Chapter 432: Fix His Wrong

The Incubus System Chapter 430. Fix His Wrong

Ethan’s PoV

As my consciousness returned to reality, I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was my bed canopy. Yet it took a while before I could get back to my senses.

‘This is… My room?’ I even narrowed my eyes to make sure since the previous dream threw me from one place to another. Even though I know Erebus’ death was the end of that nightmare, who knew it didn’t end there.

I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself and bring my consciousness back to reality.

As I tried to get up, I just realized that there was a weight that was pressing down on me. My gaze shifted to it and I could catch Lilieth sleeping on top of my chest.

From the tears on her face, I guessed she was worried about me and fell asleep while waiting for me to wake up.

Since I didn’t want to wake her up, I finally decided to take a glance at the clock.

06.35 PM

‘Almost dinner?’ I never thought I had passed out that long.

I knew I was supposed to get up, but I made another decision due to my heavy head. I decided to lie down for a bit longer since I wanted to clear my head first.

The silence of that empty room made my mind go back to my previous dream.

‘I wonder if Sarael and Lord Damon knew how Erebus felt.’ That memory opened my view of Erebus and gave me another view of that villain from the past. He wasn’t all wrong and it wasn’t him who made him that way. The cruel fate was the one that changed and pushed him to take the dark path. I might also end up the same as him if I experienced the same thing. Luckily I had a lot of people who supported me. Even in my dark times.

‘Is that the reason why Lord Damon was making such a face?’ I thought. The vision reminded me of Lord Damon’s sad face when we talked in the entertainment room.

‘Yeah… It’s probably right…’ Though I was not sure about that, his expression said so. It made me think of telling him how Erebus felt. Especially Sarael.

Erebus went through a lot of complicated emotions about Sarael. Even in his final moments, he didn’t want to hurt Sarael and let his subordinates fight against him. Erebus knew he wouldn’t have the heart to kill Sarael with his own hands. On the other hand, Erebus knew if he let Sarael live, Sarael would be a hindrance to his plans. So like it or not, Erebus had to get rid of his childhood friend.

“Mmph…” A mutter that came from my chest dismissed my thoughts and returned my gaze to Lilieth.

“Lilieth? Are you awake?” I whispered.

She sat up upon my voice.

“Ethan, how are you?” She put her hand on my forehead before shifting to my cheek.

“I’m fine. Just a bit dizzy.” I gave her a faint bitter smile.

“That memory… is really something. Erebus, he was in pain. Hurt. He has suffered a lot, more than me,” I said in a gloomy tone.

“Ethan… Suffering sometimes creates tremendous hatred in one’s heart. Even if the suffering is over, the memory will remain. It will be great torture for him. It happened to him, Lord Damon, me and you.”

I couldn’t deny that what she said was true, especially since Lord Damon never wanted to fight Erebus in the first place. He just wanted to pick up and bring Erebus here– to his home. He just wanted to… free Erebus from his pain. But Erebus was determined to carry out his plan. Apart from his painful past, my ancestor was one of the causes.

Erebus wanted his son to have a beautiful place where he didn’t have to be afraid to show himself that he is a Nephilim. Unfortunately, Erebus had strayed too far from his initial purpose. His greed and envy overcame it. Unconsciously, he even created a way for the demons to enter the human world over his rage over Lord Damon. He almost killed what he wanted to protect… His own son.

“I know…” I whispered. I turned my gaze to the ceiling, looking at my canopy.

“It’s just… It’s not fair to him. He has suffered a lot. His purpose was pure. Yet… Things were different from what he thought.”

A long breath escaped my mouth.

“But I don’t blame Lord Damon either. Erebus has betrayed him, taking advantage of him despite he was trying to help him. But this is too ironic… Two brothers had to separate and kill each other because of a cruel fate.” The pain was unbearable even for me. My sight was blurry, covered by my tears. It was not only for Erebus but also for Lord Damon and Sarael.

Somehow the dream made them look more… Human in my point of view.

Lilieth hugged me, burying my face in her chest. As if trying to hide the tears that didn’t come out of my eyes. There was no lust in her touch, only gentleness. I could hear her beating heart and smell her nice scent.

“It’s over, Ethan… We have to move forward. Erebus has left us with a lot of trouble, but he also left you. He was either good or bad. The same as the rest of us. But his story is over. His pain is done…” she said in the same gloomy tone as me.

I snuggled closer to her. Her warmth gave me comfort after that nightmare.

“I know. But somehow… I wish he could get a better ending than this…” I whispered.

“Not all stories have happy endings. Some stories have to end badly. No matter how desperately we struggled.”

It reminded me of Erebus’ last wish.

“I want to make it right, Lilieth. At least, I want to get rid of his regret… I want to fix his wrong and end what happened a thousand years ago.”

She released her arms upon my words.

“How do you know that he regrets it?” she asked with a frown.

“He told me,” I said.

“He told you?” she repeated in disbelief.

“I think it’s his last regret. He doesn’t want any of this either. It’s just that he can’t back down anymore,” I explained. I knew this sounded impossible since Erebus’ soul had already been destroyed along with his body.

She was silent for a moment. Her eyes that looked at me trembled in emotion.

“I see… Looks like fate has tangled you to us from the start.”
