"Even in this palace, I have heard a lot about your deeds." Aldrich III paused, "Not very good deeds..."

"Rumors, those are just rumors that others have blackmailed me! Your Majesty, don't believe me!" Mu En glared angrily.

Forget about the previous self, but the current self has nothing to do with those so-called bad deeds.

"But not long ago, someone complained to me, saying that you used your status as the son of a duke to do whatever you want in the academy, and did some ridiculous things that are indecent and incompatible with noble status... such as streaking or something."

"puff……"

Mu En almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell, why did such a trivial matter reach the ears of His Majesty who is far away in the palace!

Your Majesty, are you so bored?

"There are still some things like you oppressing other noble children at will, corrupting your private life, and stepping on more than a dozen boats. I won't give examples one by one. In short, they are all things that my ears are tired of hearing."

Aldrich III said seemingly casually:

"But not long ago, I heard different news. It said that you changed your past in the academy, studied hard, and your behavior began to conform to that of a real duke's son. It's like a different person."

"...Being in the family... Parents look up to you, you have to try hard, don't you?" Mu En smiled.

"haha, really?"

Aldridge III was noncommittal and continued:

"A person can have such a sudden change, I am naturally curious, so I thought of calling you in, and wanted to see with my own eyes whether the rumors are true or not."

"...Did Your Majesty see anything?"

"..."

Aldrich III turned his head and smiled faintly,

"you guess."

puff……

Your Majesty, do you want to be so naughty!

Mu En was caught in her chest by Aldrich III's sudden naughtiness, unable to move up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

But a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in his heart.

Your Majesty... is this trying to test me?

Or, to test the Campbells?

"Moon Campbell, let me ask you one last question."

Aldrich III no longer looked down at the city below him, but looked up at the sunset.

"What do you want in the future?"

"future?"

"Yes."

Aldrich said:

"Now you are the son of the duke and the fiancé of the princess. You have a noble status, endless money, and power at your fingertips...

It is conceivable how bright the future will be for you.

And when you step into that bright future and have things that ordinary people can't get if they spend their whole lives, what do you want at that time? "

"I……"

Mu En was stunned.

What you want in the future is really the hardest question in the world to answer.

Because of the future self, no one can tell.

But for Mu En, the answer to this question has long been settled.

Therefore, under this gentle sunset, Mu En scratched her cheek, with a touch of shyness like a child announcing her ideals to her parents, and said softly:

"I want to be happy... alive."

That's right.

live happily.

This is the ultimate goal that he has experienced so much, faced so much, and brushed shoulders with death so many times after he traveled to this world, and still has not changed in the slightest.

He is the yellow-haired villain in the story.

He was watched by evil gods and hated by fate.

But he still wants to live.

And happy.

So Easy.

"is it?"

But Aldrich III suddenly turned his head and looked at him with pity:

"For you, this is really the hardest thing in the world to get."

[WEB] 29. New appointment

"The hardest thing?"

Hearing Aldrich III's words, Mu En couldn't help being in a daze.

It is indeed difficult.

Because looking back on this journey, all he faced were the most terrifying things in this world.

Corrupt Eros.

Lord of Blight.

Silent Moon.

The evil gods, whom others might not be involved in for the rest of their lives, huddled towards him like a crowd.

And even now that the curtain is about to rest, he can only say that he has temporarily gained a little leisure time, and no one can tell what the future will hold.

"But...you can only move forward, right?" Mu En said with a smile.

"..."

Aldridge III took a deep look at Mu En, fell silent for a moment, and said suddenly:

"Then go away."

"Eh?"

"I said you can go away."

Aldrich said blankly:

"I've finished talking, do you still want to stay here for dinner? Remind you brat, as a father, although he is very incompetent, but I don't know how many little girls will be fascinated by your piece of scum The male face is annoying!"

"..."

The corner of Mu En's mouth twitched fiercely.

When I came in just now, I called him the kid from the Campbell family. Now that I'm done testing, I call him the brat. Who is more like a scumbag? Hey!

"Then I will take my leave, Your Majesty."

Mu En respectfully stroked her chest and bowed, then turned and left.

It was only at the moment when she walked out of this room that Mu En seemed to hear the emperor's faint muttering.

"Moon Campbell, it's not that easy to become my daughter's husband."

"..."

……

After Mu En left.

Aldrich III still stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the sunset, which completely sank into the horizon.

The world gradually fell into endless night, and there were stars twinkling in the sky, and the majestic silence drowned out this man who stood still like a statue.

"Come and catch me."

"Haha, I can't catch it, I can't catch it..."

The sudden noise came along with the sound of the wind, interrupting Aldrich's contemplation. He knew that it was his eldest son who had a bad mind since he was a child, and started playing around with his maid again.

Carefree.

Out of place.

"How long is it until Celesia's birthday?"

In the room where he seemed to be the only one, Aldrich suddenly asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, there are still eight months and thirteen days." A hoarse voice came from the shadows.

"Eight months?"

Aldrich lowered his head and looked at the lights of thousands of houses gradually lighting up in the city, his deep eyes finally glowed with an incomprehensible light.

"It's been a little too long."

He let out a long sigh, retracted his hands into his sleeves, and covered those cracks on his wrists that Mu En, who was close in front of him just now, hadn't noticed, which was exactly the same as the fence he crushed... cracks.

……

……

"Ha... As expected of His Majesty, the pressure is really great."

After walking along the corridor and getting out of the sight of the two guard knights, Mu En finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Obviously just saying a few words, but it was much more tiring than a big battle.

This made Mu En couldn't help sighing, in terms of the ability to make people's feet weak, your father and daughter are really equally outstanding.

Thinking about it, Mu En suddenly staggered a little, his face turned pale, and the sense of emptiness in his body came out one after another.

Only then did he realize that during this whole day, he hadn't eaten anything except An's Shiquan Dabu Soup.

Well, maybe he ate a little chocolate last night, but that was nothing compared to what he had consumed during this time.

hungry.

It's a pity that there is no rich woman who didn't give him a meal.

"In such a huge palace, it doesn't even care about dinner. It's really stingy."

Mu En muttered something, then quickened her pace, wanting to go out of the palace to look for food.

But at this moment, he heard someone calling him.

"Master Campbell."

Turning his head subconsciously, he saw the middle-aged man who came out of His Majesty's room just now, standing at the corner of the corridor, as if he was waiting for him.

"You are……"

Familiarity came again, but Mu En couldn't remember it.

"Master Campbell is such a gentleman that he forgets his affairs."

The man smiled, took off his top hat and saluted:

"The next Sean Jones is a little baron. He was once honored to be invited by the Duke of Campbell to attend your coming-of-age ceremony at the Duke's mansion. We met at that time."

"Oh, it's you!"

Mu En suddenly remembered.

He said why he looked so familiar. He had seen this baron when he was welcoming guests at the coming-of-age ceremony.
