hated by a Primordial Goddess herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…They really are living a hard life.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And perhaps they would be persecuted, or maybe massacred because of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh, rubbing my forehead that felt heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I knew I shouldn't blame myself for what their future held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet… in the end, this was their life because of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, staring at the ceiling that glowed like crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa had provided all three of us separate rooms to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no such thing as sunlight here, so I wasn't sure if it was day or night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though we were separated, I was still keeping an eye on the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It would be a pain if Lyssa tried to kidnap them or something along the line.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But left alone, I couldn't help but wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….What the hell am I supposed to do now?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was almost no point in coming here, as I didn't find a single clue for the 'key.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I got was another burden on my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Was Verena aware of this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…She really might be into all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what about Chione?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need more information about her from Inna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'hm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head toward the door as I felt someone arrive there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up, and the door was knocked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the door, I found two of the princesses standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teal-haired princess Kaelia and the healer Aradia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at them for a second without saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia was aloof as ever, and I really couldn't wrap my head around what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aradia, on the other hand, looked tense, her hands clasped together in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Can I help you?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aradia spoke first. \"May we come in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped aside and let them pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door closed behind them with a soft click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room felt smaller with the two of them inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Why the stare?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was decently dressed, but I could still feel their gaze on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aradia hesitated before speaking. \"Mother asked us not to bother you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you didn't listen to her.\" I said, taking my seat on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave a small, embarrassed smile. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed her head slightly. \"…If you choose anyone of us.\" She mumbled. \"Please don't choose Kana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, an older sister looking after a younger one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not choosing anyone.\" I replied. \"And even if I did, I won't bother with that brat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aradia let out a breath she looked like she had been holding for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" she said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia, who had been silent until now, clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't thank him yet,\" she said. \"He hasn't agreed to anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at her. \"You're free to leave if you're just here to doubt me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia didn't move. \"I'm here to make sure you don't force my sister into doing something shady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have beautiful lovers.\" I replied calmly. \"I am more than happy with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia looked at me with disgust, while Aradia's shoulders dropped a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Anything else?\" I asked, looking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia moved forward to stand right in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked into my eyes, and for a split second, I saw something in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dead look… just like my mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you need a sacrifice.\" She said emotionlessly. \"Than make sure to choose me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aradia bowed slightly before she walked out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left alone, I couldn't help but think about the game once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, Aradia was the one who was kidnapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia and Kana moved toward the Asura Kingdom to find her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who kidnapped Aradia was a friend of the villainess-maker of core two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had found her after the massacre of the Aljanah family, when she was there to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….The Asuran Duke's son.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought, rubbing my face instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were so many people that I needed to kill and bury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'..I need to prepare for stronger opponents.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, I stared at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I am waiting for you, Morningstar.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Half a day later.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to return to the Aljanah household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa wasn't ready to tell me anything, so there was no point in staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah and Aimar walked by my side, with Elijah's face filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….What's up with you?\" I asked, walking down the hallway to meet Lyssa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head. \"Nothing….I just have a bad feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't respond as we reached the throne room, where Lyssa was already present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled softly. \"Leaving already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped a few steps away. \"I will stay if you tell me about the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa tilted her head. \"Sadly, I only want to trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's not a trade, for fuck's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Figures,\" Aimar muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah shifted beside me. \"Lady Lyssa… what happens now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze slid to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now?\" She looked back at me. \"…I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept my silence, not looking away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway.\" She said, clapping her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate opened up, and three more people walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kana, Kaelia, and Aradia, along with Levia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kana and Kaelia stood with us, while Aradia moved to her mother's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What's the meaning of this?\" I asked, tilting my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Nora asked me to send two of my daughters.\" She responded with a smile. \"…I am just fulfilling a friend's wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned at her words. \"Nora did?\" I asked. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa's smile didn't change. \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brows knit together, but I didn't bother asking anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I began to walk out of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where the hell were you?\" I asked as I walked past Levia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl only smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just accept my daughter.\" Lyssa said, making me halt. \"And I promise to give you everything that the mermaids hold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at her one last time before I walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As tempted as I was to get the weapon of Anastasia…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I was not marrying anyone for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aljanah household.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake surface flickered as I walked over it while holding Levia's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take me long to reach the surface as I let go of her hand and looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kana was with Elijah as she brought him along, while Kaelia traveled alone and Aimar was in a bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should meet with mom first.\" Levia said, glancing at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded slightly. \"Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia turned and started walking toward the path leading into the Aljanah estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar popped out of the bubble, coughing. \"I swear, I hate every one of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kana laughed, still gripping Elijah's sleeve. \"You looked funny floating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah gently pulled his arm back. \"…Please don't do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia had already moved ahead, silent as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aljanah household came into view, and before long we were in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my steps slowed when I walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were some unwanted guests sitting on the front sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orelena was the first to stand up when she saw us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avril came running and hugged me tightly. \"Azariah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained confused as I looked at Avril. \"…What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let go of me when I didn't hug her in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avril stepped back, her smile turning a little awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You didn't know?\" she asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" I replied honestly. \"I really didn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced over her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did I notice a woman sitting with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….Nora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Ah,\" she said, noticing me at last. \"You're back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on?\" I asked, looking at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my gaze shifted as I noticed Killian walking toward the princesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed like a gentleman in front of Kana and Kaelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? What the fuck was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome,\" he said. \"The journey from Lorelei must have been tiring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kana blinked, clearly surprised by the sudden courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Uh. Thanks?\" she replied, glancing back at Elijah as if asking whether this was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelia gave Killian a brief nod. Nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avril moved from my side and began greeting the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I was still staring at Killian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't seem to notice me, as his eyes remained on the princesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….What in the actual fuck is he doing?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt irritated at his behavior, but I kept my cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze turned to Tyshara, who looked visibly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed the back of my head as I stared at Nora, who stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked toward me in the same seductive way as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile, she said. \"Would you give me some of your time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked down at her as I tried to understand her plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, I nodded my head and let her lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought me away from the main hall into a more empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there was only one table and two chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat on one and gestured for me to sit on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat down as I looked at her. \"…What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need the key right?\" She asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will give it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile grew bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you make a deal with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1571,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2aabf2121f1bc076e4693c99129b8fd366640345305911a6b87127c21c3a8d9","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-512","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-510",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
