Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

“I go to church every day to confess my sins, and my wife joined me in prayer. Eventually, the Father God heard our earnest pleas, and a few months later, my wife was pregnant. The child born was indeed a healthy boy, and those who slandered my wife fell silent. Do you remember the name I gave my first son?”

“Matthew.”

“Yes… Matthew… Its meaning is ‘Gift of God.’ I firmly believe that my wife and I are favored by God, and this child is the perfect gift that Father God has brought to us… I may not be a perfect father, but my love for Matthew surpasses that for my other two sons. Not only because he is my heir, but his arrival breathed new life into my Maria. What a gentle gift from Father God for us…”

Duke Borgia reminisced about the past.

“You’ve met Matthew. He has been exceptionally talented since he was young, understanding magic and etiquette with just a little guidance… He was a good child, not a cause of worry…”

This was not just an exaggeration from a father’s perspective; Duke Merovingian knew his assessment was absolutely accurate. Duke Borgia’s eldest son was the most promising among the younger generation, believed to carry on the legacy of a hero of the Kingdom of Mikel.

Duke Borgia suddenly changed the topic.

“I heard from my servants… that your wife is pregnant…”

“Ah, just three months along.”

“Congratulations. You’re going to be a father. I am the head of the Borgia family, the lord of the Duke Obi’s domain, but also just an ordinary father… When I take off my armor, away from official duties, and return to my castle, I am no different from any man, longing for a harmonious family, to enjoy a happy life with my wife and son… Haha… Hahaha…”

Duke Borgia laughed bitterly.

“Matthew, my child, went to Father God before me.”

“…”

“The daughter of the king… the kingdom’s second princess… I thought it was a good marriage… I doomed my son. But I don’t blame the king, his majesty must have been unaware…”

The bloody wedding, Duke Borgia’s eldest son, became a sacrifice to the [Child of the Demon].

“I am no saint. To forget everything, to pretend nothing happened… I can’t do it… I hate the [Child of the Demon] who took my son’s life, and I hate the [Demon King] even more. I swear never to forgive any [Child of the Demon]…! But I can’t seek revenge, I have to be strong, to comfort my wife.”

Losing his own son, the most grief-stricken were Duke and Duchess Borgia.

“My Maria aged a decade overnight, always in tears, unable to believe that Matthew, who happily chatted with every guest at the wedding, now lies eternally silent… Oh, you’ll understand when you become a father… The unexpected loss of a beloved child hosts demons in your heart…”

“Amalirilis is a [Child of the Demon]?”

Duke Merovingian finally understood why Duke Borgia was so focused on Amalirilis. The grief-stricken Duke Borgia would never forgive any [Child of the Demon]. It can’t be hastily concluded that Duke Borgia is displacing his anger; even if this was made public, from the public’s perspective, Duke Borgia is exterminating a menace.

The only question is, how did Duke Borgia determine who is a [Child of the Demon]? Only holy magic can identify them.

“Before Matthew and the second princess’s wedding, I took them camping in the countryside. That time, we encountered some active undead. Just some small fries, they didn’t harm us at all. But for some reason, those mindless undead gravitated towards the second princess, their gestures almost like devout pilgrims. Amalirilis was the same… Zombies surrounded her, not attacking her, who couldn’t even use magic, but worshipped her instead.”

Duke Borgia witnessed this scene.

The state of the undead was identical to when he first encountered the second princess.

Amalirilis is a Child of the Demon.

Realizing this fact, Duke Borgia himself didn’t notice how hideous his expression was at that moment.

[Child of the Demon].

They should not exist in this world. Enraged, Duke Borgia severely wounded Amalirilis, not expecting her to steal a space-transportation scroll from the castle.

“I heard… a girl named Anastasia protected Amalirilis. She probably doesn’t know what she’s shielding. The second princess’s curse has manifested, what about Amalirilis’s curse? What I need to do… is to eliminate Amalirilis before her curse fulfills.”

So that’s it.

Duke Borgia, the one who cannot forgive the Child of the Demon.

“…

But that’s not the only reason.”

Duke Merovingian spoke softly.

I know you too well, and it also doesn’t explain the undead in the Lunyuan Castle.

After a few breaths, Duke Borgia’s hoarse voice echoed again in the room.

“I think Matthew, he must have gone to heaven.”

“Yes.”

“He may have died young, but he lived faithfully following the teachings of the Abrahamic religion. But John… I named my second son John, to thank the merciful God for giving us Matthew and then adding another healthy son to our family. After Matthew left, John comforted my wife Maria, saying, ‘Mother, you still have me, I will take on my brother’s responsibilities’… He was the child who looked most like Maria, inheriting Maria’s tolerance. I realized I had always been unfair to John, always neglecting him…”

“…”

“The scripture says, the souls of the fallen cannot enter heaven. John, to protect injured warriors, was bitten and had his blood sucked by the [Vampire King]… Oh… my poor child… He didn’t die as a human, but in a nearly half-transformed vampire state, and I ended his life with my own hands… His soul wasn’t purified by holy magic, he didn’t receive salvation…”

Duke Merovingian waited for Duke Borgia’s reasoning.

“I say… do you know, how to go to hell?”
