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

"Before we get down to business, why don't you try on some clothes first, young master? I also made one for you yesterday."

"And my share? Then I'll give it to you first."

Since revealing her true identity, Xia Ye no longer deliberately uses humble terms, which makes her, who appears expressionless most of the time, a little more approachable.

After the three of them returned to the study, Aarons immediately got his own clothes - it was a long coat similar to a windbreaker, the style was very similar to those in his previous life, but the surface decoration and details were in the imperial style.

"Oh, this fabric feels really nice."

"Please try it first."

——After putting on this new outfit, Aarons’ temperament improved a lot.

His appearance is the type that seems unremarkable at first glance, but becomes more and more charming the more you look at him. After putting on this low-key yet luxurious outfit, he looks more like a handsome and melancholy nobleman.

Although she didn't know what outsiders would think, after seeing Aarons now, Karin's cheeks not only turned red and her ears trembled, but even her tail began to wag excitedly.

"In general, I referred to the style in your memory and added some traditional elements of the empire. The decoration above imitated the aristocratic style I had seen before, and..."

When talking about her personal hobbies, Xia Ye's tone became much more enthusiastic. In order to show respect, Aarons did not interrupt her explanation.

After carefully looking at his current appearance in front of the mirror in the study, Aarons silently thanked the unfortunate young master in his heart.

——Although there is almost nothing good about him in other places, the unlucky guy still looks pretty good.

"…I'm sorry, I said too much. Are you satisfied with this dress?"

"Of course, I feel like I can wear it as formal wear."

"I also used weaving magic to add several layers of protection inside. This piece of clothing should be able to protect you from one or two attacks from level three fighting spirit or magic."

Although Xia Ye only knows this one magic, it has unexpectedly many uses and functions - Aarons even feels that she can use this magic to create something that does not exist in this world.

"Let me ask you a question, I don't need to pay extra for this dress, right?"

"Protecting your safety is also part of my job at the Marquis's house, so it's already included in my monthly salary. You only have to pay me extra when you order me for your own personal matters, so don't worry too much."

"How can I not worry? It is directly related to my physical and mental health."

Even though this young body was quite eager for close contact with the opposite sex, Aarons still didn't dare to give himself up easily.

"If you don't have confidence in yourself, you can also find an opportunity to practice with Miss Karin first."

"Hmm? Eh? I, I, I, you want me to practice with you? No... no problem!"

"Okay, can we talk business first?"

It seemed like the people in this world had no reserve at all about that kind of thing - this made Aarons, whose mental age was actually that of a middle-aged uncle, feel a little embarrassed.

"There are still about twenty days before I am summoned by the emperor, and I must make some achievements during this time, at least to keep control of this city and several nearby towns."

As Aarons spoke, he took out the map of the Marquisate he had obtained earlier. Xia Ye and Karin immediately walked to the desk and carefully observed the various details on the map.

"The city hall of this Moti city will remain neutral on the surface, but if I can keep the territory, they will turn to support me. However, other places have now entered a state of de facto independence and will definitely not heed my orders."

Aarons drew a circle on the map with his hand, marking the territory that was now friendly to him.

However, Xia Ye immediately pointed to a place outside the circle, diverting Aarons' attention there.

"Master, do you know anything about this magic source stone mine?"

"Well... the information the city office gave me said that this mine can still produce about three tons of magic source stones every month. Based on the current price, it has a net profit of about fifteen gold coins per month."

——The measurement units in this world are not much different from those in Aarons’ previous life. Although there are some differences in the formal names, the abbreviations are the same, which makes it a lot easier for Aarons to speak.

"This place is not far from your current sphere of influence. You should prioritize regaining control of this mine."

"Well... But if I want them to hand over their profits to me, I have to make sure they listen to me... To put it simply, I need to beat them into submission."

Even if Aarons took the initiative to go over and claim his ownership of the mine, those people would most likely ignore a useless person who had no power at all.

So if you want them to be obedient, you have to use the most primitive method.

"You have more than a hundred gold coins at your disposal. You can go out and recruit a mercenary group to help you deal with this problem. It won't be too late to hire new security and management personnel after you gain control of the mine."

"That's a good idea indeed... Karin, do you have any suggestions?"

"I know a lot about the mercenary group. I can help you with the entire hiring process. I can also check your qualifications and credibility."

Although some mercenaries with bad conduct do have the risk of betraying their employers, most mercenaries only do their work for money, and the longer their experience, the less likely they are to joke with their own reputation.

"Very good, then follow this plan and take back control of the mine first. Then Karin and Xia Ye, the matter of recruiting mercenaries will be left to you, is that ok?"

"Please rest assured that we will complete this task within three days."

After finally acting like a boss again, Aarons regained a lot of confidence.

Although Karin is unable to exert her full strength and Xia Ye is a dangerous time bomb, they are the only subordinates Aarons can rely on now.

——How to manage employees with strong personalities was one of the challenges that Aarons liked in his previous life.

"I'll study the specific procedures. You two can go about your business first."

"Then Master, we will take our leave now."

Aarons finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two foreign beauties bow to him and then leave the room.

If he always had to stay in the same room with these two charming beauties, he didn't have the confidence that he could suppress his desires for long.

……

The two women who walked out of the Marquis' study together were also talking about Aarons.

"It's not that I can't trust you, Miss Xia Ye...but I still can't easily accept what you said last night."

"If I weren't a demon from another world, I probably wouldn't be able to accept it."

After hearing her colleague's doubts, the expressionless Aries Witch reached out and pushed her glasses again.

"But since the young master has shown me so many interesting things, it would be against my principles if I can't repay him well."
