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

Claire had no idea what she was doing.

As if to temporarily close her heart, she devoted herself to the forced postponement of Armand VIII's succession ceremony after that day.

The disaster in Moti City has actually just begun. People who are dominated by the fear of death will not return to normal so easily.

“…There are more people fleeing.”

People are fleeing the city and the country every day.

Much of the Empire was still burning, and the roads to Cadia had never thawed.

Therefore, the only direction they could escape to was the Principality of Corinth, which was not affected too much by the civil war in the empire.

But the young emperor did not stop these people from escaping.

"If this continues, the foundation of the empire will be..."

——I can’t give up yet.

I must make the empire prosperous again and let people remember who is the reason why they have a good life.

This wish must come true... No, do I really want to realize this wish?

Is this really what I wish for?

"Your Highness, excuse me for disturbing you."

A familiar voice came from the door, interrupting Claire's confused and rigid thoughts.

Since many people have left in the past few days, the only one who can come to find him in the base without notifying him is Jiang Yue.

"Teacher Jiangyue, what happened to you?"

It was indeed the Sage Jiangyue herself who walked into the room from outside...but her outfit, which was completely different from before, surprised Keliya a little.

——The sadness and haggardness that had always lingered on his face had disappeared, and the simple laboratory robe he wore everyday had been replaced with a white knight's dress with a single cape.

The two undisguised branch-shaped dragon horns on her head and the slender dragon tail that almost touched the ground also emitted a soft glow.

"I am planning to leave here, Your Highness."

"Leave...Are you going to seek revenge on those people like Sister Xia Ye and the others?"

Karin, Xia Ye and Zhu Ying had left two days ago with some volunteers.

——They are going to hunt down the man who killed Aarons and make him pay a thousand times for his crime.

"No... Miss Yalu hasn't woken up yet?"

"Alu, it seems like she's gathering strength for something, so she fell into a deep sleep... I don't know when she'll wake up, but it shouldn't be too long."

"I see. I actually wanted to talk to her before I left, but... I don't have the chance, so forget it."

Yalu, the core of the Star Beast, fell into an unexplained sleep after that night - but unlike Aarons, her consciousness did not disappear from her body, and she was still emitting regular fluctuations of mental power.

So Klia was not too worried about her problem. She just put her into the white bird which had already started to dismantle and seal various equipment, and waited for her to wake up.

"Teacher Jiangyue, what are you going to do next?"

"I don't belong to this country, nor do I have any feelings for it - I told you this a long time ago, right?"

Although Jiang Yue has the status of an honorary noble, she has never considered herself as a member of the Armand Empire.

Before coming here, she had actually been traveling all over the continent. If her favorite student hadn't met the person she loved here, she wouldn't have stayed in this country for a long time.

"You know, I'm not actually a smart person. I was able to achieve those results only because I have more time than ordinary people to think constantly and try and fail repeatedly."

——The sage who created magic technology for human civilization never thought that he possessed extraordinary wisdom.

"So I want to find the answers...I want to understand the mistakes we made, I want to explore the truth that has been hidden, and I want to make a choice that I won't regret."

"Does the answer... really still make sense?"

"Because I don't know whether my guess is correct, so I can't give you any hints... I am actually the same as you and those who have left. Only by finding the answers to those questions yourself can we understand what they really mean."

Looking at Keliya, who still had a dazed look but seemed to have started thinking again, Jiangyue couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her face.

Everyone’s answer may be different, but as long as they have not given up pursuing that answer, they will definitely meet again in the future.

"Your Highness, I believe you will soon figure out what you want. Then we will definitely meet again."

"Really... Then Teacher Jiangyue, please take care of yourself."

"Well, see you again, Claire."

So, the sage, dressed lightly, left the dreamland where he had left many beautiful memories and embarked on a journey of knowledge to find answers.

……

……

……

Night, unknown land.

The man opened his eyes and saw a strange tent roof with a light hanging on it.

...Where is this place? No, there is no need to worry about this question now.

"...Wake up, little one."

"Ah, how long have I slept?"

"Six and a half days. How is it? Have you fully adapted to your body?"

It seemed that a certain woman who had been sitting next to the man started talking to him as soon as he woke up.

The man now recalled the reason why he was sleeping so soundly.

"It's okay. Although I'm still a little uncomfortable psychologically with suddenly becoming 20 years younger, this body is now perfectly matched with my soul."

"Ha, now that you're awake, let's go out and get something to eat... Don't forget, there's an unexpected little problem that you need to solve."

The woman, wrapped in a heavy robe with only her messy blonde hair and mature beauty revealed, gave the man a wild and dangerous smile like a beast.

However, the man did not react excessively to the woman's frivolous attitude. Instead, he nodded respectfully as if he was treating an elder, then got up and followed her out of the tent.

The starry sky at night is still gorgeous and breathtaking, but the bonfire burning nearby slightly obscures the beautiful light.

A woman with neatly cut black hair and not particularly outstanding looks was sitting by the fire, smoking leisurely, and seemed to be enjoying this boring time very much.

The other woman, who was tall and slender, with neatly combed neck-length hair and a stern and cold face, closed her eyes as if she was meditating, and kept exhaling steadily.

"Hey, you're awake. The food is in the pot over there, just go get it yourself."

"Thanks a lot, but I'll talk to you later."

When the smoking woman started talking to the man, the meditating woman immediately opened her eyes and shifted her gaze to the man.

At the same time, the man was aware of the gaze that contained some unknown emotion, so he looked back at the other person.

"Why is this strange lady following us?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's looking for an opportunity to kill you."

"If you just want revenge, please leave as soon as possible."

Realizing that the other party had no intention of speaking, the man walked to the campfire and sat on a stool that someone had prepared in advance.

"I killed Aarons Moti for some personal reasons, and you are the servant of that young master. If you betrayed your companions and followed us just to find an opportunity to avenge your master, then I can only advise you not to waste your life."

"I have a question to ask."

"Go ahead, but I won't necessarily answer you."

The ordinary-looking man had a very calm expression at this moment, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

But the woman with a stern look first stood up and bowed to him respectfully, then knelt on one knee obediently in front of him and lowered her head like a servant.

"My Lord, can you allow me to continue to stay by your side?"

But her unexpected question made the calm man suddenly stunned.

"...Are you planning to abandon your original master right now? Humph, I don't believe in such fragile loyalty."

"I once lost my memory due to a curse. It was the Lord who re-engraved my past memories for me, allowing me to wake up from nothingness."

While talking about her past experiences, the woman slowly raised her head and looked at the man again.

There was no wavering in her gaze, nor was there any confusion or gloom.

"The master who helped me reshape my memory is also one of the participants in my memory. Whenever I recall those things, I can clearly see the master's figure."

"Wait, you mean..."

"And the master in my memory has always been the same as you are now - so, my master, I actually knew it was you from the beginning."

After hearing this unexpected answer, the man's cheeks suddenly began to twitch.

——Pfft.

The blonde woman who had been watching the interaction between the two in silence just now suddenly burst into an obvious laugh, and the black-haired woman who had been smoking not far from the two also covered her mouth, as if she was trying desperately to suppress her laughter.

"——Huh? What the hell? I actually left such a big foreshadowing for myself?"

——After a long period of silence, the man who couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time finally collapsed.

The audience's laughter also became brighter.

"Ahahahaha! I can't take it anymore. Sister, did you record this? I'm almost dying of laughter!"

"Of course I recorded it. Phew, phew - your acting just now was good, but I can only give you zero points."

"No, this... what I just did was actually, that kind of... ah forget it, I give up!"

After explaining for a few sentences incoherently as if he was exploding, the man finally squatted down with his head in his hands in shame.

The hearty laughter coming from beside him and the focused gaze in front of him made it impossible for him to maintain his previous false disguise and revealed his true side.

"Sorry, Qianyun... Let me organize my words first, and then I'll explain it to you in detail..."

The other party seemed to have anticipated such a development.

……

"Aarons Moti is indeed dead. His soul has been burned out, so his body can no longer move. So with the help of Ms. Yayin, I used the body he left behind as material to recreate a body that belongs to 'me'."

"Except that this body still belongs to Aarons Morty in concept, all other aspects are the same as my original body - blood type, skeletal structure, and even genetic factors have all been rewritten to reflect 'my' information."
