"These nobles really think they can squeeze me flat and make me round at will."

Having received such ridiculous news, Aarons immediately called all his family members over - except Jiangyue who was doing an experiment and couldn't leave, the other women soon came to the office.

After reading this informal notice herself, Claire sneered and tore the letter into pieces.

"Do you need me to take out that idiot, husband?"

"No, I'm going to tease them first this time."

Cancelling the princess's original engagement and issuing an edict ordering her to marry another person - something that would obviously undermine the dignity of the royal family could not have been the emperor's intention.

And the great nobles who had been eroding the royal power were obviously planning to use this opportunity to weaken the royal power.

"They dared to do something that was against etiquette because they thought I was incapable of resisting. If the engagement of Her Royal Highness the Princess was really tampered with, then His Majesty would also lose face."

The actions of the great nobles were actually quite simple and crude. They simply intended to create a fait accompli and make Aarons lose moral and public support.

——If the person being fiancéed really changes his partner, then no matter what he does afterwards, it will be seen as the struggle of a loser.

"So here's what I think - Klia can just pretend to be sick and not go out these few days, and she doesn't need to respond to any of their requests. And I will go and find out the situation myself, and try to lure them into our attack range... and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Aarons had no intention of showing any mercy to such an enemy.

"Xia Ye, how many self-propelled artillery do we have now?"

"There are currently twelve vehicles that can operate normally. If we use all the alchemical materials to rush the production, we can build three more within five days."

"It's enough. We'll use it this time first, and then slowly upgrade it to a mass-produced model."

After Aarons proposed "converting armored vehicles that cannot fight against fighting magic head-on into long-range artillery", the manufacturer immediately modified the design and produced self-propelled artillery based on large trucks.

Semi-fluid magic source stone will instantly release extremely powerful spiritual power when it explodes, so it has extremely strong lethality to fighting warriors and magicians.

However, it is a pity that if you want to trigger a spiritual explosion that is strong enough to kill a warrior, the amount of explosives in each shell must be greater than ten kilograms.

——This also means that the small-caliber kinetic weapons that Aarons has always dreamed of are still unable to cause effective damage to the warriors in this world.

"Although it is a bit unnecessary for me to ask this, Marquis, would it be dangerous for you to go and investigate the situation in person?"

"Because other people are not familiar with the aristocratic circles of the empire, I plan to go there with Teacher Jiangyue. Of course, I will also bring other guards."

"Then, Marquis, I will also send people from the Fourth Legion to protect you secretly."

Because Aarons was well prepared, others had no objections to his plan.

——No matter who the person who came here to provoke him is, he does not intend to let the other person go back alive.

……

"Is Teacher Jiangyue here? I have something I want to discuss with her."

"Oh, please come in, Lord Marquis. The Earl is taking a break, so you can just go to the research room."

Because the development workshop has been extremely busy these days, Aarons has never had the courage to disturb Jiangyue's research.

But today, he had something more important to ask for help from a wise man who was familiar with the imperial aristocratic circle.

"Excuse me, Teacher Jiangyue, do you have time now--"

However, when Aarons pushed open the door of the laboratory, he saw an unexpected scene.

A beautiful woman with lavender shoulder-length hair, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a skirt, was leaning on the drawing table. Her slender legs, not covered by any clothes, were crossed front and back, posing an alluring posture.

It's really beautiful, if only I could... No, who is this? !

"Marquis? What do you want?"

After hearing the familiar voice, Aarons shifted his gaze from the legs and looked at the other person's face.

Then he was surprised to find that this beautiful woman who had almost made him lose control of his desire at just one glance was none other than Jiang Yue herself, whom he was looking for.

"Uh, well... Teacher Jiangyue, what are you doing..."

Jiang Yue changed her hairstyle and hair color, took off her glasses and put on jewelry. Her temperament looked completely different from before.

If she was originally a mature woman full of intelligence and steadiness, now she seemed like a devil that could lead people to depravity - every unintentional little movement she made was tempting enough to make a young man like Aarons lose his rationality.

This guy is more like a devil than that devil Xia Ye!

"Oh, are you talking about my appearance? I asked Miss Yang to redesign my look a few days ago. It should be pretty good, right?"

"Indeed... it's pretty good."

Feeling the blood in his body unconsciously gathering towards a certain part of his body, Aarons was forced to activate his ability and forcibly calm down this inexplicable desire.

But before he could adjust himself, Jiang Yue suddenly put down the information in her hand and walked in front of him with her long legs.

"Your face seems a little red, are you okay?"

"Ahem, I'm fine... No, something's wrong with me, please don't get so close to me!"

After realizing that his own abilities were not enough to suppress the impulses of this young body, Aarons responded decisively and directly.

"Teacher Jiangyue, no matter how old I was in my previous life... I am only twenty-one years old now! I am afraid I will make mistakes!"

After taking several steps back on his own initiative, Aarons immediately shook his head vigorously, temporarily throwing away the increasing number of distracting thoughts from his mind.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Miss Yang's design to be so suitable for your taste... I will keep a proper distance from you, please don't be nervous."

After noticing Aarons's embarrassment, the beautiful sage with a gentle smile took a few steps back. After the two of them distanced themselves, the strange feeling of charm disappeared.

It was at this moment that Aarons suddenly realized that his inexplicable desire might have nothing to do with his body.

——Xia Ye must have done something!

"By the way, Marquis, I learned some new skills from Miss Yang before. If you are not in a hurry, can I demonstrate them to you first?"

Skill? What skill? It can’t be a skill that makes people make a lot of noise!

When Aarons showed a nervous and embarrassed expression, the smile on Jiangyue's face seemed to become even more intense.

However, when she casually summoned the new equipment that instantly shocked Aarons, the previous charming atmosphere was immediately swept away -

"This is a new weapon made with reference to your memory and Miss Yang's ability—"
