Reincarnated in the Royal Family with a Plunder System-Chapter 37: Dark History (3/3)

Ryan’s eyes widened.

Eh?

He blinked. "Then that assasination attempt and everything..."

"Yeah, I needed to put the soul back into you at night for perfect harmonization. Well, technical stuff. But I obviously won’t get to meet you at night, so I handed your soul to an assassin and made him put the soul into you."

Ryan became speechless. "Then the wound on my head when I woke up?"

"Well, that happens after a soul is put back in. I gave him a potion to heal you partially. After that, I also cleared up the guards around this area to your mother’s room. You could easily heal that small wound by going to her."

Ryan became even more speechless. "Then what about the soul, why did you keep it with you all these years?"

That was the sole reason why he had been a classless prince.

If he had that, at least he would have been average.

Eleanor shook her head. "That part of the soul wasn’t with me. I sent it into another world. Earth, remember? That soul lived a whole life there before returning here.

"I waited all these sixteen years, watching your life on Earth, smiling, waiting to retrieve you. But when everyone started leaving you behind in strength, I just couldn’t wait any longer and sent a lightning strike in there. I killed your "Earth" identity to bring you back. Take that life you lived as your aunt’s gift for you."

"Aunt..."

Ryan felt overwhelmed.

This was too much of a surprise.

Yes, it was all such a coincidence. So obviously, it was more than what met the eye. He had never been attempted an assasination on. He had never been harmed by Eleanor—and in fact, all that she did was for his own benefit.

For him.

Even taking away his soul had a purpose.

Ryan looked at her with wide eyes, she smiled prettily. "Well, that helped you completely make the Shard of Infinity into a true part of yourself. Instead of a poison, it is now the world’s strongest tonic. The efforts hadn’t been in vain."

Right after the assasination attempt, Eleanor had come to see him just like this. She had checked him out, found no harm, and then walked away with a small warning. She hadn’t lashed out when he kissed her, she hadn’t made a fuss for him.

All for why?

Obviously because, to her, Ryan was just as much a son to her as he was to Lysandra.

He was her Ryan.

She had gone to see whether he had awakened a Class, and as expected—he had. She could feel it in his hold, he was stronger.

Ryan looked at her. He really looked.

He had always seen Eleanor as a mere political opponent, someone who wanted him dead. So, obviously, he had been willing to spite her. But now?

That had changed.

Now, Eleanor was family.

"By the way, why did you only reveal all of this now?"

She hummed. "Well, I came to reveal this the day before. But I was a bit surprised by the changes in you. Your personality had a bolder shift, your aura became more wild, and well—you were even arrogant enough to force a kiss on me. I was a bit overwhelmed."

Ryan was really ashamed this time. He had forced a kiss on her.

"That makes sense. So, why reveal it now?"

She smiled. "I wonder. Maybe I just did not want to be misunderstood any longer. Your mother was feeding you with too much bad opinions about me and I did not want the you with a fresh mind who returned from Earth to see me that way." frёeωebɳovel.com

"I see..."

They exchanged a glance.

Eleanor had such beautiful blue eyes.

Ryan leaned down and ghosted his lips over hers.

They exchanged breaths.

Then, a soft kiss. Lip to lip biting.

It became stronger.

His tongue entered inside her and they closed their eyes in deep reciprocation.

This kiss was different from the ones before.

This made them feel closer.

She pushed him away. "Now, I won’t say I just revealed my secrets for no reason. The truth is—I noticed your changes. New class, new skills. In fact, you even caught me recording you."

"Wait, wait, why did you record anyway?"

"Blackmail material for your mother, of course. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. Actually, think back—have I ever truly harmed you? Why are you still wary of me?"

Ryan coughed. "Instinct make me be wary. I’ve always seen you as an enemy."

She frowned. "It’s all that bitch’s fault."

"Let my mother be, she regrets it."

"She doesn’t love you, Ryan. Once she chose Seraphina, what makes you thinks she wouldn’t do that again?"

Ryan felt that wound in his heart stir again.

Eleanor planted a kiss on his lips again. "Don’t worry, okay? Just come and live with me from now on. You can bring Sera with you."

"Mother will be devastated if I did that," he said.

"Well, look at how sad her actions have made you. I would never make you so sad."

"She did it to make me special..."

"Special my ass." But then, she sighed. "Anyway, we can’t stay here like this. At least, in name—I am the King’s concubine."

"Now you are mine."

Eleanor raised her eyebrows. Then, she smiled. "Well, you wish."

She effortlessly slid away from his arms and appeared behind him. A fang gently bit on his earlobe, a voice whispered in his ear: "If you abandon Lysandra, sure. I’ll become yours, now."

He felt an electric thrill go up his spine.

But he sighed. "Don’t play political games with me, Aunt."

She chuckled in his ears. "Anyway, that’s my deal. If you want it, you can have it. And one more thing..." she smiled. "I already know about your training with Seraphina. She is acting as if it is just a simple muscle training, but I am sure it’s actual training right? Seraphina is good, so listen to her seriously. Learn well. Don’t waste my efforts—I truly am expecting you to break the human limit."

She paused.

"One more thing, I am one hundred percent pure by the way. No man or woman has ever touched me. Except one rascal of a nephew."

Then, she was gone.

Ryan took a deep breath of her scent—dick hard.

He blushed.

One cannot blame a man for being a man...
