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

When the unexpected incident was reported by psychic news and newspapers, the entire border territory was immediately in an uproar.

The cause of the incident was very simple - a reporter was planning to interview the honorary marquis who had built a stronghold in Cornell, but happened to see the conflict between Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis.

——According to the footage taken by reporters and statements from some insiders, Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to think that she was deceived by the Marquis, which is why she clashed with his subordinates.

At present, Her Royal Highness has left the newly built base and is said to be seeking assistance from the Duke of Booker's family, with whom she has officially entered into an engagement.

As soon as this explosive news came out, people who originally didn't care much about it also began to pay attention to subsequent developments - after all, a few days ago someone said that Her Royal Highness the Princess was deceived into getting involved with Aarons... Now it seems that this is true?

"I thought those things were just rumors, but they are actually true?"

"Maybe not. Maybe the couple is just having a quarrel. They might make up tomorrow."

"I think that young master... oh, he's a marquis now, he's really pretty tough... Her Royal Highness the Princess is now officially engaged to the Duke's family, and he can still keep her in his house for so many days..."

Although no one took the one-sided engagement seriously, most people still felt that it was definitely odd for such a thing to happen at this time.

Public opinion soon split into two camps - one camp believed that Aarons and the princess were just flirting and would be back to normal in a few days, while the other camp believed that the princess was planning to choose a better husband and that was why she deliberately clashed with Aarons.

Since neither side could prove that their guess was absolutely correct, the discussion about this matter spread to every place in the border territory within a day.

The Duke's heir, who was involved in the incident, also received the princess' letter.

……

"Heh, this is most likely a ploy to lure me out."

Although short, fat and plain-looking, William Booker did have the brains and determination that befitted a duke's heir.

"But it could be true. After all, the Marquis has no ability and his appearance is just average... Maybe Her Highness the Princess is really tired of playing around, so she did something like this."

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Where is that battleship now? Is it still in the base in Cornell Village?"

Because he was the heir to the Duke, William did not intend to put himself in danger. The last time Aarons attacked him in public, he actually felt threatened.

If you go out casually, you might be attacked by the other party.

"According to our investigation, the battleship seems to be still under repair and will not be able to start for a while."

"Is that so? Heh... Then you guys should take the mercenary group over to investigate the situation. Also, bring your magical protective equipment. If Her Highness the Princess is really there, try to capture her directly."

Regardless of whether this is a trap or not, as a businessman, William is willing to take this small risk - after all, the profits are so huge that people are willing to take risks.

"But Master, if we and the mercenary group leave, will you be in danger?"

"I will leave this city at the same time as you set out. Whether you can capture the princess or not, I will leave this place in three days."

As long as you board the airship, your personal safety will be guaranteed - after all, humans cannot fly into the sky with their physical bodies, and ordinary magic cannot reach such high places.

"Next time I come here, I will seize all the people around that useless Marquis."

……

At this time, on the wasteland, Her Royal Highness the Princess and her Aries secretary were setting up a tent for camping.

"Sister Xia Ye, I have something to ask you."

"Your Highness, please speak up. I will not hide anything that I can answer."

"My husband...has he always been forcing himself?"

After hearing this unexpected question, Xia Ye couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

After thinking about it seriously for a while, she pushed her glasses again with her hand and answered Claire's question in a serious tone.

"Young Master, in fact, has never gotten rid of the habits of his previous life."

Because Xia Ye has seen Aarons' memories many times, he may be the person who knows Aarons best.

"He still hasn't learned to rely on others. When he encounters anything, the first thing he thinks of is how to handle it by himself...and once something goes wrong, he will take all the responsibility on himself."

Rather than saying that this is an excessive selflessness, it is better to say that Aarons is actually afraid - he is afraid that he will be abandoned by others because he cannot create value, so he has been trying to do things that are not suitable for him.

Putting all the blame on oneself for failure is simply because of lack of self-confidence.

"While I think the young master will eventually understand his own value, I am worried that before then, he will make a more serious mistake."

"…What could it be?"

"For example, thinking that you are replaceable at a critical moment, and then choosing to abandon others to die alone."

Xia Ye's conclusion was very cold and ruthless.

The reason why Aarons experienced so many failures in his previous life was actually because he had an abnormal tendency to self-deprecate in his heart - he was unable to recognize his own abilities or values, and when faced with a dilemma, he would only choose to sacrifice himself first.

In the incident not long ago, he had actually shown such characteristics.

"…My husband always holds his head high."

Because he is used to looking up, Aarons will not pay attention to the ugliness and derogation that only crawls at his feet. But it is also because he always looks up that he only feels that he is not doing well enough.

——Even if he pushed himself to the point of exhaustion, he would never lower his proud head.

"Although it's not appropriate for me to say this, people like you, young master, really meet the standards of a noble."

"I...have received so much kindness from him, but I don't know what I can do for him."

After seeing the princess' distressed look, Xia Ye couldn't help but sigh deeply - she could certainly understand her distress, because she was actually thinking about this problem herself.

What exactly should he do to make Aarons recognize him?

"I don't know what to do, but you are not alone - so if you have any troubles, go and discuss it with others."

After realizing that her heart seemed unable to maintain its previous calmness, the Aries Witch who had survived from ancient times could not help but let out a bitter smile.

"Let's just let everyone worry about this kind of thing together."
