Chapter 1:
Inside a dark and damp cave.
White candles emitted a dim light, illuminating a dozen figures in black robes. They were twisting and wriggling on the walls ...
"Mother Nature, Queen of the Forest, Origin of Life!
"I offer you a sacrifice with fanatical devotion. I offer you the blood of my enemies, the flesh of my prey, and the bones of my ancestors!
"Please bestow upon me a bountiful harvest, please bestow upon me youth, please bestow upon me strength ..."
...
The figure in the lead prayed loudly. He used the silver dagger in his hand to cut off a piece of juicy deer meat and offered it to the stone altar.
On the altar, there were large patches of mottled blood, organs, intestines, and a few pieces of white bones.
Drops of dark red blood flowed down the cracks of the stone altar.
Bloody, terrifying, mysterious ...
Everything was as if the believers of some evil god were holding a sacrificial ceremony.
Aaron Sotos had a devout expression. He went with the flow, but his heart was unperturbed. He even felt like laughing.
'After transmigrating sixteen years, I'm certain that there are no supernatural powers in this area. This includes the Sotos family's primitive worship — Green Banyan Tree Grandmother.
'Of course, in this barbaric era where beliefs are deeply rooted, it would be foolish to reveal that I'm a non-believer. Which religious reformation in history did not result in death? It's the same even if it's from another world!The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
'Moreover, the head priest of the Sotos family is the father of this body of mine. He's an old-fashioned noble, and I'm only the second son. Going against him and saying that the gods are just illusions ... That's just asking for death.
'Also, I have to admit that religion is still very useful in numbing the people and consolidating feudal rule.'
Therefore, even if it was just an act, Aaron Sotos had to follow the people around him and play the role of the feudal lord's second son well.
He had a head of black, slightly curly hair. His light purple eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom and mystery. The lips under his high nose bridge often carried a hint of a smile. His tall and slender figure made it easy for people to have a good impression of him at first sight.
Aaron did not seem to notice. After all, he had no feelings for this half-brother of his, Colin, and waited quietly until the end.
He could feel Colin's faint hostility toward him, but it was not too much, probably because he did not pose much of a threat.
After all, as a transmigrator, acting spoiled and cute when he was young must have been very awkward, and any relationship needed investment and nurturing.
After raising someone else's son for more than ten years, he might be closer than his own son who had never been raised.
When he was young, Aaron found it difficult to get close to a stranger.
Over time, Theodore's indifference and estrangement towards Aaron became a matter of course.
However, Aaron did not regret it.
A threatening heir was even more stimulating for Colin. His third brother who had broken his leg while riding a horse was a good example.
Yes, this third brother was born from Theodore's third wife. One of his first two wives died in childbirth, while the other one died of illness. This third wife, Sonia, not only gave birth to a son, but she also gave birth to a daughter.
Aaron skillfully mounted his horse and followed the group back to the castle.
A group of people was already waiting at the entrance of the castle.
In the lead was Theodore's wife, Sonia, and sister, Jenny. Apart from them, there was also the castle's butler and scholar.
At this moment, the scholar was holding a letter in his hand.
Theodore took it and hurriedly browsed through it. His expression turned ugly as he said in a deep voice, "The Davis family of Upper Green Forest wants to annul the sacred marriage contract signed under the banyan tree. This is a declaration of war!"
Aaron immediately saw that Colin's originally proud face seemed to have been slashed by a knife.
Yes, after all, it's Colin who is engaged to the Davis family ... It's actually not me, a transmigrator, who has the engagement annulled. This doesn't make sense! Although ... I don't have a fiancée ...
He secretly complained in his heart and looked at Colin with some sympathy.
Even for some transmigrators who had lived two lives, having an engagement annulled was a great humiliation, let alone an ordinary youth.
