Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 558: [A Society of Secrets] [5] [Help]

[Next Morning]

I looked up at the sky where the sun was just around the horizon.

I flew back to my mansion, feeling a new sense of refreshment.

Arawn had parted ways with me and had gone to visit his old house.

’...I wonder if he is looking for his brother.’

He had told me everything that Samyaza narrated to him.

The heist was successful and I even got crucial information about my own existence.

The Null Matter.

The matter that the Creator God used in order to create the souls of his four children.

’"He" must be really sure about his plans of reviving himself for "him" to make such a plan.’

Perhaps he foresaw the future and acted accordingly.

’I guess he is the only one who can use the Null Matter?’

[<"He" must have made some sort of security to keep you from using it.>]

’...Yeah.’

He did have a plan to kill us all, it would obviously be troublesome for him if we learned to use it.

’...What do you think about Samyaza’s plan?’ I asked her. ’...Can I believe him?’

[<You are better off believing a snake than any of those three brothers of yours.>]

Her reply was immediate and filled with hatred.

’...Yeah, he is definitely planning something sinister.’

I landed in the front garden of my mansion as I began to walk, folding my wings.

There was no one sitting at the front as it was still early in the morning.

I walked inside the house from the front gate and was immediately greeted by the maids.

They bowed to me and I just gave a slight nod and kept walking.

I was about to walk into my room but I stopped when I felt a heavy dose of divinity.

’....What’s with her?’

I changed my direction and headed towards Nymeria’s room, which wasn’t that far.

When I entered inside, I was greeted by a simple room with beautiful plant decorations that covered her entire window.

I could smell her fragrance in the room but I couldn’t see her. Turning my head, I looked at the bathroom where I could hear the shower.

"Nymeria?" I called her and the water stopped.

"Give me a minute." She replied after a few seconds.

I observed her room more as I rarely came here.

She had a queen-sized bed whose edges were also decorated with plants. A pair of clothes was placed properly.

On the side table, there was a photo of her with Nerrisa... and there was also my photo.

I glanced at the bookshelf and caught notice of a peculiar book hiding on the side.

’How to seduce a man?’

My lips twitched but I guess it made sense for her to have it.

’...Does she think I have no interest in her?’

The door of the bathroom clicked open and Nymeria walked out.

"....."

The problem was that she walked out wearing nothing but a towel on her body.

The towel barely covered her upper thighs while she held her hand over the cleavage of her chest.

Droplets of water fell from her thighs and hair, creating a puddle under her, her rosy skin didn’t help.

She cleared her throat in embarrassment. "What happened?"

I turned my head as I stopped ogling her.

"...You could have warned me," I said calmly.

With my head turned, I looked at her bed where her clothes were.

"It’s early morning." She said, walking towards the bed. "Did something happen?"

With a bold move, she began to remove her towel and I didn’t turn my head. My expression turned serious.

"I can feel a lot of divinity from you." I said calmly, watching her wear the nightgown. "Why is that?"

She wore the dress on her naked body before she turned to look at me.

"...I don’t understand it as well." She replied quietly. "This started last night, for some reason I am getting a lot of divinity from Anastasia."

I frowned, unable to understand why this would happen.

’Is Anastasia planning something as well?’

I kept my gaze steady on her face now.

The earlier moment passed just as quickly as it came.

I raised my hand and gently placed it on Nymeria’s shoulder.

Immediately I felt a lot of divinity flowing in her body.

"The same happened with Christina." She said in a quiet voice. "She also had a fever last night."

I frowned and asked. "Where is she now?"

"She is with Iffa and the others, roaming in the city." She replied, looking at my face. "Don’t worry though, she was fine in the morning."

I nodded my head, lowering my gaze and immediately noticing the two peaks on her chest.

Perhaps because of the cold shower or... me.

’Why is she turned on in the morning?’

[<Like you have any right to talk.>]

’Shut up.’ freeweɓnovel.cøm

I let out a sigh and walked towards the door. "I need to check you later for any abnormalities."

"I will be waiting." She said and I felt my lips twitch.

With a sigh, I walked out of the room and into the hallway.

Just as I was walking towards my room, I noticed the room beside me.

After thinking for a second, I walked inside the room which was open.

Just as I walked inside, I was immediately greeted with tons of paperwork all scattered around the floor.

I moved over them and looked at the bed where Zenith was lost in her own world, scribbling something on a paper.

"Ahem."

I cleared my throat and she immediately looked up at me.

A smile bloomed on her face as she jumped from her bed. "Guess what I found!"

"I can’t guess." I replied. "Tell me."

She pouted but it didn’t last long as she grabbed my hand and made me walk closer to her bed.

She pushed me onto the bed and sat on the other side with a bunch of books between us.

"The ritual diagram you gave me." She said in a cheerful voice. "I found something interesting in it."

She turned the book in my direction that was filled with runic symbols forming a diagram.

I recognized a few of them and after giving it a deep look, I mumbled. "It’s a sealing spell?"

"Not any sealing spell!" She replied brightly. "A spell that can seal a part of someone’s mind."

I immediately got interested as I looked at the spell once more. "It was in the ritual diagram?"

"Yes!" She replied. "Well, not quite, I had to make some adjustments to make it fit the criteria."

I leaned slightly forward, resting my elbows on my knees as I studied the diagram more carefully.

"...Show me what you changed."

Zenith’s eyes lit up immediately.

She shifted closer, her shoulder almost brushing mine as she pointed at a cluster of runes near the center.

"These here," she said. "Originally, they were meant to stabilize the outer layer of the barrier."

Her finger moved slightly upward. "But if you invert them... and connect them to this sequence—"

She quickly drew a few connecting lines. "They don’t stabilize anymore."

"They isolate."

I narrowed my eyes. "...Isolate what exactly?"

"The consciousness."

I looked at the diagram and began to memorize it just in case I ever needed it.

"How did you come up with this?" I asked, doubt clear in my voice.

Her smile dimmed down ever so slightly. "Mother helped me with this." she whispered. "And I also got the idea from Aimar—it doesn’t matter!"

She yelled in the end before she closed the book in frustration. "Urgh, I shouldn’t have shown you this."

I chuckled softly. "Why?" I asked. "Do you think I will steal it?"

"Go away." She replied, standing up and stretching her body. "I want to take a bath."

"Is that an invitation?" I asked.

Standing up, I began to unbutton my shirt, taking it off.

She looked at me, opened her mouth and closed it.

"Do what you want!" She said before she rushed inside her bathroom.

I chuckled in amusement, she had grown enough to not blush like a maiden.

Ignoring the bathroom which was slightly open, I walked outside of the room.

And just as I stepped out, I saw a girl at the end of the hallway.

Epione walked towards me, she looked at me and at the door from where I had walked out, half-naked.

"Isn’t this Zenith’s room?" She asked me while pointing at the door.

"...Yeah?"

"....I see." She replied and began to walk past me.

[<She is going to tell Christina~>]

’She is going to tell Christina...’

I sighed and turned around. "Epione."

She glanced back at me. "What?"

I said seriously. "I need your help."
