Chapter 434 It was kind of annoying and infuriating!!
[Dear Reader,
I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this note and share your thoughts with me. Your feedback and support mean a great deal, and I value each and every one of you who has stuck with this story.
It's been a year since I started this novel, and I have poured my heart and soul into this novel. It's my first story, and it's truly my first love. I recognize that there have been shortcomings, especially in the beginning, but I believe my writing has evolved significantly over time. This growth has been a journey, and I am grateful for the lessons and improvements it has brought.
Recently, I have been contemplating whether to continue this story as it is or to rewrite it anew.... I am not considering discontinuing it or putting it on hiatus, as the story holds a special place in my heart.
However, I have noticed a decline in daily views, from 3-4k to now only 1-1.5k. This change has made me question if a fresh start might be beneficial.
If you prefer a new story, rest assured it will not follow the same plot but will feature the same characters and world settings. I am excited about the potential for new adventures and growth with these beloved characters.
However, if you prefer to continue with the current story, I am equally happy to do so.... but, You know... It can feel quite lonely when there is little response or engagement, but I am hopeful that this message will spark a conversation.
Truly lonely š„¹
Most of all, I know many left after the controversial 'R*pe' (Actually not) part involving his first wife, despite my explanations.
So, here I am... Hope you answer me properly]
[Author's Note: I am still waiting for responses, Only one reader answered me... Please!]

Aurora/Luna's POV
A small love started to bloom within me...?
What the....!!!
I was beyond shocked by my own feelings and immediately began researching his Holy Body to understand why. The answer became clear soon enough. It was because of his powerful, enchanting Holy Body. The aura he emanated had a way of affecting those around him, making them see him in an idealized, almost divine light.
Once I became aware of it and dispelled it with my own blessing spell, I started to see his true colours. Slowly but surely, I realized what kind of man he was... just like Lucian. He wore a mask of virtue, but underneath, he was manipulative and self-serving.
"Arrrhh!! I hate him!!" I screamed, my voice raw with emotion as I scratched my hands until the skin peeled off. Whenever Lucian or Alexander touched my hand, I felt an overwhelming urge to puke, as if their touch was a vile contamination.
However, I could only endure that disgusting feeling. To succeed in my plan, I needed Alexander. He was the perfect replacement for Lucian, a pawn in my game of revenge.
And just like me, Marieāanother girl... was smitten by this Holy Body. I tried to dispel the effect, but it seemed she was truly in love with him. So, I shrugged and began to treat her like a friend, using our friendship to further my own goals.
Over time, we became good friends, just like how I had been with Mariel. We shared laughs, secrets, and dreams, but I never forgot my revenge. I kept my true intentions hidden, locked away in the depths of my heart.
I needed to do everything possible to help Alexander grow stronger and faster. I guided him, trained him, and nurtured his abilities. Once I gave my origin blood to Alexander, he would possess the power needed to finally kill Lucian. Then... I would finally be able to relax.
Yeah... there was no way I would want to live after my revenge.
What was the point of living in my daughter's body?
I truly felt disgusting and nauseated. Day by day, I lost my sanity, trapped inside her. Each glance in the mirror was a cruel reminder of the life I had lost and the grotesque parody of existence I now endured.
NO MOTHER WOULD WANT THIS!!
This was a blessing?
A second chance?
I wondered... My daughter had died a long time ago... that much was certain. She was no longer my daughter. This body was just a shell... A dead shell.
I wouldn't let others taint it... not even Alexander!
My daughter's body belongs to her... That's all!
When the time came, I would die too. There was no future for me in this body. My existence was solely for the purpose of revenge, and once that was achieved, my life would have no meaning.
Yet,
"My name is Asher Eli"
This man entered my life.
When I first saw him, I was terrified beyond belief. Using my Judgement Eyes, I could see the pain and suffering of those who had fallen victim to him. Their tormented faces haunted me, each a testament to his dark past.
"Now what can you see?" he asked, his voice tinged with a sad smile.
All I could see now was a man alone, burdened with nothing but pain and sorrow. Something stirred in my heart, a flicker of empathy that I tried desperately to suppress.
N-No, I shouldn't!!
I should loathe him just like the others, and yet...
He was dangerous, a man with a past drenched in suffering, but he was also kind to me... Despite the fact that I had duelled him and nearly killed him, he treated me with unexpected kindness. Though he was a little overboard with his advances on my virginity, with his help, I could protect myself from Lucian and Alexander.
I wrote this diary with my blood every day... to remind myself of what happened to me and my child.... So that even Eli would not change my heart.
I would not lose sight of my goals, even if that man... that man... was trying to seduce me?
How could he be so blunt about this?!
Is he even for real?!
Did he eat well? He looks pale.
Look at him, flirting with other women?! Tsk!!
I tried to avoid him as much as possible, but... Explore stories at empire
"Arrrhhhh!!" I couldn't write anything other than about his chilling behaviour.
D-Don't tell me I've fallen in love with that bastard?!
I gritted my teeth, trying to deny these feelings as mere fake emotions, and yet, when he declared,
"She is MINE!!"
'Ba-dump'
Those possessive eyes and that tone... really made my heart flutter like a maiden in love.
I knew I shouldn't feel this way after all the betrayals and abuses I had endured, and yet, whenever I looked at him, he treated me like a treasure.
He even teased me about my breast size, his playful comments a constant source of irritation and amusement....
"Arrrhhh!! Damn it!!" I was really annoyed whenever he made jokes about my breasts, but deep down, I knew he was just joking around. Still, it irritated me to the point where I almost tried to seduce him with my small breasts.
Thank goodness I didn't act on my impulse to seduce him with my small breasts. As much as his playful banter tempted me, I knew that crossing that line could complicate our relationship in ways I wasn't ready to confront.
And then there was the time he braided my hair... It was a simple gesture, yet it spoke volumes about his care and affection towards me. In that moment, I felt a surge of emotion, a realization dawning upon me that I...I had fallen in love with him.
....I... I was aware of it when we were stuck in the dungeon all alone but denied myself. Though he was quite perverted, he had a good heart, and it always made my heart flutter.
Most of all, there seemed to be something going on between Marie and Eli... I wondered what it could be.
I tried to ask her, but she always dodged the topic.
If my daughter had brought home a man like him... I would have surely accepted them... but she was not here, and I could not.
I could only hide these emotions. I needed to do whatever was necessary to kill Lucian, and I didn't want to drag Eli into this mess of mine.
I was going to die anyway, so I didn't want to break his heart. He had a fragile heart... That I truly knew from seeing his love for his other women.
But still... I got angry whenever he flirted with others. It was kind of annoying and infuriating!!
'Can he just shut the fuck up and fuck his woman first rather than going for others?!!'
All in all... One day, I wanted to tell him how I felt before leaving this world.
If I got another chance... definitely not in my child's body... I would like to love him more and wish for him to pamper me and braid my hair... again.
I..... Luna... No, Aurora truly fell in love with that man, and no amount of uncertainty or fear could change that undeniable truth.
