"Humph, that guy is determined to drag me down with him."

After finishing the brief communication with Duke Oufei, Aarons' mood became much worse.

Duke Oufei threatened him to join the war with the life of the third prince, and now he is indeed tied up by this matter.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to restore order in the empire as soon as possible and let the name of Aarons Moti spread throughout the empire.

Although there would be no problem in doing nothing and taking people away from the empire to avoid all the troubles, Aarons still had some obsession.

"Dark Wing, search for the whereabouts of the Third Prince as much as possible, but do not act on your own after finding him. Report to White Bird first and then wait for instructions."

[This may lead to a missed opportunity, Captain. Now that Miss Qianyun has joined Dark Wing, I hope you can give me the authority to act independently.]

Although Aarons wanted to ensure the safety of his men as much as possible, Number One had some objections to this arrangement.

[According to Miss Qianyun's request, I have entrusted her to temporarily lead the Dark Wing. So Captain, please allow me to act freely to a certain extent, which will be more efficient.]

"...Okay, I agree."

Number One has been working for the princess for a long time - it is said that she used to be an intelligence officer of the empire. After Claire was framed and disfigured, she felt guilty for not being able to foresee the situation in advance, so she resigned from the military and became the princess's personal attendant.

Because she has been using fake identities to disguise herself and collect intelligence for many years, her real name is almost unknown. Although she looks young, she is actually nearly 40 years old and can hardly be classified as a young person.

So she specifically applied to act alone, perhaps wanting to maximize her remaining value and give young people like Mo Qianyun a chance to train.

[Thank you for your understanding. I will inform you immediately if I have any clues. Dark Wing Squad, the next operation will be commanded by Captain Mo Qianyun.]

In addition to No. 1, there are actually many people around Aarons who are silently contributing.

Veterans who participated in the Cadia War, commanders who made many contributions on the southern front, and experienced people who have worked silently in inconspicuous positions for more than a decade - these talents are the foundation for winning a war and keeping a country running stably, and heroes can only be put to use with their foundation.

Not to mention, I'm not really a hero at all.

"Notify all crew members that we are changing our original plan and returning to the border for resupply. After the two parties involved in the civil strife begin a decisive battle in the imperial capital, we will enter the battlefield and defeat both parties."

Aarons didn't know what Duke Oufei was going to do, but since he had decided to intervene in this war, he had to be fully prepared.

This is what Aarons Moti must do.

……

"That's it, Miss Qianyun. Please command the Dark Wing Squad to continue operations on the ground. I will temporarily leave the team to find a way to determine the condition of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Just as Aarons gave the order to return to the border territory, the Dark Wing Squad remaining on the ground also temporarily assembled.

A woman in a dark grey bodysuit and a half-mask began the handover with the new captain amid the shadows that could be seen everywhere in the city.

"Don't worry too much. Leave the gathering of intelligence to others. Just use your power to help them solve any troubles they may encounter."

"Is that all? I can actually help collect intelligence."

"No, you just need to protect the others. This is what the captain wants... You must be careful and safe."

Although No.1 said it lightly, in fact, the most unsafe person now is her who is about to act alone.

No one knew why she left the team and acted alone - even those who had worked with her under the princess didn't know what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, it's hard for an 'ordinary person' like me to die. We'll see each other when we celebrate our victory."

Even if they don't know the reason, others will not question her awareness.

In order for Aarons and Claire to finally win the war, a small person like her must of course try her best.

"Well, take care, everyone."

When that thin figure quietly disappeared into the darkness, the other Dark Wing members immediately dispersed in all directions, as if they had never appeared.

Mo Qianyun, who had taken on a new task, looked up at the sky which was still covered by dark clouds and reaffirmed his belief.

……

"We're going to have a decisive battle in the Imperial Capital... Oh, it feels like a dream."

After Klia regained her princess personality, she sighed with some sadness after hearing that Aarons decided to intervene in the decisive battle between the two princes.

Things were moving too fast - in the summer, they were still worrying about how to carry out their engagement, but now they had to start thinking about the future of the empire after the civil war.

Is this also what is called fate? Keliya couldn't understand it at all.

"The white bird has already started to return, Your Highness...Should we go talk to the young master about what happened before?"

"If everyone has thought it through, then I have no objection. But... Sister Karin and Sister Xia Ye, you two probably haven't thought it through completely yet, right?"

Realizing that Klia had seen through their thoughts, Karin and Xia Ye turned their heads slightly and shifted their gaze to the side.

Not everyone can be as open-minded as Jiangyue, or as indecisive as Yalu.

As people who have been with Aarons from the very beginning, Karin and Xia Ye have always been bothered by the fact that "Aarons may have no attachment to this world."

Because this means that they are not something that Aarons cannot give up at all.

"...I can't accept it. If the young master was just trying to make us happy from the beginning, then what's the point of what we're doing?"

After hearing that answer, no one can be sure now whether Aarons was acting from the beginning.

His mental age is actually much older than his current physical age - a person who has long had no expectations for life may indeed have been doing things perfunctorily.

If that were the case, then they would all become self-indulgent clowns.

"No, my husband has always been serious about his feelings. I can be 100% sure of that...but I have no way of estimating how much weight this feeling carries as a bargaining chip."

Even if he is serious about the relationship, Aarons may still think that "other things are more important than feelings."

And what he had done before did hint at the existence of this tendency.

"We, or rather this world... have actually been forcing him to make a choice."

Perhaps Aarons is really beginning to get tired of the choice now.
