Although he wanted to do something as soon as possible to attract other people's attention, Aarons first took Mo Qianyun around the city several times.

Moreover, he deliberately acted particularly ostentatious - as if he was really a dandy young man who didn't even want to bring extra guards with him and just ran out to play.

"My Lord...will this be dangerous?"

"Definitely, but I'm just trying to entice those who want to do it."

Because the recent rumors about his discord with the princess have spread everywhere, those who were previously afraid of the royal majesty must have begun to make moves.

Even though the rules of the Battle of Glory do not allow for the arbitrary hiring of mercenaries or fighting in the city, as long as the person who took action is not caught or does not reveal the mastermind if caught, it can only be regarded as a personal grudge outside the arena.

"In fact, I have already found at least five people who want to kill me during this round... Haha, these guys' mental reactions are so strong that it's hard not to notice them."

Aarons actively exercises his mental strength almost every day, and now his search and alert range has exceeded 100 meters.

Although the burden of exerting all his mental strength was not light, it was one of the few things he could do on his own.

Since the most dangerous battles have been handed over to others, of course I have to do what I can.

"My Lord, do we need to go down and deal with these people?"

"It's okay, you should relax a little. These guys won't attack me yet. They are probably waiting for me to leave the city."

"Well... I'm still worried..."

Looking at Mo Qianyun's always tense appearance, Aarons also felt a little inexplicably tired.

So he simply dragged Mo Qianyun into a tavern on the side of the road - although this abrupt move made the other party panic immediately, Aarons didn't seem to care too much.

"If you're always so nervous, it'll be a problem when you're in trouble. Come, eat something and rest first."

Although the rumors outside were very exaggerated, the owner of the tavern was still a little excited when he met Aarons in person.

"Hey, how come the Marquis has time to patronize my little shop? What would you like to drink?"

Because Aarons is only an honorary noble, ordinary people don't respect him too much.

After all, there is really not much difference between honorary nobles and ordinary people. The family conditions of some honorary barons are not even as good as those of ordinary city residents.

For someone like Aarons who has no fighting ability and no territory, it doesn't mean much even if his nominal title is high.

"Forget about the wine, give me some juice... and two barbecue sets."

Since Aarons paid quite happily, the tavern owner would not go against the money.

Soon, two large glasses of mixed juice and large plates of grilled meat and vegetables were served - although this kind of small shop mostly uses cheap ingredients, the taste after careful preparation is very tempting.

"Okay, stop being so tense, and eat something with me first."

"Lord, this..."

"It won't be dangerous. I'm watching."

Aarons was still very cautious. He had actually been using his mental power to monitor the tavern owner. Only after confirming that the other party had not tampered with the food did he start eating with peace of mind.

Ordinary poisons don't have much effect on people who have fighting spirit and magic power constantly running in their bodies, so few people would use this kind of thing to plot against others.

Although Aarons has only a trace of fighting spirit in his body, his patience is much better than that of ordinary people.

"Qianyun, have you ever been plotted against by others before?"

"There were a few times... but I didn't suffer any loss in the end."

After watching the beautiful female guard carefully take off her mask and begin to taste the food in front of her cautiously, Aarons began to ask about her situation.

Although he had read her memories before, those memories were all taken away by Xia Ye afterwards - so Aarons actually didn't know much about Mo Qianyun's past experiences.

"My Lord, I heard from Teacher Xia Ye that some of my memories were actually modified by you."

"She already told you... Yes, because your memories were almost erased by ancient magic, I transferred them out."

It was during this process that a small part of his thoughts uncontrollably infiltrated Mo Qianyun's memory. And this might be the reason why she had such special feelings for him.

"Since you know everything, I must tell you... I didn't actually exist in your past life. The parts of your memories related to me are actually not real."

Aarons didn't want to use this to deceive Mo Qianyun's feelings, so he told the truth directly.

But Mo Qianyun was not shaken by this. She stared at Aarons' face seriously for a long time, until Aarons felt a little guilty, and then she finally expressed her thoughts.

"Master once told me that perhaps the memories I saw were things I really experienced in another world... So I don't think those things are false."

Is this the theory of parallel worlds?

"No, what your master said is just..."

"I understand what you mean, my lord... The reason why I admire you is not because your shadow is mixed in my past memories. You were willing to take me in when I was penniless and homeless, and I had already decided to dedicate my life to you."

"It's too heavy... I mean, I'm not an outstanding person. You still have a long life ahead of you, maybe you can meet someone better."

This is actually a hurdle that Aarons himself has never been able to overcome.

He always felt that he was nothing special and was not worthy of these outstanding women - so sometimes he had a feeling that even if he really disappeared one day, they would quickly find a better replacement.

Now they still stay with me, perhaps just because they haven't met someone more suitable yet.

"No, my Lord... maybe there are indeed people in the world who are better than you, but I will never even look at such people."

However, looking at Mo Qianyun's serious expression, Aarons also thought of what she had said before.

The Magician's Guild had never recognized her abilities, and even those famous magicians who were renowned throughout the continent were unwilling to give her the status of a formal magician.

Those people are indeed better than me, but their vision is far worse.

"It's just that the guys you met before were all brainless idiots... maybe someone will recognize your talent in the future. Once you meet such a person, it won't be too late for you to make a choice."

"My Lord...it turns out what Teacher Xia Ye said before was true."

Because Mo Qianyun's voice was very soft when speaking the second half of the sentence, Aarons did not hear it clearly.

But he really didn't care much about such things - after all, in his previous life, he had already recognized his own worth.

"Heh... maybe those rumors out there will come true one day."
