The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Even though the unexpected disturbance had been successfully resolved, Aarons' home had not really returned to peace.

"Damn you, stinky spider! Don't even think about taking my job!"

"Rebuttal. The master doesn't need a guard with lower combat power than me, stupid dog."

If the outer barrier of the Marquis's Mansion had not been recently added with additional anti-peeping and soundproofing effects, the deafening sound of fighting in the front yard would surely have attracted a lot of curious eyes.

“…Keep the kids out of the front yard.”

"Don't worry, the children are in class and won't be here before noon."

It was clearly just a fight of fists and feet, but there was always an explosive shock wave spreading outward - Karin and Zhuying had been fighting here since early morning, but after more than two hours, there was no sign of a winner.

Although the taunts they exchanged were quite nasty, the two of them controlled the power of the battle very tacitly - they did not use any earth-melting punches or hypersonic flying attacks, they just punched and kicked each other in the face and stomach.

...This isn't a good idea, is it?

"Ms. Karin seemed very unhappy about having half of her work taken away from her, and Miss Zhuying not only accepted the provocation, but also doubled her ridicule back... Is your ex-girlfriend really like this?"

“…Shouldn’t it be?”

Seeing the coolly dressed brown-skinned wolf girl and the petite maid girl punching each other in the face again, Aarons finally gave up thinking.

"You two... stop before lunch!"

"No problem! We won't be fighting for long!"

"Received. Adjusting energy consumption pattern."

Maybe they have a good relationship?

Hearing Xia Ye sighing helplessly beside him, Aarons simply ignored the battle over there.

"Also, Master, the City Hall just sent someone to deliver a letter. I have already put it in your office."

“Have you read the contents?”

"No, it has a magical seal on it. Only you can open it with the seal."

Only high-ranking nobles would use magic to seal letters. The emperor had used the same method when he issued a private audience order to him.

But who would come to me at this time? Could it be someone who wanted to discuss an alliance?

"I heard that many nobles outside have already started to form an alliance? The final ownership of the city can only be given to one person, right?"

"Yes, according to the volunteers' reports, some minor nobles who had no competitiveness have attached themselves to the powerful nobles."

"Giving up the fight for territory and working for others instead... they are pretty smart."

Many small nobles knew very well that they did not have enough strength and resources to compete for territory, so they changed the way of making profits - as long as the big nobles were willing to pay enough compensation, they would contribute their resources.

Maybe the person who sent you the letter had the same idea.

"I'll go back and take a look first. After lunch, ask them to come to the office with you... and ask Teacher Jiangyue to come as well."

"Although I don't think that old woman can be of any use, I will ask her to come over."

...I almost forgot, it seems like we're not getting along well with the two guys in the civil service group.

……

"An invitation to the ball? Asking me to go to Marvell... Is this a trap?"

Unexpectedly, after Aarons opened the sealed envelope, he only found a simple invitation letter.

"The person who invited me was Baron Glo... Who is this person?"

"Marquis, can you show me the envelope?"

Since Karin Xiaye and Zhuying knew basically nothing about the affairs of the empire, only the sage Jiangyue, who was also a noble, could help with this issue.

"The structure of this seal is unique to the Scott family. The Duke likes to argue over these details."

"Duke? I see. This is probably a test of my strength."

"That's about it, Marquis. If you don't know who the letter actually came from, you probably won't go to the appointment."

My family and the Duke's family have never had any dealings in the past, but why are they testing me in this way now?

——After thinking about it carefully, Aarons realized a key problem.

"...Are you trying to get in touch with the princess through me?"

"What exactly is going on? You and His Highness can go and see for yourself, right?"

"Well, it seems that this is the only way. Teacher Jiangyue, please inform Her Royal Highness the Princess and tell her that I need 'an attendant'."

Because he didn't know what the Duke's purpose was in inviting him in this way, Aarons didn't plan to take a "princess" to Marvell in a high-profile manner.

And he happened to have a special "attendant" who could come in handy on this occasion.

"Understood. I will contact His Highness now."

"Xia Ye, please take charge of the household affairs while I'm away. Karin and Zhu Ying... please stand by, I may need your support at any time."

Karin can receive her one-way message through the contract, and Zhuying has the ability to fly at supersonic speeds. As long as the two cooperate with each other, they can quickly provide support for themselves.

Of course, the premise is that they will cooperate with each other...

"Got it. I'll cooperate with this heavy, stinky spider."

"Got it. Even with this stupid dog, I can reach Marvell in 200 standard seconds."

"I don't understand whether your relationship is good or bad..."

Although the brown-skinned wolf girl and the cherry-haired maid did not forget to mock each other at this time, Aarons felt that the two of them actually had a special tacit understanding.

There shouldn't be any problem... probably.

"In that case, I will make you a new dress suitable for the ball."

"I just want to ask... can the defensive power of the clothes be improved a little bit?"

"The clothes made of the existing materials can only withstand a level 3 attack. If you want stronger defense, you have to find some materials from high-level monsters."

Although the firepower in his hands is seriously excessive, the biggest problem has not been solved.

——I am too weak. If someone is determined to kill me, even if there are people protecting me, I may still be killed in various ways.

So what should I do to ensure that I, as the core of this family, will not fall because of a simple attack?

"Forget it, I have nothing else to do. The date on the invitation is tomorrow evening, so please prepare it before noon tomorrow."

Watching the four women walk out of the room one by one, Aarons began to think about the problem he needed to pay attention to at the moment -

The most crucial question is, how should I, who is not the real eldest son of the Marquis's family, respond to Her Royal Highness the Princess?
