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

——It was like having a long dream.

Although I don't know the reason, I seem to have been given the opportunity to experience life again.

Born and raised in an ordinary yet happy family, and then lost his family and everything in an instant.

Fortunately, she was rescued and raised by a kind man, but she lost the opportunity to repay him forever.

Unrecognized by anyone, he could only wander around alone, barely making a living by doing meaningless work and killing people against his will...

【Don't give up, live on. 】

However, whenever I feel despair, there is always a reassuring voice ringing in my ears.

"……Who are you?"

Although I don’t know who that person is, that voice always makes my heart feel warm - even if I am covered in wounds, I still don’t give up hope of living.

And I gradually realized that the meaning of my survival was to see that person.

"...May I see you, sir?"

This question does not need to be answered, because I already have a strong premonition in my heart - when this new life reaches that critical divergence point, my wish will definitely come true.

Finally, when he swung the Heavenly Sword with all his strength, this dreamlike life turned into a bubble that was about to disappear.

Now that the dream is over, it's time to return to reality.

……

"master?"

"Yes... yes, I am your master... good boy, you finally..."

Seeing that Jiangyue really cried this time, Aarons silently stepped aside.

The sage, whose disciples had never had a good end, finally broke the curse.

Aarons was able to let go of the heavy sin and relax a little.

——But has Mo Qianyun really recovered to his original state now?

"Well, I seem to have had a very long dream..."

"Yeah, you've been sleeping for a long time."

Jiang Yue, kneeling beside the bed, held Mo Qianyun's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave again. Mo Qianyun, who had not yet fully adapted to his body, also responded to her with a faint smile.

"Master, I seem to have...hurt you before."

"It's okay, that kind of minor injury won't cause any trouble."

Even if the arm is cut off, it’s not a problem... Aarons didn’t know how to evaluate Jiangyue’s outrageous idea.

However, looking at the close interaction between the master and the disciple, Aarons suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.

So after hesitating for a moment, he quietly retreated to the door - but before he could open the door, Mo Qianyun, who was lying on the bed, suddenly discovered his presence.

"……you are?"

"Ah? You don't recognize me? Oh, it seems that there is something wrong with your memory..."

Although Aarons thought of this possibility in an instant, Jiang Yue was surprised to find that the expression on Mo Qianyun's face at this time was not the doubt of seeing the stranger -

"Yes, I'm sorry... I just didn't see it clearly for a moment... You, you are..."

...The blush on that beautiful face was definitely not caused by emotional excitement.

"Forget it, forget it. It doesn't matter if I don't remember it."

"Marquis, please step out for a moment... I have something to ask Qianyun."

"No problem, that's what I was planning to do. I'll go back to the office now. I still have to tell the others about this."

After watching Aarons leave the ward with an indifferent expression on his face because he had put down his burden, Jiang Yue sighed deeply.

"Qianyun, are you——"

……

"I see, Miss Qianyun has woken up."

"She seemed to not remember who I was. When she saw me, she didn't call me by my name for a long time."

After returning to the office, Aarons immediately called Xia Ye back. Coincidentally, Klia also came here with Karin and Zhuying, so Aarons told them the news.

"Don't remember? Master, did you misunderstand something?"

"Didn't you say last time that I altered her memory? Something must be wrong now, right?"

Seeing Aarons speaking so confidently and seemingly reasonably, Xia Ye, who had originally had a dull expression, couldn't help but change to a distressed expression.

Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two non-human women were already laughing at this time - but Aarons had no idea what they were laughing at.

"If you think so, then you will have to..."

Before Xia Ye could comment on Aarons' idea, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside - and to everyone's surprise, the person who came was Mo Qianyun, whom they had just been discussing.

Although she was supported by Jiangyue to walk here, the fact that she was able to get out of bed and walk in such a short time only proved that there was nothing serious wrong with her body.

Maybe in a few days, she will be able to fully recover to her original state.

"Mr. Marquis... Mo Qianyun greets you."

However, what was even more surprising was that the beautiful black-haired woman knelt down in front of Aarons as soon as she entered the room.

At this time, Jiangyue secretly exchanged glances with Xia Ye and Keliya.

"Hey! You don't have to do this! Your body hasn't recovered yet, Teacher Jiangyue, let her get up quickly——"

"...I knew you were a noble man, but I raised my sword against you three times...I know my crime is unforgivable, please punish me fairly and strictly!"

Aarons covered his face with his hands after hearing this unexpected request.

This is bad... Not only does this girl still remember what happened before, but her overly upright spirit has also recovered...

Punishment? How? Attacking a noble is a crime punishable by beheading according to the imperial law!

"Well, I'm actually fine, so how about..."

"No! I must be punished for my mistakes!"

"Hey, that's right. If you can't punish those who have done something wrong fairly, your subordinates will lose their trust."

What, Your Highness Princess, why are you speaking up at this time?

Aarons realized that something seemed to be wrong and immediately looked at the people around him, only to find that everyone's expressions were very strange at this moment - they looked as if they were waiting to see some joke.

Is this a test for the organization?

"Marquis, this is Qianyun's own choice. Please don't bring in personal feelings... No matter what the result is, we will accept it."

After watching Jiang Yue really take out a dagger from behind her and hand it to him very seriously, Aarons finally understood what they meant.

No matter what he thought, Mo Qianyun was now a mercenary who "attempted to assassinate the Marquis". Even if he rescued her from her mental bondage, there was no guarantee that she would really give up the mission.

——So I have to do something to prove that she is no longer a threat.

"Okay, then you listen carefully."

After taking the dagger from Jiang Yue, Aarons slowly walked behind Mo Qianyun. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he placed the dagger on the opponent's neck.

"Although I do have a love for talent, I cannot confirm whether you still have the intention to kill me. Therefore, I will judge you according to the laws of the empire - attacking an imperial noble without reason shall be executed according to the law."

After saying this in a serious and indifferent tone, Aarons reached out and lifted up Mo Qianyun's long hair.

Although the soft waist-length black hair felt like silk and was hard to let go, Aarons' eyes were always fixed on the other's white neck.

Then, he swung the dagger in his hand vigorously.

"That's what I said, but I plan to follow the rules of my place. My hair and body are given by my parents, so today I will cut off my hair in lieu of my head... In this way, I will cut off your head."

As Aarons moved, the sharp dagger finally completely cut off the inky long hair.

When Aarons thought he had completed the performance in style and even threw the dagger aside, he suddenly found that everyone around him showed even stranger expressions.

Wait? Am I doing something wrong?

"You actually resorted to such tricks... You are worthy of being my husband..."

"Master, I think you misunderstood..."

Looking at the somewhat awkward smiles on Klia and Xia Ye's faces, Aarons immediately turned around and looked at Jiang Yue beside him - however, the sage was also rubbing his forehead with his hand, which seemed a little unexpected.

"Marquis... Actually, you only needed to chop Qianyun a few times and that would have been the end of it. You don't have any fighting spirit, so you can't hurt her even if you use all your strength."

"…What? Was this what you meant at first?"

"Because the child said that she felt a little guilty, so I brought her here just for the sake of formality. But you actually..."

Looking at the bunch of severed long hair still in his hand, Aarons' face quickly became stiff.

Mo Qianyun, who had kept his head down from beginning to end, now had a red face, as if blood was about to drip out.

"Master, you really are... Hey, Miss Qianyun, please get up. Let's go to the next room to discuss some serious matters, and give our Lord Marquis some time to reflect on himself."

...What did I just do?
