Chapter 45 Auston's Extra Story 【End】

As long as I can remember, people have been calling me Second Highness.

They told me my name was Auston.

It is said that because my mother planned to exile my half-brother, in order to avoid being traced by my father and wiped out all the families on her head, I was taken to a wealthy family in the town to be raised when I was born.

That wealthy family had no children and raised me as their own child.

They told me I wasn't their own.

It took me a few years to believe that they were my adoptive parents.

But even when I think about it later, I still regard them as my biological parents.

Although it was a last resort, I cannot deny that in them, I felt a family affection that I have never had since then.

When I was 12 years old, a group of men wearing armor broke into my house.

"Your Highness Auston, we are here to take you back to the palace by the order of the king."

My biological father knew of my existence and immediately mobilized me to return to him.

And my adoptive parents, because they committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, were all ransacked and beheaded.

The fire engulfed the whole house.

At that time, the maid sister who had been taking care of me suddenly looked at me.

There was an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.

Looking back many years later, I still don't understand.

Complain, resent, hate...

But even now I don't understand why they look at me like that.

If my mother had left me in the palace, wouldn't there be such a result?

I do not know.

Back in the palace, I lived in the bedroom where my mother used to live.

The guards around me told me that my mother was dead.

She did too many bad things, and even colluded with ministers to rebel.

Burned alive by the fire.

During that period of time, every time I closed my eyes, I could see in my mind that she was tied to a wooden frame, and the fire burned her body from bottom to top.

Even the beating sparks were clearly seen by me.

There is intrigue everywhere in the palace, and I don't like it very much.

Later, I slowly learned to restrain my emotions and forbear not to provoke those people.

When I was 15 years old, I secretly escaped from the palace.

Being restrained all the time, listening to the maids in the palace whispering about His Highness often doing this, I also tried to sneak out.

There are no guards watching you all day, and there are no maids sent by other courtiers, so I don't need to put on a show, and I feel a burst of relief.

I went back to the palace quietly, and was questioned by my father where I had been. I lied that I found a grass in the garden of the palace and slept for a day.

At that time, my father was staring at me, and I let go of the anxiety in my heart and just looked at him like that.

"Don't be so willful next time." Father looked away.

This statement confuses me a bit.

I don't know whether my father allowed me to escape from the palace or warned me.

Time passed day by day, and two years passed.

The wayward boy back then is gone.

I was 17 years old that year.

It was also in this year that I met my half-brother—that is, His Highness as the maids said.

He's a good brother, but I detect a bit of hostility in the way he looks at me.

I am not particularly clear about what happened back then, but I know a thing or two.

I don't understand.

I don't understand why this brother who has never met will be hostile to me.

He looked polite and like a humble gentleman.

Wenrunruyu is the perfect description for him.

He looked at me again.

I was also wearing a mask at the time and I couldn't see through him, but I also knew that the mask he wore was deeper than mine, even bottomless.

Later, I designed and controlled some ministers, and deployed tactics to besiege him.

He was badly wounded, but no one saw him.

I don't know where he went.

Just then, I got the news.

The token of the princess of the neighboring country is in the earl's castle on the edge of the town.

On the night of the dance, my brother didn't come, and I found an excuse to sneak out.

In the earl's castle, when I passed the backyard, I accidentally saw a black-haired girl beating a middle-aged woman with a kitchen knife.

She didn't notice me, she was just cutting people.

There was also a blond girl lying fainted on the nearby grave.

I suddenly burst into laughter, this girl is very interesting.

But I didn't continue to read, and my heart guided me to find the token of the princess of the neighboring country.

I found the so-called token in a room.

It's a purple gemstone.

After finding the gem, I went back the same way, but the brunette was nowhere to be seen.

The blond girl lying on the grave also disappeared.

On the second night, I summoned all the ministers to surround my brother who had recovered from his injury at some point.

Just when I was showing off that I got the token, she appeared.

The dark-haired girl hugged my brother impatiently.

I was the first to exit and asked her identity.

She exuded an arrogance all over her body.

Very flamboyant.

"Your ancestor."

I thought about something, put on a deeper mask and asked her.

She was stunned for a while, and suddenly said, "I like your eyes so much, can you take her home with me?"

I let her answer the question I just asked.

She didn't answer, just said, "Your eyes are beautiful, I want to take them home with me."

I didn't want to hurt her, so I could only change back to an indifferent expression and drive her away in a cold voice.

After some words, I returned the purple gem to her.

I found out later that she was the princess of a neighboring country who was transferred back then.

But after that, I couldn't find any news about her.

I was a little panicked.

But I quickly got under control and started my own plan.

In the end, my elder brother was surrounded by the guards I trained and dragged away with my mutilated body.

I knew he wouldn't live long, so I let him go.

I contacted the neighboring countries and personally destroyed my kingdom, but the residents of the two countries were not affected by the war.

The two countries merged.

The passing of a kingdom is the beginning of a new kingdom.

I would like to find the stars and the sea for you, but when I look back, I find that you are no longer there.

— Auston.

　Auston is a relatively pessimistic character. I won’t write extras for non-essential characters in the future, that’s all.
