"This happened later in the story. After Vili relentlessly framed Hill many times, he was finally called in by the academy for his parents."
"..."
This plot has so many flaws.
Vili held back his complaints.
"The original owner came from a single-parent family. His mother died on the day he was born. Later, his father remarried and had twin brothers, so he didn't really have much of a presence in that family."
Vili shook his head slightly, expressing sympathy for the boy in the original story who shared his name.
He appears to be a glamorous young nobleman, born into a prestigious family and engaged to a prince. But in reality? There isn't a single person in this world who truly loves him.
That's probably why he clung to Aiden so desperately.
He was desperately craving love.
Unfortunately, his methods were flawed, and he encountered an unsuitable person.
"So when the original owner's father, Duke Russell, came to the academy, he was very angry and scolded him severely in public. The original owner couldn't bear such humiliation and ran away."
"Although Duke Russell didn't care much about his eldest son, he was worried that something might happen to him, so he hurriedly chased after him."
"On the way, he saw a figure that looked a lot like the original owner of the body, so he chased after it, but he didn't expect to see Hill who was alone and injured."
"...It's quite a coincidence."
Duke Russell felt a sense of kinship with the young man before him and couldn't help but walk up to him, inquire about his condition, and offer to bandage him.
"Hill refused, and as the two were struggling, a drop of blood from his wound fell onto Duke Russell's family heirloom ring, and the ring glowed."
“…Let me guess.” Vili finally couldn’t hold back any longer. “The mechanism of that ring is that it reacts to people with Russell family blood, right?”
"After the original owner was found, Duke Russell had him tested, which confirmed that he was not his son, but Hill was?"
Il nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
Vili held back for a long time, but finally started swearing.
Are they all idiots?
"Duke Russell, you are a nobleman of high rank, don't you think that your encounter with Hill is completely strange? How could it be such a coincidence that you saw a figure that looked like your son, and that the other person was injured, and that blood just happened to drip onto your ring."
"Besides, Hill is a commoner, isn't he? How could his family have swapped their son with a nobleman's son more than a decade ago? They weren't even in the same hospital where they gave birth, were they?"
"And that ring... Is he so sure it won't break after being passed down for so many years? Has the bloodline magic on it been regularly maintained and repaired?"
He was about to despair of this world that was dragging down the average IQ.
Vili took a deep breath and finally managed to calm down.
"But now we know that the original owner of this body was indeed not a child of the Russell family, but a prince. But this was not shown at all in the original work. Why is that?"
"Why?" the system repeated blankly.
Vili ignored him, lost in his own thoughts.
"Now we know that the only difference between my current behavior and that of the original owner is—"
"I have been confirmed as an all-attribute adaptable mage."
"Such talent is no exaggeration to call me a genius, and it's even enough to make others ignore the changes that have happened to me."
After all, he was very different from the original owner of the body, and he never tried to hide it.
"Why did the Queen exchange Aiden for me in the first place? And what is the difference between Aiden and me?"
Vili suddenly changed the subject and asked the system a question.
Il, recalling his previous conclusion, opened his mouth in disbelief.
"Aiden is an exceptionally talented mage, while you... your magical talent doesn't even meet Aetheran's admission standards?"
Vili smiled with satisfaction. If it weren't for the queen in front of him who was still nagging, he would have snapped his fingers triumphantly.
“I think my previous guess might not be without merit. The king only has one child, Aiden, maybe because he is impotent.”
"Huh?" The system was taken aback.
"Don't you have a reference book called 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' in your system database? I studied it a bit when I was bored these past few days..."
"Think about it, the entire royal family has only one heir, he is exceptionally talented, and he is the Queen's son..."
"If things continue like this, what worries does she still have?"
Il's CPU is about to burn out.
Vili continued to speculate.
"Although she managed to exchange her son with the duke's son through some means, the queen was reluctant to part with her own son, so she persuaded the king to arrange a marriage between the two children who were born on the same day."
"Once the original owner of this body marries back into the royal family, won't her son come back?"
"I think in the original story, the one who was most insistent on this marriage was our Queen, right?"
"No, that's right!"
The system checked its records and was dumbfounded.
"But things are different now. The son I abandoned has transformed into a genius... while the son I raised from childhood has started to rebel, even disregarding the marriage agreement and wanting to marry a commoner."
"How could the Queen not be anxious?"
Vili had seen through everything.
"But...but in the original story, the Queen never recognized Vili again, did she?"
"Isn't this obvious? In her eyes, the original owner of this body had no value whatsoever."
Vili's eyes were cold.
"I don't believe that after the Russell fake young master incident came to light, she couldn't guess who was behind it all."
He is definitely a good son who is just like her.
Would the original owner have any guesses about this?
Judging from what the Queen just said, it seems that she told the original owner about his true identity when he was a child.
This might be because she couldn't control her emotions, or it might be because she had already seen through the original owner's true nature.
That was a child who lacked love.
The Queen's words did not inspire any desire for the throne in him; he only felt that he had to hide everything for the sake of his only good fiancé, Aiden.
Obsessed with love.
Vili cursed inwardly, feeling utterly disappointed.
When he looked at the queen, who was standing before him with tears streaming down her face, he felt no emotion whatsoever.
Who knows how much sincerity she might have at this moment?
Was she crying for her suffering son, or for herself who had made the wrong decision and was now caught in a dilemma?
Willie started to get annoyed.
He lowered his head, concealing the coldness in his eyes.
"Mother..."
He changed his form of address, as if moved by the person in front of him, his voice softening.
The queen's eyes lit up with joy. She opened her arms and embraced the frail boy, who did not resist.
"My child, don't worry, your mother will definitely get justice for you!"
"The position of the prince's fiancé can only be yours!"
