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

After Klia took Xia Ye and Kuran away from the new base, an "investigation team" led by Duke Oufei entered the town.

Since the two sides had already greeted each other, the Kulan mercenary group that stayed in the town took the initiative to gather the troops after the other party arrived.

However, when the fox girl Li Yue, who was the acting leader, saw the Duke in person, she suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression.

I am clearly a magician who is close to level five, so why would I be afraid of a man who seems to have no power?

"Are you the acting leader of Li Yue? I am Moruo Oufei, the Duke of the Empire."

"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke... I have heard from Her Royal Highness the Princess about your visit here."

"I have roughly understood the situation. This town will be taken over by me from now on. You can continue to stay here or find another place to stay."

Although Duke Oufei looks to be only in his thirties, his icy cold, calm and solid temperament makes people feel as if he has already experienced countless hardships.

——What’s wrong with this man?

"Your Excellency the Duke, we have to wait here for Her Royal Highness the Princess to return... Please allow us to continue to stay in the town."

"It doesn't matter."

Because of the complete inequality in status, Li Yue had no way to continue communicating with the Duke.

However, she still secretly observed the "investigation team" brought by the Duke - in addition to a large number of combatants, this team of nearly a hundred people also included many people who looked like scholars.

Why bring someone like this here?

"Li Yue is calling Her Royal Highness the Princess... Can you hear me?"

Considering that the arrival of Duke Oufei was a big event, the fox girl Li Yue immediately used the magic communicator to convey the information to Cliya.

However, somewhat surprisingly, the princess and her companions did not seem to receive her call.

"Did something happen..."

Because the atmosphere in the dukedom was indeed a bit weird, Li Yue did not dare to act on her own. After gathering the mercenary group, she stayed in the town and guarded the truck left by Keliya.

It is said that these trucks are not powered by magic - for their small team of only a few dozen people, such convenient vehicles are simply a dream treasure.

Just as Li Yue was daydreaming, another strange man suddenly approached them.

"Excuse me, is this the Princess's residence? I'm Mudd from the Star Seekers, and I've met Her Highness once before."

When this man who was as handsome as Kuran, and even more calm and bookish, appeared before him, the knowledgeable Li Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——Why are all these men's faces so good-looking? !

Both Kuran and Duke Oufei were among the best looking men, and this newcomer was no less handsome than them.

"I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness is not here right now. If you have anything to say, please tell me first and I will pass it on to Her Royal Highness."

“Not here? That’s troublesome… Who is the person in charge here now?”

"Yes... Lord Duke Oufei."

Li Yue originally wanted to say that she was the person in charge, but when she remembered that Duke Oufei had just taken over the town, she directly gave the Duke's title.

If there is something really important, there should be no problem in telling the Duke.

"Then please help me introduce him. I have something important to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Since Claire did not tell anyone else about the infiltration, Li Yue did not know who this man named Mude was.

And this man did look very anxious. Perhaps he really had something urgent to report.

"Come with me."

Because all the important people were not there, Li Yue was not too worried about safety issues - even if this person had bad intentions, he would only hurt Duke Oufei at most.

And Her Royal Highness seems to dislike the Duke very much.

"Um, may I ask what is the relationship between the young lady and Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"I'm just a mercenary, ordered to guard the town."

"…They are just mercenaries."

For some reason, Li Yue always felt that there seemed to be some disappointment in the other party's tone.

Although she was used to being looked down upon by others as an alien mercenary, this man gave her a different feeling.

"My Lord, a guest said he had something to tell Her Royal Highness. He seemed very anxious, so I brought him to you first."

"I know, let him in."

After getting permission, Li Yue introduced the handsome man with scholarly appearance to the cold-hearted Duke.

Although it should be a very pleasing sight to see two handsome men with different styles together, after the two met, Li Yue always felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Mercenaries were not qualified to listen in on conversations of this level, so Li Yue left the room very respectfully after completing the introduction - but she still used her expertise in wind magic to quietly leave a gap by the window that could transmit sound.

"Hmm... Are you Lord Duke Ophir? I am a member of the Star Seeking Brigade of the Covenant Alliance. I am here to tell Her Royal Highness something important."

"Is that so? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I am the princess's full-powered agent."

Duke Oufei did not actually obtain authorization from Claire, but he did not hesitate at all when he told this lie - the cold and ruthless attitude of a superior was enough to make anyone feel an invisible pressure.

"Well, actually... because it involves some of Her Royal Highness's secrets, so... I can only tell you part of it."

"It's okay, just tell me."

"Duke Booker plans to betray the Empire. He intends to completely cut off the supply of magic source stones and then declare independence in the territory."

In fact, Keliya had thought about this question before, but she denied this speculation in front of everyone at that time.

[Although Duke Booker is a businessman who will take risks for profit, he knows very well that he is just a parasite of the empire. If he is separated from the powerful empire, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the chaos.]

Because Duke Booker is a businessman, he would never do something stupid with low returns and high risks like rebellion. Before, Claire publicly accused him of possible treason, but it was just a strategy.

So the information provided by this person may not be true.

"Wow... do you have any evidence?"

"No, but I was once a guest of the Duke of Buck... I heard the Duke of Buck say so himself."

"I see. Anything else?"

Li Yue, who was eavesdropping outside, didn't know what Duke Oufei thought about this matter, but the communication between the two had ended there.

"As for the rest... I will visit you again after Her Royal Highness the Princess returns."
