The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 411 Actors on the Stage
After Shiratori forcefully intervened in the battlefield and demonstrated his strength to both sides of the war, the situation on the battlefield quickly calmed down.
The two princes stopped fighting tacitly. They not only established a ceasefire buffer zone on the plains outside the imperial capital, but also publicly expressed their intention to negotiate with each other.
...It was as if it was really Shiratori who mediated this battle that should never have started.
"——If that's the case, it's hell."
Three days had passed since the white bird had appeared and shot down four Imperial warships with irresistible bombardment, semi-forcing the warring parties to stop fighting.
Aarons has been staying on the bridge almost all the time these days, and when he is very sleepy, he will just lean back in his chair and take a nap.
Even though his body was extremely tired, he managed to rely on his strong mental strength to keep his brain clear - the situation could change at any time and he had no time to relax at all.
"Captain, according to the intelligence we obtained earlier, the two princes seem to have formally submitted a letter of intent for peace talks to each other."
"Negotiations... Those two guys want to negotiate before the fight even starts?"
The current situation is obviously a bit strange - the two princes are not the kind of people who would stop when threatened, but now they have so tacitly agreed to stop the war quickly and even announced that they would hold peace talks... Such a development is hard not to make people suspicious.
——The direction of events seems to be secretly manipulated by someone.
"In addition, we have just received invitations from two parties... They want you to be a witness and personally participate in the peace talks."
"Invite me? Oh... you are all planning to find a chance to kill all the enemies."
The two princes certainly do not really intend to negotiate. They are most likely planning to use the negotiations to directly eliminate their opponents.
And the special invitation to Aarons to participate in the peace talks was probably also to test the strength of the White Bird.
"Forget it. Even though I know it's a trap, I have to jump in."
At present, the whereabouts of the third prince is still unknown. Even if Shiratori can kill the two princes directly, the empire will not be able to restore normal order, and it may even become more chaotic.
Duke Oufei, who has not taken any action so far, is probably planning something - Aarons must be on guard against this.
"What time and place?"
"An area has been marked out at the main gate of the Imperial City... Are you planning to go down there yourself?!"
After realizing that Aarons was planning to take risks, the navigator in charge of communications couldn't help but exclaim, and his voice also attracted the attention of others.
And Zhu Ying, who was on duty on the bridge, quietly contacted other people who were not present.
"I don't intend to die, but no one can do this for me."
"Can't we send someone else?"
"Oh, if I don't go, those two guys will definitely give up the peace talks immediately."
The ultimate goal of the two princes is to eliminate all opponents, and the purpose of this peace talk is just to get the White Bird who intervened in the battle out first.
However, Aarons' goal was not as simple as killing the two princes - he had to deal with these two opponents in the safest way possible to prevent the continued collapse of the little order left in the empire, and ultimately allow the third prince to ascend the throne smoothly.
Because of the complicated additional conditions, he absolutely cannot act on impulse.
"If all the world's problems could be solved by violence, humanity would have perished long ago."
Strength is not omnipotent - Aarons, who has no power, is more aware of the importance of this.
However, before he could tell them his next plan, the female group who were on duty in various places on the ship suddenly came to the bridge together.
"Master...Captain, I heard that you are planning to get off the ship again. Where are you going this time?"
The one who questioned Aarons in a rather cold tone was Xia Ye, whose mood had been a bit off recently.
After hearing this obviously unfriendly tone, Aarons's forced tense spirit finally cracked.
"Of course I'm going to attend the peace talks. This is an invitation sent to me by the other party. Wouldn't it be too rude if I didn't go?"
"Don't you value your life at all? We will never agree to this—"
"……Shut up."
When the cold voice, accompanied by a spiritual wave like a strong wind, swept across the entire bridge, everyone stopped moving in fear.
This was the first time they saw another side of "Aarons".
"You just want me to sit there out of reach of everything and accomplish nothing like a real piece of shit?"
Someone who has always been wearing the shell of Aarons Moti and playing the ideal role in the eyes of others finally showed a corner of his true self from the crack.
"If that's the case, then leave here immediately and find another puppet to play your house game with."
The violent mental force seemed to have substance, making everyone present feel an intense sense of oppression as if they were suffocating.
...Is that Aarons' hidden power? No, Aarons Moti shouldn't have this kind of power.
Mental power is not some special power, it is just the ability to control power - when fighting warriors and magicians release their power, they actually use mental power to manipulate and control it.
But Aarons clearly has no power, so why does he possess such a strong and growing mental power?
"What on earth are you——"
"Since no one is going to support me, I'll have to ask you to take a rest first."
It was only at this point that they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Aarons was deliberately summoned to this world - he was a force introduced from outside by the planet in order to solve some unknown problem.
He, who was supposed to complete this task, was trapped in a powerless body and forced to play a role that had nothing to do with him.
So, what kind of wishes does he really have?
"——This time, I won't make the same mistake again."
Accompanied by a completely unheard-of alien language, the suffocating and violent mental power turned into a false illusion at this moment.
But this time, no one could escape from this illusion.
"I must succeed... on my own."
……
——In the neon-lit city, heavy rain and lightning poured down, making the streets that should have been bustling seem extremely lonely and empty.
And under the light and rain, there was only an ordinary man who was struggling to move forward, his steps staggering and shaky, as if he might fall to the ground and fall asleep at any time.
"I failed again..."
"I can't succeed no matter what I do. Is there really any meaning in living?"
“…Hahahaha! It would be better to just die right away!”
After letting out a crazy laugh towards the sky, the man fell to the ground, letting the heavy rain wash over his body and the mud soak his clothes.
——He is an incompetent person and will fail in the end no matter what he does.
Even though there were always people who said, "It's not your fault" or "We will take responsibility together," to him, it was actually an insult like a mockery and ridicule.
Because it means that no matter how hard he has tried, he is still a loser.
"There are winners and there are losers... and I can only stay in the loser bracket?"
No one could answer this question, and no one could pull him out of this quagmire.
——Because his life has quietly come to an end.
