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

Since they already knew that the three dukes would have contact with Claire again, the two agreed to meet again after that.

Aarons was actually mentally prepared for the secret that Claire was going to tell.

——The reason why she always covered her face was probably not to avoid other people's gazes.

……

"I'm back...what's going on?"

At nightfall, Aarons finally returned home, but as soon as he entered the yard, he saw an unexpected scene.

"Master, we have a little problem here."

——The third prince Roland, who appeared in his own home for some unknown reason, was now standing in the small square in the front yard, seemingly confronting Els.

Next to the boy, the girl Mary seemed to be anxiously trying to stop the conflict between the two.

"Your Highness the Third Prince? Why is he here?"

Since all four women in the family were present at the time, Aarons was not overly concerned about safety issues.

However, he immediately asked about the situation - because he felt that this was a problem that only he could solve.

"In the afternoon, His Royal Highness disguised himself and came to see you secretly. It turned out that you and Her Royal Highness the Princess were in Maville. Because he said he wanted to visit the Marquis's Mansion, I let him move freely."

Xia Ye narrated the cause of the incident with an expressionless face, and then the narrator was replaced by Jiang Yue, who was very familiar with the prince.

"Your Highness happened to catch up with the magic class when he went to visit the classroom. As you know, although His Highness is only sixteen years old this year, he is already a formal magician."

"I see, he was showing off his strength to those brats, right?"

"If it were just that, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is that His Highness has been staying in the palace for almost all these years and has never seen any children of the same age...especially girls."

So that's it - after hearing this, Aarons guessed what had happened.

The only children in my family who are close to the prince's age are Els and Mary.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who has almost no chance to interact with his peers, would naturally be a little overly excited in front of girls.

What happened next is easy to understand.

"Because little Merry also has a good talent for magic, His Highness began to share his experience with her. But His Highness is a young man after all, and after he got too excited, he started to speak without thinking."

"...Isn't he going to say that he wants to marry Mary?"

"If I hadn't said it, things wouldn't be like this now."

It is true that young people who are not yet adults may do such stupid things, and Aarons does not think there is anything strange about it.

If it was before, he might have watched the show with gloating on the side, but after what happened today, he found that he could no longer laugh.

——This is no longer an ordinary competition between two boys, but a prince is trying to use his status to bully two ordinary peers.

"Alright... Luo Lan, stop it now!"

"Who dares to be so rude to this prince! Don't you know...sister, brother-in-law?"

"……What are you doing."

Seeing Aarons walking towards him with a cold face, the young prince, who had been somewhat arrogant, suddenly shrank back.

"I, I didn't do anything...nothing..."

His Royal Highness the Prince was obviously an official magician, and he shouldn't be so afraid of Aarons who couldn't even release his fighting spirit - but as soon as he saw the angry Aarons, he immediately lost all his energy and couldn't even say a word to defend himself.

"Loran, answer me, do you still remember that you are the prince of the empire?"

"Remember, remember..."

"Then Your Highness, please tell me what you just did."

Aarons didn't seem angry, but his voice was frighteningly cold. Roland was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground.

"I, I just think Miss Meili is very cute, and I want to deepen my relationship with her..."

"Merry, did you explicitly say no to him?"

"Yes... Master, I told you I already have someone I like."

After hearing the girl's answer, Aarons suddenly took a step forward and grabbed the prince by the collar.

"Did you hear that, brat! Answer me now! What the hell are you doing!!"

"I, I just... I just think that I am better! There is no way I will have a better future than following that guy! I..."

"Shut up!"

After Aarons yelled at Roland face to face, the prince, who had just mustered up a little courage, dared not speak again.

"... Luo Lan, listen carefully. I am talking to you as your future brother-in-law."

After letting go of the other person's collar, Aarons' emotions quickly calmed down.

"You think you are better than that brat, and stronger than him, so it's only natural that the girl should choose you, right?"

"Yes...that's it."

"Then have you ever thought that if someone better than you appears one day, should she decisively abandon you and throw herself into the arms of that person?"

If this is a cruel world where the strong prey on the weak, then this may be true.

But this is not that kind of world - ordinary people here have the right to choose and the qualifications to be chosen. And the so-called strong are not the existence that can absolutely dominate the weak.

The magic source stone that can interfere with magic and fighting spirit is enough to serve as a weapon for the weak to fight back - Aarons had read in history books before that there were many powerful people without morals in the past, and they eventually died at the hands of the weak who were bullied and oppressed by them.

And precisely because humans in the past have made many mistakes in this matter, the world today abides by the basic rule of mutual benefit and win-win between the strong and the weak.

"Of course you can use your own resources and power to demand obedience from others, but if you do that, you must be prepared to be robbed by someone more powerful one day in the future."

"I……"

"Then do you have this awareness? Do you have the awareness to fight with others until the end of your life, and to be crushed under the feet of others in the end?"

Precisely because no "human" can become an absolutely powerful and immortal being, if one advocates the rule of the survival of the fittest, it will eventually backfire on oneself.

The world in Aarons' previous life was like this, and this strange world now is actually the same.

"……I was wrong."

"If you want to apologize, don't say it to me."

Seeing Roland, who had matured a little because of his advice, bowing and apologizing to Els and Mary, Aarons seemed to have found his direction.

——Those great nobles wanted to use such rules to plunder him, so he had to resist.

He wanted to defeat those people in his own way and let them know that even the weak and incompetent ones could have the power to resist them.

"From this point of view, the Marquis is really good at educating children."

"It's just that your Highness has a strong understanding ability. I didn't do anything."

The young prince Loran could be moved by such simple words because he also had the qualities to be a king.

But Aarons never thought about it - how would he be evaluated since he was able to intimidate the King's Weapon as a weak person?

Perhaps the people gathered around him are the answer to this question.
