Volume 7 Chapter 57 : The Killing Games Arc Part III ; Act 15 , The Faint Dream.

Is this a dream? If it is then, I just want to wake up?

Various thoughts flashed through the boy's mind as he sat on the throne of white facing another white throne peering at the events being shown in front of him as if they were just memories.

I don't want to be controlled by someone.

I don't want them to be harmed because of me.

I don't want to be closed away watching these scenes in this white world.

I don't want to leave them.

I don't want a curse such as me to be a burden to my kingdom or my wives.

I don't want to be erased from this world just yet.

The only thing he yearned for at that moment was;

'I want to be in control--so vanish from it this instant.'

After seeing the image of Elize being injured by him--he gritted his teeth in.

The images of the demons, put down and made to kneel before him were a scar to him.

Just as he was closing his eyes because of the emotional backlash - - a silhouette appeared behind him but he could not move because he was held by white chains.

"Pathetic isn't it?" the voice was a simple reflection of his own.

"What do you mean by that?" he decided to play along.

"All of them are still looking for a reason for why you would do this," he implied mostly Keith, Asmodeus and Julia.

"I didn't ask to be controlled by a ghost---ues I didn't?" he answered as if he was also questioning himself.

HAHAHA!! HAHAHA!!

The voice behind him simply broke into an array of laughter.

"Quit messing around--you selfish king," the voice's easy going tone turned to something of a terrifying one.

"Screw you - - your just a ghost who doesn't know how it feels to care for another person."

"..."

The selfish king's calm state of mind erupted into an unstable one that couldn't comprehend any sense of logic at that moment.

HAHAHA!! HAHAHA!!

The voice again peered into a deep state of laughter and soon dropped a bombshell.

" Hey selfish king - - allow me to inform you that you are lying to yourself about becoming a knight just like your father and brothers told you."

The voice continued as Aine broke into tears for the first time ever since he lost the person who truly saw him as a knight - - his mother.

" Your an indiscriminate curse on everyone - - that's why you want to die. "

He quietly listened as tears flew down his face in this faint dream.

"And not only that - - you want to fight to the bitter end, and in the end - - die all alone."

"A--Am - - - sorry everyone," he spoke to them but he couldn't be heard, his words only remained as vestiges that would soon disappear.

"From this point on - - I will take control so just sit back and I will do it for you since - - I am an image of you."

The voice sounded to be sad also but Aine refuted to adhere to his words.

"No - - I will take control."

.....

"I will destroy all of them that oppose us."

"I will destroy all curses like me."

"I will destroy my self righteous image and become the world's enemy."

"I will breed death among the living."

Aine unaware of this, as the tears disappeared leaving only an emotionless face ready to become a machine, the person behind the voice sat behind the white throne on the white floor to show he had Aine's back in a profound way as Aine continued as he gazed at the white room's ceiling.

"I will become a merciless king."

"So?" the voice spoke excitedly.
