Chapter 468 A Question From Jane
"I just want to sit here. If you mind, I'll move," Jane replied calmly, immediately giving an answer where if Arthur asked again, she would just have to move to stop being asked.
Unfortunately, in Arthur's eyes this was a childish method. He didn't care if she moved.
Calmly, he said, "Maybe you have certain thoughts, like hoping to get revenge or something, but you need to know that it's impossible. In fact, I've planted magic in your body so that you won't be able to do anything bad to me or those close to me."
Arthur chose to say that so that she would know and be mentally shaken so that she would despair, stop thinking about something strange, and then choose to forget everything.
Jane's complexion turned slightly pale when she heard that. Her eyes stared at her body as if she wanted to observe if there really was something.
Arthur smiled faintly as he made her feel his long-hidden magic inside her body.
When she felt that, Jane's skin became even paler. Even her hands seemed to be trembling.
"Maybe you should ask the people, just the people here, if they are happy with the destruction of your family?" He said, without hesitation hitting her mentally again.
"Your family is lucky to have so much power, but they just want to get more and more without caring about other people's situations. Who knows how many good people they have eliminated just because they harmed them a little.
"Will they stop because they are asked to stop? No, they just consider people who ask them to stop to be enemies that must be destroyed.
"I don't know how you think about your own family, but maybe you'll act like them in a few years."
Hearing all that, Jane could only press her lips together. Not only did she turn pale, her gaze even became blank.
Arthur continued to stare into her eyes and added, "You seem to have lost your purpose in life. Could it be that you now think that dying following your family is better?"
"I want to sit here, but I don't want you to keep saying that nonsense," Jane replied in a trembling voice.
Fortunately she wasn't crying, so she still looked pretty and presentable.
Arthur just smiled at the sight of her now. He took a few breaths to calm down.
Right after that, a student suddenly approached Arthur's desk.
He looked expressionless, and Arthur could sense that he had good fighting skills.
According to his hunch, the man was an agent.
Apparently he placed a piece of paper on Arthur's desk. After that, he left without saying anything.
There was writing on the paper.
(Meet me in the backyard! From Catalina!)
It was just a short note.
Jane could read it, but she didn't seem to care at all.
In fact, she knew the princess well, as both came from elite families.
However, even the princess had to act politely in front of her because her family was more powerful than hers.
On the other hand, Arthur waved his hand at the paper, sending it flying into the trash. He didn't move from his chair to meet it.
"Aren't you going to see her?" Jane couldn't help but ask.
"I know, you're the mysterious prince who became her fiancé. Others don't know your family background, but I know it well."
Suddenly hearing her speak, Arthur looked at her strangely.
Then, he shook his head.
"Why do I have to see her? If she is a good woman, she should be the one to meet me," he said.
"That's difficult, her identity will make a fuss. To be honest, I've heard her say that she'll accept a man arranged by her family as long as he meets her standards. I don't think she's rejecting you at all."
Apparently, Jane was still talking.
She was not interested in Catalina, but she wanted to see Arthur's response. Perhaps it was to calm her troubled mind.
"Why are you interested in talking about relationships?" asked Arthur in response, giving her a strange look.
Oddly enough the question seemed to bother Jane, though it was in a different way than when Arthur talked about her family.
"Yeah, after all, you're still just a young girl," Arthur added without waiting for her to answer.
"It's just that, if you're attracted to me, you'll probably continue to experience inner turmoil."
Jane, "..."
"Who do you call being attracted to you?" asked the woman with eyes that seemed to widen.
Apparently what Arthur had said had left her in a state of shock.
"To me this is normal," Arthur replied. "There is no shortage of women who used to be my enemies and then liked me as the opposite sex. You see that Japanese princess, she's one of them. Women are sometimes enamored with a man who can make them unable to do anything. It wouldn't be surprising if you were like that too. Maybe that's why you came to my side."
Jane's pair of red lips parted slightly while her eyes seemed to freeze slightly. Then, she gazed in the other direction, it was obvious that she was really bothered by what Arthur had said.
It was just disturbed in a different way.
Perhaps now her heart was beating slightly.
At the same time, the previous agent came again, putting a new paper in front of Arthur.
This at least reduced the chaos of Jane's mind.
As before, there was writing on the paper.
(Why didn't you come? How about sending me a message. This is my phone number [62846267272])
Apparently, there was a phone number on the paper.
It seemed that the princess was annoyed that her fiancé wasn't coming to her.
Jane's eyes glanced at Arthur strangely, wanting to see his response now.
Of course, it was still the same. Arthur threw the paper into the trash can.
"You give the impression like you're against women, but as far as I can see, there are tons of women around you. I know, this is your way of attracting women, pretending as if you don't care about them. If I really don't care, you shouldn't let a single woman get close to you," Jane said.
It seemed that she wanted to satirize Arthur a little. However, the latter shook his head.
"I'm not anti-woman, and I'd rather be surrounded by women than men," he replied.
He honestly spoke his mind because that was the reality.
Jane of course couldn't say anything because he said it.
Fortunately right after that, the class lecturer finally came, an old man with a rather fat body, having a neat mustache.
His body was indeed full of fat, but he looked very authoritative.
It was said that all the lecturers of the law department in this university also worked as lawyers.
One could not be arrogant to them as their money was far above average.
The lecturer observed the students while placing the book he was carrying on the table.
His gaze was longer on Arthur, but he didn't seem to care who Arthur was.
Maybe he knew his background, but he didn't think much of it.
"We didn't learn soon enough," he said, sitting at a table instead of a chair.
His fingers moved, tapping the table a few times as he continued, "today, I'm just going to introduce you to the law. Yeah, maybe it's still called studying, but something relaxing."
Surprisingly enough, right after the lecturer said that, Jane suddenly stood up while raising her hand, indicating that she wanted to ask a question.
"What's wrong?" the lecturer asked her.
"Someone who is so powerful that he can change the laws of a country at will is hurting the poor people of that country. How can that poor person get justice?" Jane replied, instantly freezing the whole class.
Of course, the answer to that question was obvious, just report it to the police, and the police would take care of everything, taking the evil ruler to jail.
Unfortunately, that was just a theory from a fairy tale. How could it be so easy.
Because the people in this class had above-average intelligence, so they knew that what Jane's question meant was how to get justice from this unjust world.
People with Law Professors Degrees might not have a definitive answer.
Actually, Arthur wasn't sure what Jane's purpose was in asking that.
Was she asking about how she could get justice because Arthur had slaughtered her family? Or instead, was she asking for the common people who had been oppressed by his family?
Given that his family was already destroyed, the latter was probably a rather stupid question.
Of course, the former is also stupid.
Does she want to pursue justice through the law?
For now, people are more curious about the lecturer's answer.
Some wanted to laugh when they saw his reaction.
The man stood up, then walked to the blackboard.
Unfortunately, he still seemed to be thinking as he arrived in front of the board.
After a while, he wrote one word, (power!)
"Right, power has the biggest role in law," he said.
