The kind old men made when remembering their glorious youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of them are completely in love with me...\" For two whole seconds, Nathaniel felt proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then reality returned. \"...Which is actually terrible.\" His face immediately became tired again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was not a situation any sane man wanted to deal with. He could not tell Elizabeth that her own younger sister was secretly in love with her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And worse...He could not even reject Kathlyin anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately...He did not have the courage to reject her. Nathaniel still remembered the first time he tried many years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Kathlyin cried...Not normal crying either. She cried like the world had ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tears were everywhere. Holding his sleeve dramatically while asking why fate was so cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Nathaniel actually felt guilty. He thought maybe after some time she would recover from heartbreak and move on peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a stupid thought that was. Because after crying for nearly an hour...Kathlyin suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she wiped her tears. Then she smiled. And then she beat him so badly he almost met his ancestors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel still remembered flying through three walls that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She said she didn’t care if I rejected her...\" Nathaniel muttered while rubbing his forehead painfully just from remembering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She even said she felt guilty toward her sister...but she still refused to give up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the worst part? Kathlyin had apparently decided the perfect solution was simply sharing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel still remembered hearing those words while half-buried inside a broken building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he genuinely wondered if he had finally gone insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though...\" Nathaniel sighed deeply, \"...she still doesn’t have the courage to actually tell Elizabeth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, that was probably the only reason the world was still peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaah...what a messed up life...\" He grabbed another document weakly and continued working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, the room stayed quiet for a few more seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then....The sound of footsteps echoed outside the office. Nathaniel paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even raise his head properly.....THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office door suddenly closed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel looked up immediately and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman stood there calmly near the entrance. She had a gentle smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes curved into soft crescent shapes while her lips carried that familiar dangerous smile Nathaniel knew far too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To normal people, her expression looked warm and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Nathaniel? It looked like the final warning before disaster. His soul almost left his body instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Kat?\" he asked carefully. His voice already sounded nervous. \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kathlyin kept smiling. That somehow made things worse. Slowly...She took one step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said you would give me a reward, didn’t you?\" Then another step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel’s chair creaked loudly as he leaned backward slightly. Cold sweat instantly formed behind his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this was coming. Earlier outside, when Kathlyin kept snorting at him with narrowed eyes, he already felt danger approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was exactly why he escaped so quickly before. But clearly...Not quickly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kat...\" Nathaniel spoke weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kathlyin kept walking closer slowly like a hunter cornering prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel’s survival instincts started screaming. \"Kat, listen carefully...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kat...\" His voice shook slightly now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile Kathlyin looked completely calm. Actually no...she looked excited. Which was much scarier. Nathaniel could already feel his lifespan decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shhh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kathlyin appeared directly on top of his desk. Nathaniel almost jumped out of his chair. Papers flew everywhere into the air dramatically like a scene from a rom com comic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One document even slapped him directly in the face before sliding down slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kathlyin leaned down slightly and pressed one finger softly against his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked you to go on a date with me...\" she whispered softly. Her voice was barely above a whisper now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you didn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel’s eyes twitched violently. \"That’s because normal married men don’t go on secret dates with their wife’s sister...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignoring details again,\" Kathlyin sighed disappointedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" she said softly while smiling even wider, \"let me take my reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel immediately felt danger. The kind soldiers sensed before dying heroically on battlefields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Nathaniel could even understand what was happening....Kathlyin finally began her terrifying game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away from Kathlyin’s completely lawful and definitely not terrifying \"reward collection,\" the rest of the family had gathered inside the estate’s massive training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evening sunlight poured down gently from the open roof above, painting the stone arena in warm orange light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft breeze drifted through the area calmly, moving clothes and hair gently while the distant sound of ocean waves echoed faintly from outside the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, two people stood facing each other in the center of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius and Rosalina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them remained completely silent for the moment while mana slowly flowed around their bodies naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Off to the side, Elizabeth stood with Rosel beside her while watching the scene quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two are only one step away now...\" Elizabeth said calmly. Her sharp eyes carefully observed both of them before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think this spar will be enough for both of you to finally enter the Void Core Stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void Core. That was the stage countless spell casters dreamed about their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these two monsters were apparently about to casually reach it by beating each other up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So don’t hold back,\" Elizabeth finished while folding her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Julius and Rosalina nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the inheritances left behind for them, the two had completely entered secluded sleep for several days while absorbing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally woke up again...Their cultivation had already reached the absolute peak of Spirit Core Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, they had also inherited completely new spells, techniques, and understanding connected to their paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, they had been sparring against each other almost every day. Partly to adapt to their new strength. Partly to test their new abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And partly because both of them were extremely competitive people who enjoyed bullying each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly...Both of them could already feel it. That final wall was very close now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius quietly stared at Rosalina. She was wearing black training gear that fit tightly around her figure, designed purely for movement during battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long black hair flowed wildly around her without being tied down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely...The hair did not move naturally with the wind. Instead, it floated beautifully around her body like living paint strokes from an ancient artwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost unreal. \"...Color Path,\" Julius thought quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina had clearly activated one of the techniques from her inheritance already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it suited her perfectly. Especially with such absurdly long hair. At this point her hair alone probably qualified as a separate lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius was pretty sure Rosel could hide inside it and survive for three business days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try not to lose, babe,\" Julius said casually while stepping into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina slowly raised one hand. A shimmering magic circle instantly appeared in front of her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air vibrated softly. Then....SHIIING.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sword appeared inside her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver blade reflected the evening sunlight beautifully while faint spiritual ripples spread across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina smiled faintly. \"If I remember correctly...\" she said calmly. \"It’s currently six wins for me and two for you, honey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius immediately looked offended. \"That sounds incredibly manipulated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s called reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve clearly edited the score.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crying already before the fight even starts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius slowly cracked his neck while mana began rising around him in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s hair floated even higher now as countless tiny colors shimmered faintly through the air around her like scattered light from gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere inside the training ground slowly changed. The playful mood disappeared little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth stepped forward slightly before raising one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" she said calmly.\"Now that both of you are ready...\" A faint smile appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1477,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","24a74873f92c3119c982da4ff1a7aee0cdd226c20cfda372289e311184e8a35f","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-3","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-2",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
