happened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...The day of the festival when the kindergarten was closed, but she forced Shane to bring her to Azariah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the same day...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Shane died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breath turned ragged as she looked at Shane carrying her sleeping child self back into the shade of a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shane?\" Azariah looked up, his childlike voice confused as he noticed the tense look on Shane's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Can you do me a favor?\" Shane asked with a small smile as he passed Shyamal to him, \"Please take her back inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confused, Azariah gently placed his hands around her knees and waist to carry her like a princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Azariah asked, his confusion growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just look after her,\" Shane smiled as he patted his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah?\" Ashlyn whispered, her eyes closed, her hand stretching to touch the space around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\" Azariah walked toward her, letting her grab onto his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashlyn stood up as he guided her inside the building while carrying the child Shyamal in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal looked at everything unfolding in front of her with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What actually happened?\" she asked herself, her stomach twisting with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't remember anything like this happening that day—maybe because she was asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you are here.\" Shane's low, threatening voice echoed within the garden, the setting sun casting a crimson light on his face. \"Come out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence lingered before a rustling sound echoed around the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in clothing that covered them entirely walked into Shane's view, their eyes holding nothing but coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shane sighed tiredly as he took out his long sword from his bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't let you touch any of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke coldly, his firm voice echoing within the garden as he took his battle stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, five of them rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal's body yanked back as she watched Shane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a kite, she flew back easily, passing through the wall of the kindergarten building before finding herself inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Shan—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you not like to see how you first awakened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shyamal tried to run back to where Shane was, Taishareth's cold voice echoed in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal halted as she slowly looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her child self was lying on the ground, breathing unevenly while Azariah sat right beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashlyn sat in a corner away from him, her anxious face turning around, but all she saw was darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal?\" Azariah's concerned voice echoed as he rubbed Shyamal's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body increasingly grew hotter, turning her skin reddish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest heaved for breath at an abnormal speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal?\" Azariah called her again, trying to help as much as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned toward the door as the sound of something exploding echoed within the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Shane,\" he whispered softly, looking back at child Shyamal, whose breathing slowly calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words abruptly halted as explosive shockwave erupted from Shyamal's body, sending him flying, his body crashing hard against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cluster of blackish threads emerged from her body, weaving around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal,\" Azariah whispered softly, shaking her, trying to wake her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Az.\" His gaze turned toward a girl who walked in from inside the kindergarten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aria?\" Azariah mumbled as he noticed the small girl with white hair walking toward him. \"...What are you doing—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words abruptly halted as explosive shockwave erupted from Shyamal's body, sending him flying, his body crashing hard against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Az!\" Arianell shouted as she rushed toward him, but something slammed into her body before she could reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body rolled on the ground, stopping when it hit a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah!\" Ashlyn yelled anxiously, standing up, her legs tangling as she moved, causing her to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped down Azariah's forehead. His hazy mind and the burning pain made it hard for him to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cluster that emerged from child Shyamal's body slowly started to cover the area in an eerie darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's blurry gaze turned toward Shyamal, whose body jerked before going limp, standing up like a puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal trembled as she looked at her \"child self\" with an expression that didn't suit her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what made her heart drop was her child self's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...They were glowing green like gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only now did she know why she didn't remember it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Because it was Taishareth who had taken control of her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crown slowly materialized, hovering just above her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cluster of black obeyed her as she moved, forming tens of hands that slowly crept toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Taishareth!\" Shyamal yelled as those hands crept toward Ashlyn and Arianell. \"What are you doing!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did nothing, oh foolish girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taishareth's cold voice echoed in her head as those hands slowly penetrated the girls' bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All that was your wish. You wished for them to die so they wouldn't take that boy away from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal,\" Azariah called, confused, as he stood back up, resisting the pain. \"W-what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child Shyamal, possessed by Taishareth, walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tens of hands lifted both unconscious girls up, corrupting something that kept them alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Corrupting their life sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness slowly engulfed the light around the place as the child \"Shyamal\" looked down at child Azariah with her gem-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ask why he doesn't choose you, but why should he choose the one who always caused him pain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taishareth's cold voice made Shyamal's body tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bloodshot eyes looked at her child self grabbing Azariah's throat, lifting him up, choking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What right do you have to stay close to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door slammed open, making Shyamal's head slowly turn toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal?\" Shane whispered in confusion as he slowly walked toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shyamal' dropped Azariah as she turned toward Shane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I look fine, right, El?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fixing my suit, I asked El's opinion as I walked through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You look fine, don't worry.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firecrackers filled the sky, people holding each other as they looked up with warm expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where did she go?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered as I looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My height now allowed me to look past the people around me as I stood taller than most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shouldn't have been hard to find her because of her dress, but for some reason, I just couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people around me looked at me curiously as I made my way toward the main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Anyway, where is Olivia?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered, confused as fewer people blocked my way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, she was with Christina, but when I entered the stage, Olivia wasn't with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...She didn't just throw my daughter somewhere random, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed as I stood outside, looking around for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can't I find her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she enter a stall or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still moved around in the dimly lit place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shops lined either side of the road as I walked aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azariah?\" I turned back as I heard my name in a familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed as I looked at the girl wearing a beautiful white gown walking out of a coffee shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I walked toward her as she folded her arms, looking at me coldly, marks of dried-up tears still visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...That was expected, but it still hurts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\" she asked, her voice strangely unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you angry?\" I asked, immediately regretting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of dumb question is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My future husband rejected me in front of everyone.\" She replied, her voice venomous, \"...Is that not enough reason to be angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fair enough.\" I mumbled, nodding quietly as I looked at her, and she looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We stood like that for some time before I awkwardly asked, \"...Where is Olivia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inside.\" She replied, glancing at the coffee shop, \"...She is drinking a milkshake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, should we go inside as wel—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" She cut in sharply, her eyes crucifying me. \"Say whatever you want, right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\" I mumbled, nodding my head before falling silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Just say it already.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Come on, you don't expect me to just randomly say I love her.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[So you want to add flowery words?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'El.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shut up.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fine.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drew in a deep breath as I looked at her, calmly waiting for my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, I am sorry for rejecting you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need it.\" She cut in, glaring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, fin—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My words abruptly halted as I felt something within me trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, I looked in the direction of the forest as I felt Andarnaur's ring resonating with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...No.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not the ring but the divinity infused with it that's trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taishareth's divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look in that direction, squinting as I noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something dark and ominous slowly covering the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Shyamal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I whispered softly as a tingling sensation ran through my scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No way, not right now.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...How is she awakening again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She is emotionally unstable; you just rejected her, remember?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...Ah, fuck me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azariah.\" I turned to look at Christina, who called me. \"...What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be right back.\" I replied, turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going?\" But my steps halted as she grabbed my hand, \"...What happened to Shyamal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will tell you everything truthfully when I come back,\" I replied, my voice urgent. \"...I will be right back, I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip slowly loosened as she stepped back without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face clearly showed she had so many things to say, but she remained silent, tears once again trickling down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be right back.\" I whispered softly as I turned and ran toward the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>",1609,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","a650ddf4ee4e60c8d2cdc4d12e1b857e88771a6aaf802e2ab70b853a82b41d80","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-240","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-238",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
