Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Aarons's strategy quickly exerted a huge effect.

After the third prince publicly announced that "the Kingdom of Cadia is preparing for war and is about to invade the border territory of the Empire", the Empire, shocked by the news, immediately sent a diplomatic note to Cadia.

After all, the war between the two countries ended less than 20 years ago, and the people of the Empire still remember what happened at that time - so at this time, no one dared to say "Cadia and the Empire are friendly neighbors, so there is no possibility of war."

After receiving the diplomatic note, Cadia not only immediately denied this statement, but also decided to send an envoy to visit the Empire, trying to clarify this false rumor to all the people of the Empire.

[The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the Empire will send a delegation to hold a formal meeting with the Cadian envoys, and the meeting place will be set in the rumored Western Border Territory that is about to be invaded. 】

The Empire specifically chose to meet with the Cadian envoys in the place where the Cadians might invade, which is actually a small strategy to appease the people and suppress the opponent.

——Of course the Empire will not give up its territory to others casually. Since you Cadians say you don't want to go to war with the Empire, then prove your point on this land you want the most.

"Sure enough... Who are the envoys of the Empire?"

"The envoys are led by the eldest prince Quinlan Armand and Duke Scott, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and several officials... Marquis, it seems that our enemy is one of these people."

Obviously, Duke Scott is the most suspicious - as one of the three dukes, he may indeed have unpredictable ambitions.

As for the eldest prince Quinlan... It is very likely that he was brought by the Duke as a smokescreen.

"Wait until they come and test it again. In addition, I don't know much about Duke Scott. Teacher Jiangyue, do you know anything?"

"The current Duke Scott is a fifth-level magician and an agent of the Magician Guild in the Empire. His territory doesn't have any special products, but there are a lot of magicians."

Magicians are less in number than fighting warriors, and can also be used to drive specific magic devices, so they are also a strategic resource.

But magicians are human after all. If they are not treated properly, they may choose to leave their original place.

"But I have met Duke Scott several times before. The old guy is a scholar who has been immersed in magic for almost his entire life. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would betray his country for a little benefit."

"Maybe someone has offered him a price he can't refuse... Anyway, let's assume that he is the one who is causing trouble."

Even if Duke Scott is not the traitor, he is one of the nobles that Aarons wants to exclude.

In order to protect their own interests, these nobles not only murdered Marquis Moti, but also asked the princess to submit to their rules.

So whether it is for revenge or to protect his family, he will not let these people continue to exist.

"My Lord, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has written a letter to you."

Due to concerns that the spiritual conversation would be eavesdropped, Aarons and the Third Prince have now completely switched to the original letter mode of communication.

However, with Mo Qianyun who can use the flying wings, it only takes less than half an hour to send a letter back and forth.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me see... Did the eldest prince contact him privately and say he wanted to have a private meeting with me?"

This is quite interesting.

Because of Keliya's past disfigurement, Aarons originally planned to wipe out the eldest prince and the second prince together.

But now it seems that he might be able to take advantage of the conflict between them and the nobles.

In fact, most people in the empire know that although the empire is nominally ruled by the royal family, in fact, most of the royal power has long been hollowed out by the nobles of the fiefdom.

The country's strategic resources are controlled by the nobles, domestic trade has been controlled for a long time, and even the new nobles appointed by the royal family will be secretly liquidated - this kind of prince in the royal family must have been dominated by the nobles long ago.

If this eldest prince has a little bit of backbone, he will definitely not want to inherit such a humiliating throne.

"Qianyun, please go again and tell Luo Lan that I can go to see the eldest prince...but I have to choose the location."

The eldest prince must want to use this opportunity to completely get rid of Duke Scott's control, and Aarons also wants to use this opportunity to eliminate Duke Scott.

"Teacher Jiangyue, what kind of person is the eldest prince on the surface?"

"You should have heard that the eldest prince has always been called a friendly prince who loves the people like his own children by all walks of life in the empire. He often uses his own money to help the poor, so he has a high support rate among the people."

If this guy hadn't murdered his sister before, Aarons might stillI really think he is a good man.

However, Aarons also knew that he created such a persona specifically to lay the foundation for breaking free from the control of the nobles.

If he can really get the support of most of the people, then the great nobles can't just do it to him.

"Hmph, I want to see what's under his skin."

...

The Cadia envoys soon arrived at the border of the empire.

Since the War of Honor was still going on and the honorary nobles were still fighting for territory, the meeting place was naturally set in the neutral Moti City.

In order to prevent the Cadians from finding an excuse to start a war, the Fourth Legion specially dispatched three elite squadrons to escort the Cadia envoys into Moti City.

And those free mercenaries wandering around the border were also cleared out.

[The Cadia envoys have entered Moti City, and the delegation led by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince will also arrive in Moti City in the afternoon. 】

For a meeting of this level, the media of the empire will of course follow the whole process. Although the media is not allowed to broadcast live at the meeting, they will still report it as quickly as possible after obtaining first-hand information.

[The Cadians, who once fought with the Empire for this territory for a long time, set foot on this land again today - but Marquis Moti, who once defeated them, is no longer here. 】

Although most people yearn for peace, this meeting will definitely not have any practical significance.

The Cadians will contact the traitors and sign a false peace agreement - and then when necessary, the agreement will be torn up immediately.

"I can't stop this war... but I at least want to find that damn traitor."

Aarons sometimes thinks - if he can put aside all his worries, will he live a more relaxed life?

But he can't do it... This character and this code of conduct are proof of why he is who he is.

If he loses these things, he will no longer be himself.

"My Lord, the Third Prince has informed you that the First Prince will come to the Marquis's Mansion to see you in three hours."

"Then let's go. My safety is in your hands, Qianyun... and Yalu."

"Brother, nothing will happen."

——But when facing the enemy, I will not show any mercy.
