Chapter 146: Taboo
Suddenly, a rush of energy enveloped them, and before Regina could even react the world around her shifted. Her surroundings melted away, and she felt a strange, dizzying sensation as if reality itself was bending.
When the confusion cleared, she found herself standing in a completely different place.
Regina's eyes widened in shock as she took in the breathtaking sight before her. Tall and lush hills spread across the horizon and were filled with gorgeous flowers and tall, majestic trees. Rivers flowed peacefully as they glowed under the purple sky.
And in the distance, there stood a grand castle surrounded by several smaller castles, each looking like they have been carved from the very earth itself. The entire landscape felt alive with beauty and power.
"Where are we, Julian?" Regina asked. She glanced around taking in the magnificent sight before her, unable to find any words that could properly describe what she was witnessing.
Julian stood beside her. "This is my world, mother," he replied, his voice calm yet filled with an unmistakable pride. "This is the world your son has created. A world of my own design."
Regina looked at him completely stunned. The vastness of what he had accomplished, the beauty of it all, it felt like a dream, like something out of a fairy tale.
Julian's gaze shifted to Regina. "I am the god of this world," he declared. "This world has its own mana, its own life, its own beauty. Everything here is alive, just like the outside world. This is my empire, mother, and I want you to be beside me to control it together."
Regina stood still, her heart racing as the magnitude of his words sank in. Her eyes shifted from the magnificent landscape to Julian, and she saw him not just as her son anymore, but as something far greater—a being with the power to shape reality itself.
The thought of him ruling a world, of holding such immense power, left her breathless. The offer he extended to her was not one she could take lightly.
Regina stood frozen, her heart racing as she tried to process what Julian had just said. The weight of his words crashed over her and she felt a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and something deeper that she couldn't name.
"Julian," she said, her voice trembling, "this is... this is madness. How can you ask me something like that? You are my son."
Regina looked into Julian's eyes as she searched for any hint of hesitation or doubt. "Tell me, Julian," she asked, her voice softer now. "What is it that you truly want? What are your ambitions?"
Julian stepped closer to her. "I want to develop this world. I want to build an empire and I want to rule and share this world with the women I love."
Regina's heart fluttered with a strange mix of fear and desire at his words. His words were perfectly crafted and it did its job by pulling her deeper into the trap.
"And who are the women you love?" she asked.
Julian looked at her with unwavering intensity. "You, Mother. Grandmother, Eva, Eleanor... everyone who holds a place in my heart. All the women who have shared their lives with me. I want to build a future with all of them."
Regina's eyes widened in shock at Julian's words. The thought of her mother-in-law, Gregoria, and her daughters: Eva and Eleanor, being included in his plans for the future was more than overwhelming. She had never imagined that Julian's ambitions would stretch to them as well.
"Julian... you... want them too?" Regina asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. Her mind raced as she tried to process the absurdity of what he was suggesting.
Julian met her gaze filled with determination. "Yes, Mother. I want all of you by my side as we rule this world together."
Regina took a step back. She couldn't deny the pull of Julian's words, but the magnitude of what he was asking, what he was proposing, was too overwhelming.
