Chapter 260 – Aaron Was Servile
“Request?”
I looked at Mary with a puzzled expression.
It was because I had no idea what she was asking me to do.
After looking into my eyes for a moment, Mary spoke her request her to me in a cautious voice.
“I know what my brother has done to the hero so far.”
“Therefore? You want to live?”
I looked at Mary with a puzzled expression and asked.
Aaron didn’t consider her to be her blood her in the slightest, but her position her with Mary was different from him.
“Why? Because he’s your brother?”
I asked Mary in a cold voice.
She said that she became emperor, so she didn’t have to be cool, but her opponent was none other than Aaron.
Moreover, knowing how Aaron had treated her in her previous life her against her circumstances, I could not help but disapprove of Mary’s decision her even more.
“It’s not like that.”
But Mary looked at me and shook her head.
Then she began to explain to me why she wanted to save Aaron’s life his.
So she was n’t just worried about Aaron’s life his.
Shortly after her ascension her to the throne, rumors flowed that getting rid of her her bloodline her would be a political burden on her.
“Well, why is it a burden? Rather, it’s more that he’s alive…”
“Because I want to take a different path from my father.”
It was only then that I could understand Mary’s true intentions of her.
So immediately after she killed Aaron, she was certain that her position would not be shaken.
Other than her, there was no one who inherited her imperial lineage her, and there were people like me and Camara by her side her.
Even Old Man Cablowjob, who had the most powerful power in the Empire right now, was on the side of supporting Mary.
But even so, Mary seemed unwilling to suppress her opponent with that power.
I thought that she was weak at the moment, but I also thought that her way would be more right in the current situation.
In any case, since Baal was dead, the only threat left on the continent was the demon king.
And catching the demon king was nothing compared to what he had done so far.
“Okay. If that’s your decision.”
“Then are you listening to my request?”
How did she hear my words? Mary smiled brightly at the moment and asked me that.
“Okay. It doesn’t kill.”
I answered Mary, and I saw her bright smile her harden awkwardly.
**
After talking with Mary, I headed straight to the basement of the imperial palace.
Because Aaron was right there.
“Looks good.”
I said that to Aaron, who was locked in an iron cage.
I could see that one side of his face was swollen, as if he had been hit by Ena for real.
Aaron, who found me belatedly, gnashed his teeth and rushed toward the barricade.
“You son of a bitch! This is all because of you!”
Aaron yelled at me with a very angry look on her face, as if she really believed it was all my fault.
I watched the guy’s desperate efforts for a while and then asked him.
“Is it because of me?”
“Yeah, if only you didn’t show up, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
I deliberately laughed at Aaron, who was glaring at me.
“If that’s the case, everyone would have been killed by the Demon King-kun in the end.”
“Don’t bullshit. The imperial army is strong. Even if it wasn’t you…”
“But what kind of guts did you dare to fight against such a strong army? Uh?”
Only then did Aaron realize that I was making fun of him and bang his head against the iron bars with a look of resentment.
If it was Aaron who had heard from Mary, he would have thought that the army was also his own.
“Only you… Without you everything…”
“Assholes don’t regret it until after they lose. Even if it’s Nebula, yes. If she had handled only that woman well, wouldn’t you have been caught in such a futile way?”
I said that while smirking at Aaron.
I had promised not to kill him, but he never said he wouldn’t bother.
“As expected, that bitch betrayed me!”
“Don’t be fooled, Aaron. If he really betrayed you, there’s no way your weak bastard’s neck would still be attached.”
At my words, Aaron didn’t say anything, but he gnashed his teeth.
He wouldn’t even know that I wasn’t wrong.
No, perhaps losing even to Ena was a shock to him.
Funny enough, he was quite confident in his own swordsmanship.
‘Even if the swordsman instructor flattered me, he shuddered too much.’
Instantly, I remembered the face of the goat-like swordsman instructor I had seen in my previous life.
He was a man eager to please Aaron somehow, such as deliberately telling Aaron’s opponent to lose on purpose.
Well, if it had been the way it was before, there would be no reason for a person the size of a crown prince to really use a sword, so he might not have taken it seriously.
“… Why did you find me? Are you going to mock me like now?”
Perhaps he had calmed down a bit, Aaron asked as he glared at me with his cold eyes.
I deliberately showed my teeth and responded with a smile.
“Of course, that’s quite a lot of fun, too.”
“…”
“Actually, I wanted to bring Nebula to this place and play with it in front of you.”
Of course, I didn’t really intend to do that, but I said it on purpose to provoke Aaron.
But, as expected, the guy didn’t show much reaction to those words.
If he had cared enough about that, he might not have even shaken Nebula in the first place.
“I knew it. As I expected, it wouldn’t have any effect?”
“Whatever that hideous bitch is, it has nothing to do with me.”
“If you beura heard it, would she be very sad?”
Aaron was staring at me with an expression that he really didn’t care.
Honestly, I expected it, but when I saw Aaron’s reaction, I thought it wouldn’t be bad if I really called Nebula here.
Of course, Nebula would also know that Aaron was only using her, but she would feel something about her when she saw it with her own eyes.
“If that’s all you have to say, get out of here.”
“You know you’re not in a position to say that right now, right?”
I smiled at Aaron and took out the ebony.
As I drew my sword, I saw Aaron’s already white face grow paler.
“Ser, no way, you’re going to kill me? I am the crown prince of this country…”
“It was. Now I am just a sinner.”
I deliberately thrust my sword into the prison where Aaron was confined and intercepted his words.
As the sharp blade of the sword pointed towards him, Aaron fell backwards in fear.
Even though he hadn’t done anything yet, Aaron started shouting at the prison entrance with a terrified expression on his face.
“Guards! What are you doing if you don’t bring this madman out right away!”
Its desperate cries echoed through the prison, but of course no one came this way.
That would also be the case, because from the first meeting with him, I had told Mary to keep others away.
It was only natural that Aaron, the former crown prince, and Mary, the current emperor, weighed differently.
“It’s ugly. Aaron. Still, the you I remember wasn’t like this.”
Sreureung-.
As I deliberately slashed the prison bars with an ebony blade, I saw Aaron’s face grow more terrified.
Honestly, even I didn’t expect him to show such a weak side.
Still, in my previous life, I was the one who rose to the position of emperor, and he was the one who plunged me into the pit of despair.
“Sah, live. If you’re not greedy, don’t be greedy anymore. If you give me just one small territory on the outskirts of the empire, I will be satisfied and live the rest of my life there.”
I frowned as I saw Aaron praying at me like that.
It was because the more I faced the servile figure of the guy, the more I felt like I was getting dirtier for some reason.
“Okay. Well, tell me. Who are the other helpers who helped you?”
Of course, I had no intention of granting Aaron’s request, but I asked him that.
The purpose of my coming to him in the first place was not to harass him, but to find another helper for him.
However, no matter how much he recalled his previous life of his, he could not come up with a person with enough ability to evade Marian’s pursuit of her.
“Aid? Who are you talking about?”
But Aaron answered me like that with an expression that he didn’t understand what I was saying at all.
Then, with a curious expression, he started listing the names of the nobles of the empire who had helped him.
But, of course, the answer I wanted wasn’t the names of those small fish.
“No, not that kind of thing, but the power that was protecting you.”
I asked Aaron again, and he just blinked his eyes with a really incomprehensible expression.
