grabbing her hand and pulling her behind a stone pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise scowled, yanking her hand free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warn me next time!\" she whispered before peeking over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of three guards wearing chainmail armor patrolled the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't we just take them out?\" Elise asked, glancing at Aimar. \"It's only three of them—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't have time,\" Aimar cut in, his golden eyes flashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, and a glowing magic circle materialized in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flickered for a moment before shrinking in size and floating away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another circle shimmered to life at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned into a purple portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go inside.\" He said, turning to look at Elise. \"We need to—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's so cool.\" Elise whispered, her eyes sparkling. \"How did you—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just go!\" He cut off her words, glaring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise grumbled softly before she walked inside the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly found themselves in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise gasped, covering her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar's expression also hardened as he took in the scene in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of dead bodies lay in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies sprawled around the kitchen, some still oozing blood from their wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should move.\" Aimar whispered softly as he turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his nape tingled as soon as he turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar ducked just as a blade whistled through the air, missing his head by inches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guard, the only one still standing, yanked his sword back and lunged for another strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small portal materialized in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard's hand got submerged into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wide eyes met Aimar's, who smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHH!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard let out a cry as his hand was cut clean, blood oozing out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kick to his chest made him fall on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Elise's long nails scratched his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man choked as his skin blackened, his veins turning a sickly, rotting hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood thickened, curdling into a dark, pulsing mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed, convulsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\" Elise said, looking back at Aimar, who stared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that a curse?\" He asked as they began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Elise replied, her voice tinged with pride. \"My family's vampiric ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Aimar nodded, looking ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wall blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar raised his hand, and a portal emerged in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly rushed inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they emerged on the other side, Aimar fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clutched his chest as he tried to get back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aimar?\" Elise whispered, rushing to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath came in sharp gasps, his hands clutching his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes started to show him a new vision he couldn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visions of something absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visions of a tall woman with bright yellow eyes smiling at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck, fuck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayes grimaced as he rushed through the corridors of the royal palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand was a crystalline orb-like object that looked dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orb that should have been radiating with energy wasn't even showing any life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small circle in it, which shouldn't have been empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we even going?\" Ries asked, his voice filled with strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To find Princess Pasithea!\" Hayes snapped as he heard the same question again and again. \"She might know where Aetheria's core is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" Ries asked, looking at him doubtfully. \"To me, it just seems like a worthless struggle—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Hayes barked, glaring at him. \"If you can't help, then just be fucking silent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ries shrugged. \"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly moved through the corridor, trying to find Pasithea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards he brought from the Solace Kingdom flanked around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the fuck did they keep the core away from it?\" Hayes grumbled, cursing the elves in his mind. \"Can't they just keep it in one place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should they?\" Ries replied, being logical for once. \"It's better to keep its core away, so even if stolen, it's useless—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! Shut up!\" Hayes snapped, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was thinking if he should strangle him right here or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly rushed past another place as they reached an open hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they slowed down as someone stood on the opposite side, blocking their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few black feathers sprawled across the place, and cold wind rushed inside from an open window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hayes's sole attention was on the lone boy standing in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lean, handsome boy with long, pristine white hair with a purple undertone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heterochromic eyes staring at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hier Himmel?\" Hayes said, smiling awkwardly as he hid Aetheria behind him. \"What are you doing her—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you?\" Himmel asked, his expression pained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayes tilted his head. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you steal it?\" He asked, and Hayes flinched. \"They are the legacy of the first Child of Mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what you are talking about.\" Hayes replied, feigning ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking away everything from the locker—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, everything?\" Hayes asked, his brows knitting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Himmel replied, nodding his head. \"Didn't you empty everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did not!\"  Ries rebuked, looking at him. \"We only took Aetheria—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you shut up, idiot.\"Hayes barked, frustration on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you took 'everything' and Aetheria.\"Himmel smiled. \"Hand it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn't take anything.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayes's words trailed off as Himmel took out a beautiful katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Hayes recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the things that was kept on display in the locker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him.\" Hayes said coldly as he turned around. \"And take everything that he possesses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayes, along with Ries and the blue-armored guard, started to move away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't long before he regretted his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1903,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e8a07cb4e1197440c2578b269fdbe9040c62368e2fa1434a0ee873d15d6c4a9","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-317","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-315",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
