I exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know.\" Elijah started, earning our gaze. \"When we first met her, I think I saw a solitude of something around her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately got interested, as even I felt it when I was close to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it…\" I spoke softly. \"…A snake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah nodded his head immediately. \"Yes, an enormous snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, it wasn't just an illusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A snake…\" Aimar whistled softly. \"Damn, what's Miley doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled but immediately turned serious. \"Take it seriously, bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flipped me off, grinning like a bitch he is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway.\" Elijah once again continued the conversation. \"Is the key really that important, Himmel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned back on the sofa as I looked at the beautiful ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….I will be fighting stronger beings sooner or later.\" I grumbled, rubbing my face. \"If I want to defeat the first creation of God then I would need all the help I can get.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if it's a hoax?\" Aimar asked, his voice doubtful. \"What if there is no such thing as a key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"El said it's here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if he is lying—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stiffened at his words as I looked directly into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would have killed myself if not for him.\" I said, making sure he heard me. \"I trust him with my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar looked back for a while before he looked away. \"Oliver would be jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't respond as I looked out of the window once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….Am I hearing things now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I think about it.\" Aimar said, stretching his body. \"Are you going to fuck a mermaid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I frowned. \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't Nora say that you are supposed to fall for one?\" He asked, eyeing me suspiciously. \"…Or did I misinterpret it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed as I rubbed my temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She talked about compatibility.\" I said, looking at him. \"Fallen and mermaids are compatible for sex but that doesn't mean they have to get into a relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it's all a lie?\" Elijah asked, looking genuinely curious. \"The thing about the prophecy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….I don't know.\" I mumbled. \"But I don't plan for another girl in my life, I have enough already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking liar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing another sigh I stood up and walked towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going now?\" Aimar asked, standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at him. \"Stay together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't wait for any reply as I walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The fuck is that sound?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aljanah mansion is as big as it could get for something situated on an island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction was good no doubt but what made it special was the lake on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'..A lake that for some reason feels like it's singing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought as I walked close to the edge of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer I walked toward the lake, the louder the sound became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night breeze chilled my skin as I crouched near the floating stones that decorated the lake's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight hit the water and scattered into thousands of pale-blue sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Is there someone inside the lake?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but wonder as I stared at its still surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked and the surface moved in one gentle wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A naked woman emerged out of the water, shaking excess water from her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her head stilled and turned toward my direction and our eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Ah, fuck.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long blue hair clung to her shoulders, dripping down her bare skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena gave me a blank look without a shred of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much to my surprise she didn't try to hide herself but just stared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…..Uh,\" I muttered, clearing my throat. \"Sorry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great job, Himmel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around as I didn't want to stare anymore. \"I didn't know you were bathing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't respond but I heard the water splash around. \"Turn around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hesitated but eventually turned to look at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I turned a glowing veil of water wrapped around her instantly, forming a dress that clung to her like flowing silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Whoah, mermaid magic?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her chin slightly, observing me like I was the one naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then she smiled. \"How can I help you, Sir Azariah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cleared my throat as I gestured towards the pathway. \"Would you like to go on a walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked, smiled and nodded happily. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled back, glad she didn't mention me peeking on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We began to walk around the lake taking slow steps and for some reason she was trying to match my steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have heard about your arrival since I was a child.\" Verena spoke first, looking down. \"…You were like a prince who would come get me one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fuck is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this how mermaids start their conversations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's… oddly romantic,\" I said slowly. \"And extremely inaccurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She giggled quietly, brushing a strand of wet blue hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something you want to ask?\" She said softly. \"I would help you with anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Yeah, about that.\" I spoke, rubbing my cheek. \"Can you tell me more about your mother-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps slowed down as her eyes dimmed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Hmm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed the change in her body language immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is she afraid of her?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My mother-in-law,\" she repeated, voice barely above a whisper. \"What about her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For starters.\" I mumbled, looking at her. \"Is she really your mother-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down once again and did not respond immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had this doubt before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't remember the name of Jacob's wife from the game…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…But I am damn sure it wasn't Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" She spoke softly. \"I have really foggy memories of my wedding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head lightly as I expected this type of answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…How about your family?\" I asked, keeping my pace steady. \"Do they know Nora beforehand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Well, I think they do.\" She mumbled, her gaze thoughtful. \"My grandmother used to talk about meeting her once when she was young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….Is that so?\" I whispered softly. \"She must be old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just nodded while she played with her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….Well, I guess I won't get much information from her.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all the things I got were more than enough to make an outline of Nora's capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way.\" I continued as I looked at her. \"Is there anything you know about an enormous snake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…A snake?\" she repeated, glancing sideways at me. \"Why do you ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You tell me,\" I said calmly. \"What does a snake signify to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verena didn't speak for a while as her gaze remained on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silence was so long that I stopped expecting any answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mermaids used to worship a massive snake once.\" She finally said, taking my attention. \"…A deity that belonged to the Ocean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….A deity?\" I asked, stopping on my track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her gaze on me and gently smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you visit my family once?\" She asked, placing her hand in front of her. \"I am sure you will get a lot of answers to your questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….Your home.\" I said, tilting my head. \"And where might that be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I will have my daughter guide you.\" She responded with a gentle smile. \"You might even find a clue to the 'key' there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze in my place as I looked directly into her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How does she know about the key?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The guardian angel of our Goddess told us.\" She responded. \"That you would need the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael told them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why would your family know about the key?\" I asked, giving her an annoyed look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Lorelei and Aljanah families go way back.\" She said, taking a step back. \"We were meant to share both pain and pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a wise choice of words but okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around and began to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be going to my room now.\" She said, glancing over her shoulder. \"I would be alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Nah, no way she did.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh as I rubbed my cheek roughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, should I just keep the beard?\u003C\u002Fp>",1741,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","32204c3ea9c477ad298c41863e416723ed37429f4b34eb7df5d991601b6e1e80","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-507","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-505",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
