Becoming the Terminally-Ill Villain Who Torments His Disciples - Chapter 65.2
“Ridiculous.”
“……”
“In a situation where the stain of being an illegitimate child must be erased… What, did the Duke of Doberman say he couldn’t marry his son to someone illegitimate?”
Clicking his tongue, Typhon turned around.
He wore a look that said Cielo was no longer worth speaking to, but then he suddenly stopped and slowly lifted the corner of his mouth into a crooked smile.
“Well then, how about this?”
“……?”
“My grandfather used to say that an Omega who goes into heat and grows desperate to be seeded by an Alpha is vulgar. That’s why every Omega born in the Esteban house was quietly killed off.”
At Typhon’s words, Cielo’s brow creased slightly.
But Typhon continued without a care.
“Prove it. That you, an Omega, are not vulgar.”
“……”
“If you do, then tomorrow morning, I’ll give you what you want.”
With a short scoff, Typhon turned and walked away.
As they silently watched his back retreat, Oscar quietly asked,
“What he said… about secretly killing Omegas… Was that true?”
“No. It’s a lie. Likely something he made up to give himself an excuse for his past actions.”
The real Cielo had worked tirelessly to understand why he was so hated.
When he discovered that it was because he was an Omega, he had locked himself away in the library, combing through genealogies and family records. He wanted to know whether other Omegas born into the Esteban family had also lived such miserable lives.
But everything Cielo had found in those records contradicted what Typhon and the twins had told him.
In truth, more Omegas than Alphas were born into the Esteban family, and all those who had led the household had been Omegas.
They were more capable than the Alphas in the family and had held all the real power.
There had never been any discrimination based on gender traits—at least, not until Typhon.
“How exactly does he expect me to prove I’m not vulgar…”
Muttering to himself, Cielo slowly began walking.
“Master.”
“Yes, Oscar? Go ahead.”
Cielo was already deep in thought, trying to anticipate what Typhon might attempt.
He had made a point of bringing up gender traits and told him to come back in the morning—so clearly, he intended to do something before then.
Would he try to induce heat? Or mix something into his food?
Just as Cielo was sinking deeper into his worries, Oscar spoke, his voice tightly restrained.
“I don’t believe that.”
“Hmm?”
Cielo stopped walking and turned back.
He had thought Oscar was following behind, but Oscar stood there, fists clenched tightly at his sides.
“I don’t believe Omegas are like that.”
“……”
“When a cycle starts, it’s the Alphas who come running to Omegas, too. If we’re going by that logic, Alphas are just as vulgar.”
Oscar swallowed the rage rising in him.
He had some idea that Cielo wasn’t treated well by the Esteban family.
Ryan had hinted at it, and Eli had told him more directly before they arrived at the mansion.
But he never imagined it would be this bad.
“Master, you’re not someone who deserves to hear that kind of filth…”
Of all people, it was Cielo who had suffered the most because of his secondary gender.
Oscar despised Typhon, who ran his mouth without knowing a thing.
Part of him wanted to lash out and show his anger.
But if he did that, Cielo might be the one who suffered more for it.
Cielo quietly looked at Oscar’s face, then smiled and stepped forward to gently take his hand.
“You’re right. Whether you’re an Alpha or an Omega, wanting someone is the same either way.”
“……”
“But to someone who’s already set on tearing others down, truth doesn’t matter. My father’s only goal is to hurt me with words that cut deep.”
Still holding Oscar’s hand firmly, Cielo resumed walking slowly.
Following behind in silence, Oscar spoke as if making a vow.
“I’ll make sure you’re happy.”
“……”
“I’ll make everyone who hurt you live to regret it.”
Hearing those words, Cielo gave a faint smile.
“I’ll be counting on you, Oscar.”
As he walked down the corridor, Cielo’s footsteps felt lighter than ever.
Just having Oscar beside him made the fear disappear, as if it had never existed.
