Chapter 140
"This, this is..."
The miserable scar that was enough to make one's pupils tremble extended from the top of the left eye to the right side of the lip.
It was as if it was torn apart alive by some evil thing, and then randomly sewn together, and finally healed in an ugly and terrifying appearance.
——That was not an ordinary wound at all.
"I'm sorry... your fiancée actually looks like this terrible..."
"..."
Aarons heart beat violently.
The blood was boiling, and the thoughts seemed to be burning, and there was no way to cool it down.
It was not because of the fear of seeing the ugly face, nor was it because of the sadness of being deceived - at this time, Aarons' heart was only filled with rage.
What mistake did she make... Why did the world treat her like this?
"...What happened?"
"Sorry, I'd better cover this face first..."
"No! Let me see clearly... Let me see what happened!"
The trembling voice due to anger came out from the gap between Aarons' teeth that were almost broken. And Claire's hands, which wanted to put the veil back on, froze there.
——Why is he so angry?
"...Marquis, let me explain."
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting more and more strange, the sage Jiangyue sighed deeply and took the initiative to break the stalemate.
"Ten years ago, on the day when His Highness graduated from the Imperial Capital Academy, he accidentally encountered an accident."
"...Accident?"
"That day, His Highness ignored the advice and ran to the unopened wild area privately, and encountered a powerful monster there... Although he barely saved his life in the end, the scar on his face could not be healed."
No.
Aarons knew that this statement was full of loopholes as soon as he heard it - how could an imperial princess run into the wild alone without protection and happen to encounter a monster?
Even if these were all coincidences, didn't the royal family have an ancient secret treasure that could heal scars?
"... You don't believe this official statement, do you?"
"Tell me what the truth is."
"Teacher Jiangyue, let me tell you... The person who asked me to go to the restricted area alone that day was my eldest brother."
Bang - because of anger, Aarons' fist hit the table directly.
... What is this?
The eldest son of an emperor who is above ten thousand people and is likely to inherit the throne in the future, actually wants to use such a despicable way to calculate his sister?
Is it because he is jealous of his sister's extraordinary talent?
"I didn't know any magic or fighting spirit at that time. I was just an ordinary child... and even though the monster was only level three, it was enough to kill me."
After showing a somewhat sad expression, Claire reached out and touched the ugly scar on her face with twisted blood vessels - as if the pain left at that time was still there, tears flashed in her dark yellow eyes.
"But several guards knights found that I ran into the restricted area alone before that, so they finally rushed to my side in time and saved me from being torn to pieces by the monster."
-But this story is not over yet.
"When my father learned that I was sent for emergency treatment, he took out the ancient healing scroll that was originally prepared for him without hesitation. He ordered his imperial physician to completely heal my injuries."
"... Why hasn't it been cured when there is such a thing?"
"Your Highness was in a deep coma at that time and had no idea what happened... So I'll continue to tell the story."
Although the narrator of the story changed to Jiang Yue again, Aarons' eyes never left Keliya's face.
"The imperial physician brought several assistants and used the power of the ancient scroll to heal all the injuries on your Highness' body... But the wound on your Highness' face that was bitten by the monster's fangs worsened due to the poison and curse of unknown origin."
"... Worsen?"
"This was the official statement issued by the royal family at the time... And I later went to investigate and found out the truth of the matter."
At this point, the sage showed an annoyed expression.
She reached out and took off her thick-framed glasses, and rubbed the red corners of her eyes with her fingers. Then, a trace of grief that could not be concealed appeared in her voice.
"One of the assistants of the imperial physician was bribed at the time - he used a special venom made by alchemy to secretly damage the wound on the prince's face for the second time."
"Could this also be--"
"And I finally found out who the culprit was... the one who bribed the assistant of the imperial physicianThe one who deliberately disfigured Her Royal Highness the Princess was actually——”
“It was my second brother.”
——This shocking answer was given by the third prince Luo Lan who was sitting on the side.
“Because my father loved my sister very much at that time, those two bastards plotted to murder my sister, making her completely lose the possibility of inheriting the throne.”
The empire did not originally allow women to inherit the throne.
No matter how much the emperor doted on his daughter, it was unlikely that he would really give the throne to her. However, in order to eliminate this tiny possibility, the two princes coincidentally used despicable means to murder their sister.
“After my sister was disfigured, my father immediately protected her and planned to let her spend the rest of her life in peace. But my two brothers began to report to my father again and again, suggesting that my sister be married to the son of a certain duke. ”
Even with such a result, the two princes still did not intend to let their sister go.
“Father tried every means to delay this matter, but the three dukes and several marquises later began to mention this matter. So father was finally forced to decide to marry the royal sister to Marquis Moti’s family.”
And Aarons knew the rest very well—before his family officially signed a marriage contract with the royal family, Marquis Moti and his youngest son were murdered by someone from an unknown force.
——All the causes and consequences were finally connected together at this time.
…
“Hehehe…hahahaha…hahahahaha——”
——Aarons laughed.
There was a red light like a raging fire in his eyes, and the slightly crazy and twisted smile also made others feel palpitations.
“…So this is how it all started. ”
The order of the empire, the rules of the nobility, the peaceful and stable future - everything is just a false illusion in the lies.
This country has actually been controlled by people full of evil thoughts.
"Since these so-called noble people have long been corrupted, can I live for my own desires?"
After covering his face, which had collapsed due to anger, with his hands, Aarons finally put aside the last bit of hesitation and spoke out the greedy desire deep in his heart -
"Xia Ye, the great devil who has survived to this day. Please tell me how to heal that scar - tell me what price I have to pay to realize this wish. "
"Have you finally decided to become a greedy person? That's great. "
After hearing his contractor finally cry out his soul, the evil Aries, who has never represented justice, also showed a greedy and happy smile -
"Just take everything you want into your hands, and then crush all those things you don't like. "
Because from the beginning, the people around Aarons were far from the so-called "goodness" and "order".
"——And we gathered around you for this reason. "
