Chapter 99

Americus was strangled by Aiden and forced to look up at him.

Aiden Etherland's eyes looked as if they would never waver.

Aiden continued, "I said I would take care of it. Whether it's you or An Zhi, just listen."

He slowly loosened his grip, and the suffocating feeling disappeared.

"Put away your sword, and go back to sleep."

"I promised you, and I won't break my promise."

Aiden had promised Americus, and he had promised everyone.

He will shoulder Amer's fate, give him eternal rest at the last moment, and send him back to the territory of Eselan where he will not be disturbed by the outside world.

Americus's throat rolled and he uttered a low "hmm", his voice trembling.

He knew he was shamelessly putting all the blame on Aiden.

Only Eslan can kill Eslan, what will happen to Aiden who is left behind?

Aiden promised to guard Etheran's resting place, but he never revealed what kind of ending he had chosen for himself.

Americus was the youngest, and he naturally enjoyed the love of his parents, brothers and sisters.

Now he wants Aiden to take the blame for his life.

But A'mo couldn't help but relax.

There was still Aiden, at least there was still Aiden.

In the eleventh year since my parents, brothers and sisters passed away one after another.

Aiden Eslan still stood at the front, shielding them from all the wind and rain.

Americus knew Aiden was right.

He just needs to go back to sleep.

Aiden will still forgive him tomorrow.

Forgive him for this evening's offense, just as you have forgiven him for so many other wrongs he has done before.

Aiden would never abandon him.

"But brother."

Americus leaned against the wall and spoke slowly.

“It’s not fair, she’s an Etheran, she has the same blood as us, but she hasn’t made any mistakes so far.

He never killed anyone, lost control, or caused a riot..."

At the end of his speech, Americus held Aiden's hand, trying to find some reluctance on his face.

Even for himself.

Why can't An Zhi stay to accompany Aiden?

They both have many years to go.

An Zhineng will be able to spend much more time with Aiden than he, an Eslan who is about to reach the end of his life.

Aiden just looked at him, "How do you know there aren't any?"

Americus looked at Aiden in disbelief, "She started? That's impossible."

An Zhi is not yet an adult, and his mental strength has not yet fully developed. Logically speaking, he will gradually begin to develop after he approaches adulthood and his mental strength stabilizes.

Their brothers and sisters, including their father, began to gradually become like that after they became adults.

Aiden remained emotionless, continuing his cold narration as if reading a briefing he had foreseen:

"According to the surveillance footage on Junk Planet, she killed ten bugs chasing her. On Halo Planet, the surrounding signal patterns became disrupted several times, preventing the Seventh Legion's reinforcements from entering the underground river."

There are only two possibilities.

Either An Zhi took the initiative to do it, or An Zhi had already started from that time.

She had begun to lose control of her enormous and chaotic mental power, which began to affect her surroundings without her even realizing it.

The answer is obvious.

It's the latter.

So Americus knew best what An Zhi would eventually become.

He saw with his own eyes his father, brothers, sisters, and himself walking down that known path.

The most sensible and simplest way is to end it in time.

It was also the first decision Aiden made.

Americus' grip on Aiden's collar gradually loosened.

He forgot that he was so excited to share something with Aiden when he left the meditation room.

He finally understood why Aiden was determined to end An Zhi's life, and why Aiden said that An Zhi was more like an Eslan than he had imagined.

Americus called Aiden, "Brother."

He leaned his arms on the table in a daze, supporting his body as if he was carrying an unbearable burden.

"After father and his family, are we now ready to send An Zhiye to his grave?"

Aiden had already made this preparation when he stabbed his father to death on the throne.

Aiden stood straight. "Stand up, Americus. Don't be afraid. Don't think about anything. Don't worry about anything. When the time comes, you can sleep peacefully in Etherland's territory. No one will disturb you."

Just as he had shouldered his father's fate, he would shoulder the fate of Amorys and Andriys, ending their suffering at that moment and giving them eternal rest.

Aiden didn't say the last sentence.

But Americus was visibly more relaxed, with Aiden around, with Aiden still around.

Aiden Esseran took out a collar from some drawer and buckled it around Americus's neck with expert movements.

"Relax, I'll take you out for some fresh air the day after tomorrow."

Americus stood beside the huge scratch that penetrated the wall and reached out to touch it. "Brother, your mental control is getting better and better."

Americus lowered his eyes and said softly, "I won't forget to wear the collar next time."

In the past, when it was just him and Aiden in the palace, Americus did not wear the collar.

Because Aiden was there, he could easily subdue Amer.

So he only needs to wear this neck ring that combines monitoring and stabilization when he goes out.

However, after An Zhi came, Amorys was afraid that he would hurt her, so he basically wore the collar all the time, not even taking it off when sleeping.

No electronic devices can be brought into the meditation room, because the highly purified mental suppression crystals will make all electronic devices inoperable. Ameris had forgotten to bring them when he just came out.

Aiden sensed this somewhat chaotic atmosphere as he just stepped onto the third floor.

Aiden just said, "Yeah."

That kind of highly pure mental power suppression crystal is not a good thing.

People in the past had no way to use it, but after the emergence of mental stabilizers, it was quickly replaced.

Whether putting prisoners in cells filled with highly purified mental suppression crystals is a form of torture for war prisoners.

The military court also debated this issue repeatedly.

However, this crystal is so effective that there is currently no substitute.

Aiden used to take Americus with him whenever he went out.

Sometimes I really can't take it with me, so I leave it to him.

Americus didn't like going into the meditation room.

Aiden didn't care about him. After all, he had the collar and knew every little thing that happened.

Americus has been in good shape recently, and An Zhi likes him very much.
