Chapter 138
Chapter 138
Since they already knew that the three dukes would contact Claire again, the two agreed to meet again after that.
Aarons had actually been mentally prepared for the secret Claire was going to tell.
——The reason why she had been covering her face was probably not to avoid other people's eyes.
...
"I'm back... What's going on?"
At nightfall, Aarons finally returned home. But as soon as he entered the yard, he immediately saw an unexpected scene.
"Master, we have a little problem here."
——The third prince Loran, who appeared in his home for some reason, was standing in the small square in the front yard at this time, seemingly confronting Els.
And next to the boy in his own family, the girl Meili seemed to be anxiously trying to stop the conflict between the two.
"Your Highness the Third Prince? Why is he here?"
Because the four women in the family were present at this time, Aarons was not too worried about the safety issue.
But he immediately asked about the situation-because he felt that this matter might only be solved by himself.
"In the afternoon, the prince deliberately disguised himself and came to you secretly, but you and the princess happened to go to Marvell. Because he said he wanted to visit the Marquis's Mansion, I let him move freely."
Xia Ye described the cause of the incident expressionlessly, and then the person explaining it was replaced by Jiang Yue, who was very familiar with the prince.
"When the prince went to visit the classroom, he happened to catch up with the magic class - you also know that although the prince is only sixteen years old this year, he is already a formal magician."
"I understand, he showed off his strength to those little ghosts, right!"
"If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is that the prince has been staying in the palace for almost all these years and has never seen children of the same age...especially girls."
I see - Aarons guessed what happened after hearing this.
The only children in his family who are close to the prince's age are Els and Meili.
And the prince, who has almost no chance to communicate with his peers, will naturally be a little overexcited in front of girls.
What happened next is easy to understand.
"Because little Merry also has a good talent for magic, His Highness began to share his experience with her. But His Highness is a young man after all, and he started to speak without thinking after being too excited."
"... Didn't he say that he wanted to marry Merry home?"
"If he didn't say that, it wouldn't be like that now."
It is true that young people who are not yet adults may do such stupid things, and Aarons doesn't think it's strange.
If it was before, he might have watched the show with gloating on the side. But after experiencing what happened today, he found that he couldn't laugh anymore.
- This is no longer an ordinary competition between two boys, but a prince trying to use his identity to bully two ordinary peers.
"Okay... Luo Lan, stop it now!"
"Who dares to be so rude to this prince! Don't you know... sister, brother-in-law?"
"... What are you doing?"
Seeing Aarons walking towards him with a cold face, the young prince who was originally a little arrogant suddenly shrank back.
"I, I didn't do anything... nothing..."
This prince is obviously a formal magician, and he shouldn't be so afraid of Aarons who can't even release his fighting spirit - but when he saw the angry Aarons, he immediately lost his momentum and couldn't even say a word of defense.
"Luolan, answer me, do you still remember that you are a prince of the empire?"
"Remember, remember..."
"Then your highness, please tell me, what did you do just now."
Arens didn't seem to be angry, but his voice was frighteningly cold. Luo Lan was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground.
"I, I just think Miss Meili is very cute, and I want to deepen my relationship with her..."
"Meili, did you explicitly say no to him?"
"Yes... Master, I said I already... have someone I like."
After hearing the girl's answer, Aarons suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the prince's collar.
"Did you hear that, brat! Answer me now! What the hell are you doing!"
"I, I just... I just think I have better conditions! Following me is better than that guy! I..."
"Shut up!"
After Aarons yelled at Luo Lan face to face, the prince, who had just mustered up a little courage, dared not speak again.
"... Luo Lan, listen carefully, I'm going to...I am talking to you as your future brother-in-law."
After letting go of the hand that was grabbing the other person's collar, Aarons's emotions quickly calmed down.
"You think you are better than that kid and stronger than him, so the girl should choose you, right?"
"Yes... that's it."
"Then have you ever thought that if someone better than you appears one day, should she decisively abandon you and throw herself into the arms of that person? "
If this is a cruel world where the strong prey on the weak, then this principle may be correct.
But this is not such a world - ordinary people here have the right to choose and the qualifications to be chosen. And the so-called strong are not absolutely superior to the weak.
The magic source stone that can interfere with magic and fighting spirit is enough to be a weapon for the weak to fight back - Aarons has read in history books before that there were many immoral strong people in the past, and they eventually died at the hands of the weak who were bullied and oppressed by them.
And it is precisely because humans in the past have made many mistakes in this matter that the current world abides by the basic rule of mutual benefit and win-win between the strong and the weak.
"Of course you can use your resources and power to ask others to obey, but if you want to do so, you must be prepared to be plundered by a stronger person one day in the future."
"I..."
"Then do you have this awareness? Do you have the awareness to fight with others until the end of your life and be crushed under the feet of others in the end? "
It is precisely because no "human" can become an absolutely strong person who is immortal, so if the rule of the jungle is upheld, it will eventually backfire on oneself.
This was the world of Aarons' previous life, and this alien world is actually the same.
"... I was wrong."
"If you want to apologize, don't say it to me."
Looking at the scene where Roland, who had matured a little because of his admonition, took the initiative to bow and apologize to Els and Mary, Aarons seemed to have found his direction.
——Those great nobles wanted to plunder him with such rules, so he had to resist.
He wanted to defeat those people in his own way, so that they would know that even incompetent weaklings could have the power to resist them.
"From this point of view, the Marquis is really good at educating children."
"It's just that your Highness has a strong understanding ability. I didn't do anything. "
The young prince Roland was moved by such simple words because he also had the qualities to be a king.
But Aarons had never thought about it - how should he be evaluated for being able to shock the king's weapon as a weak person?
Perhaps the people gathered around him are the answer to this question.
