บท 208: Deceived

I wanted to talk to Aaron and directly asked him who was the next person he handed the royal seal to. I was informed that he was so scared and couldn't say a single word to anyone, even to Kyle.

I felt guilty for what I had done. Aaron was the first person I thought of when I talked to Kyle about having a secret heir, but I changed my mind when I couldn't find him. If I didn't bump into him that day, I planned to give Benjamin the seal.

Funny. Maybe deep inside my head, I knew all along that Benjamin was a lying bastard. That's why I still ended up giving the royal seal to Aaron.

Aaron was just a young man working in the palace as a historian. I met him once in the royal archives and became my friend. I know he was honest and kind. I also know that his loyalty lies in the royal family.

Whoever Aaron chose, I know he was the right person to pass the order to the next one. I sighed while looking at the blue sky.
