How was she supposed to go back there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t have Julius, maybe things would be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she had him, her only real family. Leaving him was simply not possible. She opened her mouth to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill the envoy!\" Julius’s sharp voice cut through the room, carrying a soft but very real killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s heads snapped toward him at once. Rosalina stared hard, her face a perfect picture of pure disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy?\" she snapped, her voice a little strained. She coughed quickly to fix it and kept going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killing an envoy could start a war. Do you actually want a war with the Valentina clan?\" Her brows knitted together into a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth stayed quiet. She seemed to be rolling the idea around in her head, not jumping in just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nathaniel looked like he was already regretting every life choice that had led him to this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My clan, which has lasted this long, is finally going to end,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bitter smile tugged at his bruised face as he stared at his son standing there like he was dead serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I think Eli’s all the craziness and obsession only got passed down to him,’ Nathaniel sighed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could already see the future of the Hayes clan looking pretty bleak if Julius took over, which he would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who in their right mind suggests killing an envoy from a force as strong as yours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sigh... I wish I had another child... This one is never going to...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel closed his eyes for a second and silently apologized to every single one of his ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sorry, Grandpa. Sorry, Great-Grandpa. Sorry to all you old guys who worked so hard to keep the clan alive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Your useless descendant only managed one kid, and now that kid is about to burn the whole thing down with his big mouth. I failed you all. Please don’t haunt me too hard when the clan disappears.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nathaniel was busy imagining the sad end of his family line and begging forgiveness from the dead, Julius leaned forward, eyes shining bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. You don’t need to remind me. Killing the envoy would cause a war... but this war won’t be between our two clans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel’s ears perked up right away. A spark of interest lit up his swollen face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, son?\" he asked, suddenly sounding a lot more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, all the disappointment and quiet regret about not having a spare kid started to melt away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a breath, Julius explained, \"Mom told you about Uriel, right?\" He knew she would have told his father everything, no matter what. And sure enough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Nathaniel replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was honestly impressed by his son’s achievement. The boy had slipped deep into the church. It was a praiseworthy thing. But he couldn’t just praise him out loud, so he listened quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, there will be an uproar in the Holy Empire... in just about two months,\" Julius said, looking them dead in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone listened with full attention, Rosalina, Elizabeth, and Nathaniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Rosel, she had wrapped herself up in Rosalina’s long black hair like a cozy blanket and was pretending to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you might not know,\" Julius slowed down as he sat on the edge of the bed, \"the Holy Empire is quite chaotic these days... especially the royal family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough to snatch back all of Nathaniel’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned in closer. For the first time since walking into the room, he actually looked like he cared about what his son had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean the Holy Empire is chaotic?\" he asked, eager to learn more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the head of a big clan like the Hayes, he needed to know everything so he could strike at the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you get some message from Uriel?\" Rosalina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius nodded. In truth, Uriel had not contacted him. His knowledge came from the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite obvious, really. The emperor of the Holy Empire had suddenly fallen ill, and though no one knew what kind of sickness it was, Julius knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a heart disease caused by a worm carcass called the Siferwood Death Worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who did it was the first prince of the empire, Sebastian Evander. He had finally started his game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Julius’s turn to break Crypian’s future ally and remove a hard obstacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about it for a moment before he briefly explained what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also explained how they should kill the envoy and use him to create chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his explanation, his father’s jaw dropped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind went slightly blank as his gaze slowly shifted to Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood with her hands on her hips, nose lifted high in pride, as if telling everyone, ’See him? Yeah, that’s my son.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nathaniel could agree. He was proud too. *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No wonder all my smart genes went to him. If he had Eli’s stupid and obsessive side... my god...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even finish the thought. But now he felt a bit relieved that Julius would inherit the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ancestors, be proud!’ Nathaniel thought with a sudden burst of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because this is exactly why I never wanted another child! You see him? He will bring unmatched glory to our clan!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a normal person heard him, they would spit on the ground and call him a shameless hypocrite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just been regretting not having another child, and now here he was praising his son and sending well wishes to the ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like they were any better though....they would probably agree with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Hayes clan was famous for its evil hypocrisy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","664ea4b2e6bf81707dca57a3ade73502202fa052497946bbb91c5a8a11b1443c","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-179","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-177",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
