Aaron and Stephan with others entered a large hall to talk. At first, people tried to exclude Daniel from the meeting. They were talking about civil service exams and military exam arrangements. Every year they would conduct this exam and let different people set the question in secret. It is to stop the leaked of the paper. They don't want anyone else from the officials to join this discussion.
But how could Stephan allow this to happen? He dragged Aaron into this asking so many questions. If he didn't reply to Stephan, he would react strongly childishly. So, in the end, he took the brush and paper and got involved with them. It was easy.
Many of those officials were stunned to see his thorough understanding of every subject. He answered the given questions and changed the ones that were redundant and repeated. the question and answer that was to be set up after a weak was already completed.
Stephan didn't forget to boast about his past life, "He used to study in the imperial library all day and night. He was the one who topped in every subject in the past. You people must not know this because it was not announced due to his shy nature. An additional reason is also because the scores were too terrifying. Every subject had full marks, not a single mark low. You, people, can imagine just how much he studied. right?" his nose high thinking this.
This made him look cartoony and Aaron couldn't help but look elsewhere to smile. Seeing their actions, the officials were stunned to even speak. It is one in a million years to see the cold General smile and the crown prince be this childish. General Sam had a very bright smile and Minister Allen also had a smile thinking deeply. Another official didn't mind him and expressed their heartfelt thanks to him.
Some even asked him to join the civil service department. He denied and Stephan also insisted on it. But his decision was the same, "I would have if my passion lay here but I like to wield sword. I would always belong there." Always if not for this plot. His sight fell on Stephan. It anguished him to see Stephan sad.
Stephan sighed and mumbled, "I wished for you to stay." He wished to change this damn plot of the world. He would do anything to make him stay with him but there is no way to do it. He had a talk with his system, and she said there is only one way that is to kill the world consciousness, he has to finish this world. In simple words, this was a sarcastic reply. Wouldn't that be the same as killing themselves?
That was the first time when he couldn't do anything, but sigh, and the little system had a wide grin on her ball-like face. He was irritated by that and wanted to beat the system. However, that little system was already aware of his thoughts and didn't wait for him and disappear in the space vortex.
Then they walked out of the meeting room. His mood was very bad. He just wants to go back and hug this person. But as they left the room everyone outside was waiting for them. They also have things to discuss with the crown prince. They want to talk with him right now because in the court there would be a lot of contradiction and compilatory. But today they are destined to be disappointed.
Looking at everyone, Stephan sat and had a sip of wine than spoke, "Please enjoy yourself, we have some urgent work. So, I and General will withdraw early. Everything you have to discuss please do it with Right Minister." He didn't forget the earlier action of this minister.
The Minister had an ugly face. He cursed Stephan in his heart but only showed a helpless look. His wife looking at him with a big smile, but the minister wants to tell her to go back.
Stephan stood up and hopped down the stairs. Behind him, Aaron followed. From the start, he didn't say much. Just stayed with him calmly. Yet no one can ignore him. Seeing them walking one after another, they saw their height match and strong presence. Cold and warm effect in one frame. They looked like two gods descending on the earth. Sun shone on them, and their features reflected the majestic glow in them. It took a while to come back to their senses.
No one inquired him. They walked away from the middle of all. Aaron nodded toward all and left. John with other nobles' men was about to block them but was stopped by imperial guards. In the carriage, Aaron asked, "You left so abruptly, wouldn't it be bad? They would feel displeased with your action."
Stephen replied, "Nothing would happen. They were asking for it. If I didn't act like this, they would take me for granted later on. As the crown prince I have to take drastic actions. So, as the upcoming monarch, shouldn't I rebuke them a little?"
Stephan barely finished his words, and he was again drowned in him. Like a flower in the snow, he is in front of him. Like immortal, peerless, and very alluring. Feeling discomfort under his strong gaze, Aaron coughed and said, looking away, "Don't look at me like this." That gaze could mold a hole in his consciousness. His gazes diverted and looked outside the window. He is sure that this person is thinking something that he cannot even imagine.
Stephen's eyes wide opened. Daniel is shy?! He is shy!! Shy! How cute, he is shy just with his gaze. This is very ravishing. He thought and looked away. His heart is full of smiles.
The journey remains silent. Their hearts beat in a rhythm. The atmosphere is funny, nonetheless beautiful. One looks at another from time to time. Others looking elsewhere to escape his gazing. But their heart was extremely happy.
They walked out of the carriage and inside the palace. When they arrive at Crown Prince's, Chamber. Stephan dispersed all the servants and said, "Let's talk about this system." He sat down and asked him to sit too.
Aaron nodded while sitting he said, "I know everything we will go according to our plan. So, we cannot obstruct each other's mission." After saying this, he saw Stephen saying nothing but just examining him.
Stephan gazed and gazed for a while before asking, "You did not feel anything weird? Hmm, like your heart beating crazily."
Aaron gave an honest reply, "I did feel something unnatural. Same as you. That's why I'm saying we should work separately. If not, you know it will be very hard for us to focus on our goals." He couldn't even focus while he was so far away from him. If they stayed together, he dares not imagine what his situation would.
A smile appeared on Stephan's face and instead said, "I don't agree with you. I'm having a very hard time without you. You don't know how tough it is. So, I want to be with you every time. Please agree with me. Maybe you will feel the same way tonight." Stephan added, making his eye bigger, "Seriously."
Aaron stood wordless but was not very surprised by his words. As if his heart had expected this. He said, thinking back then the sense of familiarity, " You make me feel.... like… that I know you. My name is Aaron, and yours?"
Stephan laughed and said, "Oh, I feel this way too! Ah, my bad! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ace Gray." His excitement is on another level. If anyone saw this side of him from the real world they would collapse from shock. Considering his usual cold and lazy face this is earth-shattering.
The system that saw this was accustomed to his friendly nature with Aaron. She can't help but say to the other system, "Look at him, he is a monster while talking with me but to your host, he is a child." The other system ignored her and said, "It is normal, they are destined to be together." Right then they saw something very frightening.
"Ace Gray, Ace Gray, it does seem familiar. But where did I hear it? How can ahh!!" Aaron muttered and keeled over due to pain. He clenched his teeth and the veins bulged in his forehead. Then after struggling, he fainted straight away. It happened so fast that Ace didn't have time to react. "Hey, Aaron, what happened? Damn System, show yourself!!" shouted Ace with a frightening cold tone.
A flustered female pink ball was kicked out from her space and appeared beside Ace. She hurriedly checked the lying person and said, "He has just fainted. No need to shout like he is dead. God, you scared me to death."
Ace sighed, he looked worried. His whole body emits a cold aura. He very gently carried him, then placed him on the bed. He adjusted all his clothing and saw him sweating uncontrollably. He felt terrible and asked, " Why he fainted after hearing my name?" Mechanical voice flustered, "I don't know!!"
Ace felt that this little punk didn't want to live anymore. He mocked, his face darkened, "You don't know? Who do you think you are making a fool of? Spit it out!!"
"I don't know, okay." But who is Ace? How can he just say, Oh, is that so? Okay, then you can go. He doesn't have an innocent mind. His heart impatient with her. He grabbed the ball and made a look at her as if she was dead already. It was so dark and terrifying the little ball almost got a psychological attack.
"Ahhh!! Your name is carved in his mind. Even after sealing his memory, he could tell your name was familiar. Hence, he pushed himself and that seal reacted like a defense mechanism. Thus, he fainted due to that seal." her voice trembling and fast. The mechanical female fluffy thing didn't dare to look at him again.
"Why is there a seal?" Ace raised a question.
"Please, host, don't ask this. I'm not qualified to answer this." said the female fluffy.
Ace did not believe her and pressured, "If you don't tell me. Don't blame me for going back to perish." He is not someone to care about the system. He could perish right away if she didn't agree.
The fluffy thing jumped due to shock, "Ahhh! Host, you are so heartless! It's for his good if not he will remember a tragic past that is related to you. And maybe he will get traumatized from it." Ace's face grew darker and warned, "If anything happened to him, you would bear the consequences."
The fluffy thing nodded countless times before disappearing within the vortex. He did not pressure her anymore. If the truth is related to him, then he doesn't want to know it at all. He just wants to have a peaceful life with Aaron. Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter to him.
Ace saw Aaron sweating all over. He wiped all the sweat slowly, ricocheting at Aaron. If what the system is saying is true, then his memory is also sealed, isn't it? What is the true identity of the two of us?
After a long deep thought, He finally said, "Forget it!! Whatever the past and memory are, one thing is sure. That is, Aaron is my spouse."
How can one still remember him even after sealing his memory? If not for love, then who? He also felt a very strong sentimental attachment to him. If Aaron is the person, he has been waiting for till now he can accept this setting.
Ace smiled and saw Aaron moving his lips saying something. However, his attention is not on the word Aaron is saying but, on his cherry-like lips. He bent to near the distance between them before kissing him. The sweet taste made him unable to stop probing inside Aaron. He always used to think his sexual desire was death, but now feeling himself tremble over Aaron there comes an ineffable feeling. Like he can die for him. Aaron is the trigger of his madness. Like only Aaron can be so special to him.
Ace said to the asleep Aaron, "Let your hubby hug you tonight. Who knows how many years we were apart from each other? Whatever the period it was, from now on we will be together. I will never leave you. It's my promise."
Saying this he jumped to the right of Aaron's side embosom tightly, his love. He caressed Aaron's back, making him feel good. Soon Aaron stops trembling, feeling Ace's warm body, and drifts into a dreamless sleep.
However, unlike them, their system is not very calm. Two fluffy things in the vortex are about to strangle each other. White Fluffy said, "It's all because of you! Why did you inform him? You could have lied to him. Tell him you don't know and disconnect the connection with him."
Pink Fluffy replied, "It's so hard to deal with him. He is so smart and can detect lies and truth right away. There is no way to make him a fool. He even blackmailed me saying he would go back or die there himself. What can I do to a person like this?"
White Fluffy sighed, "Forget it. How should we explain this to seniors? They may send us to get destroyed. Ahhhh!!!"
Grabbing her nonexistent hair, the pink fluffy screamed "What to do? What to do?!!!!! Ahhhh! Why do we have to deal with these two monsters?"
Seeing her more anxious than himself, white fluffy consoled her ignoring his fear "Don't worry. It's our first time. They will not be very cold-hearted to send us directly to destroy the center."
Pink Fluffy nodded quickly, "Yeah, you are right. I will show him the footage. They can see how hard it is to tame them."
White Fluffy said encouraging her "Yeah!! Yeah! There, there don't cry, okay? Let's go to report it."
It's so hard to deal with Pink Fluffy. White Fluffy lost all his energy to deal with pink fluffy. In his heart, he repeated one sentence, 'Nothing will happen!! Don't worry, don't worry '. It's natural to stress. After all, they are also souls who have to work for others.
