AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 18

Ruan Tang was extremely surprised, completely unexpected that the legendary Duke, known for his capriciousness and cruelty, would make such a compromise for him.

In this dark Duke’s mansion, he hadn’t seen the sun for many days.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Ruan Tang’s mood suddenly became bright and refreshing, instantly forgetting all his worries from yesterday.

He even ate more for breakfast.

After breakfast, looking at the brilliant sunshine outside the window, Ruan Tang suddenly had the urge to go out for a walk.

The Auston Duke’s mansion under the sunlight dispelled the previous gloomy and eerie feeling. Ruan Tang walked around, looking at everything, and felt that every place was a beautiful scene.

He finally truly appreciated how magnificent and splendid the mansion of Duke Auston, the most openly favored son of the Emperor and Empress, was.

If someone wasn’t leading the way, Ruan Tang felt that he would definitely not be able to find his way back.

…

Meanwhile, Duke Auston, who had suddenly changed his habits of many years for Ruan Tang, was in his study dealing with work…

Having long been accustomed to the darkness, he raised his eyes during a break from work and glanced at the golden sunlight outside the window, finding it dazzling and somewhat difficult to adapt to.

Tsk, Omegas are really troublesome and difficult to raise…

Such dazzling sunlight, and he was already feeling depressed, really a lot of trouble.

If it weren’t for seeing him so depressed, fearing he would die of depression, Auston wouldn’t have wanted to see the sunlight. But now that he had decided to raise him for the fragrance and feel of this Omega, Auston vowed in his heart that he must raise him well, to the best he could.

Auston was afraid that Ruan Tang would get depression.

Therefore, Duke Auston, who had long been accustomed to the darkness, decided to force himself to adapt to the sunlight for his delicate and difficult-to-raise pet…

After all, he just didn’t like the sunlight, but that Omega seemed to be unable to live without it.

He wondered if the depressed Omega from yesterday would be happy today after seeing the sunlight?

Thinking of Ruan Tang, Auston’s lips immediately curled into a slight arc, and he suddenly wanted to get up and see that Omega.

See if Ruan Tang, with the sunlight, would be happy, like many precious plants blooming in his mansion.

Just then, a knock suddenly sounded at the door: “Knock, knock.”

“Your Grace, Duke Carlos has arrived,” Aaron reported respectfully.

Auston frowned slightly but still chose to abandon his leisure: “Let him in.”

“Yes.” Aaron closed the door and retreated. After a while, he led a middle-aged nobleman with a kind and honest appearance into the room, standing aside respectfully and opening the door for him.

This middle-aged man was none other than Duke Carlos, one of the seven great dukes of the Empire’s nobility circle, and also one of the most highly regarded figures on Imperial Star with the best relationship with Auston.

He was the Empress’s half-brother and also Duke Auston’s maternal uncle.

Because he was born out of wedlock, Carlos’s title was not inherited from the Empress’s father, but earned through his own merits, a real figure who stirred up storms.

He looked kind and approachable, like a kind neighborly uncle, but he was a ruthless and poisonous character.

Due to their half-sibling relationship, Duke Carlos and the Empress had a poor relationship, but he had always been very fond of Duke Auston, his nephew.

For Auston, the relationship between this uncle and him was far closer than that of his own parents.

As soon as he entered the door, Aaron immediately retreated, closed the door, and left the space for the nephew and uncle to be alone.

“Uncle, was this trip to the planet Colombo successful?” Auston asked directly.

Duke Carlos looked at Auston with a benevolent face and smiled, “…Returning to Your Highness, everything went very smoothly, just as we expected.”

Auston nodded languidly, tapping the table with his bored index finger.

The two talked freely about various confidential matters.

Carlos looked at the sunlight outside Auston’s window and suddenly said, “I haven’t been away for long, but the changes here in Your Highness’s place seem to be quite significant during this time?”

“It’s nothing, just been in the dark for too long…” Auston was listless, just looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and casually said, “Always need to see the sunlight occasionally…”

He didn’t want to explain too much about the reason he suddenly restored the natural climate of the mansion.

Duke Carlos was not a person who pried into the details, and upon hearing this, he immediately stopped dwelling on the sunlight and asked instead, “…I heard that Your Highness almost dealt with Andrew yesterday, digging out his eyes?”

Auston gently turned the pen in his hand, and when he remembered what Carlos was talking about, he nodded lightly: “Since he has become someone else’s dog, and is trying so hard to stay by my side for the sake of his master, naturally he must bear the price of staying by my side…”

Whether the price was mental torment or physical, Auston felt that these spies should bear it.

“Since Your Highness doesn’t like them, why not just send them all away and continue to keep these eyesores around?” Carlos didn’t quite understand his nephew.

Auston has always been well aware of how many spies there are in the Duke’s mansion and whose spies they are.

As one of the seven great dukes, he could completely send them away, but Auston had never done so, instead keeping these internal agents of others by his side.

“Send them away? Why should I send them all away?” Auston leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said mockingly, “If I send them away, those people will still try to stuff new people in to monitor me. Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for them?”

Carlos immediately said, “As long as Your Highness wishes, you can completely make the entire mansion airtight, so that others can no longer place people around you.”

Although Auston was fine as he was now, as a suspicious superior, Carlos still felt that it would be best for Auston to clear out all the people of others around him and leave only those he trusted.

“That would be too boring.” Auston’s eyes suddenly became unfathomable, and he said with great interest, “If I replace them all with my own people, then who would have nothing to do and give me a performance of gouging out their own eyeballs, destroying their own faces, and crippling themselves?”

The reason why he didn’t clean up these spies was never because he couldn’t, but because he didn’t want to.

Auston was a madman, but he was also a rational and sober madman who knew where the legal boundaries were. If he replaced these people, who else would mutilate themselves in order to stay by his side?

Then who else could he torture?

Auston only felt extremely excited when he thought of these people being extremely afraid of him, but having to endure him, having to mutilate themselves in front of him in order to stay, and pretending to be willing to do so even though they were in pain.

Carlos frowned deeply, wanting to teach Auston a lesson, but he didn’t know where to start.

“Besides, Uncle, don’t you think it’s interesting that these people are ordered to come to my side to monitor me and inquire about my news… but I use them to pass the messages I want to convey to their masters?” Auston mischievously raised the corners of his mouth, full of interest.

He was crazy, but he was never stupid…

Carlos was really speechless and couldn’t understand his nephew’s perverted hobby, but seeing that Auston was always sober and didn’t seem to be monitored, he didn’t say anything more about it: “As long as Your Highness is happy.”

“Happy, of course I’m happy. With so many people playing with me every day, of course I’m happy…” Auston gently stroked the rim of the cup.

Carlos looked at Auston’s bright and clean office, which had swept away the haze, and suddenly said, “It’s good to bask in the sun more… I was delayed for a long time on this trip, and I didn’t expect that Your Highness would agree to marry. I missed Your Highness’s wedding banquet and haven’t congratulated Your Highness on your marriage…”

“I just don’t know, what are Your Highness’s plans in your heart?” He was asking about Auston’s plans for the Empress’s scheming.

When Auston heard him mention the Empress, the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a mocking smile: “I will never let those who make me unhappy have a good time. I will never let my good mother get her way…”

“She wants me to have a child for her to use as a puppet, to fulfill her dreams and repeat my mistakes, she can forget about it.”

The reason he initially agreed to marry was just to make the Empress full of hope, thinking that she could control him in the future, and then suddenly shatter her hopes and leave her with nothing.

“…Then, do you need me to do something about that Omega sent by the Empress?” Carlos immediately understood Auston’s meaning, and seeing that he was unwilling to follow the path arranged by the Empress, he immediately suggested.

Although Ruan Tang was just a fertility tool and not worth mentioning, he was now Auston’s partner in name and legal terms, and he was different from those servants after all…

In Carlos’s eyes, staying by his side was dangerous after all.

Based on Ruan Tang’s current status alone, Carlos felt that the Empress could make countless moves.

It would be better for them to strike first and do something to Ruan Tang, so that the Empress’s wishful thinking would be completely shattered without hurting Ruan Tang’s life…

For example, making this carefully selected fertility tool completely infertile.

“No need, don’t touch him.” When Auston heard him mention Ruan Tang, he immediately frowned deeply, knowing how ruthless and dark his uncle was, and immediately strictly ordered, “He… I have my own plans, don’t interfere in his affairs.”

He could see that Ruan Tang was different from those people with ulterior motives who were sent to his side. His eyes were very clean and clear.

Therefore, Auston didn’t want to touch him and wanted to take good care of him…

Carlos glanced at Auston in surprise, not expecting his reaction to be so strong, but he still obediently responded, “Yes, Your Highness.”
