“Is this all you want to do with my authority?”

Aria nodded her head.

He thought she would regret it even a little bit, but she looked like she had no regrets at all.

“Haa..”

She’s not interested in anything like that, let alone taking a share of the authority she’s been given.

Rather, she was using it to help someone who has nothing to do with her.

It only made the impression that she didn’t fit in at all with Valentine.

‘You don’t seem interested in money, fame, or power.’

The most difficult thing to deal with in this world was a human being who could not move with money, honor, and power.

Because he doesn’t know what they want.

‘Let’s try to push what the alternative purpose is.’

But she’s already done it.

Aria only said nonsense saying that ‘being patted felt good’.

Still, it felt strangely incompatible to be just a little child who just wanted to be loved.

No wonder he didn’t feel good. He didn’t know exactly what it was.

The feeling of saving Lloyd from the threat of life several times continued to warn.

He shouldn’t be next to her.

‘As expected, I’ll have to get you out.”

Lloyd made an even more firm resolve.

Knowing that Grand Duke Valentine is aging, that won’t stop him from going out on his own feet.

He looked at Vincent for a moment and said.

“You… we’ll talk next time.”

“Yes, brother.”

Vincent still had no strength in his body, but he smiled as if he was trying hard.

Lloyd sighed for a moment at the sight of the boy, and then he passed by indifferently.

So, only Aria and Vincent were left.

Aria tried to follow Lloyd away, but she stopped her steps as if she had suddenly remembered.

And she rummaged through her old bag.

[I understand. Why did you have to say and act like that.]

Of course, it didn’t seem to be overboard, but Vincent was quite desperate.

In order not to be ignored somehow.

To shake off the shadow of one’s origin that seems to be impossible to escape no matter how hard he tries.

He desperately wanted to show the world that he was a genius.

Wasn’t it some sort of defense mechanism?

[I know you said it in good faith that you listened to my performance and recommended Valentine’s support.]

Because that’s your way of survival.

She swallowed her words.

[I think it’s cute to hear you brag that you’re a genius.. But don’t cross the line. Unless you want to fulfill the myth that geniuses are short-lived.]

“…..”

‘Is this consolation or intimidation?’

Vincent was confused.
