Chapter 16
I looked at the Duke with a blank face, and he lowered his black gloved hand and touched my cheek.
[ Eustia Vissenna was a cursed man. It was when the boy was nine years old that he was cursed.
The curse that stops aging and prevents death has turned an ordinary boy into a monster.
In the fast-paced time, only his time stood still.
Like the waves hitting the rocks, the foam of emotion has long been piled up. Staying sane was like a job for him.
Eustia Visenna.
The reason the man who was granted the title of Duke by the emperor established a family was to break the curse that held him right, but no one knew about it.... ]
"I heard you swallowed Wyvern's poison."
I woke up from my thoughts when I heard the Duke's cold voice.
Would it feel like this if there was a black snake with venom?
It seemed that Callan, who was born as a natural ruler and Ferze, who is called the Dragon Knight, did not dare to look down on the Duke of Visenna.
Instead of answering, I nodded quietly.
Contrary to expectations that he would be angry for being rude, Eustia took off the black gloves that covered his hands.
When the gloves came off, the back of his white hand was revealed.
An unknown pattern was engraved on the back of the Duke's hand.
An ancient pattern that could not be read was drawn on the hand engraved with wounds.
The one on the right hand is contains with the dragon's magic.
On his left hand, there was a pattern to prevent the desires of killing and cannibalism.
Only his deceased wife knew his secret.
Duke Eustia was famous for wearing gloves in any situation.
He didn't show anyone the pattern on the back of his hand. Even to his son.
