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

After walking around the city for a long time, Aarons and Keliya finally started to return to the Wushen Mansion in the north of the city.

Because of Claire's presence, Aarons did not encounter any more attacks from the enemy. Although that did make him a little scared, he also knew that the enemies of the Marquis' family would not even let a useless person like him go.

——This is actually a crucial piece of information. Aarons will definitely prepare preventive measures after returning, so the enemy may also reveal flaws.

"When do you plan to go back, sir?"

"Let's go back... The capital isn't very safe right now. I should go back tonight or tomorrow morning."

In order to prevent any trouble, Aarons decided to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible. With Karin and Xia Ye's protection, at least he wouldn't have to be afraid of assassins of that level.

"I see. Then we can only meet again in the Marquisate."

...Are you really planning to go?

Aarons had no idea what Claire was thinking - just like he couldn't see the face hidden under the veil.

"The border isn't as prosperous as the imperial capital. Miss Keliya might not be used to it."

"If I'm going to visit, I'll definitely let you know in advance."

...No, I feel like the other party didn't listen to what I said at all.

It was the first time that Aarons met a woman who made him feel so at a loss. She seemed to be completely unconcerned about the troubles he had mentioned before, as if those were just problems that could be easily solved.

But considering that Keliya had just dealt with the assassin who wanted to assassinate her...the competition for survival among the nobles in the imperial capital might be even more intense than he thought.

"It's almost time... Miss Keliya, do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

"Although I really want to have dinner with you, I do have something important to do later."

"Then I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Because Keliya had some personal matters to deal with, the two parted at the door of the mansion.

From beginning to end, Aarons had not figured out why the black-clad daughter took the initiative to establish a relationship with him. However, he was about to leave the imperial capital, and the possibility of the two meeting again was not very high.

Maybe this is what is called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... Although it is a bit regrettable, Aarons still has important things to do.

"Master, you are back a little late. His Excellency the God of War left for something not long ago."

After a person walked into the mansion, Xia Ye, who had been waiting in the yard, immediately came to greet him. Karin was sparring with young warriors in the martial arts field at this time - if the scene of her constantly swinging people away could be called sparring.

"It's not that I want to delay time, it's because I was almost killed."

"What... please stand still."

Xia Ye did not choose to listen to Aarons' explanation, but walked up directly and grabbed Aarons' head with his fingers.

After a vague memory of his past life flashed before his eyes, Aarons realized that Xia Ye had directly absorbed his memories of this period of time.

"Hey, next time you do this, can you please tell me in advance?"

"Because your life is at stake, I have the right to obtain intelligence in the most efficient way... How dare the enemies of the Marquis to act in the imperial capital? Are they so brazen?"

"Anyone who dares to do this...I'm afraid he must be at least a Grand Duke."

——There are three grand dukes and three princes in the empire, which is something that even the unlucky young master knows. However, there is no definite conclusion yet as to which prince will become the eighth emperor.

Although the eldest prince, as the eldest son, was the first in line to the throne, the second prince was not far behind in talent and popularity. However, the second prince had publicly expressed his support for the eldest prince to inherit the throne, which also made the competition between the two sides hidden under the table.

The third prince was only sixteen years old this year, and he was completely incomparable to his two elder brothers who were already over thirty years old. Therefore, the aristocratic circle would generally only discuss who was more capable of inheriting the throne, the eldest prince or the second prince, and would not include the third prince in the discussion.

"Are you saying that a certain Grand Duke or Prince is trying to assassinate you?"

"I don't know, maybe he's just jealous of my father or my brother. Anyway, now that you've finished reading my memories, hurry up and prepare to leave the imperial capital."

"Is Miss Claire an old acquaintance of yours?"

Xia Ye completely absorbed Aarons' memory, and of course saw how he escaped...but Aarons didn't know how to answer this question.

"You should have seen it all... The eldest young master has a lot of very vague memories, so I don't know if that young lady is someone he knew before."

Perhaps because the unlucky young master took away a lot of memories when his soul disappeared, Aarons actually couldn't recall much of the past. Even if Xia Ye could use his special ability to unravel his memory, he couldn't find any useful information.

"Then let's temporarily treat her as someone related to His Excellency the God of War. Although we should investigate her identity a little, your current situation is quite dangerous, and we can't stay here for long."

After his idea was confirmed by Xia Ye, Aarons immediately called back Karin who was still sparring with others. After informing her of the current situation, the three of them immediately left the mansion and returned to the hotel where they were staying to prepare for the return journey.

Of course, Aarons also left a short letter for Lingqing Wushen and Keliya, explaining to them the reason for his departure and expressing his gratitude.

As for what people who see the letter will think, that is none of his business.

……

The imperial city, a side hall for receiving guests.

Because he received an urgent call from the emperor, Lingqing Wushen immediately rushed to the imperial city. As a warrior who protects the country, he not only has a special passage to enter and exit the imperial city, but also has higher authority than the princes.

But this time, he already knew that he would be summoned by the emperor.

"Lingqing Wushen, when did you come? I just received a call from a spy, saying that the boy was almost assassinated in the city."

"Just arrived not long ago. What happened to that boy you just mentioned?"

When the warrior with strange spiritual green crystals on his body saw the emperor in the side hall, who looked nearly sixty years old but was actually several decades younger than himself, he just nodded without any unnecessary movements.

——To him, who had already seen off three emperors, this imperial ruler was actually just a junior.

"That guy is fine. But I asked my spies to investigate and found out that the killer was hired by Count Como, who had a feud with Marquis Moti before."

"Want to take revenge on the Marquis' family? But the Marquis' family is basically dead now, why would he send someone to take revenge on a child who poses no threat?"

"The clue ends here, but I think Count Como was probably just instigated by someone."

The real enemy of the Marquis Moti family is definitely not this kind of small character - although a count should never be called a small character.

"I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the nobles. I just want to know whether the plan I mentioned earlier is feasible."

"I think it's feasible. Although that kid doesn't know any fighting spirit or magic, he is good enough to dig out the spy who is secretly communicating with Cardia. And there is another reason why I support this plan - you are of course well aware of it."

"Then I will just sit here and wait for a good show this time... Also, you can ask other guys who have nothing to do to go over there and try it out. Maybe you can find some buried talents."

Although no one knew what they were talking about at the moment, a sense of uneasiness began to spread throughout the empire.
