Chapter 856: Obedience didn't mean lack of power

Getting along well with Maximus IV meant Aries had to put up with his habitual nonsense and schemes. Working and living with him gave Aries the chance to study Maximus. To be deeply truthful, Maximus wasn't so evil as a king. He wasn't kind, but he was exceptional and adept at what he was doing.
