Chapter 1108 Confession (Part Two)

"So, one day, I found that man at a restaurant I frequented."

The man was very handsome and seemed polite and refined. From my personal perspective, I had a good impression of him. My first thought was: if my sister wasn't a descendant of An Gang's family, but an ordinary person, she would definitely be able to live a happy life with him.

He knew I was Linna's brother, so he was very respectful from the start, which made me a little embarrassed to speak about what I was about to say.

In order to help him understand the importance of An Gang's family mission, I initially only told him about the extraordinary. At that time, the extraordinary was known in Japan as Shinto and Onmyodo, etc. I used the Onmyodo school as an analogy to explain it to him.

Then, in order to completely gain his trust, I made a way for him, a mere mortal, to see extraordinary phenomena. I then took him to see the little demons lurking in the nearby mountains, so that he would fully understand that gods and demons really exist in this world.

So afterwards, I told him the story of how our ancestors sealed away the ancient demon in ancient times, and how the Angang family is still working hard to seal away the demon and ensure peace in the world.

Upon hearing this, he excitedly told me that he would take good care of Linna and also shoulder the family responsibility of maintaining peace in the world, regarding the mission of the Angang family as his own.

I was deeply moved when I heard this, and I knew it was time. So I told him about the importance of An Gang's family bloodline in sealing away demons.

I said, "This has always been the way of the An Gang family. If I had other sisters, I wouldn't have to force Linna. But now, Linna and I are the only ones qualified to produce a suitable heir for the family, so I must marry Linna."

He was stunned when he heard what I said.

I immediately added, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to break you two up. I only see Linna as a younger sister, and I only acted that way because I had no other choice. But Linna loves you very much, so I thought of a solution."
I told him about a series of methods, including hypnosis and faking.

At first, he couldn't accept it, but he was unwilling to give up on Linna. Instead, he made up his mind to fight against the Angang family's rules together with Linna.

I knew he was just blinded by his emotions, so I showed him my special ability. When I swept a small patch of woods with a wave of my hand, and then said that there were many people like me in the family, as well as my father's character and determination, he fell silent.

I grabbed his shoulders and said to him, "I believe in you, and I hope you won't give up on Linna! Linna loves you so much, and I hope she can find happiness!"

For love, can't even this much be endured?

I gave him two choices: the first was for him to leave Linna voluntarily, and the second was to accept my proposal. If he revealed any information to Linna, it would cause great harm to both him and Linna.

I wasn't threatening him; I just knew my father would do that.

In those days, there were still some places in Japan where people had the bad habit of climbing at night. Coupled with certain social customs, this matter was not so unacceptable, especially after being given the moral high ground of national peace.

The An Gang family did indeed have dealings with the Emperor, and the Emperor's family was an extraordinary family with a longer history and stricter rules than the An Gang family. After I explained this to him, a feeling of loyalty and national honor took hold of his heart.

He agreed without hesitation, and promised to stay with Linna forever even so, and thanked me for coming up with this idea.

I told him, "We're all the same. I also have a woman I like, a childhood friend who grew up with me and Linna. I want to be with her someday."
Afterwards, we reminisced for a long time before parting ways. A few days later, I heard that my father had also met the other person, and had brought a professional hypnotist to observe him and learn about his various habits. In this way, Linna and I got married under very meticulous planning. Although there were still many minor oversights, thanks to the hypnotist's skills, Linna did not notice anything amiss.

I think I can just get through this period of time.

But for a long time afterward, I was unable to contact my brother-in-law again. When I asked my father, I learned that he had already killed him.

I don't understand why my father did this. Why did he still kill him after we had already talked things out?

But at the time, I couldn't think too much. All I could think about was how to explain it to Linna in the future. I even imagined faking my own death as her so that Linna would believe that her husband was really dead.

In this way, I can return to my true identity, and this play can come to a peaceful end.

But I was wrong. Perhaps it was because too much time had passed and the hypnotic effect had decreased, or perhaps it was because Linna's subconscious awareness had become stronger. One night, at the most inopportune moment, she suddenly realized that I was not that person.

I pretended she was wrong and tried to get away with it. At the time, I really thought I had gotten away with it because Linna didn't say anything more, and we spent the night peacefully like that.

The next few days seemed peaceful, but I still felt that Linna was acting strangely. Then one evening, when I returned to the house, Linna had already hanged herself.

She said nothing, and no one noticed anything amiss beforehand; she calmly chose this terrible path.

It was in her suicide note that I learned she had guessed everything. She knew who I was, but at the time she only cared about how her real lover was doing. She didn't even bother to inquire around; after thinking for a while, she concluded that the man was dead.

Looking at it this way, Linna actually understands my father's character better than I do.

She mentioned our child in her suicide note, but only crossed out one name. Her words to me were extremely harsh and insulting, calling me a beast, saying I wasn't human, and questioning how I felt when we were intimate.

I completely understand her anger, but I wasn't saddened by her scolding because I felt I had wronged her. However, at the very end, I saw her write:

Have you read this far? Are you angry? Do you feel wronged? Or do you regret it?
Brother, I don't hate you at all. I know everything you've done for me. But, elder brother, how can someone without a heart know the love that someone with a heart desires?

Brother, you're so pitiful.

I don't understand this sentence. I feel sorry for Linna, but at the time I felt that I didn't deserve pity. I am the eldest son of the An Gang family and I have an obligation to shoulder the family's mission.

It wasn't until later that I realized I had misunderstood Linna's meaning from the beginning.
