Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Although the alarm in Aarons' heart kept ringing, he quickly ruled out several possibilities with low probability.

This unidentified woman should not know the person who just held him hostage, and the reason why she appeared here may be just as she said - because she had been following him just now.

The possibility that she and the hostage-taker were acting together was very small. After all, if it was really acting, she would not have used that wonderful magic to completely evaporate that person.

I am afraid that someone else was planning to deal with him just now, but it happened that she found an opportunity to intervene.

"How are you thinking, sir? I guess you have come up with a reasonable answer now?"

"... Please forgive me for being rude. Thank you for your timely help."

It seemed that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party a long time ago, so Aarons no longer continued to think about more possibilities and immediately bowed to the woman to thank her.

"You're welcome. I was originally entrusted by His Excellency the God of War to take you to the mansion after you meet His Majesty. But seeing that you walked to the street in a daze just now, I decided to follow you."

"This... I'm just thinking about something. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Are you interested in the streets of the imperial capital? I can accompany you for a few more rounds."

This is not asking for his opinion.

Aarons immediately understood the true meaning of the woman's words - she actually said "please accompany me to walk around the street."

"...I am indeed interested. I hope you can explain it to me."

"In that case, please follow me."

As if she saw through Aarons' embarrassment, the black-clothed woman chuckled twice and turned to the exit of the alley.

And Aarons looked back at the empty back, and then looked down at the short knife that fell on the ground, and then slowly followed with lingering fear.

The magic just now was too incredible... I must find a way to make up for it later.

...

"I didn't even have time to ask you just now, what should I call you, young lady?"

After walking side by side with the black-clad woman on the street, Aarons finally expressed his doubts.

Although the other party was still dressed the same as yesterday, and obviously didn't want people to know her identity, Aarons still hoped that she could give him some hints.

"You can call me Keliya, but please keep my last name secret for the time being."

Wait, why did you just tell me your name?

After hearing this answer, Aarons also confirmed his guess-she was indeed the daughter of a noble, and not mentioning her last name should be to avoid exposing the family behind her.

But the name Keliya... he always felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

"So Miss Keliya, do you have any places to recommend?"

Looking at the woman next to him who was dressed in summer clothes that didn't fit in with the passers-by, Aarons hesitated for a long time before cautiously saying the next sentence.

However, the woman named Keliya just raised her cane and pointed at the shop on the street.

"It seems that they sell good drinks there. Would you like a cup?"

"This..."

What should I do? The other party has pointed it out directly. It's not okay to say that I'm not thirsty at this time!

Aarons scratched his head awkwardly and didn't answer Keliya's question directly... because he didn't have any money on hand now.

"Young master, you are new to the imperial capital. I will pay for this small amount of money."

"This... I'm really sorry. I didn't bring much change when I went out today."

No, this is too embarrassing... Even if Aarons had forty years of life experience in his previous life, he only felt his old face flushed at this time.

After watching Keliya walk to the store and buy two drinks in wooden cups with a silver coin, Aarons only had the idea of ​​finding a hole to dig in.

"Please have it, sir. This is a popular drink in the imperial capital recently. It is said to be introduced from the southeast of the continent."

After taking the cup from Keliya, Aarons was surprised to find that there was a paper straw inserted in the cream layer overflowing from the cup.

After taking a small sip carefully, Aarons' thoughts were brought back to his previous life by the familiar taste.

——The taste that was similar to coffee mixed with cocoa reminded him of the time when he had a short love affair with a woman when he was young in his previous life.

"Ah... it's quite delicious."

Because the taste of this drink is actually much softer than coffee, Aarons quickly returned to reality after a brief loss of consciousness.

"Although the price is a little high, people in the imperial capital like this slightly bitter taste very much - do you also like it, sir?What sad things did you think of? "

"It's okay, after all, I'm already sad enough now."

And watching the other party's straw reaching inside from the veil that completely concealed her face, Aarons was a little curious.

-Why would such a woman who seemed younger than himself hide her identity so much?

"Are you talking about the Marquisate?"

Yesterday, Aarons had told Claire about his current situation and made a brief prediction of what was about to happen. Although he felt that the other party was not interested at the time, it seems that this is not the case now.

"I thought I could save a city, but according to your majesty's meaning... before inheriting the territory, I must find someone to marry into. "

"Marrying into a family, that is indeed a bit troublesome. "

Although Aarons even wanted to ask Claire if she was willing to accept him as her son-in-law, he quickly threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.

The other party had no intention of showing his face in front of him. If he dared to say such rude words, he would definitely be disgusted by the other party.

"But the young master is handsome, and there must be many women who will be attracted by him, right? The two beautiful young ladies from other countries yesterday must have fallen for the young master's charm, right?"

No, no, no, those two are too scary! What kind of charm is there... They are eyeing my life!

Aarons' expression froze unnaturally for a few seconds, and then slowly returned to normal. Claire also obviously saw this change, and couldn't help but chuckle again.

--Let's not talk about anything else, her voice is really very nice.

"Although the young master is facing a difficult dilemma, there is no need to belittle yourself. If necessary, His Excellency the God of War and I are willing to lend a hand to the young master. "

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Miss."

Although he said so, Aarons also knew that it was difficult to repay such a favor. So if he was not really desperate, he would never ask for help easily.

"It seems to be getting late, let's go back to the mansion now."
