Love is an inner struggle, where the heart always tries to defeat reason, nostalgia rises strongly, but then it also falls due to pain...

- Nguyen Nhat Anh | "Crying in trees" (2013)

Love. He couldn't understand it.

 He swore he would never let himself get caught by it. 

Merciless understands the nature of love is to exchange sweet words with each other every time they wake up, to cherish their loved one, and to be willing to sacrifice for the other half regardless of any conditions.

Ah, he understood the last lines, but is such a love even right? Just like the two people who gave birth to him, the people for whom the title "Father" was just an everyday, meaningless way of addressing him that he often blurted out. Their love has been distorted and misguided for a long time. If they don't pay attention to the inconsistencies and just look at the outer shell, it seems like the two are in love.

But alas.. that beauty..

That appearance is definitely a treasure sealed in the deep sea. In the treasure chest are two noble purple Violet Jedeite, beautiful but mysterious and quiet. Emotions are completely separated from the eyes. Although the eyes are bright, they are natural light, not soul light. That light made people torn between looking more into her eyes and turning away. It's not hard to believe that those eyes belong to a lady's face, although still pale and haggard, they are tinged with the color of desert rain, with a straight nose and lips that seem to be made just for kissing. . It's all a harmonious synthesis between gentleness and cruelty, core life and innocence.

But that person doesn't know how great his feelings are for her.

- Lux.. Yes, I did, but was it really my fault?

He did not want to admit that the crime was his alone.

- It's not my fault he was born in this family..

Angst's death was an order. Father gave him that order. Although he knew he was not favored like his eldest brother Damien Oblique, he still had Father's trust. Father knows that his youngest son Lucifer always does not disappoint him.

- It's not my fault.. no one needs him.

Thud. A strong kick made him unable to react and he could only collapse to the ground helplessly. Merciless still forced a smile, he had to maintain his characteristic smile, so that no one would have to see the weak side of this estranged person.

His goddess.. don't.. Please.. Don't kill his heart like that... Don't look at him with such disgusting eyes, it hurts a lot..

Bright agreed to work for him, but why did this dictator still have such a great invisible worry in his heart? The most unsightly obstacle has been crushed...

Could it be? If he refers to "hereditary from father to daughter".

Midnight looked at the soulless purple eyes similar to his "before", he immediately understood that Merciless was suppressing some kind of emotion. It was a completely strange look that Midnight had never known.

- Merciless.

Hearing the command, Merciless suddenly gathered everything inside, making the strange person that "Father" had just seen as if he had never existed. He turned towards him and bowed respectfully.

- My corporation, my organization. All those who are useless, in the way, and anti-type must be destroyed.

He nodded as neatly as a machine.

- For the sake of the organization, all opposing groups need to collapse. Merciless, the existence of Bright's eldest daughter #### must be erased.

This time, his neck stiffened and he did not nod down again. Father's index finger stuck out, pointing at his chest, just like a judgment from above falling on the heads of ancient sinners.

- And the task of finishing off Lady Lux will be assigned to you, Merciless. You will never disappoint me.

Having finished speaking, cold, cruel pale blue eyes closed tightly on Merciless, closely monitoring his every smallest expression.In front of those pupils that were like two silver bullets piercing through an armored tank, Merciless's expression remained unchanged, as if his order was just to make a cup of coffee. He bowed respectfully again, placing his hand on his chest.

- Yes, Father.
