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

Although Claire set a preliminary goal, her first priority was to meet Duke Booker.

After all, before leaving, he had publicly stated that he would go to the Duke's house to express his condolences. If he hung around outside for too long, it would inevitably cause criticism from others.

"Heh... there's nothing to talk about anyway. I just want to go see what state the old guy is in."

"Your Highness, how about the three of us go there first? As long as we control the fuel processing vehicle, those people won't be able to run far even if they want to."

Most of the people in the team are just honorary nobles who rent these trucks just to make money. If they can't make money in this way, they will have no loyalty.

Of course, Claire understood this truth, and she also knew that honorary nobles were actually more snobbish than ordinary people - so she did not hesitate and directly gave orders to the convoy.

"All trucks will stay in this village for the time being. If you can get a transport order here, you can go on your own. I will be back in two days, and then I will take you to a place where you can make more money."

Since Her Royal Highness the Princess had spoken directly, the honorary nobles certainly did not dare to have any opinions.

After briefly explaining to her trusted non-commissioned officers in charge of the fuel trucks what they needed to pay attention to, Klia drove away from the bustling village with Karin and Zhuying.

"Sister Karin, what are you and Zhuying practicing recently?"

"Because Miss Qianyun can now complete the work of guarding the young master and taking care of daily affairs by herself, we decided to change our roles... Well, I can't explain what it is specifically, just think of it as us practicing a combined skill."

"Combination technique? It sounds very powerful..."

Because Klia had often done combat training with the two of them before, she was very familiar with their fighting styles.

Karin can control spiritual power freely. She only needs to release a large amount of spiritual power when attacking to destroy the defense of fighting spirit or magic.

Spider Sakura, on the other hand, relies purely on her own weight and speed to attack her opponent. Even if the opponent has made preparations for defense in advance, he will be quickly consumed by the continuous and intense impact.

"Report. What we practiced was indeed a fusion technique. After the fusion, I will decompose my body and temporarily stack it on this guy, mimicking and transforming into other forms to exert a stronger power."

——At this time, the cherry-haired maid who was flying side by side with the off-road vehicle explained specifically to Claire.

Because Clary had seen the alien spider-like body of Zhuying, she could roughly imagine what the so-called fusion meant.

"So you can change into other forms and let Sister Karin get in and drive?"

"That's about it. If Your Highness wants to see it, we'll show it to you later when we have the chance."

"There will definitely be a chance...ah, I really want to just tear down that old guy's house!"

Because such an action would definitely bring trouble to Aarons, all Claire could do now was to satisfy her craving for mercy.

……

After driving for a whole night, Klia finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Dukedom.

The Dukedom was more than three times larger than the Border Territory, and most of the cities here were built around the magic source stone veins. But Booker City was built in a place without any resources, and even water and food had to be shipped out.

This might be the arrogance of the Duke's family - their wealth is indeed great enough to allow a city like this to operate stably.

"Oh, this place looks even more impressive than the Imperial City."

"The outer city circle of the imperial capital was designed and built by the Booker family... and they also took advantage of the opportunity to obtain a lot of industries."

A family that is extremely good at business will certainly not miss any way to make money.

The power of the Booker family has already penetrated every corner of the empire. Without them, the basic operation of the empire will be in trouble.

"Although I really want to kill this whole family, without them, the empire will be in chaos."

Unless Claire can ensure that a puppet can take the throne, the members of this family really cannot be killed indiscriminately - once the Booker family completely collapses, many industries in the empire will quickly collapse.

The massive unemployment and inflation that would then result would quickly bring down the empire.

"It doesn't look like there's going to be any memorial service in this city... You can't park your car outside, just drive inside."

Although she expected that she might be stopped outside by the guards for inspection, as soon as Claire drove the car to the entrance, a group of people dressed as servants walked up directly.

"Your Highness, welcome to Booker City. The Duke has been waiting for you at his mansion for a long time. Please allow us to show you the shortcut to the Duke's mansion."

These people have been waiting for me here for a long time?

Looking at these servants who were dressed in strict uniform and well-trained, Claire couldn't help but frown - she didn't think this was a good thing.

The other party was so attentive that he specially sent someone to wait for me, he must have other plans.

"Then lead the way."

"Pardon my rudeness, but are these the only two of your servants?"

"Just two people and one car, is that a problem?"

In order to maintain the dignity of a royal family member, Claire took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on her face - and when paired with her long boots, shorts, tank top and short-sleeved jacket, she gave people an even more uninhibited impression.

Of course, the hobby of racing is outrageous in itself.

"No... Please just follow me."

Because Karin had gotten off the car before entering the city, there was only Keliya in the car now.

The servants who were responsible for leading the way slowly walked to the front of the car and began to lead the way for Clary.

"Oh... So that's the plan."

These people did not seem to be in a hurry to take Her Royal Highness the Princess to her destination - and as they moved slowly, passers-by gradually gathered around them.

"Aren't those the Duke's servants? Who are the people in the carriage following them?"

"Hush! That should be Her Royal Highness the Princess! Didn't you see the maid and alien guards following the car?"

"Her Royal Highness is really here? Why is she here when Master William is dead? She is so shameless."

After using magic to enhance her hearing, Claire could hear the discussions of the passers-by around her.

The royal majesty means nothing here - this is the Duke of Buck's territory, and the people here will naturally think from the Duke's perspective.

Her so-called fiancé might have been killed by the man she had an affair with, but she still came to express her condolences with false affection... These people who had more or less received favors from the Duke's family would certainly not have a good opinion of her.

But at this time, Keliya was thinking about something else.

"Husband... have you always been under this kind of pressure in the past?"
