Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"What is this... registration form?"

"Yes, please sign it first, Marquis."

"No, no, no, Your Highness... I don't have the strength to compete with others now? If I sign, I won't be able to pass later!"

After seeing such an outrageous proposal, Aarons couldn't hold his previous airs anymore.

Register in advance now? After the list of participants is made public tomorrow, a guy like me who has no strength will become the target of public criticism, right?

"Well... If the Marquis doesn't dare to sign, then I can only report to my father that the Marquis is just a coward and can't be reused."

"No, please wait a moment."

After Aarons restarted his brain, his mind started to work quickly.

Why did the third prince let him register in advance? People in the imperial capital have basically heard that the eldest son of Marquis Moti is an incompetent waste, so it is impossible that he is expecting him to take back all the territories by himself.

So is it ready for someone to participate in the battle in his name?

"In fact, Father hopes that you will apply for withdrawal three days after the official start, so that I can legitimately invite you to join the supervision group."

"Supervision group... So that's it."

"In addition, as long as you can successfully spend these two years as a special supervisor, Father will use this achievement to officially allocate this city to your name."

So this is what the emperor is planning. No wonder everyone has to ask themselves if they have a marriage partner first - if one of their partners disagrees to withdraw from the battle, then their position will become quite embarrassing.

So I am going to become the black curtain directly... Aarons was a little happy in his heart.

"Then that's it, Marquis, just sign it directly, and someone will help you pay the registration fee."

"If your highness and your majesty both have this request, then I would rather obey than respect."

"According to Father, this is just a business deal with the new Marquis."

Aarons carefully checked the application form again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name at the bottom and stamped 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 for other things, and he had to leave this margin.

Even if this was just a deal, the price offered by the emperor had indeed made him quite satisfied.

"Then this is considered a deal, then sister... Sorry, I'll leave it to you next, Marquis Aarons."

Aarons clearly heard the young prince accidentally say a strange word, but he didn't understand what it meant at this time.

"In addition, please pay attention to safety in the next two days. There are all kinds of people in the city, and I can't confirm whether there are any enemies lurking in it. I suggest that you stay at home and don't go out in the next 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 pay attention to safety... But I have one more question."

"I know what you want to ask. We do plan to let someone participate in the battle in the name of the Marquis's fiancé. If the Marquis is interested in the future, it will be no problem to wait until the battle is over to officially get married, and all the captured territories will belong to you."

This young prince is obviously very smart and has a very high emotional intelligence - Aarons felt a little awe in his heart, and decided to be cautious about future contacts.

But what kind of people will the royal family send to participate in this battle?

"Okay, the business is finally over... 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 grace, Aarons also felt a little hungry.

"By the way, is there anything interesting on the border? I don't want to stay here all day and read reports... 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 at home might have the opportunity to become the future attendants of this prince.

"I still have some orphans adopted at home, I wonder if you mind."

"Oh? The Marquis is actually a kind and compassionate person, I don't mind, I'm also curious about their living conditions."

Although he is not very old, this person is still an imperial prince after all. The princes at the top of the empire and the orphans at the bottom of the empire have nointersection, if the other party is unwilling to contact civilians, then Aarons's behavior is an offense.

However, it seems that the prince does not care about his noble status, so there may be some opportunities.

"Then wait until I officially withdraw from the battle and find time to visit my house."

"Very good, Marquis, you are so easy to talk to, I can also rest assured... rest assured about your future performance."

Aarons always felt that the prince seemed to be hiding something, but he did not dare to ask rashly.

However, all the answers will be revealed in a few days-what role he will play, and he will know it all by then.

"Then Marquis, you should eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold."

Why are you still eating at this time!

...

"So you negotiated such a 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 fake engaged to can win more territory, 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 didn't look very happy.

"Your asking price is too low. I think they will agree even if you ask for one more city."

"Yes, is that so? I don't think I have much strength. If I ask for a price casually, there will be problems..."

"Since the royal family dares to win you over, it means that you are of special value to them. You are now the only honorary marquis of the empire. You can't underestimate the value of your identity."

What Xia Ye said was indeed correct. Aarons was just a small figure in his previous life and had no real understanding of the so-called aristocracy. After crossing over here, I happened to take over the mess, and I didn't know what characteristics a noble should have.

"Anyway, 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 have to think about it carefully."

"Please try to make sure I am present when you negotiate with others next time. I will show you my true qualities as a civil servant."

Xia Ye seems to be quite motivated... but Aarons doesn't quite understand why she is so excited.

- Maybe this is a common problem among professionals.
