Alpha Reborn!

Chapter 121 121: Aiden's Decision

?

From that moment on, Aiden had become determined to become stronger, to be able to protect himself and those he loved. He had withdrawn from being His Highness's study companion and, with the help of his father, enlisted in the army.

The army was a major part of the Dark Tower that ruled the Sun Moon Empire, and in the army, life was different from the ordinary lives of the citizens. In the army, one could undergo the soul plate awakening ceremony at any age if they were willing, despite the risks involved!

Aiden's luck had been on his side, and he had successfully awakened his soul plate without any mental or physical disabilities when he was 8. 

It was something to be celebrated, but from that point on, his downfall had begun. 

After awakening his soul plate, he fell from grace and was quickly forgotten.

Evan had only heard Aiden's name being mentioned a few times in the past.

His name was spoken in the same breath as the trashiest young masters of the imperial clans with dim future aspects. 

"Yeah, you guessed right. I am indeed Aiden."

Aiden's lips lifted at the corners, curving into a subtle smile. The movement was almost imperceptible, yet it brought a certain warmth to his face and a sparkle to his eyes as if he was savoring a private thought or relishing a pleasant memory.

"It had been so long since we last met. I wasn't sure if you'd recognize me, but it looks like you haven't forgotten your old friend after all."

"It's hard not to when you're the only person I know who have features like that." 

Evan wasn't kidding.

With his chiseled facial features, black locks, and icy blues, he was like a black rose blossoming on a snowy mountaintop and bathing under the light of the moon.

He was extremely attracted, but his attractiveness paled in comparison to Aiden, who was more like the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, his amber eyes and white hair perfectly complementing his handsome appearance, tempting all of humanity to take a bite.

Aiden's unique features were fit for television or, even better, the modeling industry. He had what it took to make it big - the looks, the charm, and the background. He had the potential to achieve what many could only dream of - a legion of fans across the Black Eye Galaxy.

Unfortunately, he chose to join the army and was forgotten after his fall from grace.

Hardly anyone paid any attention to him, although he was the youngest young master of the Frost Blood Household.

Thus, there wasn't a picture of him on the internet.

Evan scrutinized the teen with narrowed eyes and uttered,

"I didn't expect to chance upon you during the inheritance war. The workings of fate are indeed mysterious. Look at how it brought us together." 

Evan was being friendly because he believed that Aiden had no ill intentions towards him. 

After all, if Aiden had been aiming for his life like the hounds of the Frostweavers, he wouldn't have come to Evan's aid when he was besieged by the Triplers. Instead, he would have joined the Triplers in an attempt to kill him.

It's worth noting that Evan is the most menacing figure in the interdimensional war, with the highest chance of winning.

As a result, many wants to eliminate him.

Aiden returned Evan's gaze unflinchingly and responded with a polite tone, "If you have something to ask of me, please don't hesitate Your Highness. I will provide an answer to your questions unhesitatingly."

"I was told that you were in seclusion, trying to break through to the Soul Fusion realm. The allure of the inheritance war may be strong, but how can it possibly deter you from taking the crucial step that you've been striving towards for a whole decade?"

They both know that if a descendant of the Imperial Frost Clan manages to reach the Soul Fusion Realm, their status will be promoted to Core Disciple. 

Although Core Disciples are ranked one level above Outer Disciples, they are still inferior to Seeded Disciples. Nonetheless, they are viewed as the clan's future and are granted numerous privileges, including exclusive teachings and guidance from clan elders, as well as access to abundant resources.

Had Aiden taken that crucial step, he too would have ascended to the coveted rank of a Core Disciple.

"So I want to ask you, why exactly are you here?"

Aiden didn't appear to be vying for the Crown Prince title, as he had the opportunity to strike Evan down but didn't. The only other advantage he could gain from the inheritance battle was to secure a spot as a seeded disciple. 

The top 150 participants would earn that distinction, but if that was his aim, he had already accomplished it. So, why was he still competing in the inheritance war?

The situation was perplexing, and it was no wonder that Evan was intrigued.

"I came here because of you."

Aiden's response was straightforward.

Hearing his words, Evan raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Me? What do you mean?"

eaglesnov?1,?o? Aiden gave him a serious look and explained,

"I am here because I've been tasked with assisting you in winning the inheritance war and emerging victorious," Aiden said.

Evan furrowed his brows in confusion.

"The Frost Blood Household has always maintained a neutral position in the clan's political affairs, staying aloof. So, what brought about this sudden change in their stance?" Evan spoke after a moment.

"Countless folks out there want to bring you down, but there are others who'd much rather see you as the Crown Prince of Frost than a dog adopted by the Frostweavers. I can't vouch for the entire Frost Blood Household, but my sister and I are on your side. Me being here to help you is the best proof of that. I hope you won't take my words for empty farts."

Aiden expressed, laying his heart open.
