"My greatest ambition?" Ethan scratched his chin.
Honestly, he didn't know how to answer that.
To become a great emperor?
To unify the Eternal Forest under his banner?
To make his father acknowledge his talent?
To return every humiliation he'd suffered at the hands of the arrogant bastards of the nobility in the Kingdom of the Burning Ice?
To build a harem and simply relax for the rest of his life?
Ethan could think of many answers, but none seemed good enough.
"I want..." His lips parted, "To go beyond the system."
It was the only answer that made sense.
To go beyond the system, to be the master of his own destiny and, above all, of his own power, without being a slave to anything or anyone.
"Hm?" Elena tilted her head slightly, a short, sweet, and elegant giggle escaping her lips.
It was an interesting answer, indeed.
Women, family, revenge, power, money.
That was the basis of every answer she had ever heard when she asked that question.
