Villain: The Play of Destiny

Chapter 129 129

?"What disturbs you?"

Venessa asked as soon as she entered the lounge and sat adjacent to Keith and Amelia.

She looked at her son, who had his head resting in his wife's lap, and seemed a little lost as he stared at the ceiling.

In his right hand was a pendant, mystically black in colour, and it had a strange black diamond-like gem in its crest.

It was the very pendant that Princess Leilah had gifted to Rebecca, and Keith had borrowed it from his Fiancee for the night.

He blinked and then sighed before closing his eyes.

"You know exactly what bothers me, Mother." He lightly said.

Both Venessa and Amelia remained silent at his words, and the former did not deny what he said.

"Do we have to associate ourselves with her?" Venessa meaningfully asked after a few minutes.

Keith sighed in his heart at her words. He had gone through all the plans of Destiny he had read in all those novels in his dream, but Nyx was always a mystery in them, someone who could not be touched or understood.

"She's a Goddess of Darkness, Mother. A True Goddess, and even amongst all the Gods in existence, she's one of the strongest." He seriously said. "And if she wants to keep tabs on us or wants to associate with us, then we have no choice but to accept her terms."

Both the ladies frowned at his words, but stayed silent, waiting for him to explain what he meant by his words.

"The one that visited us today is just a mere clone of hers in this world. And even if she is just a clone, she's powerful enough to destroy our planet Gaia within a blink of an eye." As soon as Amelia heard his words, her body went stiff, and Venessa narrowed her eyes. "There are Billions of her Clones, and no matter what world we go to next, she will be there, waiting for us."

"What does she want from you?" Amelia asked.

"I don't know." He truthfully shook his head. "But I can tell that she wants me on her camp."

"Her camp?" Both the ladies frowned at his words.

"There exist certain Divine Races, and she belongs to one of them. A very unique Divine Race. Even if she did not possess the Powers of the Original Nyx, who was her Biological Mother, she would still have been strong enough to be counted amongst the Strongest Gods, all thanks to how Powerful her Bloodline is. And can you guess who her father was?" He lightly smiled.

"Erebus?" Venessa subconsciously replied.

"Yes." He nodded to her words. "And Erebus and Nyx were biological brother and sister."

"Does she want you as her husband?" His wife curiously asked, and Keith could not help but chuckle at her words.

"I highly doubt that." He shook his head. "She's someone who honours her Bloodline and the powers it bestows her. She would never mingle with the lesser beings in that sense to bring shame to her Bloodline."

"So, she just wants you as her subordinate?" Venessa lightly asked.

"I am inclined to think that, but my instincts tell me that it's not the case. She has so many Powerful Gods as her subordinates. She rules not just over what we call the Greek Pantheon, but several other Pantheons as well. And yet, she had never offered anyone to have an equal share in her Noxville Empire. In fact, no one can claim that they have a share in her Noxville Empire." He frowned as he said those words.

"Rules over the Pantheons?" His mother curiously raised her brow.

"Yes." He nodded to her. "The Original Erebus, Nyx, Aether, Hamera, and Tartarus founded the Fourth Order, whom we call the Greek Pantheon. And all the Gods that later became a part of it were bestowed their Divinities through the Five of them. These Five are the Immemorial Gods of the Chaos Greek Pantheon, and then there are the Ancients and the Olympians who followed after them."

"They were all siblings?" Amelia curiously asked.

"No. Aether and Hamera were Twins from another Divine Race, and Tartarus belonged to a different Divine Race." Keith informed them.

"And what Divine Races are you talking about exactly?" His mother lightly smiled at him and asked, prompting him to chuckle at her words.

"I will keep that as a surprise for you." He said and then sat up to look again at the pendant in his hand.

"What's so special about it?" She asked, and Amelia too curiously looked at him.

"What's special about this?" He raised the pendant and looked at the black diamond on its crest. "This is something that was not meant to be in this world. It is a very special Magical Artifact." He informed them.

Even in the novel he read, Rebecca only found this pendant after she entered the Immortal Realms. And it was not Nyx who was meant to give it to her.

"What does it do?" Amelia curiously asked.

"Only its Master can tell you that." Keith smiled.

"And why did she give it to Rebecca?" Venessa asked as she stared at the pendant.

"Because it belongs to her, and her alone." He seriously said and smiled as he stared at the Gem. "And it is something I am grateful to Nyx for. She saved me a lot of future trouble to search for it."

"But you do know what this is?" She needed some answers and asked.

"I do." He nodded to her. "And I also know what it does. But I can not divulge that information." He told them. "You know what are the Magical Artifacts and Weapons of Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus in the mythologies?"

"The Helm, the Trident, and the Master Bolt." Amelia immediately replied.

"Yes." He nodded. "And this Necklace is the same, and it belongs to a very special Goddess." He smiled as he saw the surprise on their faces.

He knew that they did not know exactly know what Goddess he was talking about, but that was not the question on their minds. They were just too shocked to learn that Rebecca was an inheritor of a Goddess too.

"Where's she?" He asked as he got up on his feet and stretched his arms.

"With Kiara and Minami. They are helping her unpack her gifts in her room." Venessa informed him.

Keith nodded to her words and then kissed their cheeks before leaving the room.

"Keith."

"Yes, Mother?" He stopped and turned around to look at her.

"Don't make any plans for Valentine's Day. You will accompany me to Eden to finalise the registration of our Spacecraft Manufacturing and Travel Company." She told him.

"Alright." He nodded to her with a smile and exited the room.

Of course, he saw through her and knew that she wanted to spend Valentine's Day with him. And he was more than willing to spend it with her.

As soon as he entered Rebecca's room, he was stunned at all the mess that they had created. There were small hills of wrapping papers and boxes that were thrown recklessly, and then ornaments, jewellery, paintings, artworks, and decoration pieces were everywhere on the tables, the bed, the floor, and the couches.

The three girls were currently seated on the bed, busy checking out some Jewellery.

"Keith!" Kiara happily waved her hand. "Come here!"

He just stayed in his place and kept looking at them.

When the three girls finally looked back at him, and then followed his eyes across the room, they sheepishly smiled.

Minami immediately stood up and apologetically bowed to him, ready to clear things up, but he raised his hand and stopped her.

"If you are done opening all the gifts, get up and clean this room." He seriously said, and both the girls looked at him in surprise. "You will do it yourself." He told them before they could call on any maid.

"What's gotten into you?" The blonde pouted and folded her hands on her chest, but stood up to get to work.

Keith did not speak and then proceeded to help all of them clean the room.

It took over an hour to clear out all the wrappers, and the boxes, and to organise the gifts before storing them inside Rebecca's dressing room.

Of course, the girls took their time and showed all the things they found interesting, and when they were done, the blonde feigned tiredness and sprawled on the bed.

"Why are you such a clean freak?!" She complained.

"I did not know that it was a bad thing." He retorted and then gently patted Minami's head. <Go, get some rest.> He told her, and his cute little Maid respectfully bowed to him before leaving with the presents Rebecca had given to her.

He did not bother Kiara and Rebecca as they sat together and kept chatting about things, but as soon as the clock hit 3 am, he stood up from the couch and approached them.

"Time to go to bed, Kiara." He planted a kiss on her cheek, and the girl cutely pouted.

"But I want to stay and chat with Rebecca."

"So do I, and mine is a little more private." He grinned at her.

"Oh!!" She mischievously smiled at the two of them and then winked at Rebecca before running out of the room. "Have fun!" She pulled a tongue at him before closing the door behind her.

As soon as the door closed, Keith glanced at it, using magic to lock it, and the blonde girl brightly smiled at his action.

"What's the intention?" She playfully asked.

"You are my intention." He climbed onto the bed and then lay next to her, resting his back against the headrest.

Keith pulled her up and then helped her sit in his lap, straddling him.

"Why are you so heavy?" He frowned, and then playfully smiled when she dangerously narrowed her eyes at him.

Keith gently stroked her prominent cheekbone with his thumb and kept looking into her gorgeous ocean-blue eyes.

He loved watching her cheeks colour up in a blush, and then sat up, approaching her lips.

Her heart skipped a beat when she felt his soft lips land on top of hers. And then she closed her eyes, losing herself to the feel of it.

Keith knew that it was her first kiss, so he was not too forceful and gently sipped onto her lips, teaching her how it was done. And she was a really fast learner.

She tasted so different from others. Each of his women tasted different, and her flavour was quite intoxicating.

He smiled when he sensed her body starting to warm up, and then she become a little conscious of the changes that were happening. Her cheeks bloomed in full blown blush, but she did not stop kissing him back.

When they both finally separated, they rested their foreheads against each other and stared into each other's eyes.

"You are beautiful!" He honestly said and smiled.

"I know." She playfully replied and tried to reach for his lips again, but he leaned back. She tried again, and he leaned back again, promoting her to dangerously look at him. "Kiss me!" She demanded.

Keith chuckled at her forcefulness but complied and kissed her again. This time, he made out with her freely and then teased her tongue with his.

He sneaked his hand under her pyjamas, and her body trembled when he started caressing her soft waist.

"Happy Birthday!" She smiled and told him, and Keith nudged his nose with hers.

"Thank you!" He chuckled and then kissed her on the forehead. "But I guess my birthday present would have to wait?" He knowingly smiled as he sensed that she was on her period.

Rebecca understood what he was talking about, and then lowered her head before resting it on his shoulder, huggingly him tightly.

"Can you hold me to sleep tonight?" She hopefully asked.

"Of course." He immediately nodded to her. And then picked out the pendant from his pocket and placed it on her neck. "Suits you." He smiled as he looked at her, and she raised her head and looked back at him for an answer.

"What's special about it?" She asked.

"You will know when I help you start Cultivating." He promised her.

"When?" She hopefully asked.

"After I receive my birthday gift." He grinned at her and she playfully smacked a fist on his chest before pulling him to lie down with her.

She snuggled against him as she would snuggle against her Teddy bears, and Keith was surprised at how quickly she fell asleep.

However, it was late, and he had a long day too. Only a few minutes later, he joined her in the dreamland, enjoying the softness and warmth of her body.
