Chaos Crown

Chapter 112, Midwinter's Footsteps (Second Update!)

After lunch, it was inconvenient for Alice Searle to stay in the Carladney Manor any longer, and the Princess Regent announced her farewell hastily.

She was as domineering as ever, and if she wanted to leave, Aaron had to go with her. The reason Alice Searle gave was "Today is your duty time, so I will take care of you."

Very well, it seems that our Princess Regent has a sense of ownership.

Aaron had no choice but to keep up.

This time the atmosphere between the two is even more different. Aaron and Alice Searle have tested each other three times, and now they can be regarded as having established a relatively solid cooperative relationship and gained enough mutual trust. The time has been much easier.

"No one in the whole kingdom will object to the matter between you and Charlotte, but after all, you have not yet... In short, you are still young, so don't put too much energy on matters between men and women." Alice Searle Scarlet Her beautiful eyes were always staring at Aaron.

She likes to see him, she likes to talk to him.

The Queen Regent suspected that she might indeed be affected by the dragon blood of the ancient red dragon.

What are the habits of dragons?
Well, different giant dragons have different habits, but dragons have two things in common. The first point is extreme conceit, and the second point is the motivation of greed. Or other rare dragon species, or even the three legendary dragon species, it can be said that they are basically common.

The dragons are eager to obtain more wealth and collect more favorite treasures. It is nothing more than a matter of means. The dragons on the good side tend to fill their treasure house with suitable means, while the dragons on the evil side use all means to obtain wealth. , they believe that all the wealth in the world belongs to them.

"Women are like dragons, and women are like dragons! They have no resistance to shiny and beautiful things!"

——The research theory of the national dragon scientist, who cheated Silvermoon City of ten years of research funding by relying on the paper "Several Connections Between Gender and Five-Colored Dragon Queens"

Alice Searle had a voice in her heart, telling her to "properly keep" Aaron well, and then she and Charlotte could enjoy it privately.

Otherwise, this kid is so good-looking, so attractive, and he is from a famous family. As long as he thinks about it, how could he be short of women?
"I know what happened with my sister." Aaron nodded.

The relationship between him and the eldest lady is basically tacit.

Not to mention Suzar, even in the entire Cormyr and even the central region of the country, after going around, there are only two soul warlocks, that is, he and the eldest lady. There may be more cosmic warlocks, but within the scope of Suzar There are only Aaron and Charlotte in the room.

In this case, with the two of them having performed an untold number of times of soul attunement, Aaron, Charlotte, and even Alice Searle, who knew the inside story, knew what would happen in the future. They don't even have to say it.

It is nothing more than going through the process at the right time in the future and finalizing things.

No way, the mate selection of warlocks is so narrow, so the warlocks in the kingdom often show two extremes.

Or they have a high self-esteem, regard the opposite sex as inferior, keep a group of face heads, and wait for the flop at night.

Or let loose, never caring about race age for that matter, just mess around and leave seeds everywhere.

Regarding the pairing of Charlotte and Aaron, the Queen Regent has no objection, she knows that this is the best result.

The world has fallen to a Salian.

"Oh, by the way, here is a piece of information about the Countess of Arabelle, Millman-Raul." Alice Searle took out a document and handed it to Aaron: "Check it out when you have time, Midwinter is coming soon, New Year's Eve Your holidays should be with your family, but don't let up."

"Understood." Aaron took the information bag, thought for a while and didn't open it directly.

Since Alice Searle asked him to go back and watch it, then go back and watch it again.

"Recovering Arabel City... Forget it, let's not talk about this." Alice Searle hesitated, she and Aaron were already close to the gate of the manor, her carriage and attendants were waiting there, seeing the princess so quickly It came out, and the attendants were a little panicked, so they hurriedly made preparations.

"You see, they are all afraid of you, my lord." Aaron laughed.

"Maybe, but you don't seem to be very afraid of me." The regent princess smiled sweetly, with a hint of playfulness in her beautiful scarlet eyes: "You should also restrain your eyes a little bit, Sir Salian."

"Yes, Your Highness." Aaron bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Speaking of which, the pupil color of the regent daughter Alice Searle is somewhat similar to the pupil color of the dark elf's sister Nestia, both of which are wine red and coquettish.

But unlike Alice Searle's domineering, domineering, cold, and powerful temperament, Nestia's temperament is closer to vigilance, deterrence, and coldness. Her strong vigilance and coldness seem to seep out of her bones. , What brought Aaron were two feelings.

The Queen Regent is confident that she can control everything, and she looks down on all beings.

Sister Dark Spirit is always watching the wind and grass, she is cold-hearted about everything.

"But, Your Highness, beautiful things are always desirable." Seeing that Alice Sale was about to get into the carriage, Aaron immediately added: "I just can't help it."

"Heh." A light flashed in Alice Searle's eyes, but she blurted out a cold sarcasm: "Are you always so good at sweet talk? Sir Salian?"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, I am a soldier." Aaron trotted to the side of the carriage, straightened his waist and stretched out his hands: "Soldiers are very simple, and they are all born to be loyal to the country."

"Hmph." The light in Alice Searle's eyes became brighter, she liked to hear these words.

He is a soldier, and so am I.

This kid is really good at talking, he is always on my side.

Unknowingly, the father's figure overlapped with Aaron more and more.

In a good mood, Alice Searle also put her hand on Aaron's big hand, and the regent princess stepped into the carriage lightly with her strength: "You pass the test, remember, don't fall behind on duty in the future."

"Yes, Your Highness." Aaron saluted and watched the royal carriage leave the gate of the manor.

Trouble, seeing the performance of the princess, the secret that I am a heavy stocking addict will not be exposed, right?Aaron squeezed his chin and thought so.

No, this is the deepest secret I hide, and no one should know it except my best friend from the previous life.

Aaron is very confident about this. The Son of Chaos thought about traveling to the present, but he has no chance to expose it.

But even if Aaron keeps it a secret, this Midwinter New Year's Day may have to be spread in a small area.

Because he plans to take Eleanor into his house to spend the holiday together!
By the way, some things are best settled quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.

The sky is still very gloomy, and the Longhu Lake in the afternoon is full of cold air, and the sky covered by dark clouds will occasionally fall with little raindrops.

Aaron didn't ride a horse, so he just walked back to Suzall alone, with his polished leather boots stepping on the muddy ground after the rain, without any muddy water splashing on his boots and trousers.

Aunt Mei Li once said that Aaron's clothes don't seem to need to be washed, and they look as they look after wearing them.

This is also one of the abilities brought by the power of Slaanesh - saving laundry time and laundry costs!
On the way back, Aaron couldn't help but took out the information given by Alice Searle.

The most fruitful thing about coming to the Missy's manor this time is that the two sides have reached a new tacit agreement, that is, if Aaron can assist the Countess of Arabelle Millman-Raul to regain her old territory, then the fief will be discussed.

Aaron didn't have much opinion on this. As the Viscount of the kingdom, he was obliged to do something for the kingdom instead of just asking for it.

Some people may not understand, here is a little explanation:
If Cormier is a large company, then this large company has three major shareholders, namely the largest shareholder of the royal family represented by Alice Ser-Obeschiel who is also the chairman and CEO, the two field dukes, the Duke of Ireland and Marelli The Duke is also the majority shareholder.

The remaining field earls and barons are minority shareholders and have the right to speak.

Aaron is the Viscount of Salian. If he was just a casual job with a bit of a stake and could get a little bonus every year, then Aaron is now a middle-level employee with a bit of a stake. He was appointed by the princess and directly under her supervision.

Now, Aaron's proposal to enshrine the land means that he, a middle-level employee who only has a few dry shares and can only participate in dividends, wants to obtain more company shares and a position on the board of directors.

Aaron couldn't give enough funds, nor did he show a particularly strong ability. All he could rely on was his abundant potential and some skills in his hands.

The princess regent told him clearly: This is not enough, far from enough.

As a casual employee, Aaron has already enjoyed a certain amount of dividends and lacks outstanding contributions. The company has never let him down, but now he wants to become a minority shareholder instead?
There are only so many shares in the company, and if you take them, someone must want less.

Do you have any special contribution to the company?What do you rely on to convince the board?
Aaron really couldn't come up with any solid evidence.

Eliminating the goblin and kobold camps is a small matter, but solving the incarnation of the Old One is a big contribution, but one thing must be known-the Old One was attracted by Aaron!Without Aaron's attraction, Cthulhu could not have sent his avatar down.

So Aaron's real contribution was to solve the sorcerer, forcibly counting the summoning of the incarnation of Slaanesh as his contribution without taking into account the disaster he brought. Mama good boy.

In fairness, whether it is the Kingdom of the Purple Dragon or Alice Searle, they are really good to Aaron. The kingdom has really given him a lot, but he still wants to claim the fiefdom.

He himself said before that first-class people get first-class treatment and should also undertake first-class obligations, but when it was his turn, he also thought about getting something for nothing.

It can only be said that this is human nature. Everyone does not want to take responsibility, but wants to enjoy various rights.

The influence of Slaanesh and Tzeentch on him is growing day by day. If it weren't for Alice Searle today, he wouldn't even realize that the erosion of Chaos is coming back.

Now the conditions given by Alice Searle are simple:
One, you have to show the value worthy of a fief, the Iron Queen doesn't believe in future warriors.

Second, it is basically impossible to give Aaron a fiefdom from the direct territory of the royal family, but Aaron can find it from the outside.

Therefore, Aaron focused his attention on Arabel.

Time to do something for the kingdom!

A lot of shares in Cormier's company are controlled by orcs.

He doesn't plan to follow the path of Slaanesh and Tzeentch this time. The influence of these two old brothers is a bit too deep now.

Find something to balance it out.

Then let the skulls and blood of the orcs witness the rise of me, Aaron-Salyan!
I just don't know if these orcs have enough heads?

Is that good brother satisfied?
　Updated, the second update has finally caught up!Ha ha ha ha!
