Wicked Reincarnation - Chapter 257

“Aiden! Stay here, don’t run away!”

“Bleh! Catch me if you can! You’re too slow!” a little boy stuck his tongue out. As fast as his little legs could take him he raced through the inner courtyard of the palace. In the pavilion, a beautiful woman sat.

Dignified she put her teacup down and said, “Aiden come here.”

In an instant, the cute boy with slightly chubby cheeks put all of his overflowing energy to run to her, “Mum!”

“Good, don’t run too much. Aren’t you tired? Drink something,” Lia held a cup of water to her son and sighed softly as she stared into the face that was almost the spitting image of Yano.

“I was just keeping dad company. He gets lonely if I don’t play with him!” and he had the same personality as Yano, but it was refreshing to see someone, especially a young kid, mess with Yano.

With a smirk, Lia looked at Yano who was sulking and turned to them, “Wifey, you should dote on me more. I’m thirsty too.”

“Don’t you have hands?”

“Wifey…” ever since their son was born a few years ago, Lia barely showed Yano affection.

Yano knew it, they should’ve waited until the end of their lives, maybe even the afterlife before having kids. Now his own son mocked him with a smirk. Lia might say Aiden was like him but Yano totally saw a mini version of Lia!

“Dad sucks!”

“Kuagh,” Yano admitted defeat as he cuddled himself next to Lia. Lia’s son was too vicious!

Why was he trying to hog Lia all to himself? Was it because he had his genes? Shouldn’t he show his dad some love and respect? Seeing how Aiden made himself comfortable in Lia’s lap, Yano tightened his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.

It was all Yano’s fault. He was too greedy. He shouldn’t have done it day after day, night after night with Lia, at least he should’ve properly made sure Lia wouldn’t get pregnant just after almost 100 years. He wanted more alone time with Lia! Dammit. Just a meagre 100 years weren’t enough! Yano couldn’t wait until Aiden would grow old enough to start his own family!

“Lia,” Yano softly whispered, “I miss you.”

“I’m right here.”

“You know I don’t mean that. You barely give me any time.”

“You should spend more with your son.”

“Lia..” now Yano whined as he put his head on Lia’s shoulder.

“Dad’s clingy like a parasite.”

“You’re the smaller one, don’t throw stones in a glasshouse,” Yano ruffled Aiden’s hair.

“Oh, Nina’s coming to play, aren’t you looking forward to it?” Lia looked at Aiden who beamed but then had a grim expression, “Her dad’s scary…”

“Oh?” Yano’s tone turned dark, “What’s that commander doing?”

“Timo’s just protective of his daughter, I can’t fault him, since Aiden came after you.”

“Mum!”

“Wifey!”

Lia casually sipped her tea.

“Ah, why doesn’t Mil have a daughter?”

“You want to marry Aiden off?” Lia displeased pursed her lips, she disliked arranged marriages especially when they were still children.

“I won’t marry!” Aiden said proudly, “I’ll have my own hare-”

BAM

The cup in Lia’s hand broke and the shattered pieces scattered to the ground, “Repeat yourself Aiden. What did you just say?”

Both Yano and Aiden gulped. Yano sent Aiden a glare as Aiden helplessly begged Yano through his eyes.

‘You got yourself into this mess. Why would you say this?’

‘Mum misunderstood! I didn’t mean it like this!’

Aiden instantly grabbed a tissue from the table and cleaned Lia’s wet fingers, “Mum hear me out! I meant harem of pets! I’m not interested in love!”

“You say that now. You already know this cursed word, how are you sure you won’t turn into a crooked adult?”

“Lia, have some faith in your son, I only have a wifey as well and even if I seemed frivolous to you back then, I only had you in my mind. You were my first and only. Also just like Aiden, I didn’t think of love but now I’m only loyally loving you.”

Yano’s bullshit coaxing, trying to help his son out, slowly calmed Lia down.

“I will make you suffer in the abyss if you turn out to be a playboy.”

“Y-Yes! I swear I won’t!” trembling, Aiden jumped from Lia’s lap and ran into Maria’s arms as she, Timo and their daughter Nina arrived.

“Huh? What’s wrong Aiden?” Maria gently patted Aiden’s head as Timo looked like he wanted to laserbeam Aiden into the sky.

Lia got a headache. Why were they all so possessive?

“Lia,” Yano wrapped his hand around Lia’s, “Don’t be too strict, ok?”

He kissed her forehead, “Strict mums aren’t cool.”

“You’re too lenient and lax, someone has to be normal.”

Yes, Lia’s parents were like this as well. Her dad was carefree while her mum was strict, but Lia knew she was too harsh on Aiden, she sighed, “But alright, you are right. I overreacted.”

“Good, apologise to Aiden and then shove him to Timo’s and Maria’s place. Tonight’s just for the two of us.”

Lia blankly turned to a smirking Yano, “You have the audacity….”

“Yes,” Yano kissed Lia while Aiden complained to Maria and seemed very pitiful, “Maria, I made mum angry for no reason!”

“Aiden, don’t cry, don’t cry,” cute and adorable Nini with her pigtails hugged Aiden which made Timo’s laserbeam now scorching hot. Aiden sweated. Just what was he doing wrong that he seemed to offend everyone?

“What’s up with little AA crying?”

To everyone’s surprise, Skyla, Mil and their son Fabi came as well.

“Fabi wanted to play with Aiden. He was bored,” Mil explained.

Fabi had Skyla’s red hair but Mil’s personality, he nodded an ran to Aiden, “Want a candy? Aiden, Nina, today I’ve come with a newly created game!”

Both Aiden and Nina widened their eyes, “Really?”

They instantly wanted to play. Lia had some food and drinks brought to the table whilst they all sat around as the children were busy.

“So you made AA cry?” Skyla grinned and watched Mil eat like always.

“He has a bad influence,” Lia casually answered.

All eyes fell on Yano.

“Hey!” he felt wronged.

“What happened?” it was rare that Timo was interested but if I could take a jab at Yano, he’d take it.

“Aiden,” Lia called him here.

“Mum?”

“Tell them what you told me about not marrying.”

Feeling all the gazes on him, Aiden nervously said, “I-I only said that instead to marry, I-I want a harem…of pets…”

All eyes fell on Yano.

“Again, hey!”

“What’s a harem?” Nina and Fabi who followed Aiden didn’t understand.

“Indeed a bad influence. Nina, don’t listen to him,” Timo held Nina’s ears as Skyla cackled, “You guys gotta go to the Mortal World! Come, let’s all go together!”

“Skyla, if you say it like this, the Mortal World will be destroyed,” Maria sighed.

“True,” Lia thought so as well.

“By the way, lemme call Eri over. Tia would want to play with them as well,” Skyla nodded to Yano.

“Didn’t you say you call? Why me? I just want you guys to leave with the kids and Aiden as well”

“So honest. What else are your powers good for? Hurry.”

“I’m so convenient, huh? Wifey praise me?”

Lia glared at Skyla who turned to Mil, “Eat slowly. Have something to drink.”

Lia who was ignored hissed, “Just do it, or Aiden will stay tonight.”

Beaming, Yano instantly formed a circle, Holn picked up, “Yo, what’s up?”

“Bring Tia over her and let the kids play.”

“Alright,” Holn said as Eri shouted, “Tia, don’t you dare play a prank on the neighbours! Holn, you bas-” the line was cut off.

“They get splendid along,” with a corner of his lips tugged upwards, Timo amused drank his tea.

Who knew in the end, Eri and Holn really got together, married and even had a daughter?

There was also another surprising couple.

“Ah, call Susa here as well!” Maria clapped her hands and once again Yano was used as a convenient phone.

A short while later, Susa and Lu appeared together.

“Come over!” Holn shouted. His teasing got a lot better, especially since Eri had an iron-strong grip over Holn.

Susa and Lu only recently got married. Just like Skyla and Mil they took their sweet time before being sure of their feelings and confessing to each other.

“Hey, guys,” Susa smiled and led Lu to the table.

Her eyes wandered to the children and was caught by Eri, “And thinking of having kids?”

“We just recently got married!” Susa blushed and Lu nestled his head against hers, “So cute.”

Everyone still couldn’t get used to Lu’s lovey-dovey nature.

“Don’t tell me he was lazy even during your honeymoon?” Holn grinned but got a slap on the head from Eri, “Be quiet. I bet his skills are 1000 times better than yours!”

“That’s not true! You love it when I do it a certain-”

“Shut up!” the conversation at the table turned joyful.

Lia let herself be embraced by Yano as she watched this beautiful sight in front of her and indulge in this wonderful time.

The happiness she thought she could never attain, now was with her for a long while and for an eternity to stay.

She had everything she wanted, everything was perfect.

“Are you tired?” Yano whispered seeing Lia closing her eyes with a smile. Lia shook her head, “Just enjoying the breeze.”

“Good, good, I was worried. You won’t be getting any sleep until Aiden comes back. In a week.”

Lia’s face blanked. Yano’s drive was too wild, his stamina too insane and his appetite too large. Lia froze, “Susa do you mind if I stay for a week at your place?”

“Wifey!”

Hearing this everyone giggled. Truly, this was wonderful. A life Lia has always wanted.

***

A very strenuous and tiring week later, where all Lia could do was to lay in bed, news of the others returning made it to her ears.

Xavi, Lily, Mika, Nana and Noel have taken their turn to go to the Mortal World to oversee it. They have wanted to be stationed there for a while. And finally got the chance after various matters in the Immortal World were settled. Lini wanted to throw them a welcome party.

“They’ve only been away for 5 years,” Zero still disliked everything Lini suggested.

“It’s still long. Can’t we?”

In Lia’s studies, these two almost adults but still children in their hearts stared at Lia with big eyes.

They have matured a lot. Lini has become a great beauty while Zero grew more and more handsome, leaving his tender beauty behind to break many female’s hearts.

“Only if you organise it. I don’t have time,” Lia finally said.

“Yup, Zero and I will do a great job!”

“Why me too?” Zero scowled but was instantly dragged away by Lini just like an owner taking a dog for a walk wanting to lock their door but was zoomed away by their impatient dog. Lia laughed.

Two days later, the small welcome back party inside the palace was thrown. Lia’s assistant was dragged to organise it with the sweet promise of getting Mortal World snacks. And he wasn’t disappointed.

Once the five came back, Noel gave the assistant a large bag full of everything he could ever dream of. Bathing in bliss, the assistant sat at a table with the other attendants and munched happily away.

“Look at you growing all big,” Lia still loved to tease Xavi.

“Your highness, I beg your pardon but I have already been since many years ago,” Xavi crossed his arms before laughing.

Precisely 60 years ago, the curse on Xavi’s power was lifted. It was all thanks to Oldie. Feeling that his end was near, Oldie used his power one last time using himself as a sacrifice.

His death was mourned greatly by the whole Immortal World. He couldn’t even live long enough to see his grandson but he lived long enough to see his own son healthy and happily married.

This was well enough for Oldie. Now, Xavi was a handsome male who still had a bit of childishness in his appearance but this was his charm.

“You’re not greeting me?” Mika looked around and a little smile formed on his lips.

Lia also couldn’t stop teasing Mika, so she ruffled his hair and said, “Good boy.”

Mika was instantly annoyed, “Where’s Aiden?”

Surprisingly Mika liked Aiden a lot.

“Did you find a partner yet?”

Mika rolled his eyes, “I’ll find one when I like one.”

“This guy’s standards are too high! While Noel accepted all the female exorcists’ compliments, Mika returned praise with scorn! You ought to have seen the poor girls not even daring to approach him!” Lily teased.

“Mika’s just Mika,” Nana grinned, “I’m also happy with being single. My siblings are all I need.”

“Another fanatic,” Lily sighed.

“Well, there’s still time and no need to force it,” Lia grinned, “Let’s celebrate your return…”

“You make us out to be warriors coming from a 30-year long war,” Xavi however didn’t need to be told twice as he looked at the sea of sweets.

The party went by with everyone drinking until they collapsed on the floor. The children were moved by the attendants to the bed while the parents were a disgrace until the next morning.

However, Yano brought Lia back to their bedroom before Lia could also be drunk. What she should get drunk on was his love.

“You’re unbelievable,” Lia giggled as she wrapped her arms around Yano’s neck and kissed him.

“Mhm, I like it when my wife is proactive.”

Lia rolled her eyes and laid in Yano’s arms, “You’re stupid,” but it was said with so much love and infatuation that Yano couldn’t help but go for the third round.

“Really unbelievable!” Lia was really at her wit’s end with Yano’s stamina.

However, she enjoyed being with him until Yano groaned, “We really should’ve waited for 1000 years more before getting a child.”

“Very funny,” Lia nestled into Yano’s arms and tapped his nose.

“I’m serious, if you think about getting another child then wait until never, because my wifey’s all mine,” Yano went in for a deep kiss and Lia lost herself in Yano’s warmth, his scent, his touch, everything about him.

Yes, Lia was happy. Everyone was happy. No more suffering, no more anguish and sadness nor pain.

Just a happy life.
