his bloodline.
âThen in meâ¦â
âYes. There is Godâs conscience.â
Aria put her palm over her heart, looking troubled.
It was because she had no idea that a part of God could be dissolved in her own body. She couldnât even think about it.
So, thatâs why Godâs malice that Valentine harbored was relieved by the Sirenâs song?
âWhy is there a conscience?â
âConscience is the only medium between good and evil.â
Good and evil. Aria heard that and her eyes widened.
âI can connect good and evil.â
The Princeâs memory looked bitter and he said.
âYour presence here means that Shadra still hasnât regained those feelings. Please, I hope that people donât overdo it.â
Said the Prince with his hand on Ariaâs head.
His image, which was clear that Aria felt like was having a conversation with a real human, faded.
Aria was startled and stretched out her hand.
She touched nothing.
Howeverâ¦â¦.
Suddenly, a lot of information poured into her head like a waterfall.
Endlessly.
âThis is the Princeâs memoryâ¦â¦.â
Amidst the flood of information, Aria could not come to her senses for a moment. She was endlessly flooded with information that she didnât even know exactly what it was.
But one thing is for sure, she learned songs she knew nothing about, except the songs Sophia sang during her lifetime.
Sirenâs songs.
âAh, all the songs that the Prince heard and learned while he was alive met the pieces of the feelings and became the Sirenâs songsâ¦â¦.â
His name is Juan. He was the first Siren and the last descendant of the Atlantis royal family.
The moment she wake up,
âCough, cough!â
Aria pushed the person in front of her and coughed up water.
It wasnât until she sniveled for a while that she realized that it was Lloyd who she had pushed the moment she opened her eyes.
ââ¦â¦sorry.â
âNo, itâs me.â
Huh? Aria looked puzzled as she flipped her hair that was clinging to her face behind her back.
She didnât know why Lloyd was apologizing to her at the same time.
âI hesitated for a momentâ¦â
Oh. Aria soon realized what he was trying to say.
âHe was trying to do artificial breathing.â
No wonder, as soon as she opened her eyes, there was a face in front of her.
Aria rubbed her flushed cheek for a moment and looked away from him. Itâs not a kiss, itâs a rescue, so of course she has to say itâs okay.
Somehow nothing came out of her mouth. If the other person was Lloyd, of course, she couldnât help but be indifferent.
There was a moment of heavy silence.
âKhhmm, but what is that?â
Aria gave a brief cough, and she turned the topic around.
A white mass of light flew around Lloyd from before.
âI donât know, itâs like a flyâ¦â
He answered, waving his hand roughly.
In the circumstances, he knew that it was Godâs hope that grabbed his ankle and dragged him like a water ghost. However, from the moment Aria woke up safely, Lloyd decided to completely ignore the lump of light.
Even just being near it makes his stomach churn.
âAre you going to keep it down?â
Then the light rushed to Lloydâs head as if in a temper.
âOh, you canât kick it out. Lloyd.â
Aria reached out her hand towards the light.
Then it flew away and sat quietly on Ariaâs hand.
âI think I know what to do next.â
After accepting âJuanâ memories, she now knows for sure.
Why he lured them here.
hi, this is a split chapter because itâs quite long~!
