★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★a

A affectionate smile kissed Shayla's face like sunshine kisses water, and she hugged him tightly on that spot, not minding the dead bodies lying around, the blood on the ground or the one staining their own faces.

When she felt his arms around herself too, her smile turned warmer.

"You... you're the most important person to me in the world, too. Just you." She said.

Ryker broke the hug slowly, smiling...

"Are we...finally boyfriend and girlfriend?" She asked with a thudding heart.

Ryker just smiled again, looking away.

"What's that smug smile?" She made faces. "I just asked a question and you should give me a repl—"

"Do you want it written on your forehead?" He cut her off.

"That?" She blinked.

"That you're Ryker's girlfriend?" He replied, and her smile blossomed more. She stood on her tippy toes.

"Boyfriend," she called.

"Hmm," he replied.

She hugged him again, tighter and with a possessive knotted hold on his robe at his back 

"Gosh, I just love the sound of it." She said on his shoulder.

"You're such a baby," He replied, and she chuckled, kissing his neck.

They returned to her fire palace.

[Royals Cemetery]

The cemetery is located at a downhill between the East and West Palace, covered by the shed of mighty trees.

It's always noisy with the cries of black birds small on top of the trees, but tonight, no birds. Just the breeze.

There's a Low Royals space for the West Palace, and a High Royals space for the East.

The Millions family are currently at the high royals space where Jude's body is on the ground, lying on top of a flat iron beside the dug earth.

Even Rivera came with them.

They all wore black, and their faces all look grin as if Jude's demise was really very painful.

Mercury didn't even need this burial to stay sad before, she has always been sad since this godawful wedding, and tonight that she was forced to come pay last respects to a family member that's not even her family, her sadness skyrocketed.

With black under-eyes, she read the farewell lines with the whole family, but things didn't go as she expected.

After the farewell eulogy, Jude's body should go down the grave, but instead of that, Granny Tara stepped forward with a long knife.

She knelt beside Jude's body, bringing the knife down to his chest. 

She stabbed once, twice on the same spot—his heart.

Mercury stepped back with a gasp, but Esme held her tight, dragging her back to the front.

Seems like she's the only one who didn't know about this beforehand cos everyone else looks normal.

"Why would she stab a corpse we're here to bury!!" Mercury yelled at Esme.

"Tie her to a tree if she keeps crying! She can't ruin this ritual!" Zeke snapped from his side.

Mercury's arms dropped,her tears entering her nose. "Ri...tual?"

Granny Tara brought the knife down to Jude's chest for the third time, and it split up.

She dropped the knife on the ground and dipped her hand into his chest, pulling out his heart.

Mercury fainted.

Esme took off her suit jacket and covered her with it on the ground, not bothering to even wake her.

"How did that kitty cat become a member of your dark family?" Rivera whispered beside the twins.

"Blame it on my father for marrying a slût," Sadie rolled eyes at Esme.

Soren was silent.

Granny Tara stood with Jude's heart on her two palms, blood dripping from it to the ground dried leaves.

Pearl stretched a stainless tray forward, Tara placed the heart on it.

"Invoking of the dark night evils, through the tunnels of satanism and powers of hell combined, I taste!"

She faced the family members after that, stretching the tray to them...

"You taste!" She continued, and the family members replied...

"We taste!"

Tara took a bite from Jude's heart first, chewing it crunchily in her mouth before handing the tray to Zeke who took the second bite.

Esme had the third bite, then Sadie.

"You do not need to bite, Soren." Tara instructed.

"I never planned to bite that," Soren rolled eyes.

The tray was passed on to Pearl, and she had the largest bite.

Esme took Mercury's portion and shoved it into her mouth unconsciously, forcing it down her throat.

Rivera as a non-member of the family...she didn't taste.

Jude's heart-less body was pushed into the grave, buried like that.

Everyone wiped his heart blood away from their lips before they departed from the cemetery.

The figure in red cloak emerged from the center of the trees.

At the same time, Lilith emerged from the other side.

Lilith walked dauntingly to the grave, walking on the sandy surface with an hand to her chin.

"Can the Millions Family get any darker? Using their dead member for a heart-eating satanic ritual?" She scoffed, clicking her tongue.

"This is enough to make headlines tomorrow morning," she turned to leave, but her butt landed on the ground when she saw the imposing figure in red cloak.

It's talk like a giant, commanding fear even without doing anything. 

Lilith felt cold chills, her short legs tilled the ground as she shifted back on her butt.

"Who... who're...you?" She stammered, skittish.

The figure took one large step towards her, and that was it...

She stood to her feet, running madly down the groove of trees.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Her banshee screams shook the forest as she ran, and trees fell in arrays behind her without stopping.

That helped her keep the figure away till she arrived at the main road where she stopped to look back at the dense woods.

The last tree fell right in front of her, and she began panting, walking backwards.

"Who was...that?" She muttered, but then she stumbled on someone behind. She felt chills again.

Her breaths stopped.

She turned around swiftly to see it's the figure!

"Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She banshee-screamed again, dashing into the opposite forest. Trees crumbled with loud violent screams behind her, cracking and tearing.

She didn't look back, didn't stop till she left the forest and entered the second road.

Another twenty minutes run, she entered the Lannister household.

She ran past the household elders in the quarters before she got inside, and everyone stood, wondering what's chasing her.

Even Granny Jojo stood.

"What's chasing you?" The old woman asked, and for a second, Lilith forgot about her run.

"Granny...you can talk now? You can hear now? You can see?"

"The demigod is back, so her deformities are gone. I think he pardoned her already." One of the elders clarified.

Lilith spranged up.

"My husband is back?"

"Can you quit saying that?" Jojo scoffed. "It's your wishful thinking, wearing a self-crafted ring and secretly getting married to him means nothing. Now that he's back,you better be careful. Heard he killed ten people already, you might be next in line."

Lilith rolled eyes, taking a deep needed breath.

"I went to the royals cemetery, and I met a figure in red, I swear it was faceless. No face at all. Normally, my banshee scream is enough to chase anyone away from my tail, but it's not an ordinary person. I don't even know if it's a male or female but the presence was chilling." Lilith explained.

"A figure in red? All red?" Jojo sat back, looking unconfused.

"Wait...you know whoever it was?" Lilith asked.

"Why were you at the cemetery in the first place?" Granny Jojo asked, avoiding Lilith's question.

"I recognize Zeke's favorite car...that Ferrari. I saw it alongside two other cars at the express. I got curious that he was on his way to do something illegal with Esme, so I followed. You won't believe what I saw!" Lilith sat.

Even the elders surrounded her at this point, all getting curious.

"A heart-eating ritual! They ate Jude's heart after Tara invoked some satanic spirits!" Lilith said.

"What!" Jojo gasped.

"I'm telling you, I couldn't watch anymore at a point. They all ate expect Soren and the new twins friend Rivera...it was eew!" Lilith cringed.

"They buried him heartlessly, meaning he's never going to reincarnate." Granny Jojo muttered, standing from her chair.

"Azura was kind before getting married to Zeke, I dunno how Zeke influenced her to become as evil as him, and she had to die gruesomely like that in the hands of Ryker. Now the same Zeke ate my grandchild's heart?" She muttered.

The house was silent.

"What's their purpose? Why are they so in need of dark powers?" She muttered again.

"Why else? Cos they're going to face the demigod and goddess. Also, they want the godslaying sword according to tidbits." Lilith said.

"The sword," Jojo faced Lilith. "Get ready, we're off the a temple tomorrow to go start searching for the sword origin." 

"You want the sword too? Why?" Lilith asked.

"Once I get my hands on it, I'll hand it over to Ryker myself, it's enough to prove my loyalty." Jojo replied.

"He killed your daughter" Lilith mumbled shockingly.

"Azura deserved to die!" Jojo glared.

"Right..." Lilith nodded.

"Careful, Jojo. You can't get noticed by any of the Millions Family. Now that they had the most satanic ritual in this city, they'd by every means be the strongest family in this city again. Don't get hurt." An eldernsaid worriedly.

"I won't," Jojo smiled, facing Lilith again.

"I'll go prepare for our temple journey," Lilith quickly said, rushing inside the room.

[Liza Kings Mansion]

"Check this out!" Kade handed Liza a flat tablet.

She's eating fruits in her study room.

With a grimace, the woman took it, scrolling fast to read every bit of the breaking news.

"The demigod is back? Killed ten people already?" She laughed, standing from the sofa.

"If he wasn't already my daughter's partner, I'd be down bad for him too. He's cold, but too hot at the same time. I knew he wasn't dead. I mean... come on! It's the millennial ice god we're talking about!" 

She nodded, lowering the tab, "but too bad he's gonna die before my daughter. By all means, I'll make my daughter kill him and ascend the nine heavens alone."

"You're saying... you'll still visit her Fire Palace despite this development?" Kade said surprisingly.

"Why not? My daughter doesn't hate me! If she hated me, she'd have killed me when I went there some days ago. The fact that her ruthless partner is back won't mean a thing. In fact, I could use myself to drive a wedge between them. Imagine Ryker hurting me, and Shayla getting mad at him cos of it, that might give me a opening." Liza explained.

Kade sighed, wordless.

"I'm making dinner by the way, twin boy..." Liza winked, entering the kitchen.

"She has to be the most delusional bîtch in this city," Kade shook his head, throwing his weight on the sofa

[Millions Family Penthouse]

Since the family came back from the ritual, they've all been sitting round the meeting table, everyone except Mercury who's in the restroom, trying to vomit the heart she ate with ear-numbing cries.

The faces of everyone at the table is into their phones, currently reading the news of Ryker's arrival.

"How? Why? Why is he f+kin back!" Sadie spranged up.

"You weren't expecting him to die just like that, were you?" Soren replied beside her, and Sadie sat back.

"Pa, you knew he wasn't gonna die too?" Sadie faced Zeke.

"He's a demigod, the most powerful in existence at that, you expect his father's poison tears to really end him?" Zeke smirked.

Sadie folded her fists.

"Also, he has been fooling y'all with the fake FrostOrb for years, and I'm impressed, I swear. My husband ain't a deadbrain." Pearl smiled.

"Shut up, Pearl. You aren't even supposed to be at this meeting." Soren glared.

"Why? Cos I'm carrying a powerful child that's not your mate?" Pearl laughed, the sound annoying to the ears. She rubbed her belly again.

"If his FrostOrb was inside his body, the poison tears wouldn't have worked on him. It's somewhere hidden, Soren will lead us there." Zeke said.

"What do you mean lead you there?" Soren scoffed.

"Don't be too forward," Rivera held his shoulder lightly with two taps. "You might be the golden boy of this family, who knows?"

Soren shook her hand away, and Rivera grinned.

"When will the East Palace rebuild be done?" Esme asked.

"In two days, we'll be moving back to the East, I'm tired of this Penthouse too." Zeke replied, caressing her two arms sensually.

"Nothing is killing the demigod if not the godslayer sword," Granny Tara said, clearing Sadie's thoughts.

"I and Soren branded Xena as slave on her forehead, what if that demigod sees it and comes here to kill?" Sadie said.

"You know he'd never work that way, that bastard will wait for the right time before striking, but even if that right time comes, he won't be able to strike. We just completed a family heart-eating ritual, that's insane power already. Also, we have Soren." Zeke replied.

"And who exactly is Soren!" Sadie slammed her palms on the table, standing up quickly.

"He's my twin, and I have every right to know what's going—"

That was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell.

Mercury was coming out of the restroom when it sounded, so she went to the threshold, opening the door easily with her pale face.

Her paleness flew away the moment she saw Xena's face though.

"Finally, I found this penthouse," Xena exhaled happily.

"What are you doing here you whore!" Mercury pushed her.

"Stop it! I'm not here as an enemy!" Xena easily pushed her too.

The whole family converged at the door, and Sadie nearly tore her apart on the spot, but Zeke held her back.

"She knew coming here meant death, the fact that she took the risk means there's something important."

"As if I care!" Sadie snapped.

"Is she here to receive more brandings on her forehead?" Rivera snickered.

"Can tonight get any crazier?" Pearl laughed, studying her red nails.

"Why are you here? I believe Old Chef escaped the palace on the day of the feast. He's probably somewhere in the city." Granny Tara said.

"I'm not here for father, not here for Shay, not here for Ryker," Xena smiled, looking at Soren who has been significantly silent.

"Why are you here then?" Esme rolled eyes.

Xena smiled again.

Three minutes later, she's already inside the house, standing in the middle of the psychotic family members.

"I'm here to propose marriage to Soren." She said.

"You don't mean it!" Pearl bursted into laughter, nearly falling from her chair.

"How dare you come in here to spew absolute gutter rubbish! How dare you lowly thing!" Sadie stood.

"Sit, Sadie!" Zeke instructed.

"Pa!" Sadie yelled.

"Sadie, sit!" Granny Tara said too.

Sadie sat back, huffing.

Mercury's fists are tight, her nails digged into her flesh.

"If I wasn't a friend of the twins, I'd have missed all these dramas and I'd have cursed myself." Rivera chuckled.

"Did Ryker send you here to...spy?" Esme said dangerously.

"Ryker doesn't send spies if it's not his knights. He stayed in the Heartless Tower for years, and I know how he operates. Also, Ryker wouldn't send his beloved sister on a spy mission with those brandings on her forehead. She's real." Zeke sighed.

"I'm enemies with Ryker and Shay already, and I'm ready to join this family, pledge my alliance, be a good wife to Soren and tell y'all every secret I know about both Shayla and Ryker, in return..." Xena negotiated.

"In return for what?" Zeke asked.

"Help me find my father and my twin sister, and protect us well, both powerfully, and wealthily." Xena replied ambitiously.

"I wanna slap her pu+y till it bleeds,is she mad?" Sadie stood.

"Pa, Granny. Don't tell me you're going to bend to the wishes of this wench!" 

"I told you to sit, Sadie! I am the head of the family, not you!" Zeke yelled.

"I'll go rest at this point, happy family drama continuation," Pearl stood.

She left the large meeting room for her own room.

She entered the cozy room and shut the door, sighing and cracking her neck before walking to the floor-to-ceiling window to slide the glass open.

A cold refreshing wind blew in, causing her to smile.

"My husband is back in the city, of course the refreshing weather is back..." She muttered, breathing in.

She rested her palms on the glass, her smile turned evil. The red pearl sign on her forehead brandished.

"We're both ineligible, Ryker. The only difference is that I stole it in my first life, but for you...it was dumped on you in your first and present life." She muttered, sighing.

"Things will get clear soon, and divinity will be rearranged."

[Fire Palace]

The gods were holding hands as Shayla took Ryker around, showing him everything there is to see, down to her panty bag in her closet.

"The heavens are generous on me, my palace might be the most uncomfortable, but it's rich." She said as they came out of the closet together, hands still tangled.

"Your brag is sweet to the ears," Ryker replied.

"You do that all the time too..." She faced him with a slight pout.

"Do what?" He frowned a little.

Shayla cleared her throat, preparing to mimick.

"Unless I want to die, no one...I repeat. No one can kill me." She said it his voice, and he chuckled, lifting her up in a bridal style.

"But then, the heavens cheated me with the stature. I'm too small, and that's why you can always carry me easily, right?" She said, rubbing his plump ear shell.

"Sure, you're like an egg..." He replied with a lip tilt.

He's currently walking the thin hallway.

"I knew you'd say that," she rubbed his bare chest cos his robe is a dangerously low v-neck.

"The poison came from Anatoli," he finally talked.

"What! I was suspecting it, but I was holding myself back,  but it's actually true?" She gasped when they got to the fireside pavilion where he dropped her on a table.

He stood between her laps, bringing her legs to wrap on his waist so their bodies are gummed again.

"Poison tears isn't a common ability in this city, last time I came across someone who had it was one of the girls who tried to seduce me during my bamboo groove checks, and I killed her. The downside to it is that it only works on family members. You can't get the ability if you don't have mad hatred in your heart for your family." 

"The poison makes your heart shrink till it bursts, which is why I bled from the chest that day. I summed everything up, it has to be Anatoli." Ryker explained.

"Why exactly would he have such hatred for his family, including his late wife?" Shayla replied.

"Power hunt is a brutal driver, drives even the strongest crazy." Ryker replied, staring at her lips.

"But...when did you find out about the kind of person he was? That he killed Dominika and all that," Shayla asked, still curious.

"Beginning of this year," Ryker sighed. "Before that, I had my suspicions, but by January, i found out everything silently." 

"And you've been keeping it inside alone?" Shayla caressed his face.

"He's not worth my attention, he's only worth death, but that'd be after he finds the godslayer sword. I'm going to use him to find it, take the sword and destroy it myself." He said, his eyes still refusing to drop from her tempting lips.

"I heard...the sword is the only thing that can...um...kill us." She said.

He could hear fear in her voice.

"In our last lives, Pearl killed us with it, and since then, it has been missing, hiding within their f+ked up family. But don't worry, you won't die at my watch." He brought his face closer, lashes lowering, still on her lips.

"Soren...when I went to the city tower...my fire didn't work on him, and I'm still in awe..." She said, noticing he's coming close.

Her lashes went down too, meeting his approaching lips.

"Soren?" Ryker looked at her eyes.

"Maybe we could investigate together?" She whispered, resting her palms on the table surface.

"Yeah, tommorow. It's too tale tonight." He replied, finally sewing the space between them.

Lips met, tongues curled, arms gripped, and fingers held.

She had thought their kiss on the boat on the night of the feast was their deepest, but this right here topped that.

She was already panting for breaths in his mouth as his arms went thrown all-over her body, caging her to himself and eating deeper.

She moaned countlessly, the kiss tasting like a promise of forever to her buds. It tasted like bliss.

Even if she doesn't say it out, her chest is already slamming madly for this god, and she doesn't even want it to stop doing that.

It should get worse for all she cares. She wants every sickness that comes with it. She's greedy—for him.

She knotted her fingers on the collar of his robe, pulling him closer.

Spoiler; there was no space between them in the first place.

Ryker's hand went to the back of her head, holding her there and guiding her lips to pull, suck and bite.

He pushed the flower vases on the table away, and their breaking sounds on the floor played meaninglessly in their heads.

They pulled away at the same time, shared deep affectionate glances, lips pale from over-kissing.

"Don't stop kissing me, don't just stop it," Shayla whispered, eyes snapping shut as their lips collided again, fierce and hungry, and something else they both can't say.

Her hands peeled the top half of Ryker's robe away from his body.

The moment it dropped, he carried her away from that table, going inside with her, to the bedroom which has a white overall cover.

Like she weighted a wool, he placed her there gently, but she immediately switched their positions, coming up.

She deepened the kiss, sticking her tongue down his throat. Her hand went to his robe pants, digging inside.

She held his c+k boldly, rubbing the cap and sucking on his button lip. She's so drenched that her p@nties are full of the wetness, extending to her robe at the back.

Ryker's eyes opened, and the kiss broke for a minute.

"Look who's getting bold," he whispered, that deep voice made her n+ppl£$ punch through her br@.

She grabbed his right hand, pinning it above his head. Her fingers caressed his c+k again, from the base, his balls, to the top where she squeezed his cap softly.

"F+k! Firefly..." His defenses shattered, not leaving a single brick as his body stiffened. He got harder at the mercy of her hand, and she smiled before doing it again—with teasing tickling fingers this time.

"Uhh... Shayla... Shay...ahh!"

He growled without restraints, letting go completely, not trying to stop her or take dominance from her. He allowed her, and she ruined him totally within that minute.

He became a hot wreck, a slick mess, sweating under her. For the first time in his existence, he sweated.

She let go of his c+k, then pulled her robe up. With her wet p@nty still on, she sat on it, rubbing the cap on her entrance line like a tease.

"Darn...your highness..." He went stiff again, bones screaming. 

His flesh went bloodless. 

He was ruined once again, and just with that, he came on her panty.

"You just came, right?" She asked, the tiny voice going lower when she felt his drip on her panties...

"Are you gonna continue acting innocent after driving me crazy?" He replied breathlessly.

"Cheyenne said I was your first, that you haven't had any other female..." She whispered, bringing her lips close, teasingly again...

"I waited for you all my life, wouldn't climb any other woman..." He replied sincerely, and she smiled.

"Then it's mine. I mean you, your body, and your kiss..." She kissed him softly, licking his tongue.

"It has always been, now m0@n for me," he replied, tossing her and coming on top.

Spreading her legs, he pulled off her robe in one swift move, her br@ and underwear with another one.

Pink n+pple£$ so hard for him, tummy hollowed, eyes expectant, fresh p+$sy crying for his d+k.

It's crying so much, dripping.

"This pûssy will be the end of me," he kissed it deeply, tongue digging her cl+t0ri$ —licking her, then came back up to her face.

He buried himself inside her in one swift, sweet slide.

"Ahh....Ry. . .hhm"

[Human Realm, Cold-hearted Harem]

It's a cold night here, but that didn't decrease the numbers of slûts and whøres in the harem.

The ones at the gate are small in number compared to the ones inside the main house.

Rumi and Anatoli found that out since their two days stay in this place.

Caspian is a beast, always from one woman to another, nearly ten before the end of each day.

He never gets tired.

There's a disco party tonight for him and his company staffs to celebrate their upped sales, and the harem is overflowing with more ladies.

Turns out his company staffs are just man-slûts like him, and Rumi has soon so much n@kedn€$$ today that she might consider l£sbianism.

What are these ladies doing?

She shook her head disgustingly, taking her seat on a swing chair beside the filled green pool.

One of the company guys came to meet her.

"Hey, I'm Titus," he smiled, touching her bare laps since she's wearing a bikini thong.

"Then go fry yourself, fool!" She broke his wrist and pushed him into the pool with a loud splash, surprising everyone as she stood.

The only man she'd allow to have a taste of her cûnt is Soren. Just him.

She left the poolside, and two figures appeared from each corner.

Cheyenne and Sage.

They had sneaked their ways into this party with the guests list.

Cheyenne wore a bikini thong and a wide hat to cover her face, and her shape? It's insane. Her hips are to die for, first time she's not wearing her palazzo suit p@nts, and Sage had problem concentration.

Safe himself wore short knickers and and a black singlet, small hat to cover his face too.

They exchanged signals with their cups of champagne, then they went different angles, following Rumi.

Meanwhile, Rumi was still walking in the hall when she sighted something on her phone.

It's rare for lumi news to load in the human realm, but it did this time without her permission, and first thing she saw was Ryker's arrival.

"What the f+k!" She increased her running pace.

"Father!"

Anatoli appeared from the hall corner, and she bumped into him.

Her b♡♡bs mashed his chest, but she quickly stepped back.

"Look, he's back!" She showed him the news.

"I saw it," Anatoli sighed.

"Why so casual about it? You said your tears would make him disappear for months so that by the time he comes back, we'd have taken his wealth and we'd have the sword ready to kill him, but it's only been two weeks and some days! We have nothing on him yet!" Rumi spat.

"Calm down, I underestimated him, and yes it's my fault, but we're with Caspian, and I just found out Caspian isn't human at all. He'll be of help." Anatoli said.

"Where the hell is that pig? He's fuckin again?" Rumi rolled eyes.

"No. He went on a short journey and should be back in an hour," Anatoli hung his arm on her shoulder.

"I just hope Xena is fine," she sighed, following him down the lane.

"Trust my intuition," Anatoli replied, taking her back to the poolside.

Cheyenne and Sage came out of their hiding corners, following them.

Anatoli and Rumi gave each other a side smile. They're aware they're being followed.

[The Forsaking Vale]

Forsaking Vale is a realm located at more than hundred ladders below the Nine Heavens, a realm where gods and goddesses gets judged when their sins gets too overweight.

A realm where condemned gods aren't allowed inside the gate, where sinners are disgusting.

It's snowing heavily in front of the silver gate, and there's no ground or sand to see—just snow.

Snowstorm is always happening here, from eternity to eternity. Forever till forever, just like now.

The lights inside the gate are divinely bright—striking, but there's only one dim light in front of the gate.

The dim light shone directly on Caspian who's on his knees, shaking from the cold and teeth clashing from the torture of the snowstorm.

None of the divine beings or deities are ready to come out to him

He has been kneeling sickly here for three hours now, pleading...

"Pardon me!!!!" He yelled again, his forehead going into the snowfall to bow completely.

"Pardon me!!!" He yelled for the one thousandth time, raising and bowing and raising and bowing restlessly. He looks very energetic, determined.

"You've been begging here for years now, Caspian. Nothing will ever change, and an advise? Don't attempt to harm him, or you'll suffer a plague worse than leprosy." A divine voice came from inside the gate.

"But the millennial ice demigod mantle was mine originally!" Caspian yelled angrily.

"Did you forget what you said when you rejected the mantle twice?" The voice came again.

Caspian went mute.

"The heavens originally destined you with the millennial ice god mantle. It was planted in your spirit veins in your last life, but you rejected it, saying you didn't want to be stuck with one woman as your partner for life, so we gave your mantle to him in his mother's womb!" The voice turned cold.

Caspian's fists clenched.

"He died in the first life, and the mantle left his spirit veins. It came back to you as the original owner, but what did you do? You rejected it again! Saying you didn't want to be stuck with one woman for life! So we gave him the mantle in his mother's womb again," The voice calmed.

Caspian looked up.

"Why are you suddenly interested in taking the mantle back? Cos the mantle carries wealth greater than yours? Or because you set your eyes on his partner, and grew lust for her?" The voice continued.

"I am the original owner of the ice mantle! And it's an obvious fact that my partner will never grow a love thread for him no matter what! He has the mantle? Doesn't matter, I own it, now I'm ready to take it back! You know what happens if she starts suffering backlash for having the wrong partner!" Caspian threatened through his jaws.

He stood and dragged Shayla's picture out of his pocket, turning it to the gate as if showing the deities.

"My spies in Luminaria sent me this picture of her. This beauty? I swear on my life, I'll take her back, take my mantle back, and take everything else that belongs to me from Ryker. I don't even have to touch him, I have servants..." He laughed, turning around and going down the gate.

"They'll never grow a love thread for each other, and without the love thread, they'll never ascend nine heavens. Without nine heavens after their one year of being together, their cold and warm aura will stop working as treatment for both of them, cos I am the original, the blueprint!"

He looked back at the gate, grinning shortly.

"Watch how I take what's mine. Every fuckin thing, away from Ryker."
