Chapter 280: People crave what they lack
Chapter 280 – People crave what they lack
"Wanna know them?" Aurelia asked, and without much surprise, Asaemon nodded eagerly.
Aurelia smiled as she slowly sat back on the lush, green grass, her delicate body folding gracefully, making herself comfortable in that casual yet regal way she always had when she knew she held knowledge no one else did.
"I told you I think the youngest’s power is related to fate and others, and that’s why it was not so easy to find him."
Asaemon nodded in understanding, sinking into his chair made of fleshy roots that adjusted themselves to fit his frame like a loyal beast.
"But I also told you that he had many wives. They were protected by some kind of power, but that power was clearly not enough to hide from my skill and so..."
She smiled quietly, eyes distant.
"...I was able to see some things. Some truly interesting things, but I guess what you want to know is their location."
Asaemon nodded again, annoyed but quiet, thinking his sister was just deliberately taking her time to answer one damn single question—but he stayed silent, not wanting to ruin this moment that might finally lead them to their mysterious youngest.
"I couldn’t see it clearly," she said, her voice still calm, "but from what I saw in their recent past... they were in a space full of shadows."
The moment Aurelia said those words, Asaemon’s eyes lit up in recognition, the realization hitting him like a beam of light through fog.
"The Shadow Realm!" he exclaimed with joy, slamming his hands on the fleshy armrests of his throne.
