Each one different. Each one striking. Beauty carved its own way into them—unique, unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke stood waiting, a gentle smile stretched across his lips. The kind of smile that made you believe he was the happiest man you'd ever meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello,\" he said, voice smooth. \"I'm Nuke Cerveau, heir of the Cerveau Family. The one who invited you all here for this little meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, eyes scanning them like pages in a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meris Elamin, heiress of the Elamin family,\" Meris said with nonchalance—calm voice, cool eyes. But those eyes kept flicking toward one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Those eyes... 'Her heart skipped. Blood-red, deep and haunting. Stunning in a way only something violent could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful in the same way blood is beautiful when it splashes warm across your skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloody beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rea Thornspire, heiress of the Thornspire family. It's a pleasure,\" Rea said next—polite, composed, precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But behind her calm voice, her gaze was locked on Kaden too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because of fascination. Neither of attraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face stayed smooth outwardly but her mind didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Kaden's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here's the thing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaden Warborn. Youngest child of the Warborn Family,\" he said, voice low but steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't the heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden was just the youngest and spoiled child of the Warborns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did that mean he stood beneath the others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled softly and added, \"Also known as the Child of Blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as he said it, his red eyes gleamed—like the name stirred something wild inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris was caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn't stop staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn't look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He..he is really handsome,'she thought, lips curling with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke watched all of it unfold, eyes far too sharp for someone so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Meris's curiosity. Rea's inner jolt. The tension beneath their frozen expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw how Meris carried herself—like excitement was the only thing worth chasing, and everything else was noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea moved like still water. Quiet. Controlled. Calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kaden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just like I thought,' Nuke mused, smiling warmly as his thoughts turned colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" he said, gesturing toward the doors. \"Follow me. Let's continue inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat around a round table. Food already served—steam rising, scent rich enough to make a starving man sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one cared about the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nuke didn't speak. Didn't try to play host. Hr just watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a lousy fucking host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Meris didn't care. She leaned forward and spoke to Kaden like they were long time friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea's mind was screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of her origin skill, the one that let her see fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't read Nuke. Couldn't read Meris. Something blocked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Artifacts,' she thought grimly. 'Of course. So they know about my origin...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden wore nothing to block himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No enchantments. No relics. No charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was arrogance—the Warborn kind that bled into everything they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe... maybe it was because she was his fiancée.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still. If he wasn't hiding his fears—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why couldn't she see anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No fear of failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two most common fears, she saw in everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sure even Nuke and Meris had them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one thing surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear of being scolded by his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe slapped around by his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How is that possible...?' Her heart thudded in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Such... ordinary fears? From someone like the Child of Blood?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't make any sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... it fascinated her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's your origin?\" Meris asked suddenly, her silver eyes gleaming. She leaned in closer, her voice playful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question cut through the room like a whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea froze. Even Kaden blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't the kind of question you asked a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really want to know?\" Kaden asked, his voice calm, but stripped of all the warmth he used with family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the little brother anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Child of Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris didn't even flinch, her smile became even more playful, \" Yes, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden tilted his head, then turned—slow and deliberate—toward Rea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby-red and blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, Nuke sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kaden proved him right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think, Rea?\" he asked, soft smile still on his face. \"Should I tell her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like they were old friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like this wasn't their first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation. No shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should've been thrown off. And she was—just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of pushing her away... it pulled her in deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then turned to Meris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Meris, I don't think it's proper to ask someone's origin when you've just met them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meris tilted her head, annoyed, just about to retort—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nuke, who had been eating with slow, perfect grace, finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two seem to know each other,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea answered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. We're engaged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Nuke looked up, eyes flicking between the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even his family didn't know this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his family had spies everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This... this is interesting' he thought, eyes gleaming behind the warmth of his practiced smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that was the point of this entire meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not alliances. Not peace. Not friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see how they moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who they gravitated toward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How they responded when poked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't seen that last one yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would...soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled again, that same harmless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind that whispered I couldn't hurt a fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The famed Child of Blood,\" he said softly, \"of the illustrious Warborn... engaged to the heiress of a fallen house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes cold under the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 29—\u003C\u002Fp>",982,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.223Z",1,"novelbin.me","00c875d12d11dbc99d5cafdfa6bc0f0088ed6a29fbe8a80628776a0e61b9380c","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-30","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-28",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
