Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 385  [Wedding By Blood] [37] [Aftermath]

"Get down, uncle," I said. "My neck hurts."

Jones' expression immediately turned colder as he looked down at me.

I gave a quick glance around me; the place was already a mess with a lot of things broken.

'Urgh, whatever.'

I sighed, looking back at Elijah.

"Get back."

He quickly turned to look at me as an enormous barrier made of mana started forming between us.

"H-Himmel! Hey!"

Ignoring the boy, I started to walk towards the fallen still floating in the sky.

"Can we talk?" I asked, looking at him.

Finally, Jones let his wings slowly lower himself until he gently landed on the ground.

His grey eyes never leaving me.

I made two chairs of mana for both of us to sit.

"Please," I said, groaning a little while I took my seat.

His smile slowly returned as he took his seat as well.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked, looking at me. "Surely it should be important, right?"

"Of course." I leaned back into the chair. "I want to know why."

He tilted his head, that same smile at the edges of his lips. "Why what, dear nephew?"

"Why did you kill grandfather?" I asked, staring into his eyes.

The smile dropped just for a second, and his fingers twitched on the armrest of his chair.

I caught it.

"You think it was so simple?" Jones asked, voice low. "That I chose to?"

"..."

He isn't going to answer that.

Well, not like I was interested in knowing, but it was one of the things that was never explained in the game.

Even though his death was a trigger for both him and Esmeray.

"Where is Killian and Avril?" I asked, leaning forward.

"They are safe," he replied. "Can we cut to the chase now?"

I nodded as I rubbed my palms on my thighs.

"Right," I said, looking at him. "You want the primordial god's weapon, don't you?"

Jones' smile twitched again, but this time he didn't bother to hide it.

"So you know." He leaned back into his chair, a hand lazily brushing the dust off his hair.

"I suppose there's no point pretending in front of you anymore, is there?"

"Let's make a deal," I said, keeping my emotions in check. "I will give you the weapon, and you will give me something good in return."
