The yellow-haired villain in Feng Aotian's novel also wants happiness

"There are other things later on like you bullying other aristocratic children at your will, having a corrupt private life, and running on more than a dozen boats. I won't give you examples one by one. In short, they are all words that my ears are tired of hearing."

Aldrich III said seemingly casually:

"But not long ago, I heard different news. It said that you had changed your past in the academy, studied hard, and started to behave in a manner consistent with a real son of a duke. It was like a different person."

"...With a family...and parents having great expectations, you have to try your best, right?" Mu En smiled.

"haha, really?"

Aldrich III was noncommittal and continued:

"I was naturally curious that a person could have such a sudden change, so I thought of calling you in. I wanted to see with my own eyes whether the rumors were true or not."

"...Then did your Majesty see anything?"

"..."

Aldrich III turned back and smiled faintly.

"you guess."

puff……

Your Majesty, are you so naughty?

Mu En was so upset by Aldrich III's sudden naughtiness that her breath was stuck in her chest, unable to move up or down.

But a flash of enlightenment suddenly flashed in his heart.

Your Majesty...are you testing me?

In other words, testing the Campbell family?

"Moon Campbell, let me ask you one last question."

Aldrich III no longer looked down at the city below him, looking up at the sunset.

"What do you want in the future?"

"future?"

"That's right."

Aldrich said:

"Now you are the son of a duke and the fiancé of the princess. You have a noble status, endless money, and power at your fingertips...

You can imagine how bright your future will be.

And when you step into that bright future and have things that ordinary people can never get even if they spend their entire lives, what do you want at that time? "

"I……"

Mu En was stunned.

What do you want in the future? This is really the most difficult question in the world to answer.

Because no one can tell what my future self will be.

But for Mu En, the answer to this question has long been determined.

Therefore, under this gentle sunset, Mu En scratched her cheek and said softly with a hint of shyness like a child announcing his ideals to his parents:

"I want to live happily..."

That's right.

Live happily.

This is his ultimate goal that has not changed at all after he traveled to this world, experienced so much, faced so much, and had so many brushes with death.

He is the yellow-haired villain in the story.

He was spied upon by evil gods and hated by fate.

But he still wants to live.

And happy.

So Easy.

"Yeah?"

But Aldrich III suddenly turned back and looked at him with pity:

"For you, this is truly the hardest thing in the world to obtain."

29. New appointment

"The hardest thing?"

Hearing Aldrich III's words, Mu En couldn't help but feel dazed.

It is indeed difficult.

Because thinking back on this journey, all he faced were the most terrifying things in the world.

Corrupt cupid.

The Blight King.

Silent Moon.

The Evil God, who might not be involved by others in his life, was gathering around him like a crowd.

And even now that the curtain is about to come to a close, he can only say that he has temporarily gained some free time. No one can tell what the future will bring.

"But... we can only move forward, right?" Mu En said with a smile.

"..."

Aldrich III took a deep look at Mu En, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Then get lost."

"Eh?"

"I said you can get out."

Aldrich said expressionlessly:

"I've finished talking, do you still want to stay here for dinner? Let me remind you, brat, as a father, although I am very incompetent, I don't know how many little girls will be fascinated by your scum. The male face is so annoying!”

"..."

Mu En's mouth twitched hard.

When I came in just now, I called him the Campbell boy. Now that the test is over, I call him the brat. Who is more of a scumbag?

"Then I will take my leave, Your Majesty."

Mu En respectfully touched her chest and bowed, then turned and left.

Just the moment he walked out of the room, Mu En seemed to hear the emperor's vague murmur.

"Moon Campbell, it's not that easy to be my daughter's husband."

"..."

…

After Mu En left.

Aldrich III still stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly watching the setting sun sink completely into the horizon.

The world gradually fell into endless night, and stars twinkled in the sky. The majestic silence drowned the man who stood still like a statue.

"Come and catch me."

"Haha, I can't catch it, I can't catch it..."

The sudden noise, coming with the sound of wind, interrupted Aldrich's contemplation. He knew that it was his eldest son who had a bad mind since he was a child, and started playing with his maid again.

Carefree.

Out of place.

"How long is it until Celcia's birthday?"

Aldrich suddenly asked in this room where he seemed to be alone.

"Your Majesty, there are still eight months and thirteen days left." A hoarse voice came from the shadows.

"Eight months?"

Aldrich lowered his head and looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the city that were gradually lighting up. His deep eyes finally glowed with an unexplainable light.

"A little too long."

He let out a long sigh and took his hands back into his sleeves to cover up the cracks on his wrists that were exactly the same as the fence he had crushed, which even Mu En, who was just in front of him, had not noticed.

…

…

"Ha... As expected of Your Majesty, the pressure is really great."

After walking along the corridor and out of the sight of the two guard knights, Mu En finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just a few words, but it was much more tiring than a big fight.

This made Mu En couldn't help but sigh, in terms of the ability to make people weak, you and your daughter are really equally outstanding.

Thinking about it, Mu En suddenly staggered a little, her face turned pale, and the feeling of emptiness in her body came from time to time.

Only then did he realize that he had eaten nothing during the whole day except An's Shiquan Dabu Decoction.

Well, maybe he had some chocolate last night, but that was nothing compared to what he had consumed during this period.

hungry.

It's a pity that the rich woman didn't give him food.

"It's such a stingy thing to even ignore dinner in such a huge palace."

Mu En muttered and quickened his pace, wanting to leave the palace quickly to find food.

But just then, he heard someone calling him.

"Master Campbell."

Subconsciously turning his head, he saw the middle-aged man who had just met him, coming out of His Majesty's room, standing at the corner of the corridor, seemingly waiting for him.

"Who are you……"

The feeling of familiarity came to me again, but Mu En couldn't remember it.

"Master Campbell is such a noble man who forgets many things."

The man smiled, took off his hat and saluted:

"His Excellency, Sean Jones, is a young baron. He was fortunate enough to be invited by Duke Campbell to attend your coming-of-age ceremony at the Duke's Palace. We met at that time."

"Oh, it's you!"

Mu En suddenly remembered.

He said why he looked so familiar. He had seen this baron before when he was welcoming guests at the coming-of-age ceremony.

At that time, his cheap father specifically mentioned to him that Sean Jones was...

It is gold buried in identity.

Yes, that's what my father said at that time, and his tone was quite emotional. Because it was rare to see such melancholy emotions in that lion-like man, Mu En also remembered it more clearly.

Thinking of this, Mu En suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Sean:

"Baron Sean, you just met His Majesty because..."

"I just received some instructions from His Majesty."

The man with gray hair on his temples was holding a top hat and suddenly became very excited:

"I have just been appointed as the new consul of Xiacheng District by His Majesty himself."

"Archon..."
