Raise Joan of Arc to be an empress, then discard her.

The vast majority of things in this world are within the scope of the knowledge of the Book of Omniscience, and for many years, the Book of Omniscience has been able to explore almost everything except matters related to God.

The mystery cannot be explored to a higher level of mystery; this is a divine law.

What exactly happened back then?

Despite Joan of Arc's best efforts to cover up Aaron's survival and her years of investigation, opinions on the conclusions and possibilities remain divided.

The most likely, and most widely accepted, conclusion is that when the war began, the third seat of the Obsidian Knights escaped from Asgard and disappeared without a trace.

This idea was also accepted by some historians, but Joan of Arc found their method of arriving at this conclusion amusing, because they were somewhat reversing cause and effect, drawing a target for an archery exercise.

Their key argument for reaching this conclusion is that Joan of Arc, even now, is unwilling to include Aaron in the ranks of heroes; while countless knightly orders, such as the Obsidian Knights, the White Knights, and the Omniscient Knights, have monuments, Aaron has no statue, no portrait, and his name has never appeared on the list of fallen heroes.

The Queen possesses the Book of Omniscience, and it is well known that the Queen is infallible. She must have had her reasons for doing this. Therefore, they speculate that the Queen did this because he fled during the war and was not worthy of being called a hero. Moreover, because he once held a high position in the Obsidian Knights, the Queen Lusset did not want to erase the contributions of the Obsidian Knights for him. So she used the most inconspicuous method to erase him.

Indeed, some members of the three knightly orders deserted at the start of the war. After the war was won, the Empress adopted the same approach of letting them go without holding them accountable, but she also did not allow them to become martyrs. This became a consensus, so they naturally assumed that this was also Aaron's situation.

But after becoming empress and experiencing so much, the imperial princess was no longer someone who believed in so-called sixth sense. Many people commented that she was too cold-blooded and too calm. This was also the general opinion of most people regarding Lusset, the ruler who possessed the Book of Omniscience. This assessment was not wrong; rational logic was the only principle guiding her actions.

Therefore, over the years she has been searching for evidence, even pathologically, and finally found the decisive evidence: the teacher's corpse.

Prior to this, a powerful gang specializing in smuggling had unearthed something extraordinary during the treasure hunt at war relics, and sold it abroad at an extremely high price, thus smuggling goods from the Lusset Empire overseas.

According to the Ninth Bureau's investigation, what they obtained was a powerful corpse.

Upon receiving the information, Joan of Arc dispatched the Ninth Inquisition, initiating the most intense manhunt in Lucerne's history.

Although the powerful smuggling group has now been brought to justice and died before Joan of Arc, their magnificent corpse still ended up in the distant Kingdom of Dock. This was the smuggling group's initial destination. Although the Lusset Empire was powerful, it was too far removed from the almost isolated Kingdom of Dock to exert its influence. In this world, perhaps only the Kingdom of Dock was outside the jurisdiction of the Lusset Empire and Queen Lusset, making it beyond the reach of the Lusset Empire.

Furthermore, they found a mysterious buyer in the Kingdom of Dok. This buyer was extremely powerful and mysterious, even related to the gods, which is why she was so difficult to find any trace of.

But Queen Lusette was clearly not going to give up the hunt over such a small matter, so she dispatched the Ninth Bureau, which was arguably the world's largest infiltration team, to infiltrate the Kingdom of Dok, vowing to retrieve the body.

Then her spy team was wiped out in Birmingham, a small town where no powerful forces should have existed.

She then lost contact with the spy team. Then, as if by some strange twist of fate, Eclair appeared and met Aaron at the government building, which led to the Government Building Incident that caused a huge uproar in the Kingdom of Dok.

Finally, she learned that the corpse was Aaron's body.

Therefore, Joan of Arc could conclude that Aaron did indeed experience a resurrection, but why was he resurrected?

It should be understood that resurrection has always been the privilege of God.

At the same time, because of her resurrection, she became a completely ordinary person during this period, thus having a continuous period of vacancy. It was during this period that a woman took advantage of the situation, which was entirely within Joan of Arc's expectations, since she had also taken advantage of the situation in the past.

Fortunately, they were only engaged, and Aaron didn't seem to have much lingering affection for the girl. As long as another rival like Aurelia didn't appear, there wouldn't be any threat to Joan of Arc. Unrequited love could gradually change after marriage. Joan of Arc now fully believed in her own charm and couldn't possibly lose to a little girl.

After a long and meticulous analysis, Xia Zhende still couldn't be certain, but she had a general understanding of the situation.

Once the cloak of rationality was shed, Joan of Arc's inner emotions naturally surfaced, and the jealousy that had already been intense back then arose even more strongly.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Joan of Arc was an extremely jealous girl who loved to be jealous. It was just that when she was young, her strength was too weak and the disparity in strength between her and her opponents was too great, so she never showed it. But enduring does not mean not wanting it. Moreover, now that she can do almost whatever she wants, there is no reason for her to continue to endure it.

In other words, after enduring so many years, shouldn't there be some reward?

Moreover, after all these years, her man was with another woman. Even if she was the most magnanimous person, she should still feel a little uncomfortable. However, she was not someone who would be overwhelmed by emotions. After hesitating again and again, she smiled gently and thought, "Oh well, it's all over now. As the victor, I don't need to rush."

Of course, while she thought this way, she decided to discuss the issue with them later, when they were more familiar with each other and there was less of a barrier between them. She believed that by then, Joan of Arc would receive a satisfactory answer.

Before she knew it, perhaps because she had been thinking too much, or perhaps because she had experienced too much today, Joan of Arc, who had never felt sleepy even after three days and three nights without sleep, finally began to feel sleepy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Joan of Arc stood up, turned off the lights on the second floor, and then used her powerful spiritual control to conceal all her aura, silently arriving at the door of the room on the first floor.

In the room, Aaron seemed to be fast asleep; at least Joan of Arc did not find any sign that he was still awake.

This is a good opportunity.

Joan of Arc placed her hand on the doorknob, turned it silently, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

As she walked, the blonde empress gently shook her head, revealing a somewhat helpless smile.

On the bed, the teacher was indeed fast asleep. The blanket was pulled up to below her neck. She was lying on her side with her mouth slightly open, and her sleeping posture was quite charming.

Joan of Arc silently approached her teacher and placed his hand back under the covers.

So this is what it feels like to cover someone who is fast asleep. Therefore, when Jeanne first came to Esgard as a child, she was very uncomfortable and would occasionally have nightmares at night. Her teacher often worked late into the night, so according to him, he often covered her with a blanket in the middle of the night, which was quite a lot of trouble for him.

Unexpectedly, the roles have been reversed, and now it's Joan of Arc doing this for her teacher.

Oh well, there will be many more role reversals like this in the future.

And Aaron, lying in bed,

Despite his best efforts to control his body, he still felt a stiffness.

He naturally wasn't asleep, and naturally sensed that someone had entered the room.

Yes, if he couldn't even sense someone entering his room, then he hadn't changed bodies in the first place. However, she quickly realized that it was Joan of Arc who had entered her room.

No sleep for one night.

"..."

When Aaron opened his eyes again, he saw a ceiling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

It took Aaron about half a second to realize that this was his own ceiling.

This reminded him of the ceiling in his own home many years ago, but this wasn't the ceiling of his room, but rather the ceiling of his study.

In other words, his location had changed without his knowledge.

"Good morning, teacher." At the same time, a voice that felt both familiar and unfamiliar rang in my ears.

"Because the teacher is sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to disturb her." The familiar voice rang out again.

"So you brought me to the study?" Aaron said, sitting up and yawning.

"Yes, teacher, would you like a cup of black tea, coffee, or milk? I'll make it for you."

Aaron slowly turned his head and saw the Queen dressed in casual clothes. She had long golden hair and her appearance was still as stunning as in the newspapers and posters. She had obviously woken up much earlier than Aaron and had already changed her clothes and taken a bath, so she had a special fragrance.

"I'm sorry, but I still have a lot of political affairs to attend to. Although I asked them to move my business to the study, I was worried about not having my teacher by my side, so I invited my teacher to the study. I hope my teacher doesn't mind?"

Although she was asking questions, Joan of Arc clearly showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Nothing's wrong, but the fact that I couldn't feel anyone moving me at all is really..."

"How are you feeling?" Jeanne asked with a smile as she approached Aaron. "After all, the difference in strength between you and me is quite significant. So, you can think of yourself as the person you used to be, and I can be the person you used to be—the roles are reversed."

"........."

Aaron thought to himself, "The reason you didn't notice I was awake is because of my control over my spiritual power, but never mind..."

Upon seeing Joan of Arc, Aaron's expression became slightly complicated for a moment. After all, he also had something on his mind, and after waking up, he was faced with the Emperor's gentle care, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

"You can continue with your official duties. I can take care of myself and have breakfast by myself," Aaron said after giving a brief greeting.

"Oh, about that, I was wondering if you'd like to eat breakfast in the Kingdom of Doc, but then I think that if you come back, you should definitely eat breakfast in Lucette, after all, your teacher is from Lucette."

"So we've prepared breakfast, and I haven't eaten yet. Now that we can take a break from work, let's eat together."

"Is it really necessary to wait until this time?"

Joan of Arc shook her head, then smiled with genuine joy and said, "Having breakfast with my teacher has been my wish for many years, and it is one of the happiest things in the world, so please be sure to let me have breakfast with you."

Is that so?

Just like many years ago, Joan of Arc had Aaron sit on the sofa in the study. He saw that the table was indeed filled with exquisite breakfasts, which were even more lavish and refined than the breakfasts Aaron had seen at the royal meeting place. He had always heard that the palace in Lucerne had the best royal chefs in the world, and now it seemed that Joan of Arc's chefs were indeed like that.

“I had the royal chefs prepare this specially, and the taste should suit my teacher’s palate,” Joan of Arc said.

really.

Joan of Arc sat down opposite Aaron, gently picked up a piece of bread, and put it in her mouth. As expected of Empress Lucerne, she remained elegant even while eating.

Chapter 239 Premarital Discussion

Aaron leaned back on the sofa, holding a cup of black tea in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other, enjoying the quiet time alone. Just then, he heard a sentence that made his expression freeze.

"Teacher, we should talk a little about the wedding arrangements in a week."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Aaron coughed up all the tea he had drunk, and after confirming several times that he hadn't misheard, he looked at Joan of Arc: "Wait... are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. I've already had the invitations prepared."

"Wait... I don't think that's the problem... Is it really okay to reveal my identity now?"

This is what Aaron is truly worried about. He still carries too many secrets and doesn't understand many things. Therefore, he follows his instincts and hopes to continue operating safely in the shadows. This is a habit Aaron developed when he was weak.

However, he forgot to consider Joan of Arc's state of mind; in Joan of Arc's eyes, these words had a completely different meaning.

"Does the teacher have a reason not to let others know?" Joan smiled at Aaron. "It's understandable. After all, before coming to Lucerne, the teacher was wearing another engagement ring on her finger, which was a gift from the royal family of the Kingdom of Yudok. It's understandable that she didn't want to wear another ring so soon."

"Teacher, it's okay. You can continue to hide your identity. I know your concerns."

"I'm glad you understand."

"But the wedding date has already been set and cannot be changed."

"Wait... I think we shouldn't say this lightly... Right now, it's hard to say that I'm a positive beneficiary for Lucret, but you suddenly get married to someone of unknown origin in front of the world. What will the outside world's reaction be, and what will happen next?"

“Well… I think we can discuss this later. Think about it… I’m not going to run away, and no one knows I’m here. At most, they might find your behavior a little suspicious. We can live a quiet life for a while first, and then talk about these things when the time is right.”

Aaron's eyes flickered, his mind racing as he tried to persuade Joan of Arc.

"But I think that after our wedding, we can live a quiet life, and even be happier. Don't you think that's good?"

"That's not the point... Joan of Arc, you know you're being sophistical..."

Aaron felt that his words were quite advantageous. For the queen of a country, those interests did not need to be pointed out. She should understand them as soon as they were mentioned. In fact, the queen should understand the key points even better. However, the reality that came into view gave Aaron an ominous premonition.

"..."

Since Aaron began speaking, Joan of Arc had remained silent and had not continued eating her breakfast. She listened quietly, her expression initially normal and calm. However, when Aaron uttered a certain sentence, she seemed to have discovered something in the shadows, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, looking quite terrifying.

Then, the calm expression on her face gradually faded, and she became thoughtful.

After Aaron finished speaking, the room fell silent again. She didn't respond immediately, but instead gazed at him.

“Come to think of it… teacher, you’ve never said anything like that before, that you’re so kind to me,” Joan of Arc said.

Aaron was taken aback, then suddenly felt a surge of joy. Indeed, when he was educating Joan of Arc, he was quite different from many immature parents in Lucretia who constantly used the phrase "it's for your own good." He was an experiential educator who firmly believed that people need to learn on their own. Therefore, what he did most often was take Joan of Arc to experience all sorts of things. By all accounts, he was a very open-minded parent, and Joan of Arc had grown up under his guardianship, so she should also be very open-minded...

"But I'm not the kind of enlightened leader. You can tell from my rule over the empire, Teacher. I know my ministers criticize me in private. I'm tyrannical and autocratic. You taught me that word. Do you know what it means?"
