sure, you don’t run away.\" She replied with a straight face. \"I have to—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I really wanted to run then no one here could stop me.\" I cut her words off. \"Not even you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t reply but instead she kept on staring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise she was staring at the necklace that I was wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncomfortable by her gaze, I put it inside my shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn this ugly elf.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She is Ragnar’s

sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I have done this before and with a lot of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were a lot different from this elven girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Urgh, I have a headache even by thinking about it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I threw away all those thoughts as I walked towards the main tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guards were stationed outside but they didn’t stop us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slipped past the soldiers as I walked inside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was bigger than all others with a few maps laying around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people occupied three chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them being the vampire, Siersha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two were the elves, Mariam and

World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head as I stared at Mariam who was unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the tense atmosphere between them, I frowned. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Elife is dying.\" Mariam broke the silence. \"She doesn’t have long to live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fingers froze halfway to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We thought she would have a few more months but....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariam didn’t complete her words but the intention was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...She is going to die soon.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, more importantly....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she is dying that means—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The World Tree is going to die out soon.\" Daina completed my words. \"We are going to lose everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lips tightened as I leaned back in the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words hung in the air, heavy enough to crush the breath out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...How long?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha was silent beside me, her crimson eyes fixed on nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariam replied after a few moments of silence. \"Weeks... maybe less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the World Tree is dead, there will be no point of elves living here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes as I thought about it more seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’....’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, no matter how I see it...the elves are done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why tell me all this?\" I said, opening my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Elife has asked to see you.\" Mariam replied. \"And you as well, Nymeria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at the girl who blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh. \"So, when should we move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now.\" Mariam replied standing up. \"Daina please ask to start the teleportation portal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elven woman nodded before she walked out of the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I talk for a second?\" Mariam said, looking at Nymeria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded and they both walked out as well, leaving me alone with Siersha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?\" I asked, turning to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say anything for a second but just stared at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather sent me here to tell you...\" She replied softly. \"He is going to eradicate the elves within a month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I silently blinked at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that motherfucker is trying to play mind games with me now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...He is really pushing his luck now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I don’t like that one bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tamriel Kingdom, Alfheim.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pride of the elves glowed softly over the city as its branches loomed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once enormous tree now looked like the shell of its past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaves that were once full and bright were nothing but few and dried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It really is dying, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought as I stared at the World Tree looming over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a while since the World Tree lost all of its leaves.\" Mariam whispered silently. \"Now, everyone can see its condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t reply as I looked to my side where Siersha and Nymeria stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will leave you guys alone with Lady Elife.\" Mariam said, turning around. \"Come with me Siersha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire remained silent as she grabbed my sleeve tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come talk with me when you are free.\" She said, her voice soft. \"I need to tell you a lot of things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded once as she let go and walked away from us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at Nymeria who was staring at the World Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\" I said, not waiting for a reply as I began to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between the World Tree and the place was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the help of Neplh, I could glide us towards it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymeria was staring at the trail of ice behind was intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour of travelling we arrived at the World Tree’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous branch moved when I was close by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It began to gently touch my face as if acknowledging my presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...It used to do this a lot before.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I first arrived in the kingdom, I remember it pampering me before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice made me look towards the base as a woman appeared in front of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was same as before but her body had begun translucent now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’..I can see through her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymeria bowed slightly. \"Lady Elife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded as she looked at Nymeria tenderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have grown a lot, Nymeria.\" She said with a gentle smile. \"I remember you used to play around here a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymeria’s lips trembled, but she kept her head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers clenched together like she was trying to hold herself steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... don’t remember much from back then,\" she admitted quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Elife smiled faintly, though the edges of it were tinged with sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is fine. Not all memories need to be carried. Some are better left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed silent, standing a little to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze eventually turned to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed deeply in front of me. \"Sir Himmel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to do that.\" I replied, ignoring the glare I got from Nymeria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightened her back. \"I am glad you came to see me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About that.\" I said softly. \"Did you call me to help you....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head in response. \"Even with your nourishment, the World Tree won’t live.\" She replied. \"Its death and mine are inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t respond as I had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elife slowly walked towards Nymeria as she gently caressed her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was glad when the World Tree blessed you when you were born.\" She said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I completely understand why you sacrificed your blessing as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymeria’s lips parted slightly, as if to speak but nothing came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Am I missing something here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but wonder as I looked at them confusingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a look in Nymeria’s face that I recognised immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...It was deep-rooted guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was better off not remembering anything at all.\" Nymeria replied bitterly. \"It’s hard to live with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You asked me why your mother hates you.\" Elife replied gently. \"I merely told you the reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what reason?\" I couldn’t help but interfere in their conversation. \"Doesn’t Nerissa hate her because she looks like Ragnar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both didn’t reply as she just left me out of the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymeria’s gaze dropped to the roots beneath our feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has come in terms with her past.\" Elife replied before she walked towards me. \"Even though it was painful, she did what was important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no way to understand her cryptic words as I stared at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Wait, was she gloomy all the time because of it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That...does make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, did Nymeria ask Elfie about her past on the day of my trial?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...I feel like I have been left out here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elife stood in front of me as she looked into my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Himmel.\" She said, her voice gentle. \"I have a favor to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned but nodded nonetheless. \"Please speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could reply, my phone vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took it out as I saw the number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...It was Aries.\u003C\u002Fp>",1576,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","08e6040cf52566c1c7e9e34919048d78903102a52dc1e81defbb3bac83b7d33a","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-460","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-458",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
