They weren’t welcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were cold, piercing, the kind of beauty that made men forget how to breathe, then regret ever remembering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was flawless: high cheekbones, full lips painted a deep, blood-like crimson that stood in stark contrast to her pale, almost translucent skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single silver strand had escaped to cling to the curve of her neck, drawing my gaze downward before I could stop myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore something that should have been illegal on a mountain this cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, form-fitting robe of the thinnest black silk clung to her body like a second skin, the fabric so sheer in places that the faint outline of her curves was impossible to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high collar framed her elegant throat, but it plunged dramatically between her breasts, revealing a tantalizing valley of smooth, pale flesh that rose and fell with each measured breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robe was slit high on both sides, exposing long, toned legs with every subtle shift of her weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delicate silver embroidery, cursed runes that pulsed faintly, traced along the edges, accentuating the swell of her hips and the narrow cinch of her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin silver chain belt hung loosely around her hips, the ends dangling and swaying gently like an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the freezing wind whipping around us, she looked untouched by the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, the chill only made her more alluring, her nipples faintly visible through the silk as the fabric molded to her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She radiated an aura of untouchable seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold, distant, yet so powerfully feminine that my blood heated instantly, a dangerous throb settling low in my gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aristarkh,\" she said, her voice flat and devoid of any real emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velvet over ice, smooth, low, and completely without maternal warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slid into my ears and wrapped around my spine like a caress that offered nothing in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swallowed, forcing my expression to remain neutral even as my gaze betrayed me for half a second, lingering on the way the silk shifted over her thighs when she took a single step closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother,\" I replied, my voice steadier than I felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word tasted strange on my tongue, heavy with darker intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I arrived, I activated Hades’ eyes silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint hypnotic pulse rippled outward, invisible to anyone without cursed perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept it subtle at first, just a gentle thread slipping into the edges of her mind, barely noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t flinch. Didn’t even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the corner of her crimson lips curved into the smallest, coldest smile I had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t amusement. It was simple recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve grown bold,\" she murmured, her tone still perfectly emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took another step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slit in her robe parted further, revealing the smooth, pale skin of her inner thigh all the way up to the soft curve where leg met hip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My pulse spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I forced myself to meet her eyes directly and let the hypnotic current of Hades’ eyes flow stronger, threading deeper into her thoughts, slowly reshaping them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been too long since I last saw you properly,\" I said evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I decided to come and visit my beautiful mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the word \"beautiful,\" something shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though I had spoken a forbidden word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still remembered what had happened the last time I tried something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, I was far more confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, just as her silver eyes flickered ever so slightly, a strange thought arose in her mind, planted by my power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He called me... beautiful again?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, taking in the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she would have dismissed them as meaningless or too abstract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for some strange reason, a faint, unfamiliar warmth stirred in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Strange...’ Elizabeth muttered internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly, feeling as though something was off, but unable to pinpoint what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped closer and stopped just an arm’s length away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close enough that I could smell the faint, intoxicating scent of frost and night-blooming flowers clinging to her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close enough that if I reached out, my fingers could brush the silk over her waist and feel the heat radiating beneath the thin fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth went dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold aura around her clashed violently with the burning heat pooling low in my veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was my mother, elegant, untouchable, terrifyingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet every inch of her body screamed seduction in the most lethal way possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way the silk hugged the full swell of her breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way her hips curved invitingly beneath that loose silver belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way her long, toned legs looked like they were made to wrap around a man’s waist and pull him in deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed harder with Hades’ eyes, layering the influence gradually, making the warmth in her chest spread slowly, making her body begin to betray her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thought bloomed in her head, soft and unbidden:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why does his voice sound... pleasing today? Why am I noticing the width of his shoulders... the intensity in his eyes?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth’s silver gaze remained cold on the surface, but I could sense the subtle crack forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly, another strand of silver hair slipping forward to brush against the exposed skin above her plunging neckline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should not speak such words lightly,\" she said, her voice still flat and emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there was the faintest hesitation beneath it now, a microscopic delay that only I could detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let my gaze drift slowly over her body, deliberate, unhurried, before returning to her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hypnotic pulse deepened, weaving obedience and subtle longing into her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother... you are beautiful,\" I repeated, voice low and steady, reinforcing the suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More beautiful than I remembered. It feels... right to say it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new wave of warmth flooded her mind, stronger this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pale cheeks didn’t flush, her control was too perfect for that, but I felt the shift inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet, growing urge to hear more, to let the words sink deeper, to allow the strange heat between her thighs to linger instead of dismissing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This feeling... it’s wrong. But why does it feel... acceptable when he says it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood there motionless, silver eyes locked on mine, the thin black silk still clinging to every curve, her nipples faintly outlined against the fabric from the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver chain at her hips swayed once as she shifted her weight, the movement drawing my eyes downward again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took one small step closer, closing the distance until only a breath separated us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hypnotic current flowed steadily now, eroding her emotional walls bit by bit, planting seeds of submission and forbidden desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, Mother,\" I murmured, voice soft yet commanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you missed me at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-08T09:38:13.133Z",1,"novelbin.me","0183c7cba3f4cb2ed3924db31bb72bfd34c27ddbc2b8eef6f9cc945435168da6","10x-rewards-conquering-women-and-taming-beauties-chapter-74","10x-rewards-conquering-women-and-taming-beauties-chapter-72",119,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F10x-rewards-conquering-women-and-taming-beauties-cover.jpg"]
