The Hisoka family are descendants of that tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…So they have a long history,\" I mumbled, opening the card. \"And what's evil about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They still worship Baal,\" he replied. \"They think one day Baal will return and help them achieve their lifelong goal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…And what is that?\" It was Elijah who asked, walking towards us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn turned to glance at him. \"…To become the greatest family that rules over Lumina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah's expression turned cold as he looked at the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they are helping Baal's Vessel then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Arawn shook his head. \"Families that worship Primordial Evils hate the vessel of their gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah frowned as I opened the card. \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The vessel has its own mind and personality,\" he replied. \"They hate that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I unfolded the card fully and read it in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formal invitation to a private gathering held by three great families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hisoka being the head, with the Sinhorn and Bellandur families together with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know the Sinhorn and Bellandur families?\" I asked, glancing at Arawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord,\" he replied. \"The Bellandur family worships the goddess Isthar, and the Sinhorn worships the god Molech.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at him as I heard those names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these three families worship the Dark Trinity, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they?\" Aimar scoffed, walking towards us. \"Three great evil families or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, actually,\" Arawn nodded in response. \"They have inflicted so much brutality that they are dubbed as such.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar blinked. \"Wow. That was not sarcasm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah folded his arms. \"Why did they contact you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They seem to be throwing a party,\" I replied, folding the card. \"Something about being able to enter the top families of Kandam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar stared at me. \"They're inviting you to join the top families?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly,\" I said. \"They're inviting me to sit at their table.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn's voice was calm but firm. \"Perhaps they are making it public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at him. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, but for almost a thousand years there has been this rumour going around,\" he replied, his voice thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both the Sinhorn and Bellandur families have been in decline, and the Hisoka family is the one that has already acquired them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed quiet, letting his words sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this isn't just a party,\" I said slowly. \"It's an announcement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn nodded. \"Most likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh and burned the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either way, I am not going,\" I replied, looking at them. \"They can celebrate all they want. I don't care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame ate through the card quickly, turning the gold-lined paper into drifting ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar stared at the remains. \"That's it? You're just… not going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" I replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn frowned. \"Refusing an invitation like that will not go unnoticed, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" I said. \"That's the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clapped my hands before they could say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it's time for rest,\" I said, looking at them. \"I will send someone to call when dinner is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Elijah mumbled. \"I need to check on Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly walked away, and Arawn and Aimar dispersed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left alone, I began to walk towards my own house as my thoughts began to drift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, that bastard is also training under the Hisoka family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why I am familiar with the family name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Evil attracts evil.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, I will meet him sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…But he is not that important.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I got the power of Fate, there have been so many things that I want to do with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But first and foremost, I want to use it to locate… her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Siersha.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know where she is or how she is doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I know is that she is somewhere out there, still waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I need to look for her quickly.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bit my lips but eventually let go of my anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Yeah.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh as I reached my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing that grabbed my attention was Christina standing close to the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had dyed her hair back to blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resembled her previous self a lot, though with a more mature body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked behind her and placed my hand around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stiffened for a brief second, then relaxed as soon as she felt my presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed like that, resting my head on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're quiet,\" Christina said, watching our reflection in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, studying her blue hair as she ran her fingers through it. \"It suits me, doesn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It does,\" I said honestly. \"Feels… familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled faintly. \"That's what I wanted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I loosened my grip slightly, turning her around so she faced me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was calm, but her eyes searched my face like she was looking for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qais,\" she whispered, her voice soft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm listening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I miss my family,\" she replied, placing her head on my chest. \"…I miss them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer, resting my chin on top of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" I said quietly. \"Anyone would.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tightened her grip on my shirt. \"I try not to think about it, but sometimes it just… hits me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been strong for too long,\" I replied. \"It's okay to miss them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stayed silent for a few seconds, breathing slowly, like she was afraid that if she spoke again her voice would break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see them,\" she replied. \"…I am not ready yet, but I want to see them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes as I felt her taking deep breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh as I pulled back. \"Let's go then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be afternoon for them,\" I replied, placing my hand on her cheeks. \"Let's go meet them now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze for a moment, like she was trying to understand if I was serious or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Now?\" she asked again, her voice barely above a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" I replied. \"If we keep waiting for the perfect time, it'll never come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands trembled slightly as they rested on my chest. \"But what if it goes badly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It probably will,\" I said honestly. \"At least at first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a weak laugh. \"You're really bad at comforting people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe,\" I said. \"But I won't let you face it alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at me for a long second, searching my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Okay,\" she said softly. \"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1591,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","64fc48b739ecfa85d67228e2c0f5decf8635bbd5f8021dcad3e0ac8ca7f3033e","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-523","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-521",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
