Chapter 664 A Selfless Mother

Oberon's eyes widened in horror. "No... please... I will do whatever it is to make up for all this. All I beg for is just one chance to prove myself."

Asher smirked, a glint of cruel amusement dancing in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with mockery, "Oh? A chance? Interesting. Maybe I can give you one."

Oberon's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope despite the unease gnawing at his chest. "T-Thank you, Your Majesty. Even if I am a half-cripple, I can still make myself useful."

Asher's laughter, brief and mocking, filled the room, "Haha, of course you can. So, this is what you're going to do for me. You are going to the Oseon Continent to find out where that foxy seductress lives."

Asher had always been trying to think of a way to find out where Kira lived since he basically knew nothing about her, especially her weakness.

He knew he had to find out something before it was too late to stop her before she caused any trouble.

And as if a devil heard his thoughts, Oberon dropped right before his feet.

Oberon's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. His voice trembled as he stammered, "O-Oseon Continent? That's a dead island. Anyone who steps foot there is done for. Even if she really lives there, I'm as good as dead if she finds out."

Asher scoffed, his expression cold and unyielding, "Of course she will find out. But she'll probably not kill you as long as you do as I say. Just pretend that you want to help her betray me, and they will take you in. It's no secret how much you want me dead."

Asher knew how much Kira thirsted for revenge, and since Oberon was a well-known figure in House Drake, she might keep him alive for a while instead of immediately killing him.

Oberon's hands trembled uncontrollably. He looked down, grappling with the gravity of the situation, "T-That's still... How am I even going to help her when she asks? I don't know anything."

Asher's gaze was condescending, his tone dripping with disdain, "That's up to you to figure out. Aren't you a decorated prince? It's time to start using that rusty brain of yours. Must be quite rusty after having everything handed to you on a silver platter." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Oberon's desperation grew, "I... Even if I manage all this, how am I supposed to convey the location of her place to you?"

Oberon glared at her, his face etched with a heavy pain, "You don't get to ask all these questions... not when you did as you liked and stayed beside him like a slave. You're even wearing that stupid choker which I told you to get rid of," he said, his gaze narrowing at the choker around her neck.

Rebecca's fingers flew to the choker, her heart pounding against her chest as she wondered if her son knew more than he should. She even forgot that this thing was always on her neck and wondered when she even stopped feeling humiliated about it.

But the worst part of her realization was the feeling of something missing whenever her so-called master's leash wasn't latched to her choker. Just touching it would make her body feel weird.

Yet thinking about all this before Oberon made her clench her fists, her voice shaking with nervousness and frustration, "You can't talk to me like that. Do you have any idea the sacrifices I've made for you and to clean up all the mess you made? I never stopped to think of myself; I was always thinking about you. Maybe that's where it all went wrong. I let you torture that bastard all those years because I wanted you to vent your anger because I felt helpless to do anything else. If only I had known things would end like this..." Her voice trailed off, a hint of pain and regret shimmering in her eyes.

Oberon's scoff was bitter, "So now you're regretting everything you did for me? I'm at fault here, huh? Just what did that fiend do to you to even make you feel regret like this. The mother I knew would never regret anything, let alone because of someone like him. I never realized it because you barely even came to my side all these months. But now that we are finally having some conversation, I can barely recognize my mother. Just what did he do to you? Did he break you? Do you really...consider him above you?"

Rebecca's eyes widened, "Of course not! Why would you spout such nonsense!"

But then her expression softened, her voice laced with sorrow, "I never said it's your fault, my dear. I only wanted to make you happy, and I still want you to have a better life and recover from this. I promise I'll help you with that. But you have to listen to me and stay away from him. Just tell me what he said."

Frustration lined Oberon's face as he grunted, "Enough. I never asked you to do anything for me, and yet you did as you pleased by groveling at his feet. You could have chosen anyone but... him of all people? You didn't even think about how I would feel!"

Rebecca's heart clenched, her chin quivering as she wondered if he knew. She wanted to ask but couldn't muster the courage.

Seeing the crushed look on his mother's face, Oberon's worst fears seemed to solidify. The images of that moving projection of that big-breasted woman moaning and getting fucked by that alien's one-eyed monster once again haunted his mind.

He swallowed his pain and spoke in a strained voice, "To answer your question, I'm the one who went to him, and now I'm going to do as I please. Don't interfere, or I will interfere in your matters. I'll even die trying to stab that fiend if you do."

Rebecca's eyes widened in horror as she mumbled, "Oberon... you..." But he had already turned and walked away, his determination evident in his resolute stride. She wanted to follow him but found herself rooted to the spot, unable to move. The cold, determined look in her son's eyes was something she had never seen before, and it struck her deeply.

He might really do as he said if she followed after him.

But she had a feeling that the despicable bastard was to blame. Oberon wouldn't have gone to him if not for him sending those vile things.

Feeling she had to make some things clear to him, she stormed off back into the castle.
