Chapter 1006: Chapter 730: The Application of the Aden Dharma Seal
"Please don’t drive me out!"
Upon hearing Roger’s words, Emily’s tears flowed uncontrollably. She tried to stand tall, but her hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, looking at Roger with trepidation and fear.
"The journey was exhausting, and I want to rest a while longer." Roger shrugged helplessly, but Emily did not get up; instead, she shrank into the bed.
"I remember you do not belong to the Anglo family, so there’s no need for this."
Roger asked, somewhat puzzled.
The girl shook her head, "Not anymore." She bit her lip but did not explain the reason to Roger.
Roger sighed and did not ask further. The world seemed peaceful on the surface, but it was far from being a place of song and dance, peace, and happiness.
Laborers at the bottom struggled, seeing only a faint glimmer of light. For most people, being able to eat well, have warmth, and a cozy home was already the greatest pursuit.
Roger did not understand why Chloe was so anxious. Could it be that taking that strange potion caused his body to change, preventing him from having children?
If that was the reason, then she indeed would consider leaving the Anglo family’s only child with a bloodline before his awakening.
"Alright, put your clothes on and leave here."
A glimmer shone in his eyes; at this moment, he had to use some abilities. Emily was just an ordinary girl, unable to resist, and climbed out of bed in a daze.
As she reached the door, Roger suddenly thought of something and called out to her.
"Now that you belong to the Anglo family, do you wish to change your destiny?"
The devilish voice entered Emily’s ear; Roger didn’t use any abilities, yet for some reason, Emily’s heart raced.
The strange confusion surged in her heart, thinking of the evident changes lately in Roger, she turned around almost involuntarily.
"What... are you saying?"
"Do you want to change your destiny?"
Everything around seemed to disappear; in Emily’s world, only Roger’s eyes remained.
"Yes!"
Roger smiled broadly, "Go back and rest well; I’ll find you when the time is right."
Emily left the room, her emotions mixed with joy and worry. Soon, a soft sound came from outside the door, and after getting permission, Chloe walked in.
"I always thought you were fond of her."
"Where did you see that?" Roger couldn’t help but retort.
"Should I spell it out?"
Chloe’s lips curled slightly but quickly withdrew the smile.
"We left in a hurry, without bringing anything valuable. The sale of the manor’s assets will take some time. Next, I need to carry out a mission and head to the border."
"Lately things have not been peaceful there, so before heading to the border, we will pass through the Gramar Mountains and then take you to Poluo City..."
"I’ve sent letters in advance, asking someone to help buy a property there. Our funds are limited, and the environment there certainly can’t compare to the manor. Bear with it for the time being; once I’ve sold the assets, I’ll help you choose a suitable home."
Chloe spoke gently, her words firm yet undeniably considerate of Roger’s needs.
"Regarding Havier, I don’t think the matter is over yet; but as long as he can’t find you, he should have no means against me. During this time, try not to go outside; changing your name makes it easier to disguise."
"I think they won’t find you anytime soon. Give me some time; maybe I can earn enough merit at the border to restore the family’s honor."
Chloe instructed meticulously, word by word.
Roger’s mind conjured images of the geography around the border; the city Chloe mentioned was not close to the borderline, and its location was remote. Even if war broke out and the situation became irreparable, it shouldn’t quickly spread there.
The young girl was thorough in her considerations, indeed taking everything into account for her brother.
Although tempted to agree, to align with the persona of this body, Roger strived to appear unwilling to comply.
Until Chloe half-threatened, half-cajoled him for a while, Roger finally agreed "reluctantly."
He was already determined internally that as soon as Chloe left, he would set off for the border as well. novelbuddy-cσ๓
Regarding the housekeeper and guards, with his current abilities, controlling them was effortless.
Having occupied another’s brother’s body, coupled with Chloe’s consistent behavior, unless necessary, Roger did not want to manipulate her mind through coercion.
However, for others, he didn’t have such burdens.
"I feel my body has recovered pretty well. When will you assist me with the Awakening Ceremony?" Roger asked, probing.
After hesitating, Chloe replied, "Wait until we settle in the city, then we’ll assess your condition and decide."
Roger composed himself; it seemed the situation wasn’t as he suspected. Apparently, this convenient sister was merely overly concerned about her brother’s private life.
These damn nobles.
Roger looked down at his numb body.
Heaven helps the pitiful; what can be expected from a corpse?
Truthfully, he had a thousand ways to make this corpse appear perfectly normal in certain matters.
