His features were perfectly symmetrical. His dark hair shimmered like black ichor, thick and luxurious, falling just above his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his eyes... those blood-red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the kind of eyes you didn't forget. Like drowning in a sea—not of water, but of blood. Deep. Haunting. Beautiful in the most terrifying way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look handsome, my dear,\" Sarena's voice rang out as she stepped into the room, followed—of course—by Daela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden smiled softly. \"Thank you, Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to his sister, expecting nothing. Just wanted to tease her a little with a cocky grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Handsome,\" Daela said, nodding seriously, her face as deadpan as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sister was unfairly adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost gave in to the urge to pinch her cheeks, but he liked having both arms attached, so he held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Sister. Wasn't expecting that from you, really\" he said with a soft laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what even he didn't expect—was that Sarena looked more shocked than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Daela well. That was her daughter, after all. And she was certain—Daela had never complimented a single soul in this house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She really does love her brother...' Sarena thought, and a small smile tugged at her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing more beautiful to a mother than seeing her children love each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ready now?\" Sarena asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden turned back to the mirror, studied himself once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarena and Daela both shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden had changed since returning from his Trial. More mature. More composed. Stronger, no doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he'd also unlocked some buried parts of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one—his ego.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden was painfully aware of how good he looked. Watching him admire himself in the mirror too long made you want to punch him square in that perfect face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither Sarena nor Daela had the heart to ruin the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's my cute little boy,' Sarena thought warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's my cute little brother,' Daela echoed silently, the love in her heart as real as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both lost causes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The carriage is waiting outside,\" Sarena said. \"You'll be escorted by guards, but they'll stop at the door. Inside, you'll be alone with the heirs of Cerveau and Elamin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused. Her tone dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you understand where I'm going with this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden nodded, his face growing serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew. She couldn't protect him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Daela, ever herself, added only one word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden gave a small, firm nod. \"I'll take care of myself. Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Kaden—every heir invited to this meeting was already on their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris Elamin stepped into her multi-colored carriage, her princess-blue robes trailing behind her like waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers sparkled with rings—gems of every shape and color. Around her neck, a chain with a glowing blue ruby rested just above her heart. She was radiant. Regal. A walking statement of royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside her carriage, as she sat down and gathered her dress, her excitement betrayed her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may depart,\" she told the driver with anticipation in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded. \"At once, my lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea Thornspire, with her white hair and ruby-red eyes, wore no jewels. No rings. No necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a simple white dress that matched her hair and amplified her calm, quiet beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression wasn't blank like Daela's—just neutral. Still. But her feelings were there, subtle and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped into her red-and-white carriage with grace, like a queen walking into her throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can go now, mister,\" she said softly, with respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roger, my lady!\" the driver chirped as the horses charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Nuke Cerveau was already at the meeting place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A private restaurant located in the heart of the stronghold—completely reserved for the day. Not a single soul allowed near without his say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat outside in a large wooden chair, legs crossed, back relaxed, dressed in a tailored brown suit that hugged his lean frame perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head rested on one hand, the other holding an open book. He read calmly. Patiently. As if the entire event was an afterthought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood his maid, Sari , completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without looking up, he asked, \"Do you think I'll get what I want today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sari didn't reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't even know what he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke smiled faintly. \"You don't even know what I want, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his book slowly and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's exactly what I'm aiming for. To get what I want... without anyone knowing what I wanted to begin with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned, gaze sharp now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To master that skill... and test it on these wonderfully talented heirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think, Sari?\" he asked, eyes still distant. \"Am I being ambitious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sari bowed her head without hesitation. \"Never, young master. Even if their status matches yours... they are not your equals. You are above them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no warmth in the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hollow. Like the echo of a role he'd rehearsed too many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Sari,\" he murmured, still watching the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may want to lower your voice now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three carriages appeared in the distance, drawing closer with every heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke smirked, sharp and knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all... our guests have arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 28—\u003C\u002Fp>",935,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.223Z",1,"novelbin.me","d94834fca439a51662bee0a6cbe34ff4d97e8e2780277780c09d3b55a9a292b8","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-29","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-27",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
