myself, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no idea how I should approach Ashlyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, everything that was built between us—every laugh we shared, every time I helped her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all for a reason or just a straight-up lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know if I've ever helped her genuinely, without expecting anything in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the girl whom I saw as nothing but a tool to use has started loving me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I don't know how I should react to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…What have I done?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, rubbing my temples to alleviate the throbbing headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it's because I sacrificed a part of my life source to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought I owned her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why I never wanted her to know I am Noah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… I never wanted her to love me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She is possessive.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can see that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I groaned in frustration as I rubbed my neck to remove the lipstick mark on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, I hate all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[And you promised to be together with them from tomorrow onwards because—.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Yeah, because I will be leaving soon.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final event of the game will happen one week after the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…One week.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to do a lot in just a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azariah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My head turned to my side as I heard my name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Paul,\" I greeted with a smile as I walked toward him, standing beside Aimar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my steps slowed down as I noticed two more people standing with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall middle-aged man with blue hair and eyes glared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a little boy with the same features stared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father-in-law,\" I greeted him with a stoic face as I stood in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't reply, just glared at me, which I tried to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you, Alan?\" I asked as I looked down at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Fine,\" he replied, an awkward look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…What the hell happened to him?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you, my child?\" I looked at Uncle as he asked with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the last time I saw him, he had regained a bit of his previous warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…But he still looked depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just fine,\" I replied, shrugging my shoulders. \"…And probably dying from back pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at David, who clenched his jaw tightly; the sound of his teeth grinding against each other echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Seriously, what happened to him?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you prepared for your exams?\" Uncle Paul asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…About that,\" I replied, scratching my cheek, \"I plan to drop out of the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what?\" Startled, he asked, \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you planning to run away?\" David asked as well, his voice chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I will be visiting other places before inheriting my mother's position,\" I replied to both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Paul nodded in understanding, while David just glared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Aimar is also planning to drop out,\" I informed him, looking at Uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" he exclaimed before turning to look at Aimar. \"Why do you want to drop out!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just as I thought, he didn't tell his father,'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought, looking at Aimar as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he wants to live in Akasha,\" I added, and Uncle's face immediately turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Aimar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…We will talk about that tomorrow, old man,\" Aimar sighed before giving me a threatening look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, tomorrow,\" he firmly said, looking at his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I hope he can stop him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around, grabbing a glass of wine placed on a table before drinking it all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…What are you doing?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are drinking too much.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's just wine, don't worry.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced down as I felt a tug on my sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" I asked while Alan looked at me curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you become so good-looking?\" he asked, his eyes shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I drank milk,\" I replied with a smile, messing his hair, \"A lot of milk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose milk?\" he asked, tilting his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Should I say his sis—'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aye!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, he's a child—my bad.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Normal milk,\" I replied. \"You should drink it as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded vigorously while I looked at his father, who, for some reason, kept glaring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I asked, not hiding my annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My daughter asked me a lot of names for newborn children,\" he whispered in a chilly tone, \"…What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed my shoulder tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't run away,\" he growled, snapping me around, \"answer me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are either an idiot or pretending to be one if you don't understand that,\" Aimar chimed in, looking at David.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nobody asked you, fuckface—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ruined her life,\" David fumed, his fist clenching tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think what you want,\" I replied, staring into his eyes, \"and unlike you, I am going to take care of her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard the rumors about you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those are rumors,\" I cut him off, \"I am no [Exiled Prince], and I will never be one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew in deep breaths to calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep in mind,\" he said, and for once, I saw a father's care in his eyes, \"…Your life isn't just yours now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quietly nodded my head as I turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, the nobles parted ways for me without even speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point, I don't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should talk with her.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… I didn't plan to do it today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never planned to talk properly with Christina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…My life isn't just mine.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should tell her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talk with her about my problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tired sigh, I looked up at the decorated ceiling in the inner part of the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the nobles were in the main hall, so it was relatively empty and peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately, my instincts kicked in as someone grabbed my hand, pulling me closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fist curled, ready to punch, but my body relaxed the instant my gaze landed on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shya—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My words halted abruptly as she grabbed my tie, pulling me closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello there, handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kissed me once, softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands slipped under my shirt and wrapped around me, pulling me closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took the lead, kissing her back, once, twice, and suddenly, I found my hand behind her neck, holding her in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled back, just a little. Just enough to look at her beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crimson eyes stared into me, and I found myself kissing her again. Without restraint. Without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bit her lower lip tightly before going for another kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A groan escaped my mouth as I felt her nails scratching my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using my free hand, I tried to pull her hand out of my shirt forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something made me stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is it harder to pull her hands out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pulled back from her and asked curiously, \"Wait… you broke through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded with a smile. \"I did this morning—9th Primeval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you tell me—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares about that?\" she replied, pulling me closer before kissing me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I. Do. You. Fucking cheat,\" I rasped, glaring at her as she kept kissing me between my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, she froze as she looked behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" I asked, looking at her in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone is watching us,\" she replied, her hands on either side of my cheeks, holding my face still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Ah, fuck.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cursed in my mind as I slowly stepped back from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering myself, I turned around, and sure enough, Christina stood there with her arms folded over her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fucking cheater.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shut up, El.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Christin—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck off,\" she cut in, glaring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to talk with her, Azariah,\" she said, walking closer to me, \"…So get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No fighting—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't make me repeat myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" I groaned in frustration as I turned to walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clean your face,\" she ordered, and I quickly took out my handkerchief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Should I spy on them?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought as I removed the lipstick mark from my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It's better if you stay out of their matter.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Why?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Just do as I say.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Fine.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I groaned as I quickly arrived at the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately, the people entering took my attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I know them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to be more specific, I know one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a long white gown along with some light accessories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair, a mix of green and blue, cascaded down her back as she walked with her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Inës.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what took all my attention were her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…The innocence they once held was gone, replaced by a coldness that didn't match her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…What happened to her?'\u003C\u002Fp>",1467,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca4adc5a5610fd83f888d07b9d68694a7ae2527991d4606d0f29053ea0b9488f","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-250","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-248",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
