Although this was just a test from Aarons, it was actually the question he had always wanted to ask.

Whether she was the former princess of the empire or the current Queen of Stars, Clary has always been at a height that Aarons could hardly reach - even if they were temporarily connected due to some fate, it did not mean that the relationship was stable.

For Klia, she doesn't need to get anything from Aarons...or anything Aarons can provide can be replaced by others.

She clearly had better choices, but she chose herself - and even felt sad about her own death.

"...Am I really qualified to be chosen by you?"

This is indeed a question of facing one's true self.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might start to think about her motives when questioned like this, and even start to recalculate the pros and cons of doing so.

Because the two of them are indeed unequal. If judged by common sense, it is obvious that Claire's input and output are completely unequal.

But Aarons made a mistake.

"Huh? What incomprehensible words are you talking about? My choice cannot be questioned by anyone! Not even you!"

So firm that there is no doubt about it, so willful that it is unreasonable, and also - so passionate that it is thrilling.

"I believe that you will stand by my side! Then I will not regret my decision! If you dare to deny my determination, I will turn you into ashes with my own hands!"

The earth trembles because of the burning passion, and the sky ripples because of the high will.

That is an unquestionable determination and an emotion that cannot be questioned.

"Heroic soul that has wandered here from another world, you are the partner I have chosen!"

When Aarons heard such an irrefutable answer, his spirit couldn't help but stagnate.

…Yes, he made a mistake from the beginning.

"Yeah...how could your vision be wrong?"

After realizing this biggest mistake that he had not noticed, Aarons barely raised one hand in the astonishing power, signaling the women behind him who had rushed back to stay where they were.

Because next, it is a path that only he can move forward.

"Then it's my turn to ask questions! Since you dared to appear in front of me after betraying me, you must be begging for my forgiveness!"

Violent lava columns suddenly rose from around the floating island, and then began to curl and move as if they had gained life - then, at the end of those magma columns wrapped in huge heat, animal heads of various shapes appeared.

That power is simply not something that humans can resist, and weak humans like Aarons may be swallowed up at any time.

"I am a wise ruler with a broad mind. Of course I can forgive your foolish betrayal - but you'd better have thought of a reason for me to forgive you!"

"If you're expecting me to say something, I'm sorry, but I haven't thought of anything yet."

Words are meaningless at this time, because the other party will not be moved by such superficial form.

So from the very beginning, Aarons had decided to prove his will through action.

"But I will prove to you that this time, I will never give up my life so easily again!"

After shouting these words in the scorching wind that was hot enough to evaporate the body, Aarons began to walk towards the girl standing in front of the throne.

"Master, wait——"

"Don't go over there. This is between him and me."

Just as the women not far behind him were about to step forward to help, another Klia suddenly took action and stopped them with a high wall made of fire.

"I have answered his questions, now it's time for him to prove himself."

At this time, others finally understood the gap between themselves and Her Royal Highness the Princess.

From beginning to end, Claire never questioned her decision, nor did she ever doubt Aarons' will.

The turmoil of the world and the crisis of mankind are actually just very simple things to the Queen of Stars.

"After all, I am the half of me whose rationality and courtship instincts are completely out of control."

……

"Back off! I don't need your proof!"

The roaring heat wave had turned into a storm, making it difficult for Aarons to move forward.

Those snake-like monsters made of lava also continuously spewed out flames and hot rocks, trying to stop Aarons.

But what was extremely subtle was that all the attacks just grazed Aarons' body - whether it was fire or lava, they were just a little bit away from completely devouring his body.

"Sorry! I won't listen to you at a time like this!"

When Aarons realized that the Claire in front of the throne was actually no different from the past, he continued to move forward without hesitation.

"Mmmmmm - you stubborn and stupid fellow! Then I won't be polite! Come on, [My love is like a bright red fire in my palm]!"

A radiance as bright as the sun suddenly gathered in the hand of the Queen of Stars, which was raised above her head. The heat could be felt with the naked eye, as if it could completely burn everything it touched.

If the attack hit, Aarons' body would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"At this point... I'm not afraid of this kind of thing!"

However, after seeing the amazing light, Aarons instead put all his strength into it and started running towards the girl in front of the throne.

Even though the speed of advancement did not increase much, running in the heat wave that was enough to evaporate a person had already made Aarons display determination far beyond that of an ordinary person.

The ground was shaking more and more violently, and lava like meteorites was constantly falling from the sky - this doomsday-like scene was not a false illusion.

But Aarons didn't think about those things at all.

"This time, I will definitely not... die before you!"

Although this seems to be a subtle pun, when the Queen of Stars threw the stars in her hand with some annoyance, the world seemed to stand still, flashing a dazzling light that made it impossible to open your eyes.

However, the blazing star "just happened" to explode behind Aarons, and the surging air waves that followed even pushed his body forward.

"I will never be deceived like this again!"

After realizing that her attack had failed again, Cliya raised the giant sword in her hand and stabbed at Aarons who was stumbling towards her without hesitation.

But the light refracted by the heat caused her fatal sword to "accidentally" miss its target again.

“…Ah, I promise.”

After the last intersection, Aarons finally arrived at his destination - and there was no distance between him and the familiar girl.

"My overly willful princess, I'm back."

Therefore, Aarons, who already knew what he should do, decisively stretched out his hands and hugged the girl's slightly fragile waist, which seemed to be trembling slightly.

——Then, he kissed the red lips that seemed to have been waiting for a long time without hesitation.
