"How is it? It's a good show, isn't it, brother-in-law?"

Aarons' jaw was dislocated and couldn't close at this time - he didn't know where to start complaining.

He felt that he should have guessed that the Empire had such outrageous things a long time ago. He had already seen flying ships and magic cannons, so how could the Imperials not think of installing cannons on ships?

But how could a warship so easily wipe out more than a thousand mercenaries? Even if most of these mercenaries were only level three warriors, with only a few magicians and level fours... it wouldn't be like plowing the land and flattening them all, right?

And who was the owner of that ship... Keliya? Keliya Armand? She was the princess of the Empire who hadn't been heard from for years! How did she suddenly show up in public here?

Wait, is that her the one I saw in the capital before?! No wonder she didn't tell me her last name. If she did, it would be all exposed, right?!

Wait a minute... In addition to the royal emblem, there is also her family emblem on the ship? Could it be that she was specially arranged by the emperor for her?

fiancée!?

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with your mouth?"

No wonder this brat acted like a family member the moment we met, it turns out you already knew the outcome, right?!

You are just teasing me here, right?

"Loran! You plotted against me!!"

The legion commander and the fat old minister sitting next to them laughed out loud without any restraint, and it seemed as if they had been holding it in for a long time.

The young prince looked at Aarons, who was trying hard to put his jaw back, with a serious face, as if he had no idea why Aarons had such a big emotional fluctuation.

"Plot? We didn't plot anything. This time, it was the Imperial Sister who specifically nominated you as her fiancé, and the Emperor also allowed her to move her palace here, so I asked the Imperial Sister to help deal with those mercenaries."

What? You decided it yourself? Princess, are you crazy? You chose me, a notorious good-for-nothing, as your fiancé!?

“Hahahahahahaha… Oh, I can’t do it anymore. We have been strictly trained and normally don’t laugh…”

"Hahahaha... I guess I have to change the way I address you, Your Majesty the Emperor's Son-in-Law."

"… You better explain to me what's going on."

After the initial confusion passed, Aarons quickly suppressed his emotions.

He didn't think that this was some lucky thing where a woman would fall from the sky. The fact that the empire would spend so much money on such an arrangement must mean that they had some more ulterior plan to use him to implement.

His forty years of failure in his previous life had taught him that there was absolutely no such thing as a free gift.

"Actually, I don't know what's going on, brother-in-law. My sister said before me, my father, and many ministers that she was going to marry Aarons Moti, and my father didn't know what she was thinking."

...Is there really such a thing as getting a wife for free?

"But father originally planned to marry my sister to a marquis, so he didn't investigate the reason. And it was my sister who asked me to make you an honorary marquis and to publicly announce your engagement."

"…Do I have such a good relationship with her?"

"I really don't know, brother-in-law! When the royal sister comes over, why don't you ask her yourself? By the way, my sister is very powerful...you better be careful."

——This is a bit outrageous.

He and Keliya had only communicated twice in the imperial capital. It was impossible for her to fall in love with him at first sight just by such a brief communication.

According to the Third Prince, all the current plans, even the Battle of Zhengrong itself, were planned by that princess. The "hidden power that can shake the whole chess game" that Karin mentioned was this princess whom she had never expected.

But if this isn't love at first sight, how do you explain it?

[It turned out to be the "Yumenhua"... I didn't expect that the Marquis could actually mobilize Her Royal Highness the Princess's palace ship. Can we now make a reasonable guess that Her Royal Highness the Princess is actually the partner who will participate in the Battle of Zhengrong with Marquis Aarons? ]

[That’s right. I am here to announce to all the citizens that I will participate in this great battle of honor as the fiancée of Marquis Aarons Moti.]

[This, this... Her Royal Highness Princess has not been heard from for several years. I didn't expect that she would officially return today and bring us such shocking news! Please pay attention to our subsequent reports! ]

When Aarons saw the word "end" on the live broadcast on the spiritual vision, he felt his whole face twitching.

“…Ouch, my stomach is cramping! I can’t take it anymore…I already knew this, but I still want to laugh!”

"Hohohoho... My dear son-in-law, you should go out with His Highness as soon as possible. The reporters outside can't wait any longer."

...It's over. How should I tell the reporters later?

The problem is that I'm the only one who doesn't know about this! What should I say?

"Come on, brother-in-law, we just have to act on the situation as it comes."

"I'm telling you, I really want to punch you right now!"

"I'm a third-level magician. You can't defeat me, brother-in-law."

Damn it, it feels like I was taken directly into another script.

……

When Aarons and the third prince walked out of the hotel door, they saw that the magic circle was already crowded with reporters and onlookers.

——Because what happened today is so explosive.

"Your Highness! Lord Marquis! Please explain to us the matter of Her Highness the Princess—"

Those illegal mercenaries who were bombed into ashes? Who cares! She is a princess! She is the only daughter of the current emperor Armand VII!

The princess was the third of four children and for some reason there was no public news about her after she turned twelve. Some people even thought that she had unfortunately passed away for some reason.

But now she has not only appeared in public again, but she has also immediately announced that she is engaged to someone -

"Please keep quiet for now. Marquis Aarons and I will explain the situation to everyone."

The most crucial problem is that the person engaged to Her Royal Highness the Princess is actually Aarons Moti... the well-known incompetent young master of the Marquis Moti's family!

"Before, due to some objective factors, the engagement between my sister and the marquis was not officially announced to the public. But after the marquis took the initiative to offer his territory and created conditions for the empire to hold this conference, my father decided to use this event to announce this news to the people of the whole country!"

The third prince took the opportunity to help Aarons establish his personality in public opinion - it was indeed he who voluntarily returned this territory to the empire. If he had not voluntarily offered his own territory, how would you honorary nobles have the opportunity to become regular nobles?

What? You said the new marquis is a loser who can't control the territory at all? Are you trying to say that the emperor who married the princess to the marquis was blind?

From then on, no one could say that Aarons was an incompetent waste anymore - everyone had to rack their brains to guess what unknown talents this young master had that made the emperor willing to marry his only daughter.

Of course, even Aarons himself didn't know what was going on.

"Mr. Marquis! Please speak a few words! Please tell us how you and Her Royal Highness the Princess came to be engaged!"

Say something? What do you want me to say?

Do you want me to say that this is the emperor's order, and let me be the princess's husband? And then recite a couple of lines of poetry?

How about just saying that you are too young, and that your only advantage is that you can run fast, and finally saying that I was chatting and laughing with the Martial God Lingqing?

"Sorry, no comment."

——It’s best not to say anything.
