The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"This, this is..."

The miserable scar, which was enough to make one's pupils tremble, extended from above the left eye to the right side of the lip.

It was as if it was torn apart alive by some evil creature, then stitched together haphazardly, and finally healed in an ugly and horrible way.

——That was not an ordinary wound at all.

"I'm sorry... your fiancée actually looks like this..."

"..."

Aarons heart began to beat violently.

The blood was boiling and the thoughts were burning, with no way to cool down.

It was not because he felt fear at seeing the ugly face, nor was it because he felt sad at being deceived - at this moment, Aarons' heart was filled with only raging rage.

What mistake had she made...Why did the world treat her like this?

"…something happened."

"Sorry, I'd better cover this face first..."

"No! Let me see clearly... Let me see what's happening!"

A voice trembling with anger came out from between Aarons' teeth, which were almost broken. Claire's hands, which wanted to put on the veil, froze there.

——Why is he so angry?

"…Marquis, let me explain."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly strange, Sage Jiangyue sighed deeply and took the initiative to speak to break the deadlock.

"Ten years ago, on the day His Highness graduated from Imperial College, he accidentally encountered an accident."

"……ACCIDENT?"

"Your Highness ignored the advice and went to an unopened wilderness area on your own. As a result, you encountered a powerful monster there... Although you managed to save your life in the end, the scar on your face cannot be healed."

wrong.

As soon as Aarons heard it, he knew that this statement was full of loopholes - how could an imperial princess run into the wild alone without anyone protecting her and happen to encounter a monster?

Even if these are all coincidences, doesn't the royal family have an ancient secret treasure that can heal scars?

"...You don't believe this official statement, do you?"

"Tell me what the truth is."

"Teacher Jiangyue, let me tell you... the person who told me to go to the restricted area alone that day was my eldest brother."

Boom—Aarons’ fist hit the table directly because of anger.

...What is this?

The eldest son of the emperor, who is above everyone else and has a high probability of inheriting the throne in the future, would actually use such a despicable method to plot against his own sister?

Is it because you are jealous of your sister's extraordinary talent?

"I didn't know any magic or fighting spirit at that time. I was just an ordinary child... and even though the monster was only level three, it was enough to kill me."

With a somewhat sad expression, Claire reached out and touched the ugly scar on her face with twisted blood vessels - as if the pain left at that time was still there, tears flashed in her dark yellow pupils.

"But several Royal Guard Knights had discovered that I had run into the restricted area alone before that, so they finally arrived in time and saved me from being torn to pieces by the monster."

——But the story is not over yet.

"When my father learned that I was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he took out the ancient healing scroll that was originally prepared for him without hesitation. He ordered his royal physician to completely cure my injuries."

"… If there is such a thing, why hasn't it been cured yet?"

"Your Highness was in a deep coma at the time and had no idea what was going on... so I'll just have to continue."

Although Jiang Yue was the narrator of the story again, Aarons' eyes never left Cliya's face.

"The royal doctor and several assistants used the power of the ancient scroll to heal all of His Highness's injuries... But the wound on His Highness's face, which was torn by the monster's fangs, worsened due to the poison and curse of unknown origin."

"……deterioration?"

"This was the official statement released by the royal family at the time... I later investigated and found out the truth of the matter."

Having said this, the sage showed a frustrated expression.

She reached out and took off her thick-framed glasses, and rubbed her red eyes with her fingers. Then, a trace of unconcealable sorrow appeared in her voice.

"One of the royal physician's assistants was bribed. He used a special venom made by alchemy to secretly damage the wound on His Highness's face for the second time."

"Is this also——"

"And I finally found out who the culprit was... The person who bribed the assistant of the royal physician and deliberately made the princess completely disfigured was actually——"

"It's my second brother."

——This shocking answer was given by the third prince Loran who was sitting on the side.

"Because my father doted on my sister, those two bastards plotted to murder her, making her completely lose the possibility of inheriting the throne."

The empire originally did not allow women to inherit the throne.

No matter how much the emperor doted on his daughter, it was unlikely that he would really hand over the throne to her. However, in order to eliminate this tiny possibility, the two princes coincidentally used despicable means to murder their sister.

"After my sister was disfigured, my father immediately protected her and planned to let her live out the rest of her life in peace. But my two brothers began to petition my father again and again, suggesting that my sister be married to the son of a duke."

Even with this result, the two princes still did not intend to let their sister go.

"My father tried every possible way to delay this matter, but the three great dukes and several great marquises later began to bring it up. So my father was finally forced to decide to marry my sister to the family of Marquis Moti."

Aarons knew the rest very well - before his family officially entered into an engagement with the royal family, Marquis Moti and his young son were murdered by someone from an unknown force.

——All the causes and consequences were finally connected together at this moment.

……

“Hehehe…hahaha…hahahahaha—”

—Aarons smiled.

His eyes were flashing with red light like a raging fire, and his slightly crazy and twisted smile made others feel a little palpitated.

“…So this is how it all started.”

The order of the empire, the rules of the nobility, a peaceful and stable future - everything is just a false illusion in lies.

In fact, this country has long been controlled by people with evil intentions.

"Since these so-called noble people have long been corrupt, can I also live for my own selfish desires?"

After covering his face, which was already broken by anger, with his hands, Aarons finally let go of his last bit of hesitation and spoke out the greedy desire deep in his heart -

"Xia Ye, the great devil who has survived to this day. Please tell me how to heal that scar - tell me what price I must pay to fulfill this wish."

"Have you finally decided to become a greedy person? That's great."

After hearing his contractor finally cry out from the bottom of his heart, the evil Aries, who had never represented justice, also revealed a greedy and joyful smile.

"Take everything you want and crush everything you don't like."

Because from the very beginning, the people around Aarons were far away from the so-called "kindness" and "order".

"——And that is why we have gathered around you."
