Bab 145: To Ruin an Incompetent King II

Obviously, Aster knew who Gaum was referring to. But he kept pressuring him, "Why are you referring to me as the future queen?"

"Do you think I don't know that he proposed to you last night?" Gaum sneered, "I let him come to your room just to relieve his stupid daydream and then restore his previous self. He needs to lead as a king."

"I do not accept his advance at all," Aster replied.

"But you accepted his gardenia!" Gaum sulked, he leaned on the sofa and crossed his arm. He refused to look at Aster.

Aster observed Gaum's behavior, his golden circle glinted sharply. There was something off with this behavior, a weird feeling that alerted him to stay vigilant from Gaum as well.

'I cannot trust Gaum either, but this is the best way to do it. If he is truthful, I shall salvage him, but if he is not… I will let him rot with his brother.'
