life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have hated one thing a lot and that is my own family….the Aljanah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it's because Esmeray belonged to this family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps my hatred is for those who put a blind eye to Esmeray's doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hated how I was treated by Avril, I hated that nobody came to help me when I needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….Yet, my hatred does not take away my reasoning and my way of thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aljanahs are important for this world to have a certain balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For thousands of years the Aljanah have been a medium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have started a lot of conflicts but also have solved a lot as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end one thing was always stuck with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Trusting an Aljanah is akin to asking Satan to be merciful.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we walked behind the current head of Aljanah's of Lumina, my gaze kept on shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman…Nora walked just beside Jacob with their hands intertwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze wandered on her hips that she swayed around proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to my side only to find Aimar and Elijah giving me weird look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slowed down and so did the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is all the woman you have yet not enough?\" Aimar said, his tone disgusted. \"Are you really going after a married grandma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I completely ignored him as my gaze shifted towards Elijah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can feel it too right?\" I said, looking into his eyes. \"Her presence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah glanced at Nora once again as he nodded his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Y-yeah.\" He whispered softly. \"It's like she is actively trying to get into my head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I firmly gripped my hand as I affirmed that it wasn't just me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What are you guys talking about?\" Aimar asked, as he looked oddly clueless. \"Is this feeling exclusive to Aljanah's or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both didn't respond as it felt more than just a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…What the hell is she?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought to myself as she looked back over her shoulder and gave a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what happens, I will have to keep my guard up against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is definitely some evil being that has taken a human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….Calling her human doesn't feel right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I tried to figure her out, Jacob brought us to a huge door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two servants opened the door and a huge hall opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob turned back and smiled. \"Welcome to my home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at him and then behind him as I noticed someone special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce you to my small family.\" Jacob spoke as he gestured towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to step forward was a young man, tall and sharp-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His silver hair was tied loosely, and his eyes were a brown-grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my son, Havier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't smile as his gaze landed on me, like he was assessing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored him as my gaze shifted to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…No way this is true.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who stood by Havier's side stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue hair braided neatly that fell behind her back and unnatural face that looked too good to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled gently and walked towards me until she stood infront of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…No way.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze shifted towards her ears that were just like Levia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my daughter-in-law.\" Jacob spoke with pride. \"Verena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena held out the back of her hand like she expected me to kiss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's an honor to finally meet you, Himmel,\" she said softly. \"My family always look up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gently grabbed her hand and placed a firm kiss on her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….And much to my surprise, the mature woman blushed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just me who noticed as even Havier noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Havier's eyes twitched so hard I thought his face might crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena pulled her hand back a little too quickly, the blush still bright on her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to hide it with a calm smile, but the damage was already done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your family?\" I asked, giving her a curious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena got a hold of herself as she smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce myself again.\" She spoke, bowing slightly while grabbing her gown's hem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Verena Nelo Lorelei, the former princess of only mermaid household alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does your family look up to me?\" I asked as I see no reason for this to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, our family is a devotee of Goddess Anastasia.\" She spoke with the same smile. \"As the only male Avatar of her…our whole family looks up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a lot of things that I wanted to say but I couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….Wasn't Anastasia the one who eradicated the mermaids?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how come there is one who is still alive in this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena must've sensed something in my expression because her gaze softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look confused,\" she said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will be Verena.\" Nora, who was watching the show all this time, finally spoke. \"…You are making him like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena still smiled as she moved back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps we can continue our conversation later on.\" She spoke eyeing me. \"I would love some alone time with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had nothing else to speak so all I could do is nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, I don't think Havier liked the idea as he was practically fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…And is it just me or is Jacob completely ignoring it?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at Jacob who was busy looking at his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My youngest daughter is still out.\" He spoke, noticing my gaze. \"And you have already met with Levia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward a grand staircase that curled like a golden serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come,\" he said. \"Let me show you where you will be staying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't move as I stood my ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not here as a guest, Jacob.\" I spoke making sure he heard it. \"I am here to warn you and take back what's mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob stared back at me as his gaze darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he began to speak….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Nora's hand slipped into his arm again and just like earlier, the atmosphere changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled sweetly, looking deep into my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all look tense,\" she purred. \"Relax. This is your home as long as you are here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Liar.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was my first instinctive reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head slightly, her pitch-black hair sliding down her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the warning.\" She spoke. \"I am all ears, dear Himmel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't answer immediately as I kept my gaze on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of me refused to speak while she was gripping Jacob's arm like she owned the entire damn family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other part of me didn't trust the shift in the air around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Who the fuck is she?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really don't understand what she is doing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mention of her in the game and I have never heard about her from Esmeray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind brushed past my mind that made me close my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Touch my mind again,\" I said quietly, \"and I'll rip yours apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora smiled even more brightly as she loosened her grip on Jacob's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you give me some time with him dear?\" She asked him. \"Alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob nodded his head as he clapped his hand. \"Clear the room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned towards Elijah and Aimar and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood and began to walk out of the room with the rest of the Aljanahs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, I was left alone with Nora in the big empty hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clasped my hand behind as I walked towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the first question that I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And how long are you manipulating Jacob?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile didn't die down as she tilted her head. \"Aren't you bold?\" She said. \"Calling my love—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know the difference between love and manipulation more than anyone.\" I cut her off, standing right infront of her. \"So, don't bother lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled looking up at my face. \"….Ah, the small Azariah has grown some balls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked down at her, the words she spoke didn't surprise me at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you?\" I repeated my question. \"Answer before I rip off that smug face of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked as she responded. \"I am Nora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I scoffed, my patience running thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, Azariah.\" She spoke softly. \"You are way too special for this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora moved around me in circles as her gaze never left my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, Anastasia was really thorough with massacre.\" She spoke in a dull tone. \"There was barely any mermaids left after she was done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped infront of me once again. \"Do you know why she massacred them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't respond but I had the idea for why that happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…She did it simply because she was jealous.\" She spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because she feared that one day her lover will be reborn and have a much capable mermaid partner than her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….A fallen and a mermaid are the most compatible.\" I spoke, looking down at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\" She spoke brightly. \"But you see, by killing all the mermaids she took something really special from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes landed back at my face. \"…And she took everything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked once again as I kept on staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know why Anastasia didn't kill every single mermaid?\" She asked instead of replying. \"You know why there are still mermaids left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't speak as I wasn't aware of what might go in a goddess' mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So her lover can find his compatible partner.\" She pinched her fingers close to my face. \"And she can snatch her body away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there was hatred in her eyes, she smiled sweetly and began to walk away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anastasia won't do anything stupid.\" I spoke as I turned towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora's hand was just on the doorknob as she turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear Azariah.\" She spoke softly. \"What makes you think she hasn't done it already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood there frozen as I just looked at her blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….No way that could be true right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And about the \"key\" you came for.\" She spoke opening the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I am alive, you won't see the face of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1713,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","2408769f34fbc4892ccdf107945944a4896a22828e2cb3c93742c5207f161dec","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-506","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-504",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
