Chapter 559: Nightmare (7)
Since entering this dream, Eugene had harbored the same question.
The first dream: a cozy, peaceful family home, a warm kitchen with gentle heat.
That dream had been Hamel’s ideal future, envisioned during his time in the Devildom. After killing all the Demon Kings and ending the war, if he returned home intact — this was how he wanted to live.
He had thought it a provocation, a deception, and a mockery. If that were the case, Noir’s stratagem had been brilliant. What she presented as dreams were the futures Hamel, Sienna, and Anise had envisioned.
But was it merely a provocation? He couldn’t help but question his assumption.
Noir’s fabricated dreams always starred her and Eugene as the main characters. Sienna, Anise, Kristina, or anyone else barely mattered in the dreams crafted by Noir. They did not exist.
It was always a dream shared by just Eugene and Noir. Even when Eugene shattered the dream in denial, Noir quickly recreated another, similar in content, if not in form.
And she asked him. She asked him if he liked the current dream. She even pleaded. All of this intensified the doubts Eugene harbored.
Noir Giabella seemed as if… she did not wish for death.
