Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

When Aarons finally returned to the house, he found that Her Royal Highness Princess had already been sitting in the reception room with Karin and Xia Ye waiting for him.

However, the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, as if something had just happened.

"Are you all right?"

Because Her Royal Highness Princess was wearing a mask and Xia Ye usually had no expression at all, he could only observe Karin's reaction.

"It's okay, Master. We just talked about some private topics with Her Royal Highness Princess."

Looking at the slightly shaking ears and the constantly swaying tail, Aarons felt that Karin had nothing in her mind.

"That's right, I just saw something very interesting. It's really enviable that the Marquis can recruit such excellent subordinates."

Envy? Then can you take them away by the way? They are deadly here!

However, the princess's voice seemed a little strange, as if there was a subtle sense of stiffness - could it be that Xia Ye had done something to her just now?

"Well, I still have some private matters to deal with, so I won't bother you here today. Does the Marquis have anything else to say? If not, I'll go back first."

"...Please take this."

After a little hesitation, Aarons took out a magic core from his pocket and handed it to the princess solemnly.

"What is this? A gift for me?"

"No, it's just a prop...a ​​prop that will prevent me from regretting it in the next battle because it can't be used."

After hearing this seemingly meaningful remark, the princess was stunned for a moment, and then she also solemnly stuffed the magic core into the secret pocket of her shirt.

"I'll take it. Then, Marquis, we'll see each other in a few days."

After saying this, the princess in black left without looking back.

Aarons, who found that there was something wrong with her attitude, found an opportunity to ask the two women in his family at this time.

"What did you tell her just now?"

"It was just a bad deal... You are so stupid, why did you provoke such a dangerous person?"

"...Are you really qualified to say such things, Miss Xia Ye?"

However, Xia Ye's slightly cold attitude also made Aarons give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

Perhaps she was also a little bit unhappy because she suffered some losses from Her Royal Highness the Princess just now.

"In addition, I want to ask you, did you only prepare gifts for Her Royal Highness the Princess? You didn't forget about the two of us?"

Ah? So you are unhappy because of this!

Aarons took out the colorful magic cores from his pocket with some embarrassment, and also explained the purpose of these things.

However, after understanding the purpose of these things, Karin and Xia Ye became more interested.

"Can consciousness resonate with mental power? This is the first time I've heard of it in my life. Please demonstrate it to us later."

"Hey, does this thing have to be held in the hand to work? That's inconvenient, isn't it?"

"Well... since it happens to be a magic core, why not just make it into jewelry."

Seeing the two inhuman beauties leaving him aside to discuss the style of jewelry, Aarons's originally self-consuming spirit couldn't help but relax a little.

——Maybe he really shouldn't be entangled in so many problems.

...

However, two days later, unexpected troubles came to him.

"Mr. Marquis! A noble has formally submitted an application to the supervision team, requesting an honor duel with you!"

When Aarons was still concentrating on studying how to freely control his mental power, the staff of the city office who suddenly came to his door brought him some bad news.

"Take a breath first, and then speak slowly."

"The applicant is Honorary Viscount Lomar. He publicly declared that you were engaged to Her Royal Highness by fraud, so he wanted to use a duel to prove that you were not qualified to marry Her Royal Highness... and he also summoned a lot of reporters,"

--Honorary duels cannot be refused.

According to the rules of the empire, the noble who initiated the honorary duel must first lower his rank by one level regardless of whether he wins or loses in the end. If the initiator loses, his noble status will be directly revoked.

Such regulations not only avoid the possibility of abuse of this form of duel, but also give those who want to challenge the authority of high nobles a relatively fair opportunity.

"What is his request?"

"If he wins, you must take the initiative to cancel your engagement with Her Royal Highness."

"What a joke, can he afford the equivalent price?!"

--If a duel could be used to cancel an engagement for no reason, the empire would have been in chaos long ago.

The initiator must be able to pay a price equal to the demand in order for the duel to be established. And how could an honorary viscount afford the price of asking Aarons to cancel his engagement with the princess?

"The viscount seems to have an ancient scroll that can heal all kinds of injuries, and it is now being appraised."

"...I see."

In fact, many treasures from the Demon War period a thousand years ago have been passed down to later generations.

And when the countries were fighting for hegemony five hundred years ago, these things were collected by various forces at the time and eventually scattered all over the continent.

So it is not particularly strange that an honorary noble who may have a backstage happens to own such an ancient treasure.

After all, Aarons himself once had that kind of thing.

"Master, what happened?"

"Nothing, someone wants to send us something. "

Because Xia Ye happened to come to the yard, the conversation between Aarons and the city office staff also attracted her attention.

After hearing that someone had challenged Aarons to a duel of honor, this Aries beauty who usually had a blank expression unexpectedly smiled.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to test those things again? Miss Karin and I are ready."

"... Let's give it a try."

Although the entanglement in his heart still exists, Aarons does not intend to hesitate.

"The witness is the supervision team, right? Then I'll go there in person. Xia Ye, go and call Karin."

"Yes, please wait a moment. "

After patting the employee on the shoulder and telling him to go back and wait for news, Aarons began to adjust his mood.

- He did not have the cheating power like the princess, and could not change the absolute gap in strength.

But the ability left by the disappeared young master was by no means meaningless garbage.

"...I am an incompetent waste, but you are not."

Even if it was just to prove this point, Aarons would never back down now.
