[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Here comes that thing.

Aldrich had completely forgotten about the important matter that Alice had told him, and he didn't know that he couldn't delay any longer until she suddenly mentioned it.

But... do you really want to do it?

He looked up into Alice's eyes, those blue eyes were very beautiful, and there was his figure in them, because Alice was looking directly at him tenderly.

He can get many things in life at his fingertips, but with Alice, he can't always do what he wants.

So, let's do it, because he wants those eyes to see him forever, the eyes he wants from his family.

After thinking about it, he really wanted to express his support for her as Aldrich, so he said, "What is it about you? Do you have to tell Bill? You can tell me right now."

Alice was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to answer like this at all.

She lowered her head and frowned, because she didn't want to say the same thing twice to the same person at all, it would be troublesome.

Impatiently, she suddenly saw the anticipation in Aldrich's eyes from the corner of her eye.

Um?Why have expectations?Could it be...

She tried to say what she had said to Bill earlier about pretending to die unexpectedly. Aldrich pretended to think for a while, and then began to think automatically from her perspective, expressing his understanding of her feelings.

She moved her mouth to say a few more words, Aldridge struggled for a while, and then made up his mind to help her.

She knew she could succeed, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

and then?

She could fulfill her wish and fake her death, so what did her father think after hearing the news of her death?

The face of the person Alice had been avoiding to face suddenly appeared clearly in her mind.

He has the same blue eyes as hers, but he has a sharpness that she doesn't have.

Think back to what she could see of her father's emotional life: her father had no friends, no lover, no parents.

He has many relatives, but the only ones he regards as relatives are his children.

Her father's emotional world was frighteningly thin, like hers.

So before the two of them split, Qiqi only cried intensely for the departure of one person, and that was her mother.

So what was his reaction when he learned that she might die?

Is it as heartbreaking as when she learned that she was abandoned by him?

The tenderness on Alice's face gradually solidified, and even all the expressions on her face seemed to fade away, and finally she looked at Aldrich blankly with no expression on her face.

Aldrich was expecting her compliment, but he didn't know that he received this kind of reaction, so he inevitably reminded him nervously and cautiously: "Alice, are you unhappy?"

Alice shook her head slowly: "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm so happy. My father is finally going to feel my pain."

She spoke like this, but there was still no joy on her face. She stood there blankly, then suddenly turned and left, like a dead person without a soul, leaving only one sentence lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm a little bit sorry. It's comfortable, I want to take a rest," she remained in a trance for the next few days, not knowing whether she liked it or not.Even though Aldrich told her that everything had been resolved, Karl's emissary thought she was killed in the fire and hurried back to Karl to report the news, she still didn't respond much.

She doesn't cry, she doesn't laugh, she just goes into a daze and falls into her own spiritual world.

Aldrich finally realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly. Alice's treatment of being expelled by her father was obviously not just resentment. Get crazy.

Then if she knows that all of this is fake...

Aldrich knew what he did with the old King Karl back then, and with Alice's suspended animation, everything would be exposed soon, so he had to hurry up and try it out, so he asked one day: "Alice, before you know you're dead , King Karl has actually been inquiring about you and caring about you all the time. Have you ever thought that maybe your father loves you, but the way of love is different. He is a headache for your temper. It's been a long time, and I have no choice but to rely on..."

"Do you mean that he came to harm me because of his reasons?" Alice suddenly looked at him directly and asked.

Her tone was still emotionless, but her suddenly red eyes, and the heavy emotion in those eyes, made him suddenly feel a chill down his spine, feeling that she was living like a scary ghost.

Aldridge was speechless, but she opened her mouth to speak, and said to herself: "Yes, people have to find reasons from themselves. I have never been a good boy, and I don't have any good friends. There is no one who can control me. When I was a princess, I didn’t do any successful things. My homework was handled by my cleverness. I also have a bad temper, a poisonous mouth, and the men I attract are inexplicable Not a nice guy either..."

Aldridge: "..." Hey, let's not say this, it's too absolute, it's like pointing his nose and scolding.

"Bill...and I can be regarded as good people." Aldridge said awkwardly, "The type of men you attract is not that bad."

Alice didn't refute or agree, but just took a deep look at him, then skipped over and said, "I thought about it carefully, it's normal for my life to be ruined to such a degree after being hit by others. If war comes, A person like me who is only proficient in pleasure may be like the tragic characters in the history books, who can only accept all failures with powerlessness."

Aldrich was surprised that she could think of this suddenly, but also a little relieved, and said, "It's good that you can think of this..."

Alice changed the subject, and said, "But why didn't my father put me in the army for training like my younger brother? Why couldn't he treat me as an heir with strict requirements like my younger brother?"

Aldrich: "..." He couldn't answer those words.

Alice took a breath slowly, and suddenly said with a relaxed smile: "By the way, you don't know my brother, and you seldom hear about him. He is unlucky. My mother died early, but my father There was always a son, so he showed up one day.

I used to think he was very pitiful, you see, I couldn't accept his existence, my father didn't pay much attention to him, he didn't know who his mother was, and he lived a low-key life.

But, now I think he is a lucky unlucky guy. At least he has many friends and teachers around him, so he doesn't have to worry about his future.At least he... has always been able to hold his own future..."

Aldrich looked at the emptiness in Alice's eyes, felt distressed, and disagreed with what Alice said about not holding onto the future, he said: "You are not as miserable as you imagined, you can hold on to your future, as long as you……"

"Marry you?" Alice interrupted indifferently.

Aldridge was at a loss for words again, he really felt that way, and he didn't want to say that Alice could marry someone else even if she didn't marry him, so he could only shut up.

"Aldrich," Alice looked down at her fingers, which were curled up and trembling, "I am a person who seeks pleasure, but now, I feel more and more that pleasure is not so important. I I don’t know the meaning of my life anymore. Pleasure is only the superficial happiness of living, and there are many deeper happiness. As for me, I found that I have lost the ability to obtain those deep happiness.

You...you have done a great thing for me. I know you can't persist in doing this for a long time, but at least persist for a month. After one month, I will help you fulfill a wish. "

This promise was originally a very good thing for Aldrich, but Aldrich was inexplicably unhappy. On the contrary, his heart still flustered suddenly.

He searched carefully for the reasons for his panic, and thought that it might be because he had lied to Alice, and it might also be because Alice didn't love him.

He wanted Alice to be happy, and not to be so pessimistic when he was with him, so he tried hard to think about what is the deepest happiness in Alice's heart, and then said: "Don't think about who you marry, so you will definitely be difficult." Accept. You can think about what you can get from the resources you get.

What supports your brother to become the heir is the resources he can get, and what supports me to become the king is the resources I can get.Maybe you think it's unfair, but if I were you, I wouldn't look at how much others got, I would only look at how much I got, and then try to get more for myself.

Because of the sad thought that you have so little, that instead of multiplying, what you have may disappear, and you must try to hold on to what you can have. "

He tried to stand in Alice's shoes, judging everyone's possessions as dispassionately as possible, and then...

Then find something for Alice to do.

Alas, in Alice's state, the more she thinks about it, the more pessimistic she must be, and something will happen.

A person is prone to accidents if he feels that he has no satisfactory way out, so arrange some hope for her.

Aldridge is very skilled in this operation, he used to be very promising, and then watched others charge for him, and he was behind the scenes.

It's just that when I came to Alice, because I thought that this person was my wife, I forgot that she was alone, so not only did I not give her hope, but together with her father, I cut off her hope alive.

Wait, he seems to know where the problem is.

Aldrich's pupils shrank, and he looked at Alice suddenly, and found that Alice's thoughtful look after listening to his words was no longer such an indifferent dazed look. His throat moved, and he continued dryly. : "It doesn't matter if you don't love me. But I still hope you can marry me. I can guarantee that no one will threaten your status. You can use all the rights of the queen to do what you want."

This choice was suddenly placed in front of Alice, as if forcing her to choose immediately, she obviously hesitated immediately, resisted, and said hesitantly: "But..."

Aldrich quickly continued: "But can you do it well? You have the greatest right I can offer you, can you take advantage of it? What kind of life do you want to live?"

Alice looked at him slightly in shock.

Not only did Aldrich find something for Alice to do, but he also questioned Alice about whether she should do it or not, and suddenly questioned Alice's soul, making her entangled points instantly become something else, and those things No more conflicts with him.

These are some of his skills in dealing with personnel in the past. From the perspective of Alice as a human being with needs, he has designed the necessary steps.

After using it on Alice, he unexpectedly found that she was very useful.

It was nothing like the previous big failure where he had devised the techniques needed to produce a satisfied wife.

It turned out that treating Alice was not an extremely troublesome thing, but he had been going the wrong way all along.

The author has something to say: I think everyone has blind spots in knowledge. If you can see the blind spots and are willing to repent for them, it will be very difficult.

And the changes made for this are not called losing yourself, but improving yourself.

The princess will ascend, and so will the king.
