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

While Aarons was suffering from back pain and lack of energy these days, the situation outside also changed slightly.

The Duke of Booker's family has loudly announced the plan to bring back the princess - William Booker will lead about 500 personal guards and board the cruiser "Golden Bridge" to go to the border again to clear all potential threats for the empire.

Of course, everyone understood that the Duke's family was planning to forcibly abduct someone.

They believed that the princess herself would not dare to defy the rules of the nobility, so as long as Aarons was defeated, all problems would be solved naturally.

However, Aarons did not respond.

"Mr. Marquis, have you decided to cooperate with my master?"

"Of course. Besides, the Duke has shown me his sincerity last time, so it's my turn to show my sincerity."

"I will go back and report to the Duke immediately. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave now."

Duke Ophelia did send his subordinates as promised, and Aarons agreed to work with him - although this high-risk deal did not seem to have a particularly lucrative return at the moment, neither party seemed to have considered this issue.

Maybe this is a special kind of tacit understanding, or maybe there are some other reasons.

……

After the visitor left, Aarons went to the newly established training ground next to the base airport.

Today is the day when Jiangyue takes out for testing for the first time something that she had worked overtime to make. Although Aarons doesn't know what it is specifically, he has already guessed it.

He had told Jiangyue before that he wanted to give Mo Qianyun a gift. And the thing Jiangyue made this time was probably specially for that girl.

However, when he arrived at the new training ground, he immediately saw a fierce hand-to-hand combat going on in mid-air.

"What, what are you doing?!"

The man was wearing a black tight combat suit with armor added in key parts, two flexibly rotating delta wings on his back, and holding a mechanical long sword in each hand. It was Mo Qianyun who had just officially taken office as an attendant.

Her opponent is the spider cherry that can fly freely in the sky.

"Well... if it's just this little bit of pressure, I can still keep up!"

"Announcement. Angle of attack restrictions lifted - gravity is a shackle that binds humans, not me."

The two people, whose flying speed easily broke the sound barrier, kept crossing and colliding in the sky with a trajectory that completely ignored the laws of physics, making a deafening explosion.

Although Mo Qianyun could not completely keep up with Zhu Ying's speed, she could use magic to forcibly correct her movements so that her fighting posture remained stable at all times.

If she were given better equipment and extra practice time, maybe she could actually shoot down Spider Sakura from mid-air - but it seems that's not possible today.

"Ugh-"

After fighting for more than a dozen rounds at super high speed in the air, Mo Qianyun finally lost to Zhu Ying's weight... She was hit directly by the huge battle axe and fell from the sky.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Zhu Ying flew down in time and lifted her up accurately and steadily.

"...Thank you, senior. I have no problem."

"Appreciation. It's shocking that you can keep up with my speed."

After the two men landed safely, the surrounding spectators and craftsmen cheered at the same time.

The strong deserve respect - and those who can conquer the sky must be looked up to and worshipped.

"What do you think, Marquis?"

Just as Aarons was sighing silently in his heart, he suddenly felt his arm seemed to be wrapped by something smooth and cold.

After hearing that gentle voice with a hint of maturity, his body trembled involuntarily as if he instinctively recalled some bad memories.

"Teacher Jiangyue, you are here too...um, the tail..."

"Oh, don't you like touching this?"

The person who came to his side was of course the Sage Jiangyue - those very eye-catching coral-shaped horns and slender snake tail have now completely become a part of her body.

She claimed that these things were just magic props she made. And considering her reputation as a magic sage, no one doubted her statement.

"No, there are too many people here so..."

"So we'll talk about it at night? You're really greedy."

Although the relationship between the two has changed fundamentally, the way they address each other has not changed - firstly, addressing each other like this has become a habit, and secondly, there are indeed some other fun aspects to it.

And Aarons also helped Jiangyue regain the ability to use magic these days.

Although she still needs to replenish her spiritual energy and convert it into magic power, Jiangyue can now use these new organs to release some specific magic.

...In addition, after knowing where Jiangyue usually replenished her spiritual energy, Aarons finally understood why he had been able to open up another path so smoothly before.

And it seems that I learned this from Karin...

"Alright, alright, today's protagonist should be Qianyun. Marquis, go say hello to her. I should go get the 'important things' out."

Because they were indeed testing new equipment today, Jiang Yue didn't plan to stay here for too long. And Aarons really wanted to say hello to Mo Qianyun now.

Although she has become his attendant now, he has never had a serious chat with her.

……

"Miss Qianyun, do you have time to chat?"

"Um... Master! You... should just call me Qianyun."

"Well, I won't use the honorific then."

Ever since witnessing his master's "fall" a few days ago, Mo Qianyun is no longer so shy.

She did not hide her affection for Aarons, but she also said quite seriously that "I am not qualified yet." As for when she can cross the threshold in her heart, that is her own business.

Outsiders didn't have any special thoughts about her - after all, the servants around Aarons were all incredibly powerful and had the right to freely choose their masters.

No one dares to interfere in such a matter where both parties are willing... If it's too light, you'll be choked to death by the dog food you stuffed into your mouth, and if it's too serious, you might get a beating.

"I just want to ask you a question. Since you are now my servant, I may give you some orders that go against your will in the future. If this really happens, what will you do?"

This is actually a very serious matter of principle.

Because Mo Qianyun's character is very upright, almost to the point where it can be regarded as a kind of "Dao heart". Although Aarons did not want to deliberately destroy her beliefs, it is inevitable that such things will happen in the future.

So when that time comes, the question is what Mo Qianyun will do.

"My Lord... Since I have already accepted you as my Lord, your orders must be correct. If it is for you, I will not hesitate even if I fall into evil ways."

“…That’s not necessary.”

Mo Qianyun's answer did not surprise Aarons.

She might have felt lost when she was alone in the past, but now she has found the signpost pointing to the future, and of course she will have to make some trade-offs.

However, Aarons still hopes that she can stick to her original intention - so he must shoulder this responsibility.

"Then let it be - I will bear your sins and evil thoughts, and you will be the sword in my hand to cut off those enemies for me."
