When Ruan Tang opened her eyes, she was leaning on Austin's shoulder.
Auston was staring at him without blinking his eyes. When he saw him open his eyes, he immediately said unhappily, "Are you finally awake? I've been watching you for a while. You can still fall asleep at this time. I really admire you."
Ruan Tang leaned in his arms, staring at ALPHA in front of him but didn't think much about it.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you say you wanted to meet Aesop Kamihil? We're almost at the palace." Austin was a little confused by his look. Not knowing what was wrong with him, he urged him immediately.
Ruan Tang suddenly grabbed his hand, and kissed him on the lips in an irresistible and domineering manner, saying word by word: "I love you..."
This is what he most wanted to say to Auston after recovering his third life's memory.
There are many people in the world, each of whom is completely different from others in terms of their growing environment, personality and hobbies. Therefore, no matter how many people there are in the world, his personality traits and other aspects will determine from the very beginning who he will fall in love with.
A person may meet many people in his life, but he may never meet one who completely meets his requirements and preferences for a partner.
In Ruan Tang's first life, he and Austin had only met a few times and never had the chance to get to know each other. But throughout his life, no matter how many people pursued and admired him, he never fell in love with anyone, because none of the people around him met his requirements as exactly as Austin did.
And now, looking at ALPHA beside him——
Ruan Tang just felt that he was extremely lucky, because God had already arranged everything for him perfectly, and his fate was destined to be perfect.
So that he doesn't have to search in the vast crowd, or spend his whole life without knowing what love feels like.
"You... why are you saying this?" Auston was confused by his sudden confession and kiss. His ears turned red unconsciously. He tried his best to maintain his composure and whispered, "I know."
What a joke this OMEGA is. He loves to act like a spoiled brat too much.
Don't even look at what time it is.
"That's good to know." Ruan Tang looked at Auston, and her mind suddenly could no longer hold anything else. As if she had been reborn, she spoke word by word: "You should know that I am the protagonist of the world. You will not suffer any loss if you are with me. If you dare to let me down, the world will punish you."
Auston looked at him with a smile, thinking he was joking with him, and immediately scratched his nose and said, "You have always been the only protagonist in my world."
"You are also my absolute protagonist." Ruan Tang looked at him deeply, hugged Auston madly and kissed him.
No matter whether they are characters in the book or not, and no matter how many outsiders want to invade this world, as long as she is with Auston, Ruan Tang feels that she is not afraid of anything.
After three lifetimes, he came here just to meet him...
They are truly destined to be together.
…
When they entered the palace, Aesop had already changed into the imperial robe and was sitting upright on the throne waiting for them.
From the orphanage to today, Aesop has always been a person with strong psychological quality. Even at this point today, there has never been a trace of panic on his face. From beginning to end, he has been so elegant and calm, just like a bone.
There is an aristocratic temperament in the room.
"...I didn't expect to see you so soon." When he saw Ruan Tang and Auston Ruan Yang, he even greeted them as if nothing had happened: "You came faster than I thought."
The winner takes it all.
After failing to kill Austin and trying to seize his destiny, Aesop had already anticipated his current fate, so he accepted the result very calmly.
Ruan Yang looked at her ex-boyfriend with cold eyes and took a deep breath: "...Although it is unnecessary, I still want to ask, why did you do this?"
If Aesop had nothing in the past and had to climb up, why should he do this now that he has everything?
Aesop looked at the ex-boyfriend whom she once truly loved questioning her like this, but suddenly she laughed out loud, and the mask on her face cracked for a moment: "Hahaha, why did I do this? Ruan Yang, you ask me why I did this?"
"I am from the royal family of Osphia. I have the same noble blood as Austin, Wilson, and Andrew. They live a life of luxury and are treated like stars by everyone. But because of the persecution of that woman Mary, I could only follow my mother to the red-light district, and finally ended up in an orphanage... I lived the poorest, most miserable, and most destitute life, competing with a group of poor orphans for moldy bread. I had to rely on selling my labor to barely feed myself since I was a child..." He chuckled, as if he had heard a joke: "Why do you think I do this?"
He used to love Ruan Yang very much, and loved the warmth and sunshine that Ruan Yang gave him...
But gradually, he discovered that he and Ruan Yang had different values after all, and they could not be the same kind of people, nor could they be together.
He is like a fungus that constantly absorbs nutrients in the darkness and humidity at night, while Ruan Yang is a pine or cypress that grows in the sun and dry environment. They may be attracted to each other for a short time and come together, but will eventually separate because they cannot understand each other.
It was as if at this moment, Ruan Yang was still asking him why?
Isn't this obvious?
"You told me before that you couldn't stand the life you were living, the suffering and desolation, so you have been working hard to climb up by any means necessary... Although I didn't agree at the time, I could understand. What about now? You are already the most honorable Imperial Highness of the Empire, you are the younger brother recognized by the Emperor Chang, the highest-ranking, most honorable, and most pampered OMEGA in the entire Osphia..." Ruan Yang couldn't understand what he did: "Why do you still do this?"
When they were in love, Ruan Yang felt very sorry for Aesop's dark and bitter past. Although he sometimes felt that some of Aesop's ideas were too extreme, he felt more sorry for his lover who had suffered so much.
But now, he thoroughly discovered——
He never fully understood Aesop, and their three views were actually incompatible from the very beginning.
Aesop had no idea what it meant to stop while you're ahead and was simply insatiable in his greed.
Even if someone wants to help him, he will not climb up at all, but will only drag others into the same swamp and abyss as him.
"Emperor Chang?" Aesop sneered after hearing his words: "Do you think my position as Emperor Chang fell from the sky? I am more hardworking and diligent than anyone else. I gave up my love, sold my soul, and did countless dirty things for the emperor. I am completely twisted, and I finally got this so-called title of Emperor Chang."
"But what is the result?"
"What do you mean by the most prestigious and noble OMEGA?" Aesop said word by word with hatred, "Even though I am the eldest minister of the imperial court, that idiot Andrew still bosses me around, relying on his status as the queen's daughter to humiliate me in every way. He wants to take away my things and he takes them away at will. As for the emperor, I have done so many things for him, but he said nice things with his mouth, but in fact, he still helps his own brother to humiliate me. He has never really respected me from the bottom of his heart and never treated me as a thing..."
The saddest thing in life is this——
He thought that if he gave up everything and made a deal with the devil, he could climb to a high position and get everything he wanted.
But after climbing to a high position, he found that he was still nothing... and he had lost what he originally owned.
"You..." Ruan Yang didn't expect him to be so paranoid.
"I don't allow you to curse my father!" But when Ryan heard Aesop insult Prince Andrew, he stood up all of a sudden, looked at Aesop hatefully, and said word by word: "My father has never hurt you, and Brother Austin has never hurt you. It's you who has been hurting others. You were the first to hurt my father... If you don't fight back after being beaten, you are a fool. Do you mean you are allowed to hurt others but not others to fight back?"
"You teamed up with Layton to harm my father, so what's wrong with my father fighting back!" Ryan was furious when he saw him confuse right and wrong. "And what does your poor background have to do with my father? He didn't rob you. He can enjoy everything because he is the queen's son, and you are not... You blame this and that, why don't you blame your own mother?"
Although Prince Andrew is a well-known playboy who is unruly and rude, he never takes the initiative to humiliate others for no reason.
The reason why he targeted Aesop was simply because Aesop had teamed up with Duke Leighton to cheat their family.
Prince Andrew was no longer with us, and Ryan felt he needed to clear his name.
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? You're just a bastard that Andrew brought in to pretend to be of royal blood. How dare you talk nonsense in front of me?" Aesop didn't expect that after robbing Ruan Yang and losing everything, Ryan would still dare to confront him. He looked at Ryan with a gloomy look and scolded him in a cold tone that almost skinned him alive.
While he felt inferior, he was also very proud that he had the noble blood of the so-called Osphia royal family. Otherwise, he would not have spent most of his life struggling to regain his status as a member of the royal family.
In his opinion, Ryan, who was not of Osphia's royal blood but had pretended to be an imperial minister for so many years, was nothing more than a pariah and a bastard whose royal blood was mixed up.
"You are the one who should shut up!" Ruan Yang didn't expect him to dare to speak to Ryan like this. He immediately protected Ryan behind him and said in a cold tone: "Based on the blood that the Xue family and the Kalande family shed for Osphia, let alone His Highness Changdiqing, no one in Osphia, including His Highness Austin, has the right to say such words to Ryan!"
Everyone in the Ophia royal family owes Ryan a blood debt, so Ryan is qualified to be high above anyone in the Ophia royal family and be the center of attention. These are Prince Andrew's original words.
Even a royal playboy knows this truth, knowing how many people the Xue and Kalande families died and how much blood was shed for the empire. How could Aesop, who grew up in the slums, not understand this?
He just didn't care.
Because, in the eyes of a royal family as high and mighty as his, the people of the Xue and Kalande families were nothing but pariahs who deserved to die for them and were not worth mentioning at all.
Although Aesop Kamihil did not grow up in the Osphia royal family, he inherited the cold-blooded and selfish genetic character of the Osphia royal family.
