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

The three dukedoms responded and acted very quickly.

It should be said that they are worthy of being the great nobles who have existed in the empire for more than two hundred years. After Aarons rejected the proposal to cancel the engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess, some negative rumors immediately began to spread throughout the Marquisate.

"Have you heard that Marquis Aarons is not Marquis Moti's biological son at all?"

"Really? No wonder he didn't inherit any of the Marquis's talents... Turns out he's just a bastard who came from nowhere."

"Is this a rumor? Didn't you see him in the psychic vision? He looks quite similar to Marquis Moti?"

Similar rumors quickly spread to various cities. Although many of the statements did not stand up to scrutiny, they still obviously shook Aarons' reputation, which had been hard to improve.

——If he is really not the biological son of Marquis Moti, then his title and engagement will be invalid.

"I heard that the emperor has already known about this matter and will soon issue an edict to cancel the princess's engagement."

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Her Highness Princess make a public appearance in the Honor Duel before? She and the new Marquis seemed to be quite close."

But no matter how the rumors and speculations among the people fermented, Aarons and the princess, as the parties involved, did not take the initiative to make any response.

……

“…These people are really fast.”

"They are creating public opinion for what they are going to do next. After all, cancelling a royal engagement that has already been made public is a big deal. If they don't get public support, it will also affect their reputation."

"Teacher Jiangyue, didn't you and His Highness meet the envoys of the three dukes yesterday? What did they say?"

Since the city office and volunteers have been helping to collect intelligence, Aarons can get a general idea of ​​the situation outside without leaving home.

"Ah, those little brats are pretty funny."

——Yesterday, the people sent by the three dukes had officially contacted Keliya, and Jiangyue also listened to the negotiation in a private capacity.

"They actually brought a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet, saying that the little guy was the candidate for the fiancée that everyone in the empire agreed on. Then they began to persuade Her Royal Highness to put the overall situation first and not waste her precious talent and bloodline by marrying a loser."

"So direct?"

"After all, Her Highness hasn't made a public appearance in the past ten years. They may still think she is an innocent little girl. But what do you think Her Highness did?"

Aarons had no idea what Claire would do - the princess was a ruthless character who would actually take action if she said so, so it wouldn't be too outrageous even if she just killed all those people.

"His Highness said he wanted to test the people they brought with him, and then he used a high-level dark magic on the kid, directly breaking all the magic circuits in his body."

“…Waste?”

"The magic circuit can be restored slowly, but the mental trauma is another matter. When the circuit broke, the kid lost control of his emotions and went crazy and wet his pants. Even if he can be cured when he returns, he will probably have a psychological trauma for the rest of his life."

Isn’t this a bit too much... Are we going to create a Long Aotian who is bent on revenge?

"But that kid's fault. Not only did he say that His Highness was forced to get engaged to you, he even volunteered to get rid of you for His Highness."

"Well, you deserve it."

"There's nothing else interesting. Her Highness will be here soon, and you can just ask her directly about the rest when the time comes."

According to the previous agreement, Claire would meet with the envoys of the three dukes before coming to him - the two of them would formally exchange their secrets and put everything on the table openly.

——And Aarons was already prepared.

"Then I'll go find Xia Ye and ask her to call everyone else over."

……

Because this meeting was to discuss a secret matter, Aarons asked the children to stay in the backyard and be temporarily taken care of by the female magician Muli.

The only people responsible for accompanying Aarons were Karin Xiaye and Zhu Ying.

"After all, I am still your highness's maid, so I will sit here today. Is that okay with the Marquis?"

"Of course I have no objection, but why is this kid Luo Lan here too?"

"This is a big deal, brother-in-law. If I don't come, my sister might beat me up..."

This brother is too cowardly!

...But if I have to say, his sister is indeed quite scary.

"——Good afternoon everyone, please forgive me for the delay."

Just after everyone was officially seated, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been waiting outside the door, finally walked into the room.

After she sat down gracefully opposite Aarons, a light black barrier quietly cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the room.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, you can never have too much of this protection.

"Since we are all family here, let's skip the polite part. Claire, we agreed to exchange our secrets today, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let me tell you first. Although the people here already know about it, please be fully prepared."

Aarons was a little nervous because he was about to reveal his true identity - but he only hesitated for a short while before he immediately regained his courage.

"I'm not actually Aarons Moti himself - my soul is a travel from another world, an outsider who happened to occupy this body and got this false identity."

After saying this truth that was enough to overturn ordinary people's cognition in a solemn tone, Aarons immediately began to observe the expressions of the three people opposite him -

Sage Jiangyue was still smiling, but the Third Prince Luolan looked absent-minded - and Her Royal Highness the Princess even just tilted her head, as if she didn't care at all.

"Hey? Give me some reaction, what I said is true—"

"Well, we already knew this."

……What?

You already knew it! ?

"Master, because this matter may cause serious interpersonal risks, we took the initiative to share your memory with Her Royal Highness the Princess a long time ago - the first time she came to our house."

"What are you talking about!?"

"By the way, brother-in-law, I've actually seen it too, the other world is really amazing."

So you all knew about this a long time ago!? Am I the only one who is worried about this!?

Wait, what did Klia actually mean when she said "I like myself now" that day...

"After all, the person who is willing to accept me as I am now is not Aarons Morty, Mr. Zhou Mu."

"…What on earth was I worrying about before?"

Claire revealed her true feelings to him after knowing the truth - this conclusion completely eliminated the reason for Aarons to worry.

Perhaps it was just as she said—the longings of the past may have long disappeared in time, and the person she was looking at now was herself from another world.

"We'll talk about this in detail later. Now, it's time for me to show you a secret... Please be fully prepared mentally."

As the sound in her mouth gradually became lower, Claire slowly raised her hands.

And her fingers finally placed on the strap of the veil that always covered her face.

"I hope you won't regret this—"

Then Aarons finally saw a curse that he had never seen in his two lives, a curse that was like the jealousy of heaven.

On that face that should have been unforgettably beautiful, there was a horrific scar that tore across the entire face at an angle, a scar that could not be accurately described in words.
