His eyes were full of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A mother’s life is truly difficult,’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth forced a small, polite smile at the people around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned her gaze back to the saint candidate, Uriel, standing calmly on the small sacred platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What do you want, Julius?’ she thought, staring hard at his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why would you use an avatar for the church of all places? What crazy plan are you cooking up this time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach twisted with nerves. The boy in front of her looked nothing like her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle smile, kind eyes, soft face, completely different from Julius’s usual sharp, mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she knew exactly why no one else, not Lucian, not Dean Orin, not even the Pope, had a clue this was an avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Soul Avatar spell...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name alone made her heart skip. A nervous little frown appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spell was ancient, created by the 10th patriarch of the Hayes clan almost a million years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super powerful, super secret... and super dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the worst part?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’ had taught it to Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was only ten years old, she had been terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if someone kidnapped her precious baby boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he escaped but they chased him down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted him to have a way to trick them, to send out a fake version of himself while the real one ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she taught him the Soul Avatar spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew her smart, sneaky little genius would one day use it to become the saint candidate of the church?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa...\" Elizabeth let out a quiet sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At least the spell’s biggest weakness had worked in Julius’s favor this time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Uriel’s back, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell was terrifying because it could change almost everything, face shape, body height, voice, even the way someone moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was one thing it could ’never’ change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eye color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hair color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could dye the hair, sure, but it always looked fake, too flat, too perfect, not natural. And the eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible to fake. They stayed exactly the same as the real body’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s natural eyes were bright blue, just like his father’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right after he was born, they turned golden overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Elizabeth and Nathaniel knew the truth. To the whole world, Julius had golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, as Uriel, the eyes were blue again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the hair? Long, shining blonde, exactly like hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Elizabeth hadn’t spotted that tiny golden dot in his right pupil (a little secret birth mark only she and Nathaniel would recognize), she never would have known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius had changed the facial bones, shifted the structure completely, nose, jaw, cheekbones, everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face looked soft and angelic now. Totally different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those eyes... that one golden speck hiding in the blue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Got you, you little troublemaker.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth’s lips twitched. Half smile, half grimace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned back in her seat, trying to look relaxed while her mind screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My old self taught him this spell to save him from kidnappers... and now he’s using it to prank the entire Holy Empire.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When I get my hands on you, Julius... we’re going to have a very long talk.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Uriel stood on the small sacred platform, looking out at the massive crowd with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blue eyes sparkled kindly under the bright sun, and the golden patterns on his white robe caught the light like tiny stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit,\" the Pope said softly from the edge of the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t step onto the holy circle, only the candidate was allowed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel lowered himself gracefully, folding his knees and sitting straight. He stared ahead calmly, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before you begin the trial,\" the Pope continued, \"I must warn you. You have to do everything yourself. No matter what happens... you are not allowed to make a single sound. Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Uriel answered with strong conviction. He nodded once, eyes steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And one more thing,\" the Pope added, her voice turning very serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to withdraw at any moment—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Uriel cut in firmly before she could finish. He turned his head to look straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what happens, I will complete this trial. I will serve the children of the Goddess... even if I die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth suddenly started coughing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just taken a sip of water from a crystal glass when those words hit her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water went down the wrong way, and she choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on the platform turned to her instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay, Lady Elizabeth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should drink more slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies,\" she managed between coughs, waving her hand weakly. \"I didn’t mean to... ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She straightened her back, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and forced her face back into calm composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, though? Her mind was screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He can really act!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel, who had been interrupted, turned his gaze toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave her the gentlest, most innocent smile, like a sweet child who had no idea what he’d just done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This brat!!’ Elizabeth gritted her teeth so hard her jaw hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I swear when I get my hands on your real body... you’re going to regret every second of this performance!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel looked back at the Pope without missing a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, as I was saying... no matter what it takes, I will become the Saint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes softened more than anyone had ever seen. A single tear rolled down her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled, the warmest, proudest smile imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire crowd went quiet for a moment... then soft sniffles started. People wiped their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dean Orin and Professor Lucian, men who had zero connection to the church, looked touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They blinked quickly, pretending dust had gotten in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How brave...\" someone whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth looked around in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They’re really buying this? How?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was moved. Bishops nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor gave a small, approving nod. Even Jaya Balan dabbed at her eyes with a sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This brat really knows how to act,’ Elizabeth thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep down... a tiny part of her felt proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was only an avatar, a piece of his soul split off and shaped into this perfect, gentle boy, it still carried Julius’s real personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His memories. His charm. His sneaky talent for winning people over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Okay! Now that you’re ready,’ the Pope said, voice thick with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held out a small, shining dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade looked ancient, carved with holy symbols that glowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Pope handed the dagger to Uriel...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth gulped so hard it hurt her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the boy on the platform, at her son’s avatar holding a weapon that would bring real pain to the original body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Real body of my Julius... be ready,’ she prayed silently, hands clenched in her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Because you’re about to feel every single bit of pain your little stunt double is about to take!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1238,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae072143939a62905b430886a0cf0228777729f5f09e63f311c91806cc692040","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-120","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-119",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
