A blessing in disguise: Part V

Charles was speechless and sat in a chair looking bewildered. George then sat beside him and translated the last line as he sighed: "I curse you with knowledge. What is done shall not be undone, for whenever the chosen one who rises to power hears this truth, he shall be bound by it. Death and life shall never mix, as water and oil never do. As George spoke the last words, Charles felt something change within him, and could almost feel the mark the curse had left on his soul.

Then George stood up and said, "This is not the end. This last piece was given to me by the family of your bride. It was one of the symbolic gifts given to me after your grandfather's death. They thought I shared his taste for antiques. George paused emotionally and said, "Your grandfather used Soul Shifting to identify the family with the right ancestry and draw them to us. Charles now understood the reason for his sudden death. He said sadly, "The ultimate sin demands the ultimate price. Your in-laws have never understood what this piece is because only the natural leaders of the Lucreus can read it. We are Lucia's direct descendants, therefore our powers are far superior.

Then George stamped his foot on the floor and the last piece rose. Then he translated: "Lucia couldn't bear what she had done and decided to erase the memory of all the others. She then sacrificed her life by casting a final blessing. George smiled as he translated this part: "I will rise again when the hatred of those who betrayed me has reached its peak, and I will right all wrongs. There will be signs of my coming. The first will be the power of love mixing oil with water".

Then he turned to his son, his eyes full of optimism, and said: "This child .... of yours could be the child of prophecy. All the signs are reunited. Since she is still bound by the spell through her Winstor blood, we should never reveal any of this to her. She must find out for herself.

Charles looked at him and said questioningly:" To become head of our family, she must be my last living heir. George looked away and said weakly, "That ... is .... correct, my son.

Charles stood up, looking empty inside, and said, "I'll never let her take anyone away from me again. To hell with that prophecy. Since she's of my blood, I won't kill her, but I won't recognise her. Do with her as you will." George said pleadingly, "It is our duty to right the wrong. I have tirelessly fought to stay the head of the High Council.... I have married a woman I never loved just to give the prophecy a chance. We must all make sacrifices.". Charles summoned the black light, "Amateratsu or Devourer of Souls", and his father fell to his knees, coughing blood. Then he said coldly, "Do as you wish with this child. My children are all I have left. I will protect them even if I have to kill you, Father. I will be to my children the father you never were to me.". He let his father go and said:" Let's never speak of this again. His father laid down and sighs as he said:" Karma is indeed a pain.".
