Chapter 1039 Ulterior Motives
No one knew that he actually had ulterior motives.
And that Cara's identity was a secret.
It was a secret that couldn't be revealed in this world.
After all, even if he believed that Cara did come from another planet and was not a monster, others would not believe it.
No matter what the purpose of the other party was, the moment Cara's secret was revealed, death was the only thing that would await her.
But, he would never allow this to happen to her.
Therefore, anyone who knew this secret, except for him, had to die.
Including the Empress' sister, whom Cara regarded as her friend.
But he knew that Cara would not get it, so he never mentioned it to her.
Now that he thought about it, if she had mentioned it a little earlier, would there be a different outcome?
However, how could there be so many 'ifs' in this world?
For example, back then, he had decided to take advantage of Cara to take over the world and seize power.
He didn't tell anyone about this plan, including Cara, who entered the palace for his sake.
At that time, he actually didn't think too much about it. Subconsciously, he thought that after he took over the regime, Cara naturally still belonged to him.
He would not hurt her. Just like in the beginning, she would live in his courtyard and wait for him to come back every day, accompanying her to water the flowers, cook with her, and talk to her.
She would be his only woman. From now on, they would no longer have any hindrances or enemies. As everything calmed down, the two of them could finally live together peacefully.
However, it was impossible to think the way he wanted, and it was impossible for everything to happen the way wanted.
Therefore, in the end, when the truth was exposed, the look in Cara's eyes was so disappointed and sad.
She had once said that he was the only person she cared about in this world.
It was precisely because she trusted him and didn't want him to get hurt that she was willing to give up her pride and enter the palace.
But what was the result?
She was deceived.
Even if there were thousands of reasons, it was a fact that he destroyed the country and slaughtered the royal family. She couldn't forgive him or face him anymore.
Therefore, in the end, when he was seriously injured and fell on the ground, she did not kill him. Instead, she inserted her chips into his body.
Then, she said, "I don't want you to die. I want you to live forever to redeem your sins."
But who could have known that, to him, living was actually worse than death.
Whenever it was late into the evening and he was left alone, he would recall memories of the past. He would feel as if his heart had been sliced apart by a knife, and as the cold wind blew through it, it made him feel the chills inside.
In that moment, he wondered if Cara was alright.
He thought he had lived for so long and had probably redeemed himself by now, so he wondered if Cara was willing to see him again.
As long as she was willing to see him again, he would flip the world to make it happen.
Stretching out his hand, he felt the breeze caressing his fingers, just like Cara's gentle kiss, and he seemed to hear her sweet voice ringing in his ears.
"Your honor, it's winter now. Look, it's snowing."
Upon hearing that, Coby curled his lips happily.
Clarissa woke up the next day, She was still in bed as she let out a sneeze.
Rubbing her nose, she wrapped herself in the blanket tightly, then asked, "Anderson, why is it so cold today? Is it raining?"
At this moment, Anderson was dressed in a gray nightgown, standing in front of the window.
The curtain was half-closed, revealing the light from outside. However, it was different from the hot sunshine that Clarissa was used to a few days ago. It seemed to be snowing outside as small snowflakes fell along with the wind.
At first glance, she was completely stunned.
Immediately, she sat up from the bed and climbed in the direction of the window.
"It's snowing? How could this happen?"
Subsequently, Anderson drew the curtains and walked over. Picking up her coat, he draped it over her shoulders.
"Yeah. I didn't expect it to snow in the desert either."
Clarissa frowned.
"It's winter in Ascijian now, but I thought that it should be hot all year round here."
"Not necessarily."
Anderson replied lightly, "I've heard before that they get two months of winter here too. During that time, the temperature will drop suddenly, and it would rain more. But it's the first time to see it snow."
Then, Clarissa got out of bed and got dressed. Walking to the window, she opened the curtains.
The snow outside was not too heavy. Compared to Flaucford, it was nothing at all.
But perhaps it was such a rare occasion here, even though the snow was so small, quite a few people below looked up at it as if they were watching a miracle, and some even cheered.
They were all servants in the castle. They grew up here, so they had probably never seen such a scene before.
Seeing that, Clarissa couldn't help but smile. She turned to Anderson and said, "Let's go down and take a look."
"Alright."
Because the weather was getting colder, both of them wore thicker clothes.
Anderson took a coat and a scarf and wrapped them around Clarissa tightly. If it wasn't for the fact that they were not going out of the house, he might have had to put a hat on her.
Surprisingly, Clarissa didn't lose her temper because of that. Instead, she just stood there and laughed.
After she was all dressed up, Anderson then led her downstairs.
Downstairs, Anne and Marf were already awake.
The kids were hungry early in the morning, especially little Marf. As boys were more active and playful, he got hungry quicker. Hence, he was already yelling that he wanted food early in the morning.
At this moment, Sierra just came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot chocolate in hand to feed him.
Seeing Clarissa and Anderson coming down, Marf waved at them happily and pointed at the cup of hot chocolate in front of him as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Mommy, it's so tasty."
Clarissa smiled and rubbed his little head. "You can drink more if it's tasty."
Then, Sierra smiled and said, "It's snowing outside today. I've been here for ten years, and this is the first time I've seen it. You can go out and take a look."
Robert, who was sitting beside Sierra, didn't go to the laboratory today too as he added. "Let alone you, I've been here for more than 30 years, and it's the first time for me to see it too."
As he spoke, he furrowed and sighed as he looked at the snowflakes drifting in the air.
"A strange phenomenon. Seems like something bad is about to happen."
Upon hearing this, Sierra glared at him.
"Don't talk nonsense. There is nothing bad about a change in the weather. Stop being superstitious. This is nothing but a normal weather change."
Watching them bicker, Clarissa didn't want to get involved, so she dragged Anderson out.
There was a thin layer of ice on the ground outside the house. It was obvious that it had been snowing all night.
