Gale, who left the conference room, headed straight for Raniero’s villa.
‘No way, this can’t be!’
During the ritual, a problem occurred with Raniero’s holy relic, so the ritual was not completed.
It was the first ceremony in which Gale took part in the position of the head of the clan.
But like this.
‘I can’t believe I was humiliated like this!’
Not only was the consciousness broken, but the heads of the clans only blamed Raniero and Gale at the meeting.
Gale himself doesn’t know what’s wrong with the relic, but didn’t they ask what he did to the relic?
Some even complained that it was because someone who was not qualified came to the head position.
Gale eventually ran out of the meeting room, unable to resist.
‘Not yet…’
Gale, who returned to Raniero’s villa, widened his eyes when he saw Schville appear among the servants.
“S, Schville…”
“…What’s going on, brother? You come so early.”
Schville lowered her eyes and murmured.
Gale faced his younger sister and answered, strangely shaking.
“Oh, eung. S, Schville. So… the meeting ended early.”
Gulp.
Gale swallowed his saliva.
The servants lowered their eyes to avoid making eye contact with Gale, Schville, or anyone else.
Schville Raniero.
The reddish-brown hair flowing from the shoulder line. Sharp eyes. Delicate features. Her skin is pale because she always stays in the mansion.
To others, she was just a small, quiet, and pretty girl.
“Brother?”
Gale trembled at the sound of Schville’s voice.
Gale knew.
About that kid’s power.
‘The ability to steal the life force of others.’
Her father raised Schville in captivity in his mansion so that she couldn’t realize or use her abilities.
The ability to steal the life force of others.
He thought that this ability would one day devour Raniero.
And Arthur Raniero’s thoughts were exactly right.
9 years ago.
When Arthur Raniero fell, people wearing black hoods and black masks appeared at the mansion.
They called themselves ‘ancient messengers’.
They stayed in the mansion in the name of releasing the curse, saying that the reason Arthur collapsed was not because of illness, but because of the curse.
Since Gale, who was acting as the head of family’s representative at the time, was a young boy, he accepted the offer without much doubt.
Even with all the abilities of the Raniero children, they couldn’t wake Arthur Raniero.
He didn’t see anything wrong with trusting them.
However, even after ancient messengers began to enter and leave the mansion, Arthur Laniero couldn’t easily wake up.
No, on the contrary, the condition was getting worse.
He was skinny, his face had been pale for a long time, and his lips were so blue that he looked almost like a corpse.
He asked the ancient messengers why Arthur’s condition got worse.
They kept repeating that things were getting better.
Arthur’s condition was obviously getting worse. Now that he thinks about it, he should have kicked them out right away.
But the reason why he didn’t kick them out is,
Gale Raniero was young, greedy, and a boy who didn’t know his own worth.
This is because the authority he took over when Arthur Raniero fell was sweeter than expected.
Young Gale unconsciously thought that it wouldn’t matter if Arthur died like this.
So he didn’t throw them out.
Then, he saw it.
“Now, try it.”
He was curious as to how people who couldn’t even use the healing ability would treat his father.
That day, Gale snuck into Arthur’s room.
If he thinks about it, he shouldn’t have done that.
Ignorance is medicine, and he should have just lived his whole life without knowing it.
But Gale saw it.
Paaat—!
When Schville placed her fingertips on Arthur Raniero, an ominous black energy began to bloom from Schville’s fingertips and cover Arthur Raniero.
Schville was prohibited from using her power inside the mansion.
Arthur thoroughly trained Schville so that she couldn’t use her powers other than under his command, and the black gloves she always wore on her hands were proof of that.
However,
‘She took off her gloves.’
Moreover, only the members of Raniero are aware of the fact that Schville’s ability steals the life force of others.
The “Ancient Messengers” tried to get Schville to use her power on Arthur as if they had known about it for a long time.
As the black energy covered Arthur, Schville’s hair grew a little, and Arthur’s complexion became even paler.
Gale, who was hiding in a small room and watching the whole scene, covered his mouth.
“Well done, Miss Schville.”
The one who called himself an ancient messenger whispered in Schville’s ear.
The little girl nodded her head blankly, as if she had no idea what that meant.
At that time,
“Heup!”
The ancient magician turned his head toward the room where Gale was hiding.
Because he was wearing a black mask, he couldn’t tell if he made eye contact.
‘Did I get caught?’
If he gets caught, he will die.
Gale’s instincts were telling him so.
Gale’s instincts were telling him so.
Gale was the successor with the strongest abilities among Raniero’s children, but he didn’t reach the level of Arthur, the current leader.
‘Of course, better than Schville…’
There was a fact that he had forgotten for a while because he despised and looked down on it as a cursed gift.
If he compares Schville’s ability and his own ability, it goes without saying that Schville’s ability is superior.
Fortunately, the ancient magician left the room, taking Schville with him.
After he left, Gale jumped out from his hiding place a little while later and looked at Arthur Raniero.
He placed his hand on Arthur’s chest and used his powers to gauge his remaining vitality.
There wasn’t.
No, there was.
However,
‘…I, it’s a corpse.’
There was only a little vitality left in the body that it could easily be called a corpse.
Gale suddenly let go of his hand and fell to the floor, feeling as if Arthur’s skin was cool when he touched it.
It was from that day.
Raniero’s children began to die one by one.
The strange thing is that they all suddenly died one day.
Raniero, who boasts of the healing ability, has no time to use their ability!
One, two.
Gale trembled every night for fear that he might be next.
He couldn’t even guess how strong Schville’s ability was.
‘Who on earth are they?’
Why are they coming into Raniero and controlling Schville?
Gale didn’t want to die.
Because he didn’t want to die, he listened to the ‘ancient messengers.’
He was afraid that if he went against their wishes, he would die a cold death like Arthur and the other children.
At the same time, he foolishly rationalized that Arthur must have offended them.
He also promised himself that he wouldn’t do anything that stupid.
The ancient messengers said that it was a great shame for the family that Raniero’s children were dying one by one.
Raniero, who boasts healing abilities, sends all the children of the family away without even using their power!
He also added that if this became known, the Raniero family would lose its reputation and weaken its power.
Therefore, they should block the bird clan’s territory to prevent this fact from leaking to other clans.
Gale followed the words.
With the authority of the acting head of the clan, the bird clan’s territory was blocked and all exchanges with other clans were cut off.
There was a strong backlash from the elders, but there was no need to worry.
Because it disappeared the next morning.
After sealing off the bird clan’s territory, Gale heard that other clans outside were suffering due to the Giles flower.
But he was curious.
If the Giles Flower has spread to that extent, there must be victims in the bird clan as well.
But there were no reports of any victims, and it was very quiet inside the bird clan.
Gail was sometimes under the illusion that there were only two people left in this mansion, Schville and himself.
The bird clan’s territory was sealed off for several months. In the end, Arthur Raniero died.
The bird clan and the elders mourned his death, but only Gale remained calm.
Because he had known about Arthur Raniero’s death for a long time.
In the first place, it wouldn’t be surprising if he died that day.
It was a relief to have been able to breathe until now.
The day when Arthur died and the funeral was so simple that it couldn’t be considered the funeral of a bird clan leader.
Gale impulsively went to Schville.
It was definitely an impulse.
“…Brother?”
Schville must have been cutting her hair, because the maid stood in the room with scissors and Schville’s brown hair was all over the floor.
As soon as Gale saw the scattered hair, he got goosebumps and opened his mouth slightly.
He remembered the sight of Schville’s hair growing on the day when Arthur Raniero’s life force was taken away.
Then, the hair that has grown that much…
In the end, Gale hurriedly left Schville’s room without saying anything.
He didn’t want to hear anything.
He didn’t want to know.
Because it was important to survive.
Gale, who left the conference room, headed straight for Raniero’s villa.
‘No way, this can’t be!’
During the ritual, a problem occurred with Raniero’s holy relic, so the ritual was not completed.
