Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Two days later, the Duke of Booker finally issued a brief statement.

——Duke Booker was deeply saddened by the unfortunate death of his heir William Booker, and would hold a memorial ceremony in the territory at a later date.

And then nothing happened.

This official statement puzzled most people in the empire - because although no one admitted it openly, almost everyone believed that William Booker's death was related to Aarons Moti.

Even if no one believed that Aarons could sink a warship, everyone still believed so.

"No one can provide decisive evidence now, so even if Duke Booker wants to send troops to attack me, he must consider the problem of having no reason to do so."

Although this avoids the possibility of a direct war, the other party's failure to take the initiative to retaliate also means that the worst guess before may have come true.

——Duke Booker is likely to be a traitor who has colluded with the Cadians. He is just waiting for the Cadians to invade the border territory, and then attack Aarons from front and back under the guise of sending troops to support.

"We may only have one or two months to prepare, so before the summer is over... we must eliminate the threat from one of the parties."

However, with Aarons' current strength, the possibility of deterring Cardia from invading the empire is very small. So he can only delay time as much as possible here, so that Keliya has the opportunity to get rid of Duke Booker first.

"Master, the Chamber of Commerce has recruited many honorary nobles who are willing to join, so Her Royal Highness the Princess has decided to lead the convoy to set off tomorrow."

"Are the fuel and consumables ready? After arriving at the Duke's territory, there may be no way to come back for supplies."

"There is a truck specially installed with special fuel processing equipment. Because several key components have been removed, it can only be started when Miss Zhu Ying simulates these components. So even if the equipment is really taken away, it will be difficult to find out our preparation process in a short time."

Because Her Royal Highness the Princess has even considered confidentiality, Aarons is no longer worried.

But this is a farewell after all-Aarons is of course reluctant to leave after establishing a stable relationship with Keliya.

"... That's it, I'll go talk to Keliya."

...

"Pan-Empire Business Community... Can you not give it a name that sounds like it will cause heavy losses?"

When Aarons found Keliya, Her Royal Highness was busy naming her Chamber of Commerce.

Surprisingly, Keliya actually had a serious naming problem - she picked dozens of names back and forth, but couldn't decide what the Chamber of Commerce should be called.

"No, it would be too tacky to call it Moti Chamber of Commerce! I must give it a nice and scary name!"

"We are just a Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't matter if it doesn't scare people..."

When the two people's discussion attracted Karin and Zhu Ying, and even Xia Ye, who came to check the situation, joined in, the official name of the Chamber of Commerce was decided reluctantly.

[White Wing] - This name comes from an ancient legend on the continent, it is a white bird that will bring war or prosperity.

As for what this white bird will bring to the Duke's family... there is no need to think about it.

"Also, I have to tell you, husband. I plan to leave tomorrow... The spy I had planted there reported to me yesterday that the Duke of Booker has not made any moves yet, and has not even started to recruit mercenaries or allocate military supplies."

"It seems that they are determined to wait for the Cardians to take action first."

"This is also a good opportunity for us, so I don't plan to delay any more time."

Keliya has made up her mind to personally eliminate this threat for Aarons. So Aarons didn't intend to interfere with her thoughts, but just reminded her to be careful.

And of course, the others also left enough warm time for them-after all, after this separation, it is unknown how many months they will meet again.

...

Early the next morning, Keliya rushed to Moti City and issued a notice in her own name.

[In view of the unfortunate death of William Booker, this palace will go to the Duke of Booker's house on behalf of the royal family to express condolences. At the same time, the White Wing Chamber of Commerce will accompany this palace, hoping to seek opportunities for business cooperation with the Duke's family. 】

——This announcement was finalized after careful consideration by Aarons and others, with the purpose of confusing the outside world.

Although the princess had not previously acknowledged her engagement with the Booker family, she now took the initiative to visit the Dukedom to offer condolences. This unexpected move would inevitably make outsiders suspect that there had been some change in her relationship with Aarons.

BecauseAarons was fighting with the Booker family for the engagement with the princess, but as soon as William Booker died, the princess decided to lead the team to the Dukedom alone... How could a normal person let his fiancée go to the enemy alone?

Although the Prison Flower is still parked here for the time being, Aarons does not know magic and has no ability to command this warship.

So maybe there is really a conflict between the two... and it is very likely that some disagreement occurred when dealing with William Booker, which led to the change in the relationship.

"No matter what outsiders think, at least Duke Booker can't figure out Claire's true thoughts for a while."

In the eyes of ordinary people, Her Royal Highness may just not want to offend the Duke's family. But in the eyes of the nobles, this matter has another hidden meaning.

- The royal family may have considered giving up Aarons.

...

"There will definitely be more people who come to test me later, and I can also take the opportunity to pull out these nails."

Under Aarons' deliberate manipulation, public opinion in the empire changed rapidly.

Because the third prince Loran had already given instructions in advance, after Her Royal Highness the Princess led the team to set off, some media immediately published speculative reports such as "There was a rift in the relationship between Aarons and Her Royal Highness the Princess".

After these rumors spread, Aarons went to Moti City to accept media interviews.

"——No problem, absolutely no problem! If you continue to maliciously speculate on the relationship between me and Her Royal Highness, I will go to the Tribunal to sue you!"

Not only did he deliberately pretend to be furious and refute all speculations, he also firmly stated to the media that his relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess was unbreakable - this kind of performance that made people feel a little guilty at first glance naturally aroused suspicion from the outside world.

It seems that there is really a problem between the two.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that my reputation will return to what it was before."

Of course, except for a very small number of people who know the situation, no one knows that this is just Aarons' cover for Keliya.

When the princess led the newly established [White Wing] Chamber of Commerce to leave the border territory in a grand manner, most people's attention was once again focused on Aarons.

——Will this honorary marquis who is obviously about to lose power be able to stir up any more waves in the future?

"As long as most people are still watching my movements, there will be fewer obstacles on the side of Keliya - so let them misunderstand, I should go and do my own thing."
