Goetia knows and he isn’t upset about it anymore; he was just curious. After all, he had used his magic to keep himself alive, so Solomon could of done the same.
Still, listening to Roman, the Beast could tell that his husband had felt trapped. It was hard being a king and Romani had done a good job, though it had taken a toll on him.
“…If I had known how unhappy you were, I would of taken you away from it all,” he said, “Leave Rehoboam in charge and go see the world. We would of travelled every land, seen the sights, and lived a simple life if that is what you desired. Though… I suppose that is what you did in this life.. before I messed it up…”
He looked away, because he had messed it up. Like a child wanting to help their mother bake, only to accidently drop the mix all over the floor, Goetia had made an even bigger mess then the Alien God.
Maybe, if he had done nothing; if he had remained quiet and out of the way, Roman and Chaldea would of see the Alien God clearly and would of taken care of it.
Perhaps… humanity had never needed him in the first place.
A smile slowly spread on Romani’s face as he was listening the Beast picturing what they could have done together. A sweet but somehow painful smile. But at least he calmed down, so he stopped fidgeting as he started talking. “That all sounds good, but Goetia, you know that we couldn’t have done that. I--”
Looking up at his husband Romani noticed how the tables have turned and now Goetia seemed distressed. The doctor paused, rethinking his words while he reached out to gently interlace his fingers with Goetia’s and hold his hand.
“I was needed elsewhere. Our people needed me to guide them, to protect them. And Goetia, I knew that was my destiny the moment I’ve learned how to use my clairvoyance at a young age. That’s why I’d never complain about my past life. So please, my love, don’t feel bad about it. Even if you’d have suggested to run away at that time I’d have said no.”
