Because the backyard was indeed a bit too noisy, Aarons didn't even have the mind to think about whether there might be any problems with Xia Ye.

But when he actually arrived at the backyard, he saw that there was a two-story building that was almost as big as the mansion - and the final roof was being closed.

"Oh my god...what's going on?!"

"Oh, is the Marquis back?"

After Aarons shouted in surprise, Jiangyue, with her neatly combed short purple hair, walked over from the side of the building.

Today she was not wearing the long maid outfit, but a shirt, trousers and white coat that was quite science-oriented.

…It looks like Xia Ye did it.

"I have asked Miss Yang for permission. The space in your backyard is just the right size, so I rented it to build a research lab."

"It's only been less than half a day. How did you build it..."

"Didn't you just send the right person?"

Following the direction of Jiangyue's finger, Aarons saw a female magician who was using earth magic to manipulate a large amount of bricks and stones - she was indeed the one he had met in the city hall in the morning.

...What was that person's name?

"You are really strange. Miss Mu Li might be able to advance to level five in a few years, but you didn't take her into your own home. Instead, you pushed her to His Highness."

"Teacher Jiangyue, do you think I really have the prestige and talent to be worthy of their service?"

"That's something you have to ask yourself."

Aarons looked again at the magician who was building the entire building alone, and then shook his head firmly.

——He doesn’t think he is someone worth following.

"It seems that the Marquis needs some time to adjust his mentality. I won't say more."

"What does Teacher Jiangyue plan to do with this workshop?"

"I have a lot of unfinished research projects. Even though I came here with the princess, I can't fall behind in my work."

Even though she looks like a mature woman in her thirties, this sage is actually several hundred years old.

Moreover, she herself is an academic pioneer who invented the technology of spiritual power conversion, so it is not surprising that she has other research projects.

"Marquis, are you interested in my work? The three projects with the highest priority right now are the magic source stone compression technology, the development of a small magic source furnace, and the experiment to increase the speed of spiritual power conversion... Actually, they are almost the same thing."

“It’s all about energy.”

"It just so happens that Miss Wolf from your family is a rare person who can absorb psychic energy. With her help, these topics may soon make some progress."

Aarons did not understand these technologies, but he also knew that this was a very valuable research - although the people in this world had been using magic source stones and psychic energy for a long time, the methods they used had not changed much.

If Jiangyue can really develop new technology, then I will definitely be the first one to benefit.

"Can I offer an idea?"

"If it's a technical idea, please feel free to tell me."

"It's like this, today, Her Royal Highness and I -"

Although he didn't expect anything, Aarons still recounted what had happened not long ago.

He described the unexpected encounter in detail - in addition to being shocked by the princess's power, he also emphasized his own abilities and the problems he encountered at the time.

He still thinks that his performance at that time was really bad.

"…Marquis, why do you think so?"

However, after listening to Aarons' story, the beautiful sage frowned for some reason.

"After seeing the power of Her Royal Highness the Princess, not only are you not going to let go of the burden of fighting, but you are even blaming yourself for not doing well enough?"

"It's just that Her Highness happens to have great power. What if Her Highness is not that strong? What if there is someone else beside me?"

"Are you going to bear the brunt of failures that don't even exist?"

Aarons knew that this was just self-righteousness, that he was just blaming himself for what might go wrong, but the mere thought of the possibility created fear in his heart.

——You must do better to turn these "possibilities" into "impossibilities".

"I'm just an incompetent person who can't do anything. If I can't do my best when I can do something, then once someone is hurt by my incompetence... it will be too late."

"…So what do you want me to do?"

"Please help me make a prop that can let me convey my thoughts to others as quickly as possible... It's too slow to just speak with my mouth."

Hearing this, Jiangyue couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

She saw an extremely powerful yet twisted will in Aarons - he knew clearly that he was just a weak man, but he intended to shoulder all the responsibilities of the strong men.

He could have delegated all the chores to his subordinates, but he still did it himself. He could have used the princess's power to crush all obstacles, but he questioned his performance in battle.

...He could have lived an easy life, but he chose the most difficult path.

"Do you think you are not qualified to command others?"

"…Did I really have one?"

"Oh, I see. I have something that can help you get rid of your inferiority complex."

Inferiority complex? Maybe that's what I think.

Although Aarons had the title and identity of a noble, his spirit always remained in the state of his previous life - it was precisely because he did not have any special abilities that he led a large group of people to an end of failure.

"All I know is that the weak are not worth following."

The life experiences of his previous life may still be binding his mind.

"I'm not a psychology teacher. I'd better let Her Royal Highness the Princess or your two young ladies teach you about this. Miss Muli, please help me get the backpack from the box over there!"

After hearing Jiang Yue's instructions, the female magician who was still manipulating the earth and rocks finally stopped her magic. When she found that Aarons was also present, her movements became a little flustered.

"Is this what you are talking about, Ms. Jiangyue?"

"Yes, just bring it here!"

The female magician in a long robe trotted briskly to Aarons and Jiangyue, and handed a black backpack to the female sage. After doing this, she immediately turned her attention to Aarons.

"Master... no, Lord Marquis, thank you for helping me find such an important job."

"Go thank Her Royal Highness the Princess. I didn't do anything."

"Marquis, if you keep shirking your responsibilities and taking all the credit, it will make people feel hypocritical."

While Jiang Yue was speaking mockingly at Aarons who was in a state of mental exhaustion, she took out several crystals sparkling with colorful light from her backpack.

"This is what you want, Marquis. But let me ask you first, have you ever heard of a magical beast called Totobi?"
