114, – The Rightful Heir Part 2 LUCIUS.

The fireballs hit me badly.

I haven’t recovered from the one given to me by Zelda, and these recent ones have shattered every part of me.I was losing this battle.

This was already enough.

Seeing Patrea almost die twice was enough for me to realize I could never take Lucien down.

Lucija’s aura wasn’t changing, and I could not force her to do more.

She had never embraced her demon self in the first place.

And I brought them all here.

They shouldn’t be paying for my mistake.

I coughed up blood as I tried to heal the cut directly above my heart to stop the bleeding.

But I was too weak.

I’d always been weak, and I had no idea why I was chosen as the heir of Kalmerus.

But it was all gone now, as fast as it came.

Patrea came rushing, and despite the pain coursing through my whole body, a smile tugged on my lips.

I could end this now, and she would be safe.

“Lucius…”

Her voice broke as she dropped to her knees and held the hands I was using to keep my blood from oozing out of my heart. It felt good.

I had always tried to find ways to touch her, but now she was doing it of her own free will.

Only if she would smile instead of having tears in her eyes, maybe I could go peacefully.

I never dreamed of heaven.

I knew the demon world was where I was meant to be until the end of my days, but at this moment, I was hoping I could get a taste of heaven — like the one I see in Lucija’s eyes.

I wondered why she had a taste of heaven and I didn’t.

Perhaps because, despite the darkness around her, her heart was pure, whereas mine was dark from the start.
