Chapter 137
Although Aarons himself did not intend to compromise with the great noble forces, he still had a hurdle in his heart.
- If Claire knew that he was not the Aarons she knew in the past, would she still fight against the rules of the nobles for her?
"Teacher Jiangyue said before that she had arranged a flying car to take us back, and it should be here in a while."
However, after leaving the mansion, Her Royal Highness remained silent. Even if Aarons took the initiative to talk to her, he would only receive an absent-minded answer.
... She might have been touched by the other party's words.
The nobles of the empire do abide by certain rules of the game. Although they are not fair, they at least maintain the normal operation of the country.
And the emperor's strategy of marrying the princess to the descendants of the new nobles and letting the honorary nobles fight for the territory is also likely to shake the current order.
If the nobles start fighting for power again, then the current balance may be broken - Her Royal Highness can certainly understand this and know what those people want.
So what choice will she make?
"Senior... no, Aarons Moti, I want to ask you a few questions."
When the two walked out of the gate of Marvell, Claire immediately took off her camouflage robe and returned to the black dress she was wearing.
However, before Aarons could think of what to say next, she suddenly took a few steps forward and pulled the distance between the two.
After turning to face Aarons, the tone of the princess's speech suddenly became cold.
"The nobles pursue powerful bloodlines, and the strong people born from them will also become the cornerstone of order. So I want to ask you, what's wrong with the rules that person said?"
"...Her Highness actually asked such a question."
Aarons knew that this was not a question - if Her Highness really agreed with that person's statement, then she would not ask what he thought.
And for this question, he already had the answer in his heart.
"He is not wrong. The rules of the nobles have a meaning. This country does need more strong people to maintain order, and the nobles also hope to have strong descendants to inherit the family business."
--However, just as Aarons directly refuted the other party's reason before, there is actually a key flaw in this righteous argument.
"But is Her Royal Highness really necessary to maintain the rules? Will this so-called rule and order collapse without the participation of Her Royal Highness?"
"... Of course, I have the obligation to safeguard the interests of the empire."
"Doesn't Her Royal Highness have the right to choose? Even if she willfully abandons this duty, the country will not decline because of her choice, right?"
Although it is useful, it is not necessary-if I have to put it more popularly, this planet will still turn without anyone.
The rules of the nobles do have a righteous name, but whether the princess participates or not, it will not have any impact on them.
They are just greedily coveting the princess's talent, wanting to use her bloodline to leave more powerful descendants for themselves, so that their family can continue to control power and wealth.
"And Her Royal Highness once said that she wanted me to see her willfulness. I remember it clearly."
"...Heh."
The cold and alienated feeling suddenly broke with a chuckle, and the masked Claire walked lightly in front of Aarons, even closer than before.
"Did you say before that you are no longer the senior I knew in the past?"
"Ah...that's right."
Although he didn't care about other people's thoughts, Aarons was still a little nervous when it came to this key issue.
Claire liked the past Aarons Moti, and he was just an actor wearing that role - even if the identity of this role was real, it was still a deception after all.
- And when the lie was finally exposed, how much damage would he cause to that relationship?
"Then, please tell me... can I like you now?"
"... What?"
"My senior in the past also tolerated my willfulness like this. Although you are different now, you did the same thing."
The same thing... Did I make the same choice as the disappeared young master without realizing it?
"So answer me, can I give up my childhood dreams now and like someone who is different from then?"
——How should I answer this question?
No? Can a person only fall in love with the first person he meets in his life?
No, everyOf course, everyone has the right to re-choose. When the aspirations of youth gradually fade with the passage of time, it means that someone new should take their place.
Even if he has no emotional experience, Aarons knows this simple truth.
"Shouldn't we ask the willful princess herself about this matter?"
"Then will the person that the princess took the initiative to choose this time make her regret it in the future?"
"After all, that person is too weak, so we can only do our best."
After understanding Claire's thoughts, Aarons's entanglement and anxiety gradually melted away.
Even if he is not Aarons Moti himself now, it doesn't matter, because Claire finally chose him now - another person whose soul comes from another world and who only looks and has a similar name.
So, there is no need for him to be afraid of anything anymore.
"Then my fiancé, please listen carefully - since you have accepted my power, tolerated my willfulness, and recognized my feelings. Then, I will also tell you the truth that I have been hiding."
"If so, then I will also tell you my secret."
At this point, I no longer have the right to escape.
No matter what will happen next, I will never regret it - although Aarons is not a great man, he has never regretted his choice.
"Mr. Marquis! Princess! I am here to pick you up and return to Moti City!"
However, it is a pity that the flying car that arrived at the scheduled time landed beside the two of them at an inopportune time, breaking the atmosphere that had begun to change.
"In this case, let's go back today. After you go and call everyone, we will exchange each other's secrets."
Watching Claire jump into the car with light steps, Aarons seemed to have finally let go of a worry, and he breathed a sigh of relief -
"I really... lost completely."
