The Omega Heir's Second Life
The last banquet
The invitation was black.
A color reserved only for the rulers of the Seven Great Families.
Cassian Valen stared at the envelope in silence before breaking the crimson wax seal.
Inside, only one sentence was written.
"Attendance at tonight's Council Banquet is mandatory."
His golden eyes darkened.
Something felt... wrong.
Leon Koax
The cars are ready.
Leon Koax
The leone family has already arrived.
Leon Koax
The Ashford Family left their estate an hour ago.
Leon Koax
The other family are on their way.
Leon Koax
Boss..... I don't like this.
Cassian Valen
Neither do I.
Cassian Valen
If the head of House Valen is absent....
Cassian Valen
They'll know I'm afraid.
Leon Koax
I'd rather they think you're afraid than dead.
Cassian closed the invitation and slipped it into his coat.
Cassian Valen
Prepare the convoy.
Thirty minutes later.....
The black limousine stopped outside the Valen Estate.
Before Cassian could step inside...
A tiny figure ran toward him.
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
PAPAAAA!!
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
I missed you! 🥺
The little boy wrapped his tiny arms around Cassian's waist.
For the first time that day...
Cassian smiled.
A genuine smile.
Cassian Valen
Have you been a good boy?
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Mhm!
Clara Whitmore
Young Master Elias refused to eat his vegetables... (Coughed awkwardly behind them)
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
That's a lie!
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
they attacked me first ...
Cassian Valen
Did they ?(chuckled softly)
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
yes!
Cassian Valen
Then we'll declare peace after dinner
Eli rested his head against Cassian's shoulder.
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Papa...
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Can daddy see us from heaven ?
how finger tightened around the little boy hand
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Then tell daddy ...
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
I'll become strong enough to protect you.
A lump formed in Cassian's throat.
He gently kissed Eli's forehead.
Cassian Valen
daddy would be very proud of you
A car horn echoed outside.
Leon stood at the entrance.
Cassian looked back one last time.
Eli stood in the doorway, hugging his stuffed wolf.
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Come home soon !
Cassian Valen
I promise (smiled)
He turned and walked toward the waiting limousine.
The Council of Seven
9:45 PM
The Grand Hall of the Council was brighter than daylight.
Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead.
Classical music echoed through the marble hall.
Seven families.
Seven leaders.
One banquet.
And countless lies.
guard
Welcome, Heads of the Seven Great Families.
guard
Tonight marks a new beginning.
Leon Koax
There are too many unfamiliar faces.
Leon Koax
Half of the security isn't ours.
Cassian slowly scanned the hall
The Leone Family...
The Rosenthal Family...
The Sinclair Family...
The Vesper Family...
Every head wore a perfect smile.
Too perfect.
Leon Koax
The Ashford seat is empty
Cassian's eyes lingered on the vacant chair.
A faint unease settled in his chest.
Crystal goblets were lifted into the air.
Cassian lifted his glass...
But didn't drink.
Something smelled wrong.
Not poison.
Fear.
The scent of dozens of Alphas trying to suppress their pheromones.
The massive doors slammed shut.
The gun shot echoed through the darkness
The banquet became a battlefield
The only thought in Cassian's mind wasn't survival.
It was the little boy waiting for him at home.
Cassian Valen
Everyone....
Cassian Valen
Betrayed us....
A burning pain exploded through his chest.
Warm blood soaked his shirt
His knees hit the marble floor
...
Make sure Cassian Valen dies
Cassian's vision blurred.
The chandeliers above faded into darkness.
The last thing he heard...
Was a familiar voice whispering beside him.
？？？
This is the only way to rewrite history
Three hundred years earlier
A sharp pain shot through Cassian's head
The scent of blood.... was gone
He smelled sandalwood incense, fresh flowers
Cassian Valen
Where.... Am I?
lily
You're finally awake!
He stared at the unfamiliar young woman standing beside an enormous canopy bed.
Cassian Valen
Who are you?
The maid looking startled
lily
Have you forgotten me?
Cassian Valen
This isn't possible... (thinking)
lily hurried to pour him a glass of water
lily
The physician said you would recover soon
lily
You only fainted during sword training.
Cassian Valen
Sword.... Training ?
Cassian heartbeat quickened
He looked around the room
Dark oak furniture.
Velvet curtains.
A crackling fireplace.
No electricity.
No phone.
No city skyline.
Only ancient stone walls beyond the window.
Cassian Valen
This can't be...💭
He stumbled toward the mirror.
The reflection staring back at him was...
his face looked no older than twenty two
Cassian Valen
What year is this?
lily
It's the 14th year of his majesty's reign
Cassian breathing stopped
Cassian Valen
Three hundred years ...💭
Loud knock echoed through the room.
guard
Young Master cassian
guard
The Head of House Valen requests your presence immediately.
Before Cassian could answer—
A tiny voice echoed from outside.
Cassian's heart nearly stopped.
Cassian Valen
That voice ...
Cassian Valen
Impossible ...
Cassian rushed to the door with trembling hands.
a small boy threw himself into his arms.
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
Papa!
Elias Ashford Valen ( Eli)
I found you ...
Tears welled in Cassian's eyes as he held his son tightly.
Had traveled through time with him.
