Crown of Chaos
Chapter 112, The footsteps of Midwinter Festival (second update!)
After finishing lunch, it was inconvenient for Alicesel to stay in the Karadenai Manor any longer, so the regent princess hurriedly announced her departure.
She was as domineering as ever, she wanted to leave, and Aaron had to go with her. The reason given by Alice Searle was "Today is your duty time, then you are under my control."
Very good, it seems that our regent has a sense of ownership.
Aaron had no choice but to follow.
The atmosphere between the two people is even more different this time. Aaron and Alice Searle have tested each other three times. Now they can be considered to have established a relatively solid cooperative relationship and have achieved enough mutual trust. Therefore, the conversation Time has become much easier.
"No one in the whole kingdom will object to the matter between you and Charlotte, but after all, you are not there yet... In short, you are still young, so don't put too much energy on the matter of men and women." Alice Sel scarlet Her beautiful eyes were always staring at Aaron.
She loved looking at him, she loved talking to him.
The regent princess suspected that she might indeed have been affected by the blood of the ancient red dragon.
What are the habits of dragons?
Well, different dragons have different habits, but dragons have two things in common. The first point is extreme arrogance, and the second point is greedy motivation. Whether they are placed in metal dragons or color dragons, Or other rare dragon species, or even the three legendary dragon species, it can be said that they are basically all in common.
Dragons are all 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 use appropriate means to fill their treasure troves, while the dragons on the evil side will use any means to obtain wealth. , they believe that all the wealth in the world belongs to them.
"Women are like dragons, and women are dragons! They are irresistible to shiny and beautiful things!"
——The research theory of a national dragon scientist. He relied on the paper "Several Relationships between Gender and Five-Colored Dragon Queens" to defraud Silvermoon City of ten years of research funding.
There was a voice in Alice Sayre's heart, telling her to keep Aaron "properly stored" so that she and Charlotte could enjoy it privately.
Otherwise, if this boy is so good-looking, so charming, and comes from a famous family, how could he be short of women if he wanted to?
"I know what happened between me and my sister." Aaron nodded.
The relationship between him and the eldest lady is simply by default.
Not to mention Susar, even in the entire Cormyr and even the central area of the country, there are only two soul warlocks, namely him and the eldest lady. There may be more cosmic warlocks, but within the scope of Susar There were only two people inside, Aaron and Charlotte.
In this case, with the two of them having synchronized their souls countless times, Aaron, Charlotte, and even Alice Sayre, who knew the inside story, knew what the future would be like. They don't even have to say it.
It's nothing more than completing the process at the right time in the future and finalizing things.
There is no way, the warlock's choice of mate is so narrow, so the warlocks in the country often show two extremes.
Or they may think highly of themselves, regard the opposite sex as inferior people, maintain a group of good-looking people, and wait for the cards to be turned over at night.
Or indulge at will, never care about race and age in this regard, mess around at will, and leave seeds everywhere.
The Queen Regent had no objections to the pairing of Charlotte and Aaron. She knew that this was the best outcome.
A Salian falls from the world.
"Oh, by the way, here is a piece of information about Countess Arabelle Millman-Raul." Alice Searle took out a document and handed it to Aaron: "You can take a look at it when you have time. It's almost Midwinter and New Year's Day. You should be reunited with your family during the holidays, but don’t relax.”
"Understood." Aaron took the information bag and thought for a moment before opening it directly.
Since Alice Sayre asked him to go back and watch it, then he should go back and watch it again.
"Recapture Arabelle City...forget it, let's not talk about this." Alice Serre hesitated to speak. She and Aaron were already near the gate of the manor. Her carriage and attendants were waiting there. It was so quick to see the princess. When he came out, the attendants were a little panicked and quickly made preparations.
"You see, they are all afraid of you, my highness." Aaron smiled.
"Maybe, but you don't seem to be very afraid of me." The Regent Princess smiled sweetly, with a trace of playfulness in her beautiful scarlet eyes: "You should also restrain your eyes a little, Lord Salian."
"Yes, Your Highness." Aaron lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Speaking of which, the color of the regent's daughter Alice's pupils is somewhat similar to the color of the eyes of the dark elf sister Nestia, both of which are burgundy and coquettish.
But unlike Alice Sayre, who is domineering, domineering, cold, and strong, Nestia's temperament is closer to vigilance, intimidation, and coldness. Her strong vigilance and coldness seem to seep out from her bones bit by bit. , brought two kinds of feelings to Aaron.
The regent is confident that she can control everything, and she looks down on everyone.
The Dark Elf sister is always observing every sign of the situation, and she is cold-faced towards everything.
"But, Your Highness, beautiful things are always desirable." Seeing Alice Searle about to get on the carriage, Aaron immediately added: "I just can't help myself."
"Ha." Alice's eyes flashed, but what came out of her mouth was cold sarcasm: "Are you always so good at sweet words? Lord Salian?"
"Excuse me, Your Highness, I am a soldier." Aaron trotted to the side of the carriage, straightened his back and stretched out his hands: "Soldiers are very simple, and they are all born to be loyal to the country."
"Humph." The light in Alice Ser's eyes became brighter, she liked hearing this.
He is a soldier and I am a soldier.
This guy is really good at talking. He is always on my side.
Unknowingly, his father's figure overlapped with Aaron's more and more closely.
In a good mood, Alice Searle also put her hand on Aaron's big hand, and the regent princess used her strength to lightly step on the carriage: "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, looking at the princess's behavior, won't the secret that I am a serious stocking lover be exposed? Aaron thought as he pinched his chin.
No, this is my deepest-hidden secret. No one should know except for my best friends in my previous life.
Aaron was very confident about this. The Son of Chaos thought about it and traveled to the present. He had no chance of being exposed.
But even if Aaron keeps it a secret, it may be spread to a small extent this Midwinter New Year.
Because he plans to bring Eleanor home to spend the holidays together!
By the way, it's best to settle some things quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.
The sky was still very gloomy, and the chilly air was permeating the Longhu Lake in the afternoon. Raindrops would fall from time to time in the sky shrouded by dark clouds.
Aaron did not ride a horse, so he walked back to Susar alone, his polished leather boots stepping on the muddy ground after the rain, without any muddy water splashing on his boots and trousers.
Aunt Mellie once said that Aaron's clothes don't seem to need to be washed. What they look like when they go out is what they look like when they put them back on.
This is also one of the abilities that the Power of Slaanesh brings - saving laundry time and laundry costs!
On the way back, Aaron couldn't help but take out the information given by Alice Sayre.
The most rewarding thing about visiting the eldest lady's manor this time is that the two parties have reached a new tacit understanding, that is, if Aaron can assist Countess Arabelle Millman-Raul to regain her old territory, then the fiefdom can be discussed.
Aaron didn't have much opinion on this. As a viscount of the kingdom, he had an obligation to do something for the kingdom, rather than just asking for it from the kingdom.
Some people may not understand, so here is a little explanation:
If Cormier is a large company, then this large company has three major shareholders. They are the largest shareholder of the royal family represented by Alice Searle-Obeszil, who is also the chairman and CEO, and the two real Dukes, the Duke of Ireland and Marelli. The Duke is also the majority shareholder.
The remaining earls and barons are small shareholders and have a say.
Aaron is Viscount Salian. If before he was just a sinecure with some shares and a small bonus every year, then Aaron is now a middle-level employee with some shares, appointed by the princess and directly under her jurisdiction.
Now, Aaron's request for a fiefdom means that he, a middle-level employee with only a small share of shares and can only participate in dividends, wants to obtain more company shares and a position on the board of directors.
Aaron couldn't provide enough funds, and he didn't show particularly strong abilities. All he could rely on was the rich potential he showed and some skills in his hands.
The Princess Regent told him clearly: This is not enough, far from enough.
As a lay employee, Aaron has already enjoyed certain dividends and lacks outstanding contributions. The company has never treated him badly, but now he wants shares as a minority shareholder?
There are only so many shares in the company. If you take it, someone will definitely want less.
Do you have any special contribution to the company? How do you convince the board?
Aaron really couldn't come up with any solid evidence.
Eliminating the goblin and kobold camps is a small effort, but solving the incarnation of the Old Ones is a big contribution, but you have to know one fact - the Old Ones were attracted by Aaron! Without Aaron's attraction, Cthulhu would not have been able to send the Avatar down.
So Aaron's real contribution was to get rid of the sorcerer and forcefully count the summoning of Slaanesh's incarnation as his credit without taking into account the disaster he caused. Aaron couldn't do this kind of thing. After all, he was Selun. Damn good boy.
To put it bluntly, both the Kingdom of Purple Dragon and Alice Serre were really generous to Aaron. The kingdom had really given him a lot, but he still wanted to ask for the fiefdom.
He himself said before that first-class people received first-class treatment and should also assume first-class obligations. When it was his turn, he thought that he would get 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 getting deeper and deeper. If it weren't for Alyssa today, he would not even realize that the erosion of Chaos is coming back.
Now the condition given by Alice Searle is simple:
First, you have to show the value of a fiefdom. The Iron Queen does not believe in future warriors.
Second, it is basically impossible to grant Aaron a land within the direct control of the royal family, but Aaron can find it from outside.
Therefore, Aaron focused his attention on Arabelle.
It’s time to do something for the kingdom!
Many shares of Cormyr Company are controlled by orcs.
He does not intend 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 Aaron Salian!
I just don’t know if these orcs have enough heads?
Is it enough to satisfy that good brother?
Updated, the second update is finally here! Ha ha ha ha!
