"What is this... a registration form?"
"Yes, please sign it first, Marquis."
“No, no, no, Your Highness… I don’t have the strength to compete with others right now. If I sign, I won’t be able to pass it later!?”
After seeing such an outrageous proposal, Aarons could no longer maintain his previous attitude.
Sign up now? When the list of participants is released tomorrow, a guy like me who has no strength will become the target of public criticism, right?
"Hmm... If the Marquis doesn't dare to sign, then I can only report to my father that the Marquis is just a coward and is not worthy of being appointed."
"No, please wait a moment."
After Aarons restarted his crashed brain, his thoughts started working quickly.
Why did the Third Prince ask him to sign up in advance? People in the imperial capital had basically heard that the eldest son of Marquis Moti was an incompetent waste, so it was impossible for him to expect him to take back all the territories by himself.
So is it possible that someone is already prepared to join the battle on his own behalf?
"In fact, Father hopes that you will apply to withdraw three days after the official start, so that I can legitimately invite you to join the supervision team."
"Supervision Group... So that's what it is."
"In addition, as long as you can successfully spend the next two years as a special supervisor, my father will use this achievement to officially transfer this city to your name."
So this was the emperor's plan. No wonder everyone had to ask themselves if they had a marriage partner first - if their partner did not agree to withdraw from the battle, then their position would become quite embarrassing.
So he was going to be the mastermind... Aarons was secretly happy.
"That's it, Marquis, just sign it. Someone will pay for the registration fee for you."
"If both Your Highness and Your Majesty have such a request, then I will respectfully obey your orders."
"According to my father, this is just a business deal with the new marquis."
Aarons carefully checked the application form again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name at the bottom and stamped it with the Marquis' seal he carried with him.
However, he did not fill in the other items in the form, but directly returned the blank form to the third prince - the other party might intend to use this form to do something else, so he had to leave this room.
Even if this was just a deal, the price offered by the emperor had indeed made him quite satisfied.
"Then this is a deal. Sorry, I'll leave the rest to you, Marquis Aarons."
Aarons clearly heard the young prince accidentally say a strange word, but he did not understand what it meant at this time.
"Also, please be careful these two days, Marquis. There are all kinds of people in the city right now, and I can't confirm if there are any enemies lurking in it. I suggest you stay at home and don't go out these two days. I will also send the Royal Guards to help defend the Marquis's mansion."
"Thank you for your care, Your Highness. I will be careful... But I still want to ask one question."
"I know what you want to ask. We do plan to have someone participate in the battle in the name of the Marquis's fiancé. If the Marquis is interested in the future, there will be no problem in officially getting married after the battle is over, and all the captured territories will also belong to you."
This young prince was obviously very intelligent and had a very high emotional intelligence - Aarons felt a little awe in his heart, and decided to be cautious in future contacts.
But what kind of people will the royal family send to participate in this competition?
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about business... let's eat."
"Let's eat?"
"There are so many etiquette facts! I've been hungry for a day! Marquis, you should eat with us and go back after you finish eating."
Watching the young prince eat the food prepared on the table without any grace, Aarons also felt a little hungry.
"By the way, is there anything interesting on this side of the border? I don't want to stay here and read reports all day long... Can I visit the Marquis's Mansion?"
"Your Highness, please eat slowly... There's actually nothing to see in the Marquis's Mansion, but..."
Aarons' life experience in his previous life suddenly played a strange role at this time - the children in the family might have the opportunity to become the prince's future attendants.
"I have adopted some orphans at home. I wonder if you would mind."
"Oh? The Marquis is actually a kind-hearted man. I don't mind. I am also curious about their living conditions."
Although he was young, he was still a prince of the empire. The prince of the highest class in the empire and the orphan of the lowest class had no intersection at all. If the other party was unwilling to contact civilians, then Aarons's behavior was an offense.
However, it seems that the prince does not care about his noble status, so there may be some opportunities.
"Then please wait until I officially withdraw from the battle and find some time to visit my home."
"Very good, Marquis, since you are so easy to talk to, I can rest assured...I can rest assured about your future performance."
Aarons always felt that the prince seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.
But in a few days all the answers will be revealed - you will know what role you will play by then.
"Then you should eat quickly, Marquis, or it will get cold."
Why are you still busy eating at this time?
……
"So you negotiated such a business deal with the prince?"
"As long as I can survive these two years, I can at least get this city. If the one I'm pretending to be engaged to can take more territory, then my territory will also be larger in the future."
After having dinner with the prince, Aarons went home with Xia Ye who had been waiting outside. Although he told Xia Ye everything on the way, the Aries beauty did not look too happy.
"Your asking price is too low. I think they would agree even if you asked for one more city."
"Yes, is that so? I don't think I have much ability, so it would be a problem if I just make a random offer..."
"Since the royal family dares to win you over, it means you are of special value to them. You are now the only honorary marquis of the empire, so you must not underestimate the value of your identity."
What Xia Ye said was indeed correct. Aarons was just a nobody in his previous life and had no real understanding of the so-called aristocracy. After crossing over to this place, he happened to take over the mess and had no idea what characteristics a noble should have.
"In short, please remember that you have a natural advantage in this land. Even if you really don't have any strength, there will be many people paying attention to your movements. And they are the resources you can use."
"If you say so, then I'll have to think about it carefully."
"Please try to make sure I am present next time you negotiate with someone, and I will show you my true qualities as a civil servant."
Xia Ye seemed to be quite motivated...but Aarons didn't quite understand why she was so excited.
——Perhaps this is a common problem among professionals.
