Becoming the Terminally-Ill Villain Who Torments His Disciples - Chapter 66.2
Gulp. Oscar swallowed dryly and closely observed Cielo’s expression.
Was he going to regret saying it?
As his violet eyes darted nervously and met Cielo’s sky-blue gaze, Cielo smiled and spoke.
“It seems possessiveness isn’t exclusive to Alphas.”
“……”
“Considering how angry I felt seeing someone else’s pheromones on you.”
At those words, a warm wave of pheromones surged from Oscar’s shoulders.
It wasn’t overwhelming or aggressive—rather, it radiated pure joy.
“Wh-what should I do? Master, I… I’m just so happy.”
Oscar even pinched his cheek as if this overflowing emotion was something he was experiencing for the first time in his life. Then, he burst into laughter.
“Haha, hahaha! I’m so happy. I’m really happy, Master…”
Unable to contain his joy, Oscar paced back and forth through the corridor, then ran back to pull Cielo into a tight embrace. He kissed him repeatedly across his face.
“…I love you.”
The words came in a voice thick with long-suppressed emotion.
It was something he hadn’t been able to say since the day he manifested as an Alpha—the day he first embraced Cielo—out of fear of being rejected.
“I do too.”
Cielo reached out and gently kissed Oscar’s cheek.
“I believe I love you too.”
He couldn’t quite bring himself to say “I love you” out loud just yet, but his feelings were sincere.
Oscar, who had been listening with a joyful expression, suddenly widened his eyes.
“…Wait.”
“Oscar? What’s wrong?”
“The scent… I can’t smell the Omega anymore.”
Murmuring to himself, Oscar looked toward the room behind Cielo.
Just moments ago, the smell of an Omega in heat had been thick in the air.
But now, it felt like the whole world had been overtaken by the scent of acacia—
as if every trace of that other Omega’s pheromones had been completely erased.
“This is…”
Oscar realized it instinctively.
From now on, he would only be able to smell Cielo’s scent.
And this would serve as proof that he truly loved him.
***
The next morning.
Typhon sat watching Cielo and Oscar quietly having breakfast.
“…Tch.”
With a displeased expression, he tossed something in Cielo’s direction.
The object rolled noisily across the table and landed near his knees.
“A badge…?”
It was a badge engraved with the crest of the Esteban family.
“Wear it at formal events.”
“……”
“It’ll serve as proof that you’re officially recognized as part of Esteban.”
Typhon’s face made no attempt to hide his displeasure.
He looked torn between resentment and reluctant obligation.
“Thank you.”
Cielo picked up the badge with a slightly dazed expression, but couldn’t shake off the unpleasant feeling.
‘He’s recognizing me… this easily?’
Could he be scheming something?
But there was no way to read what Typhon was thinking.
“You’re now truly an Esteban. So you should know the truth that the legitimate heirs are already aware of.”
“……”
“Come with me.”
Wiping his mouth with a napkin, Typhon stood.
As Cielo moved to follow, Oscar, who had been sitting beside him, also rose naturally.
“You, alone.”
“……”
“I can’t share the secrets of the Esteban family with outsiders.”
No matter how it looked, it was clear he intended to separate the two.
As Cielo hesitated, Typhon scoffed and said:
“What, afraid something might happen?”
“……”
“Acting like there’s going to be some kind of incident in the house…”
Clicking his tongue, Typhon looked Cielo up and down.
Cielo, enduring that disdainful gaze, grabbed Oscar’s arm and replied:
“If anything dangerous happens, I’ll scream.”
“……”
“If not that, I’ll release pheromones.”
Cielo had no way of knowing what Typhon was planning—
only that whatever it was, it wasn’t likely to be in his favor.
But this wasn’t the time to back down.
“Come back safely, Master.”
“……”
“No matter what it takes, I’ll protect you.”
With those determined words, Oscar leaned in and softly kissed Cielo’s cheek before stepping back.
As if to say, you’re not alone, his glittering violet eyes gave Cielo strength.
“Then, I’ll go.”
Only after Cielo spoke those final words did he step toward Typhon, whose expression twisted in disgust.
