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

"My Lord Marquis! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

Because Aarons knew who really invited him, he didn't want to get entangled with these little people.

"Humph, I'll let you go this time. Also, let those people with poor eyesight go out to guard the door, so that they can practice their eyesight."

"Yes, yes...you guys! Get out of here!"

Although the strength in his hands was enough to flatten or round these small figures at will, Aarons did not think he would be satisfied with it.

——His targets are those who are more powerful.

"Well, Your Excellency the Baron, since you invited me here specifically, there must be something 'important' to discuss, right?"

After hearing a certain key word that Aarons emphasized, the short and fat man immediately nodded hurriedly.

He was just a cover, so of course he knew why Aarons came here - so he immediately took the initiative to invite Aarons and Claire into the mansion, and personally took them to the third floor.

"Marquis, I am just a messenger, please don't blame me..."

"I know, you don't have to be so scared."

"Right, right here... Actually, it was the master inside who invited you this time. I am just doing the job for the money..."

After waving his hand impatiently to let the baron leave, Aarons took the initiative to push open the door of the VIP room.

——He deliberately did not knock on the door, intending to use this rude behavior to test the other party's attitude.

"So, who is it that has to come to me at this time?"

But when Aarons rudely pushed the door and walked into this room that only distinguished guests could enter, he was surprised to find that there was only one elegant man with a mustache, who looked to be in his thirties, in the room.

"I have heard a lot about you, Marquis Aarons."

"……Who are you?"

Although this man was just sitting at the long table sipping tea, his every move revealed a sense of nobility.

This must be a true aristocrat who has lived a high-end life for a long time.

"Since the Marquis is here, it means he has seen through my master's little trick. So I won't keep you in suspense - I am Mudd Scott, the eldest son of Duke Scott and the only one qualified to inherit the Duke's house."

The heir to the Duke's family? Why would such a person come here?

The children of landed nobles usually did not obtain titles quickly, and designated heirs did not even have to wait until the previous generation of nobles officially passed on their titles before they could obtain noble status.

But this does not mean that they have no rights and status.

"Wow, why would the heir of a dignified Duke family come to this remote place to look for a country noble like me?"

Aarons slowly approached the elegant-looking man while speaking disrespectfully.

Meanwhile, Claire retreated to the door and focused on playing the role of a servant.

[Senior, I don't know this person well, so I may not be able to help you with the negotiation.]

【It doesn't matter. 】

With Keliya around, at least he didn't have to worry too much about safety.

So Aarons was not too nervous now. He was more curious about what the other party was going to say by coming here specifically.

Want to form an alliance with me in the Battle of Zhengrong? This man is not an honorary noble and has no qualifications to participate in the war.

If the Duke's heir just wanted to say a few good words for the nobles supported by the Duke's family, there was no need for him to come in person.

"I came here specifically because I have something important to discuss with the Marquis."

"I didn't know that the Duke would be thinking about me."

"Humph, it seems that the Marquis is also a smart man. Then I won't say so many useless polite words."

After putting down the teacup in his hand, the elegant man dusted off his clothes and slowly stood up.

After standing up, the man suddenly released a sense of pressure from a superior.

"I'm here to tell you... no, I'm here to officially notify you on behalf of the three great dukes - your engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess will be officially cancelled soon."

……Cancel?

Aarons never expected that the other party would come to talk to him about this matter.

Is this the legendary broken engagement plot? No, there must be something else going on here.

"What does it mean?"

"We have all seen the honor duel not long ago. The Marquis's speech at that time was quite inspiring. He is indeed a model for nobles like me."

——This is not a compliment.

Aarons almost guessed the reason why the other party brought up this matter, so he did not take the initiative to respond.

"The weak have the right to survive - this is indeed the ultimate goal that the empire has always wanted to achieve. But Marquis, do you know what the premise is for the weak to have the opportunity to survive and develop?"

"…Is it because you are protected by a strong person?"

"That's right. The reason why humans were able to seize living space from monsters is because strong people were willing to risk their lives to fight them."

This logic is not wrong. Humans in this world are still threatened by monsters.

Without warriors and magicians, ordinary people would only become food for monsters. The country is the brain that controls these forces, giving ordinary people a chance to survive.

"And Her Royal Highness is a powerful person with extraordinary talents. Her strength is a weapon to protect the weak. And her precious talent should also be passed on in a way that is worthy of its name."

"…Are you saying that I am not qualified to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"The Marquis is indeed a very intelligent and talented person, but unfortunately - you don't have any talent for fighting. If Her Royal Highness the Princess really marries you, your offspring will most likely be ordinary people with mediocre talents."

The Duke's heir's intentions were clear.

Aarons has no talent for fighting, so if he marries the princess, their offspring may not be able to fully inherit the princess's talent.

He himself was the best example - Marquis Moti was a fifth-level expert, but his wife was just an ordinary person. So one of his two sons had no talent, while the other had great potential.

If she were a man, he could try a few more times by taking concubines... But Her Royal Highness the Princess is a woman, and her best childbearing age is only a few years. Even if she uses all of that time to give birth, she can't give birth to many children.

"The Empire is still at risk of being invaded by foreign enemies at any time, and magical beasts are still threatening citizens everywhere... Therefore, the Empire must not give up any opportunity to cultivate strong people, and Your Highness, who was born into the royal family, should set an example and contribute to maintaining the existing order and peace."

These are indeed irrefutable truths - conclusions that can only be reached by noble people from the huge perspective of the country.

But Aarons just felt a little stuffy.

"Have you ever considered the feelings of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
