Chapter 8: Sleepless Nights

A good night's sleep (only for Yu Ye Maru's []~( ̄▽ ̄)~*)

Andrew, on the other hand, tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, even though he closed his eyes, his mind was all about what happened tonight, the tragic situation of his parents, the plans of the Ari family, and the sudden arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Everything made him feel at peace for a long time.

He also knew very well in his heart that this was not an accident, but a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time. The Ari family wants to increase their power by annexing the small family, and the Aite family, which has fallen down, is the best choice. The Aite family was also a large family a few hundred years ago, but in the changes of the times, it has become more and more depressed, and now only a few well-located estates and a few small properties remain. This is also the reason why he, a fourth-class nobleman, can live opposite the estate of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The revenge of killing his parents has to be avenged, even if he is just an abandoned son adopted by the Aite family, but for so many years, they have really raised him as their own son, and they are cultivating him as the heir of the Aite family. But...... Before Andrew could grow up, and before he could inherit the family property and recreate the glory of his ancestors, his parents had been designed to leave...... Even he didn't want to let it go.

A crystal teardrop slipped quietly from the corner of Andrew's eye and hit the pillow silently, leaving a small dark tear trail.

The Arrow family is a thousand-year-old family with a long history and a complete heritage, and even after a long time, it has never declined. Because they have been secretly maintaining their position by annexing small and medium-sized forces. And this time it was finally Andrew's turn to belong to the Aite family......

But even so, so what, now Andrew is a defenseless little boy who has lost his parents, living like a lamb to be slaughtered, just to be led to be skinned and cut into meat, and then put in the pot. He has no power, no connections, no funds...... What is left of him now?

He...... Now a man who could not even guarantee the safety of his own life, let alone protect his family's property, began to laugh at his own incompetence. The corners of the mouth hooked a not too high arc, with a hint of reluctance. In an instant, helplessness, heartache, self-blame, guilt, regret..... It came like a tidal wave and enveloped him, so deep that it was about to suffocate. It was a huge cocoon that he had woven and struggled violently and frantically in the cocoon, but in vain, which only made the cocoon tighter and tighter. Then all oxygen is lost, suffocation.

Suddenly, just when he was on the verge of despair, Andrew remembered the words of His Highness Aglaia: "I can arrange your property for you and yourself, and you, you are responsible for being loyal to me." She came like an angel and gave him Andrew light and warmth. At this moment, his eyes moistened again.

"Loyal to me." "Loyal to me." "Loyal to me." ......

This sentence kept replaying in his mind, as if he had been obscured. Indeed, Her Royal Highness Princess Aglaia is the only way out for him now, and that delicate little girl is the best choice in every way. Whether it was the whim of Her Highness, or whether she had other plans...... He smiled self-deprecatingly, what could he make Her Royal Highness take a fancy to? What does Her Royal Highness the Princess want and what does not? As far as she is concerned, she is just a dispensable person, at most she can add a little fun to Her Royal Highness, but he can save his life and family property because of this.

But does he really just want to make himself a person who makes fun?

Or is he really just trying to be a slave to Her Royal Highness?

Or is he really just wanting that?

He wasn't intimidated by the idea of himself, perhaps, he wanted more.

His ambitions are even greater.

He understands that what he can't get is always in turmoil.

It's too easy to get, but it looks cheap.

So he had to let His Highness Aglaia see his worth!

He will let His Highness, not for fun, but because he is him, and accept him.
