Chapter 3: It's not the end?

As much as the saintess looks confused the duke looks more. But it's not like I will care about that when I am here for my son.

“ How did it felt to remove someone from your life? after using them to your fullest? " I said with a vile smile. The smile which never have anybody seen from the graceful Duchess. The smile that can make someone shiver at their place no matter who it is. Yeah it is what it is. The pure blooded descendant of the earth deity, Bertha.

As soon as I called out Bertha's name my entire body started to react and my body became larger like the big statues. But the more my body grew the transparent it got. My whole attire changed to those of Greek goddess while crown appeared on the top of my head. While the halo coming from it became brighter and brighter.

“ Duchess!? ” The duke called. But he did forgot that since the moment he took away my son from me I was never his Duchess.

“Duchess, Please calm down. We could talk it out!." Said the saintess while being shocked with the situation. Yeah she didn't imagined it. Neither did I imagined that I have to show this side of me to them. But now that you encounter a situation like this you want to talk this out? what do you even want to talk about? it's not like you can bring my son back to live! Even if you do so I will not forgive you for what you did to my son!

Goddess Bertha, I couldn't became the goddess you imagined me to be. Instead am harming your subjects. Please punish me as you like after this. I will accept it without hesitating.

Claramae,My child.I understand your rage for them as a mother and I don't intend to interfere either. As much as I love you my child I would do the same if I were you. No matter what, I will still choose you my child. My Claramae.

It's as if the heavy burden of my heart subsided and now I can breath the last breath of my life. I chanted the curse of deity of earth to put all of them binded with this guilty for their entire life.

"In respect to my god I put the curse of lifetime on you the god himself and the people involved in my son's death. you people could never get what you want or desire. May the fairies of sorrow bless you with the sorrow you could never erase in your entire life."

As soon as licked my curse on them a seal appeared on each and everyone of them including the god, the saintess,the duke and whoever were included in the murder plan of my son. My large body started to Shrink back to its original size while at the same time the emperor came to the temple who seems to heard everything.

“ What nonsense is this!? If you were the descendant of the Bertha then you should have said it so that you could be an use for this empire! but instead you curse the people who are protecting your homeland!? Even your husband!?"

“I only cursed those who were involved in the death of my son, Your majesty. What a mother would do for her kid and nothing else." With the rage the emperor talks the colder my reply came. Am done with my curse binding anyways so it doesn't matter if they kill me.

“Duke"

“...Yes, your majesty." The duke who always seemed unbothered, Today that same duke seems to be shaken.

“Send her to her son." Said the Emperor in rage but when he didn't got a reply he repeated that same sentence again.

“...Yes." Atlast the duke replies. while his hands were shaking.

As soon as the emperor got his answer he went back to his palace with a grin on his face and It suddenly started to dizzle. The clothes I wore weren't dried yet and again it's soaked now. The last rain on my body feels quite cold in itself. I stood as it while the duke's face became more and more gloomy while he takes every step towards me.

“Why are you hesitating?" I said to encourage him to kill me in a single move but he seems more distracted for some reason. Meanwhile the saintess fell on her four and started to shake in fear which I can't decord.

The duke stood near me and showed his sword as he did at his room previously. But there would be no saving this time. I grabbed the sword and pushed it into my heart. My suddenly action made the duke shocked while he was about to just pull that sword out but I pushed my body towards him while the sword went throughout my body and I fall on the duke.

The rain stopped but not the blood coming out from my body. I shouldn't be able to feel anything in my body now but I still could feel the warmth hug of the duke. I guess it's the first and the last hug I could ever have in my life. For sure it is.

Josh Didn't I told you? mom is coming soon to you. I hope you didn't wait long my son. I thought and closed my eyes in the arms I didn't dreamt of. It's the real end of our contract duke Devior Ré Neleon. Have a distraceful disquieting life ahead,my first crush.

And then I closed my eyes forever. Everything seemed dark around me, Is this hell? Maybe it is. Since am no different from those people who killed my son's childhood. I kept laying there in a fetal position while hugging myself and murmuring to myself without even asking for help or screaming. Just like I accepted my fate and I saw this coming.

“ ...Claramae. "

An anonymous voice came from somewhere I couldn't locate, The voice coming is so enchanting to my ears that feels like the voice is coated with honey. A male voice deep as the bottom of ocean but the weight of the voice is light as feather. To check out the source of the voice I opened my eyes and found myself surrounded by light everywhere, there isn't even a tiny bit of darkness anywhere around here. The first thing that came into my mind is 'Is my son here?' I look around myself to check if I could see my son around here but to my surprise I found the source of light instead. I couldn't see the face of the person because of the halo light coming from them.

“Are you the one who called my name now?" I asked with a vigilance in my voice but the reply coming from them made me shocked instead,“ Shouldn't you be asking that who am I?... indeed the successor of Bertha. " Says the guy infront of me. Blinding me with the light of his halo.

I look at him being dumbfounded but the person laughs it off instead. Suddenly I noticed a green circle light on that person's hand as if a curse mark, which is same as the one I binded with the saintess and the duke... so this person...

“The god...?"

“Hmm...that 'The' seems quite exaggerating... just call me god instead. Since we have no name like the deities of the world."

Rather than a god he seems like a scammer if I say but I would believe it since Bertha's curse have appeared on him. Rather than that...

“What's the deal is about me being here? Am not taking my curse back and since you are a god it's more complicated."

"Why is it that even the way you speak is same as Bertha...?"

The silence after that filled the entire air around us. Rather than the deal the god is comparing me with Bertha? Seems like they had some deep bonding...but whatever it is doesn't concerns me.

“So what's the point?" I asked with an uninterested look. but it seems like he is too lost in the last topic. So I called him out again, “God?" And hopefully he heard me.

”Sorry for the distraction....So the thing is I know that you lost your son in this process but there is still a secret you need to find. After that you wouldn't be angry anymore."

“I? the dead finding out the secret?I don't wish to."

" Even though it involves your son?"

The one I wanted to hear about!,"My son...?" I asked with a quivering voice. Just like I heard something which is out of the blue. But my son,josh! why did he called my son?

''You will understand it soon. Just remember that I will lay the flowers in your way. Take it as a payment for wounding your motherly heart."

“Wha-!?"

The words didn't left my mouth yet and I suddenly fell down in dizziness. Payment he said...so he wanted to kill my soul after my body? god can really be wicked. What difference does it makes better humans and gods now? Hah... Everything blacked out at the end.

The chirping of birds outside of window became more louder while the chitter and chatter of maids could be heard outside of door.

Just like back then when Josh was just ten years old and they had just started to teach him self decipline and successors classes in the duchy. Since it's the vacation time at royal academy back then. That was the most hurtful time for him since the teachers started to abuse him but I got to know about it after he was a full fledged man...Those scars on the his back told everything before I could hear it from him.

Thinking of those times I opened my eyes yet again only to find myself at not an unknown place.
