Reborn In Vengeance

Beautiful

~Sona’s POV~

(Still in a flashback)

I stayed lying on the ground, wondering how I had gotten there. Then something came back to my mind…

Hadn’t he seen me in my original serpent form?

I quickly looked over myself and realized that I was human.

Damn it—I almost died of a heart attack.

But how had I managed to turn into a human when I still had one million years before I was meant to come to the human world?

Then the last words my mother had said before she died came back to me.

“I have given you a blessing. You will turn into anything depending on where you are at that time.”

So this was my mother’s blessing.

I sighed deeply… and then remembered that there was a handsome human standing there, staring at me.

When did I even start considering humans as handsome? We all knew they were responsible for the fate that befell my mother.

“What is a beautiful girl like you doing here?” he asked with a smirk.

That made me look around and I froze.

How did I get here?

I was on top of a very tall building. These buildings were so different from those in the serpent world.

I looked down at myself. I was wearing a yellow dress and black heels.

How did I even get these?

All this would have made sense if I were already queen but I still had years before that.

Then I remembered my mother again. She had said that even in death, she would watch over me.

Maybe this was what she meant.

“Are you going to stay here for the rest of your life?” the man said sarcastically.

I was completely confused and didn’t know what to do.

I had no idea where the rest of the people I had been traveling with had gone. We were supposed to head to the dragon kingdom. If we didn’t arrive within 100 days, something terrible would happen to our kingdom.

And now… I was here.

Then I remembered the necklace that contained the Nagima. It was always around my neck—the only way I could communicate with my people so they could send green serpents to rescue me.

I touched my neck.

Nothing.

The necklace was gone.

Had it disappeared when I transformed into a human?

I felt completely lost.

“Oh my God, won’t you stand up? The guards will be coming to inspect this place, and if they find you here, you’re going straight to prison. I doubt it would be good for a beauty like you to end up there,” he said.

He was handsome… but too talkative.

After realizing I had no necklace and was in a place I didn’t recognize, I decided to go with the stranger, hoping I would figure things out soon—either continue my journey or return home and inform my father, the king, that the mission had failed.

“Okay… help me up,” I said, reaching out my hand.

He took it without hesitation and helped me up—but I nearly fell again. It was my first time in a human body.

Luckily, he caught me, and I fell right into his arms.

I had no idea humans smelled this good.

“I’m so sorry,” I said, quickly pulling away from his chest.

“So, beautiful girl… where do you live?” he asked.

Damn it—how was I supposed to talk to him without revealing that I was a serpent?

After staying silent for a few seconds, I came up with an idea.

“Something bad happened to me,” I began, hoping he would believe me.

“I was robbed after I got off a plane from France. The robbers kidn*pped me, and I don’t know how I ended up here. I don’t know anyone in this country. I had just come for a vacation.”

I was impressed with myself for coming up with such a story.

“I’m so sorry. This part of the country is full of criminals. But I can help you while you figure out how to return home,” he said.

He took me to his apartment, where he lived alone.

It was strange for someone like him not to have a girlfriend. He was so handsome—I was sure many girls chased after him. But during the time I stayed with him, no girl ever came over.

At one point, I even wondered if he was gay… but that thought disappeared when I started developing feelings for him.

I tried to suppress those feelings.

I remembered the pain my mother went through after losing her powers—it had all been because of a man.

But after living with him for about 40 days, I could no longer control myself.

In our kingdom, it was forbidden to fall in love with humans.

But I had already begun to lose hope of returning home as time passed.

Eventually… I gave in.

We started a relationship.

I fell deeply in love with Patel, and soon he introduced me to his parents.

But two days later…

I received a message from home.

It was a bittersweet moment.

Part of me was happy. I could finally return.

But another part of me wanted to stay.

I had to make a choice.

And I knew exactly what I was going to do.
