Son of Light 15
Her voice was still so pleasant and so superior. Even when she took the initiative to humble herself and comfort Zes, Zes understood that she thought she had done nothing wrong and that she was a perfect princess. It was he who was being unreasonable and trying to play some love game with her that was the real fool.
Zes finally understood that she didn't really like him and that was why she insisted on marrying him. He was just the most suitable and easiest one among the princess's choices of a son-in-law.
Zes felt extremely humiliated. He stopped trying to confuse himself and actually had the intention to kill.
Not only did he want to kill this woman completely, he also wanted his child to live under his feet and be trampled into the mud for the rest of his life!
The only pity is that this stinky woman actually swore that only after his child came of age and became a young duke, all her property would be controlled by the Sadliya family.
Because the oath was cursed with magic, if he broke it, all the properties would have to be returned to the royal family.
Such a huge fortune is enough for Sadria to survive for less than a hundred years.

"So, you're going to kill a living person just for your pathetic self-esteem?" Aiden exclaimed in disbelief.
"You should know that love isn't what you want most, power is! If you truly loved your mother, why didn't you make it clear when you met the princess? Why didn't you resist? Why didn't you refuse? And yet you married the princess and enjoyed the good things that power brings.
"At the same time, you feel wronged and sad for the woman you love. Where does all this resentment come from? You should know that there are many people in this world who are born into misery and desolation. They have never enjoyed a good education. They spend their entire lives just to fill their stomachs. And you have ruined the lives of two women just for your own selfish desires!"
Zeth looked at his son, whom he had high hopes for, and his son's handsome face was full of fear. He looked at him as if he was looking at a monster. Zeth heard Aiden's lips slightly open, and he uttered cruel words clearly word by word, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Aiden says
"You are a complete beast."
"Shut up!"

Luli closed the magic ball in front of him and closed his eyes silently. He had wondered why his father and stepmother disliked him, but he didn't expect it was because of this.
Through remote magical surveillance, he slowly formed a picture in his mind of a woman who was completely different from Zeth from what Zeth said.
His mother, Hill, was a gentle woman. Although she died when Luli was very young, Luli still vaguely remembers how his mother would gently caress him, hum lullabies to him, and stay by his side all day, playing with him...
Luli's heart, which had been dead silent, began to beat slowly, and his anger was rekindled. He looked at the territory that was so close to him, and his heart gradually sank.
The wedding of Aiden and Princess Sera was grand and magnificent, with petals flying all over the sky, priests offering blessings, and the current Emperor and the Queen attending in person in their splendid attire, bringing supreme honor to the famous Sadria family.
Amidst the grand celebrations, Luli and the paladins of the Temple of Light finally entered the venue.
The Son of God who walked towards him was wearing the crown representing the Son of God. The robe was pure white, and golden lines were faintly flowing on it as he walked. It was actually a top-grade defensive magic weapon. In his hand, he held a man-high scepter. The scepter was silver-white and engraved with intricate forbidden spell patterns. On top was a light magic stone the size of two fists.
His long silver hair was braided and hung on his left side, his blue eyes were as deep as the sea. As he walked, the golden tassel earring hanging on his right earlobe swayed, and the flawless face of the Son of God gradually appeared in everyone's sight.
With the sound of gasps, the paladins came silently to the sides of the road, raised their swords above their heads, and Luli walked through them without changing his expression.
In silence, he came before the emperor to pay his respects, while Duke Zeth, who was standing beside him, had a strange expression on his face, lowering his head as if in fear and disgust.
The emperor exchanged a glance with the envoy from the Temple of the God of War not far away, then dodged Luli's greeting by moving sideways. What a joke! The Temple of Light was at its peak now, and even if he was the emperor of the Frey Empire, he would not dare to easily accept the greeting from the future Pope.
Luli didn't care and stood up expressionlessly. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the emperor looked at Luli's face for a moment with a kind look, and sighed with a smile.
"The Holy Son looks so much like my long-deceased sister, the Princess Hill. If she were still alive, she would surely be very pleased to see her son grow up so big now."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Zes's face turn dark, but Aiden's expression was also indescribably strange. Luli looked up at the emperor without any expression on his face, and did not reply. He just raised his hand to stop the paladin behind him who wanted to draw his sword.
The emperor froze. He couldn't tell how Luli would react, so he had to abruptly change the subject. Then everyone started laughing again.
Luli sat in a high seat and didn't pay attention to the looks from Duke Zes and Aiden from time to time. It was not until the evening party when Aiden came up to him and saluted that Luli opened his eyes and looked at him.
His so-called younger brother was looking at him with an expression that was difficult to describe. Before Luli could ask, Aiden spoke on his own.
"May the light be with you, Your Highness, may I have a moment with you?"
Luli looked at him quietly for a moment, nodded slightly before the other person's stiff and awkward expression collapsed further, and finally spoke the first words of the day.
Luli said:
"May the light be with you, alright."
In the reception room, the maid shyly brought tea and snacks. Just as she was about to put down the teacup, she was stopped by the paladin beside her. Theodore raised the magic ball in his hand seriously. A burst of white light passed through the teacup, and the magic ball emitted a misty green. The knight's handsome face relaxed slightly.
He said, "Please wait a moment."
The maid stared at this scene in a daze until she heard Theodore bend down and speak to the Son of God on the sofa beside her:
"Your Highness, the refreshments have been served. Would you like to eat?"
The noble and elegant Holy Son nodded dignifiedly, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes as he looked at the Paladin.
The Paladin immediately turned around and made a 'please' gesture to the maid. The maid then realized that the knight's action just now was just to determine whether there was poison in the snack.
Oh my God, God of War, how dare she poison me!
The maid no longer had any shy expression on her face. She placed the tea down nervously, then hurried out in a panic.
Aiden, who was sitting opposite, had been thinking about something with his head down and didn't notice what had just happened. At this moment, he frowned as he watched the maid hurriedly leave.
Luli silently picked up the teacup and took a sip. The taste was sweet and mellow. He looked at Aiden, his eyes as calm as a lake without causing a single ripple.
Seeing this, Aiden hesitated for a moment before begging, "Your Highness, could you allow your knight to leave the room and wait?"
Upon hearing this, Theodore immediately frowned in disapproval. He was about to say something when Luli raised his hand to interrupt him.
