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

The action was successful.

The royal family of Cadia did not anticipate that the defenses of the royal city, which they were so proud of, would be breached, so they died in vain - they paid the price for their greed and ignorance, and the fate of Cadia would be rewritten.

But, is what you are doing right?

"I am the leader, so I have to take all the responsibility... Even if I have to do something that is not right, it is my decision."

Standing in front of the memorial tablet at the core of the cabin, Aarons looked at the name engraved on the tombstone, with all kinds of emotions flashing through his mind.

In my previous life, I always rushed to the front because I was afraid that my decisions would bring harm to those who followed me...so I ended up taking all the responsibility for the failure.

And in this world, there are still people following me.

"…So, what else can I do?"

My command is not completely invincible. If someone dies because of my mistake in the future, there will be more names on this tombstone.

So, what else do I need to do?

"Master... you are here indeed."

Before he knew it, he could suddenly smell the presence of another person behind him - and the reassuring feeling and very refreshing fragrance also soothed Aarons' spirit.

That was Xia Ye - the person who had been with him from the very beginning and had an extremely close relationship with him.

"All personnel have returned. Only two people suffered some scratches. The rest are fine."

"Okay, how's Claire doing?"

"Her Highness is a little angry because the commandos had planned to forcefully pursue the target without ammunition, so she is giving those people a lecture."

Her Royal Highness certainly cares about the crew - but her approach is more direct.

If the battle continues, more people will surely fall on the road ahead. And every person who dies will become a burden that Aarons cannot get rid of.

So Klia will support Aarons in her own way, just as she always does.

"This is their first battle, and the ship doesn't have all the ammunition and equipment. So there's no need to criticize them. We'll be fine next time."

"Master, do you know what the first sentence His Highness used to scold them was..."

As if she had already expected what Aarons would say - Xia Ye first sighed helplessly, then walked quietly to his side and leaned her body against him.

This was an intimate act that Xia Ye had only recently started to perform after facing her true heart.

"Your Highness, tell them that even if nothing goes wrong, you will still bear a great psychological burden... If they really want to share your worries, they must strictly follow every order."

"That's right."

Aarons was actually thinking about something else.

Sitting in the safest place and commanding others to fight for your own ideas - is this really the right thing to do?

The reason people follow him is certainly not to watch him hide behind and let others die.

"I'll go somewhere else first, we can talk later."

"Master... I understand. Please feel free to do as you please."

After seeing through Aarons' confusion, Xia Ye was no longer obsessed with accompanying him temporarily, but watched him leave the secret room where the memorial tablet was placed, and finally let out a soft sigh.

Aarons hasn't actually changed.

……

"Here...oh, it's time to eat."

It is difficult to see the outside situation directly on the ship, so lights are used in the cabin to simulate the current time.

It was actually approaching evening now - most crew members would take turns going to the specially set up mess hall for meals according to the scheduled order.

The daily consumption of a thousand people is not a small number, so most of the huge space inside the ship is used to store various supplies. However, it is also because of this that this ship can allow so many people to stay in the sky for a long time.

"Marquis...Oh no, Captain? Why are you here?"

"Just walking around, don't worry about me."

When Aarons walked into the cafeteria, many people were surprised and astonished at his sudden arrival.

After all, Aarons was the highest commander here, and he shouldn't have come to such a place even if he wanted to eat. But Aarons not only came here alone, but also casually took a simple meal that only crew members would eat, and casually sat in an empty seat.

"Well, it tastes good."

A simple meal consisting of seasoned staple foods like mashed potatoes and common vegetables, plus a sizeable portion of roasted meat, can indeed provide the crew with sufficient nutrition and restore their physical strength.

"Captain, can we sit over here?"

"Oh, it's Locke... please sit down."

It was indeed difficult to remember the names of all the crew members, but Aarons would take the initiative to call out their names as long as he knew them.

This is what he felt he had to do.

"Well, I'm very sorry. We did something bravado before..."

Although he was a demon who had never come into contact with human society, Locke had adapted to many human habits and rules in a short period of time.

And those who came with him were also human comrades who had fought with him in the previous operation.

"No, there was something wrong with my instructions. I shouldn't have sent you to pursue at that time. I won't make the same mistake again."

Aarons' tone was quite calm, but that was only because he was still thinking about his own shortcomings. But in the eyes of others, he was now a completely different person.

——He carries the lives of everyone on his shoulders and walks carefully in front. He chooses to do his best alone to prevent those who follow him from falling on the road. He is a truly strong man.

The words that Her Royal Highness the Princess said when she scolded them before were actually a true reflection of Aarons.

"Although I don't understand so many big principles, but we understood it from the first time we met you...As long as we follow you, we can keep going no matter what happens."

Is he such a great man? Aarons is not sure.

But looking at the admiration and praise from the ordinary people sitting next to him, Aarons felt that his efforts were not in vain.

"I understand. Next time I will come up with a strategy that will ensure everyone comes back alive."

That's right, I'm not fighting for profit or reputation.

My fight is only to protect those who are willing to follow me, and only to not disappoint those who believe in me - that's all.

"Only this one thing, I keep my word."
