CHAPTER 13
Bob had gone to the college as his aura managers had ensured the managing of his factory that healed pigs to produce sausages everyday, and also ensured the growth of crops under his farm.
He now had returned to the college and was working hard to learn things related to the national bureaucrats exam. He was repeatedly approached by more women as he who had broken through the limit was a walking sage on earth.
But none of that mattered for him who had planned to climb up high. Any relation would only become his weakness and would be used against him. He does not plan to get together with a low-level woman when he could get a better women when he has climbed up the pyramid and had reached the top.
The fact remained that, while others thought that there existed a title of the strongest, it often remains unoccupied. Even the emperor cannot get all women into his harem and cannot ensure that some women is not in his harem holding some high position. The power of monarchy that is held by a simple person who can be killed by a single arrow or a drop of poison does not hold much strength when facing nobles who rules over their subordinate just like them.
But there are always a class which is known as the upper class. Even if the person holding such position is a fool, they cannot be pushed down as the ones holding the position up is not the strength of the person on the chair, but the ones who gain from it, the ones who has to support it and the enemies who needs the chair to stay straight as they need enemies.
When he reaches such a position and when the world knows that he is strong enough to sit there even without the support of others and with others supports, they shall need to support him and he shall be the uncrowned emperor, he can be crowned the emperor as long as he does take care of the main problems such as unifying regimes.
But whether he takes that step or not, his position will be very high that he will get better women who are prettier, who are calmer if he wanted such and knows when to act and when to stop, is talented enough in any one of the skills she is following such as a talented painter or singer or even a businesswomen and will be from a noble family with strong background or shall possess personal strength to stand straight against his enemies, knows how to use his power and reputation to leverage it against her enemies and stand straight and tall. Such women are known as ladies rather than just a women during the ancient times and he wanted such a lady as his wife.
He never held back his ambition from himself even though he had not announced it as he was not a fool. He wanted to be a lord if he cannot be a king. Since monarchy has been long lost in the annuls of history, he shall be a modern lord sitting on the throne of money and political leverage.
As for sweet love, that was not for him who could simply choose a women, make her addicted to him just by feeding her aura every once in a while, while she is with him to make her addicted and dependent on him and make her pretty enough as to the limit of human standards and enjoy a few days with her. Love is nothing in front of power, Love is nothing in front of lust, Love is nothing in front of ambition, and love is nothing in front of addiction. Love is just an illusion that all men and women want from a higher level life form hoping to protect their own weakness hoping to let the stronger being them give up everything for them. They fall in love, they invest too much, the keep giving even against logic as they hope such a love in return as they had given while forgetting that, the very need for love was self-protection, was to rise higher, was to gain power over the other.
He does not need love. He does not care about taboo. But within his cognition that was formed through living in this world and society for 22 years, he shall indeed stand atop the world and enjoy how he wants.
