Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547: The new beginning

Summer came and passed, just like the many seasons that had quietly crept by. The seasons turned as if flipping the pages of a well-worn book, autumn arrived, painting the world in shades of amber and gold, leaves falling and swirling gracefully to the ground.

Winter followed with its quiet chill, frosting the trees and fields in delicate silver, and then spring burst forth, filling the air with the scent of blossoms and the promise of new life. Years flowed like this, each season marking the passage of time, until the children had grown taller and older.

Five years passed, but within those years, many things had happened.

The mountainside that had once been nameless was given a name and had become a small town called Velmere, with the Dagon’s house being the largest of all the houses there.

The Dagon family’s life went on in their home, they had everything: family love, support for each other, and a house that never knew a dull moment. Their home was always open to Ereves, who came more often than not to share dinners with them. His relationship with Rohan wasn’t like that of a father and son, but there was a huge difference from how they were before.

However, despite the happiness they had, one problem remained, making their lives incomplete: Rav and Angel’s studying to cure corruption.

Belle’s memories might have returned, but she had no access to the land of the dead anymore, and because she had been erased from anything known as the Reaper, her children had no access to that realm either, they had only the blood within them and the powers to perceive the dead.

The only thing Belle was left with was the knowledge of her past as a reaper, and even that knowledge wasn’t of much use in curing the corruption. At best, it only gave her the techniques needed to help him last a little longer whenever Angel temporarily turned him back into a normal being.

During those five years, Rohan had done everything possible to support his son in learning ways to cure Rav and bring him back home, since they couldn’t rely on anything involving the Reapers.

However, when Angel performed his first heart-changing on animals, it failed terribly. Determined to train him further, Rohan decided to let Angel practice on humans. His son was strictly against using people, asking what if they had families and he ended up killing them.

"I don’t want to kill innocent people," he had said.

Because of that, Rohan went after men from a bandit group who had attacked and ruthlessly killed innocent people. Only then did the boy agree to use humans, because to him, good people didn’t deserve to die, while the bad could go to hell for all anyone cared. So, for the boy’s sake, Rohan wisely chose criminals instead.

Angel performed the procedure for an entire day, following every step he had learned, but in the end, the two men died, as the heart-changing did not succeed.

Angel cried that day over his failure. He had studied so hard and truly believed he was becoming an expert, yet despite everything, he did not give up hope. His father continued to investigate ways to help him gain more knowledge, and eventually, they learned about a certain academy overseas that trained young people to become great physicians who operated on humans.

Angel was immediately interested when Rohan told him about it, but because the distance was so far from their land, Rohan said they would think it over and decide whether he would go or not. Until then, Angel was to continue his practice.

The more he failed, the more it became clear that he would truly have to leave home to learn, because the sooner he went, the sooner his chances would improve. But while he was caught between his studies and the weight of such a life-changing decision, other things were happening, and one in particular was about to break his heart.

Angel, now looking like a young man in his twenties despite being just eight years old half demon, walked into the bedroom, where his mother was talking and weeping with Enny, whose name he could now pronounce correctly but still preferred to call her just that.

He knew why they were crying in each other’s embrace, for he too was holding back his tears with great effort. His throat burned, and his heart constricted, but he held himself upright like the man he was becoming, even though at times he wished he were still just a boy.

Boys could cry and sound cute, while a grown man looked and sounded awfully miserable, his voice too deep for comfort. Being a man was scarier than he wanted to admit, and although his father tried to explain many things to him, he missed the days when he was smaller.

"Mama..." he called, his adult voice cracking. He cleared his throat and said again when they broke apart from each other to look at him, both with tears streaming down their faces. "Enny," Angel said, his voice deep and husky from the emotions burning in his chest. "I wish there was another way to make you not leave us..."

Evenly, still holding her best friend who had become more than a friend over the years, wiped her cheeks, though more tears streamed down. She smiled at Angel, recognizing his effort to hide his emotions behind a blank expression.

"Angel," Evenly said with a bitter smile, taking in the young man before her who had grown so big that she hadn’t even kept track of when it happened. He was almost as tall as his father, with a similar facial structure, only his skin was ivory, and his nose a little longer and thinner.
