His eyes, though still calm, were sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he was reassessing me, finally realizing I wasn’t just some pawn shuffled across the board by Esmeray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I do?\" I repeated, my voice low. \"You really want to test that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edwin replied with a small punch on my stomach. \"Boom, and you are dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and softly punched my face. \"Boom, and you are dead again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared into his eyes without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand your place, Azariah.\" He continued, patting my shoulder. \"For me, you are nothing but a nuisance that I’m keeping around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly squeezed my shoulder until my muscles were torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can kill you anytime I want.\" He said, releasing the grip. \"The only reason you are alive is because I want it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say anything else as he walked past me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have enjoyed your life enough.\" He said, \"It’s time to fulfill your destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a sudden punch, he broke the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked out leaving me alone. \"I will wait for your answer, lady Mariam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t look back at him as he flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was burning anger within my mind that was really making me tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahh, the desire to just summon my daughter and cut open Edwin’s smug face....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking in a deep breath, I looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes moved on Mariam who stood close to the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any words, I walked past her and stood in front of the tree cultivated by the first head of the Segyal household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I touched it, I felt a familiar feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why do I feel like I can control this thing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at the bright side.\" Mariam suddenly said more to herself. \"We can use this chance to say that the Heir of the elves is sacrificing himself for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept my sarcastic remark to myself as I looked at Mariam who called Daina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blonde elf entered, Mariam let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hire someone to decorate the palace.\" She said, looking around the place. \"We need it to look beautiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daina blinked in surprise as she wasn’t listening to the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For what, my lady?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariam grabbed my hand and pushed me closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Himmel is getting engaged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1652,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","32a3c6511090d82af9d420f0ccc2112df3d1fb56bf179a845ab9781659a7451c","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-433","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-431",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
