Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Although Claire set a preliminary goal, her first task was to meet Duke Booker.

After all, she had publicly said before she set out that she would go to the Duke's house to express her condolences. If she hung out outside for too long, it would inevitably cause criticism from others.

"Heh... there's nothing to talk about anyway. I just want to see what the old guy is like."

"Your Highness, how about the three of us go there first? As long as we control the fuel processing vehicle, those people can't run far even if they want to."

Most of the people in the convoy were just honorary nobles who joined. They rented these trucks just to make money. If they couldn't make money in this way, they would have no loyalty.

Claire certainly understood this truth, and knew that honorary nobles were actually more snobbish than ordinary people - so she didn't hesitate and gave orders to the convoy directly.

"All trucks will stay in this village for a while. If you can get a transport order here, you can go by yourself. I will be back in about two days, and then I will continue to take you to a place where you can make more money."

Her Highness the Princess has spoken directly, so the honorary nobles certainly dare not have any opinions.

After briefly explaining the things that need to be paid attention to to the trusted non-commissioned officers in charge of the fuel trucks, Keliya drove away from the bustling village with Karin and Zhuying.

"Sister Karin, what are you and Zhuying practicing recently?"

"Because Miss Qianyun can complete the work of guarding the young master and daily management by herself, we decided to change our roles... Well, I can't explain what it is specifically, just think of us as practicing a combination skill."

"Combination skill? It sounds very powerful..."

Because Keliya often did combat training with the two of them before, she also knew their fighting methods very well.

Karin can control spiritual power freely. She only needs to release a large amount of spiritual power when attacking to destroy the defense of fighting spirit or magic.

As for the Spider Sakura, it purely relies on its own weight and speed to attack the opponent. Even if the opponent has prepared defense in advance, it will be quickly consumed by the continuous strong impact.

"Report. What we practiced is indeed a combination technique. After the combination, I will decompose my body and temporarily stack it on this guy, camouflaging and transforming into other forms to exert more powerful power."

-At this time, the cherry-haired maid who was flying side by side with the off-road vehicle explained it specifically to Keliya.

Because Keliya had seen the alien spider-like body of the Spider Sakura, she could roughly imagine what the so-called combination meant.

"In other words, you can change into other forms and let Sister Karin go in and drive?"

"That's probably it. If Your Highness wants to see it, we will show you a chance later."

"There will definitely be a chance...ah, I really want to tear down that old guy's house directly!"

Because such an action will definitely cause trouble for Aarons, Keliya can only talk about it now.

...

After driving all night, Keliya finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Dukedom.

The Dukedom is more than three times larger than the Border Territory, and most of the cities here are built around the magic source stone veins. But Booker City was built in a place without any resources, and even water and food had to be transported out.

This may be the arrogance of the Duke's family-their wealth is indeed enough to allow such a city to operate stably.

"Oh, this place looks even better than the Imperial Capital."

"The outer city circle of the Imperial Capital was designed and built by the Booker family... and they also took the opportunity to get a lot of industries."

A family that is extremely good at business will certainly not miss any way to make money.

And the Booker family's power has long penetrated every corner of the empire. Without them, the basic operation of the empire will be in trouble.

"Although I really want to kill this family, if they are gone, the empire will be in chaos."

Unless Claire can ensure that a puppet can take the throne, the people of this family really can't be killed indiscriminately-once the Booker family completely collapses, many industries in the empire will quickly collapse.

The massive unemployment and inflation that will occur at that time will soon bring down the empire.

"This city doesn't look like there will be any memorial ceremony... You can't park your car outside, just drive in."

Although she expected that she might be stopped by the guards outside for inspection, as soon as Claire drove the car to the entrance, a group of people dressed as servants came up directly.

"Your Highness, welcome to Booker City. The Duke is already at the mansion.We have been waiting for a long time. Please allow us to guide you to the shortcut to the Duke's Mansion. "

These people have been waiting for me here for a long time?

Looking at these servants who are dressed in strict uniform and well-trained, Claire frowned-she didn't think it was a good thing.

The other party was so attentive to send people to wait for me, there must be other plans.

"Then lead the way."

"Excuse me, are there only two attendants of your Highness?"

"Just two people and a car, is there a problem?"

In order to maintain the dignity of a member of the royal family, Claire took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on her face-and after matching her long boots and shorts with a tank top and a short-sleeved jacket, she gave people an even more unrestrained impression.

Of course, the hobby of racing is outrageous.

"No... please just follow me. "

Because Karin had gotten off the car before entering the city, only Claire was in the car now.

The servants who were responsible for leading the way walked slowly to the front of the car and began to lead Claire.

"Wow... So that's the plan."

These people didn't seem to be in a hurry to take Her Royal Highness to the destination - and as they walked slowly, passers-by gradually gathered around them.

"Aren't those servants of the Duke's family? Who are the people in the car behind them?"

"Hush! That should be Her Royal Highness! Didn't you see that there were maids and alien guards beside the car?"

"Is Her Royal Highness really here? Why is she here when Master William is dead? She is really shameless. "

After using magic to enhance her hearing, Claire heard the discussions of passers-by around her.

The majesty of the royal family has no meaning here - this is the territory of Duke Booker, and the people here will naturally think about the problem from the Duke's perspective.

The nominal fiancé may have been killed by the man she had an affair with, but she still came to condole with false feelings... These people who have more or less received favors from the Duke's family will certainly not have any good comments on her.

But at this time, Claire was thinking about something else.

"Husband... have you always been under such pressure in the past?"
