Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"So you ran back like this after being hit by two straight punches? Shouldn't you just stay there overnight and solve the livelihood problem in the second half of your life?"

Since Aarons was still tangled in his heart, he was in no mood to drink tea with the princess, but just found an excuse to run back.

When Karin, with a strange expression, and the guards took Aarons back to the Marquis's Mansion, Xia Ye's sarcastic remarks flew towards him.

"Are you not satisfied with your engagement partner? If even the status and position of Her Royal Highness the Princess are not in your eyes, what kind of women do you like? You don't actually like men, do you?"

"No, no, no, forget about men! I just have a little... You two come to the study, I'll tell you in detail."

In front of people who know his secret, Aarons is not so shy about his actual thoughts - by the way, Karin seems to have known from Xia Ye that Aarons' soul is actually a person from another world.

"...I have clearly told her that I am not a suitable marriage partner. But she not only disagrees, but also said that we can start a new relationship."

"Master, although I am basically an all-powerful staff officer, if you need my advice even on your own love problems, I will ask you to pay more."

"Hey, you are taking advantage of the fire!"

However, Xia Ye is not uninterested in this topic. Although it can't be seen from her poker face that almost does not change her expression, her tone of voice is much higher than usual.

Regardless of whether she is a demon or not, Xia Ye is still a woman after all. And of course, she likes this kind of love gossip topic very much.

"Anyway, I have understood it - you tried to persuade Her Royal Highness the Princess to change a marriage candidate under the premise of concealing your own secret, but you were rejected directly by the other party, and you were also counter-punched."

Puff - Karin, who was standing next to Xia Ye, couldn't help laughing at this time.

"And you actually used such a clumsy way to gamble your secret with Her Royal Highness the Princess... If I were to describe it in a way that you can understand, it would be 'really lame'."

"This young master is really lame~"

"Just kidding, I'm so... sorry, please help me, Teacher Xia Ye!"

Aarons knew that he really didn't have much experience dealing with women, so he didn't dare to say anything big at this time.

Keliya's reaction at that time was indeed beyond his expectations, so he didn't have time to think about it, and he took out his only trump card to gamble with the other party.

Now thinking about it, he was indeed a bit reckless.

"Alas... First of all, Her Royal Highness Princess definitely didn't take your words seriously at all. It's obvious that she doesn't care about things like future reputation."

"But the emperor should still care, right?"

"Since it was her own idea to make an engagement with you, don't you think the emperor didn't consider this?"

Although he didn't know the reason, Aarons could clearly feel that Claire's will was actually quite firm.

"So now I can only guess that something happened between her and the old young master, and even made her ignore the losses of marrying you in the future."

"In fact, there is another possibility, young master, that is, she is so powerful that she doesn't need to care about the opinions of outsiders."

"But no matter what, I'm not the real Aarons Moti."

It is precisely because Aarons knows that he is just an actor in a disguise that he doesn't want to take advantage of Claire's feelings for the unlucky young master.

"It seems that there are still some areas of mental dislocation that have not been adjusted, so let's skip this topic for the time being."

Xia Ye did not dwell too much on Aarons's sense of morality and values, but decisively began to look for a breakthrough from another aspect.

"You just said that Her Royal Highness has been wearing a veil to hide some secrets, right? In my opinion, Her Royal Highness is just giving you a way out."

"This..."

"I don't know if the imperial family has similar customs, but there are only two reasons for wearing such things - one is that you don't want others to see the flaws on your face, and the other is that you don't want your face to be seen by insignificant people."

The possibility of the two reasons is half and half, so Aarons can't be sure what Claire is thinking.

"If I have to say, Her Royal Highness should have only noticed your mental uneasiness, so she followed your suggestion and reached an agreement with you. If you ask her to take off the veil, she should not refuse."

"...Maybe that's the case."

"So now the question is back to you. What is your wish? What do you want in this life? "

——This is a very serious question.

If you just want to eat and wait for death, then Aarons doesn't have to think about these messy things. As long as he makes good use of the princess's feelings, he can live a life of luxury and wealth.

But it is precisely because he actually wants to do something that he will take the initiative to consider the feelings of others and refuse to give up his almost arrogant sense of morality and code of conduct.

"... From childhood to adulthood, I have lived in the expectations of people around me. As long as I respond to the expectations of others, I can find the goal of life. "

But Aarons in his previous life finally lost these things.

"But after my parents died, I didn't know what I should do. Maybe that's why my career failed. ”

However, I, who had never had a goal in life, was lucky enough to get a second life after a muddle-headed failure.

“I read in the books that those people dared to dominate the world or save the people after traveling through time, but when it was my turn, I found that I was not suitable for those things.”

In his previous life, Aarons was not a young man full of vigor and fearlessness, but a small man who had passed his forties but had not achieved anything.

——His edges and corners had long been smoothed, and there was not much sharpness left.

“Maybe I’m just afraid to take a step.”

“Excuse me, when you ran out to die last time, you probably didn’t even think about being afraid, right?”

Why didn’t I worry about gains and losses like I do now?

“——Maybe it’s because others are expecting someone to stand up and protect them.”

After thinking about it for a while, Aarons quickly came up with a reasonable answer.

“In that case, how about you continue to respond to other people’s expectations? Old Master Raul once hoped that you would revive the Marquis family, and Els and Meili hoped to learn more life experience from you. Miss Karin and I hope that you can provide us with stable living conditions, and Her Royal Highness the Princess hopes to get a husband of equal level. "

These are the expectations of others for Aarons-so he immediately understood that he was not without a goal to move forward, but was just afraid of failure.

"If you don't have the ability to complete all the goals, how about picking one or two of them to try? Even if all fail in the end, you won't live in vain, right?"

"... You are really an excellent adjutant, Miss Xia Ye."

Although the courage to move forward cannot be generated by just one or two sentences, after knowing the contradiction in his heart, Aarons is no longer so entangled.

"In that case, please pay the additional consultation fee in a few days, and I will ask Miss Karin to help collect it. "

"I thought you didn't mention it! "

"I am a demon who lives faithfully to my desires. I won't be as hesitant as you."

——Perhaps the last sentence is the answer that Xia Ye really wants to tell Aarons.
