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

"I roughly understand the situation. Princess, how is your health now?"

With the high-speed flight of Spider Cherry, Xia Ye arrived at Keliya's side in just half a day.

As the top think tank in the Aarons family, it has become a consensus among everyone to ask Xia Ye when in doubt - when Clary met Xia Ye, her originally uneasy mood calmed down a lot.

"Sister Xia Ye, I'm not a princess... There's no need to call me that."

"Your Highness, even if what Duke Booker said is true, as long as His Majesty the Emperor does not publicly deny your identity, you are still a princess."

Karin had actually said this before, but when Xia Ye repeated it again, it became more convincing.

Claire really doesn't need to worry about her identity now - even if Duke Booker really reveals these secrets to the public, as long as the royal family does not acknowledge them, it will only arouse some suspicion at most.

Because the princess has no right to inherit the throne, even if she is not the emperor's biological daughter, it will not ultimately affect the nobles and princes.

"Duke Booker only thinks that your talent has some value, so he joined forces with the great nobles to force a marriage. But he has now lost an heir, and even if he finally gets you, it probably won't make up for the loss."

No matter how tempting the princess's title and talent are, Duke Booker, who has already suffered heavy losses, probably doesn't want to take any more risks.

"So as long as you don't openly oppose him, he shouldn't do anything to you for the time being."

"But he may still seek revenge on his husband... If he finds the 'Child of the Star', he will get a super magic source furnace that does not need any supplies at all."

"Then there are only two countermeasures I can offer you at the moment. First, continue to secretly destroy the Duke's assets and buy time for the young master as much as possible. Second, make your conflict with the Duke's public, take the risk of losing your identity as a princess, and force the Duke's family to show all their cards without being prepared."

Both strategies have their pros and cons - the risk of acting in secret is lower, and Claire does not have to worry about losing her identity as a princess, but on the other hand, the loss to the Duke's family will not be too great.

If he directly revealed his cards and turned the table over, Duke Booker would have to deal with Claire's full-force attack without being fully prepared - if a strong man really went on a killing spree without any scruples, even if he was eventually stopped, the damage caused would be incalculable.

Moreover, Klia has Karin and Zhuying, terrifying fighters with strength exceeding level five. If you want to stop them, you will probably need at least two regular legions of troops.

"Although it sounds like the second option is more cost-effective, you must note that destroying Duke Booker's assets with all your strength is actually weakening the Empire's military strength, which is likely to cause the Empire to lose its advantage in subsequent wars."

The Duke of Booker's family not only provides logistical support for the empire's southern front, but also supplies most of the magic source stones to the entire empire.

If Klia really went to war with the Duke's family without any scruples, the energy supply of the entire empire might be affected.

The empire is now facing the dual threats of the Kingdom of Dusk and the Kingdom of Cardia. If there is a problem with the rear supply at this time, it may be unable to cope with two wars unfolding at the same time.

"It will affect the supply of magic source stones..."

The empire's greatest military advantage at present is an air fleet that consumes a huge amount of magic source stones. As long as this fleet is in a state of combat readiness, the enemy's ground forces will not be able to advance the front line in a swagger.

However, if the stable supply of magic source stones is lost, the combat effectiveness of this fleet will be severely weakened.

“…Is this the choice I have to face?”

"But no matter what you choose, we will support you - because even if you decide to sacrifice the entire empire, it has nothing to do with us."

Xia Ye certainly didn't care what would happen to the empire. For her, as long as Aarons was safe and sound, it didn't matter what happened.

Even if the empire was destroyed in the war, she would only choose to take Aarons to start over somewhere else.

"Will my husband... support me?"

"Do you mind the young master's thoughts? Then you can ask him in person. But based on my understanding of the young master, he might be more relaxed if you didn't have the identity of a princess."

Everyone knows that Aarons has always cared about his own value. He always feels that he has done too little and cannot be compared with others.

This bad habit brought from the past life is actually eroding his self-confidence. If one day he really thinks he is worthless, he may not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

"No... Never mind. Telling him something like this right now will only make him upset."

Because Aarons has now publicly announced that he will support the third prince Roland as the heir to the throne. If she loses her status as a princess at this time, Aarons might start to worry about how to treat Roland.

"I actually... don't care about this identity. For the past ten years, I could only cover my face. I wasn't living the life of a princess at all."

"Do you think the young master will abandon you because of something like this?"

"No, I'm just worried about whether I'll cause him trouble... He was the one who pulled me out of the darkness, and I don't want him to be troubled by me anymore."

Although Xia Ye already knew what kind of people Aarons and Keliya were, she confirmed this fact again today.

The essences of these two people are so similar...so it is inevitable that they are attracted to each other and become husband and wife.

"So you have decided to choose the first method? No, I think what you are going to say next is... you want to choose the second method, but everyone else must return to the young master, and you alone will bear all the responsibilities and consequences."

Before the princess could give her answer, the Aries beauty reached out and pushed her glasses up, then predicted her answer with an expressionless face.

"Sister Xia Ye, what's wrong with you?!"

"Are you still planning to say that if I lose my status as a princess, I will ask the young master to abandon you decisively... and then forget about you?"

Xia Ye, who had ruthlessly exposed what Keliya was thinking, now showed a rare angry expression.

"If you really intend to do such a thing, I will have to slap you in the face to wake you up."

"……sorry."

Of course Xia Ye knew what Keliya was thinking—because she and Aarons were so similar.

Sacrificing oneself for the other person's happiness is extremely stupid in Xia Ye's opinion.

"Since you really think so, I have no choice but to give you a third option."
