Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"...That's what happened. Did you two understand?"

After returning to the mansion before the old gardener, Aarons immediately called Karin and Mary to the study.

After briefly explaining the news he and Els had heard, Aarons leaned back in his chair with a distressed look on his face.

"The old man was threatened by the servants who escaped before? Those people are really shameless."

"The kid performed well. I thought he would rush in and confront those guys."

Aarons turned his head and looked at Els standing aside. The young man, who was in the rebellious period, was silently lowering his head at this time, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"So next, we have to think of a way."

"Master, I want to ask you a question first."

I thought Els would remain silent, but Aarons was about to say what he thought when he was suddenly interrupted by him.

"You were holding me down at that time... Were you afraid?"

"Ah, young master... Of course I was afraid."

Feeling that the boy seemed to resonate with his feelings, Aarons no longer wanted to put on the airs of a noble young master.

"I am a well-known loser, a weakling who can never even beat the imperial soldiers in my life. What would have happened if I had rushed in and faced those people at that time?"

"If there was a third-level strong person among those people, you would have been injured and become a hostage... Is that right?"

"Sometimes I wonder, if I were as strong as my father, could I solve the problem in a simpler way?"

But Aarons did not have such power. No matter what he wanted to do, he could only use the limited resources at hand.

"Although I have the status of a noble, it does not mean that I can scare off every desperado. Those bastards who stole the property of the Marquis and ran away, and now plan to run back to plunder again, will they care about my status as a noble?"

"But you are too spineless to run back like this!"

"... Els, you have the talent to become a warrior. When you break through the third level one day and become a man who can stand on your own, you can tell me what is backbone."

Aarons did not want to argue about this issue.

He wanted to live safely in this world without fighting power, and sometimes he had to give up certain things.

In other words, most of the time, the value of these things is not more important than life.

"Master, do you have any countermeasures?"

Although Els still did not quite understand Aarons's ideas at this time, Meili took the initiative to pull him aside and let Karin push the discussion process again.

"If there is a secret passage in the Marquis's mansion, I can't guarantee that the gang will not attack here tomorrow. So Karin, you stay at home tomorrow and protect the children and the Mo family couple."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to deal with those people alone?"

"I don't plan to die in such a place. No one should care what the old man does at home tomorrow. He should let Xia Ye go quietly when no one is paying attention, and then find a reason to take her to those people."

Aarons didn't want to take risks, but he didn't want to hand Xia Ye over to those scumbags. However, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, he could only let Xia Ye be the bait, and then find a way to rescue her.

"I will go out to find some helpers later, you just do your own thing, don't make trouble... Els, don't always think about being a hero before you have the strength."

Although the boy may not be able to listen to such words, Aarons, who is already 40 years old in his mind, still reminded him in the tone of an elder.

…

Old gardener Raul has always been just an ordinary person.

He was born in a village in this border area. He didn’t go to school for a few years when he was a child because of his poor family background. When he just became an adult, he caught up with the war between the empire and the neighboring countries.

Because he was not strong enough to become a soldier, he was constantly driven by the war and forced to wander. But after Marquis Moti, who was not a noble at the time, came here, he got a stable job.

At first, he became a member of the transport team as a civilian, and followed Marquis Moti, who was only an officer at the time, to fight everywhere. After the war, he was lucky to find a job in the Marquis’s house.

In the end, Raul finally got a stable life when he was nearly fifty years old - but the good times didn’t last long.

Because the harassment from neighboring countries was still going on at that time, villages were often attacked and looted. And Raul’s family in the village outside the city all died in a later attack.

Raul, who lost his family, finally chose to spend the rest of his life in the Marquis’s house.Even though he was too old to continue working, he still had no intention of leaving.

The Marquis at that time knew his situation very well, so he did not make things difficult for him at work.

"But old servant, I have not yet been able to repay the Marquis' kindness..."

When the news came that the Marquis' family had died in a plane crash, the eldest young master Aaron, who was left at home, suddenly fell into a coma. The servants who originally worked at the Marquis's house suddenly developed a strong desire.

——Since everyone in the Marquis's family is dead, no one will pursue these things if they take them away.

The greedy servants took away almost everything in the Marquis's house, and Raul reserved a rest room for the unconscious young master after desperately begging these former colleagues.

Although he had no idea whether the young master could inherit the position of the Marquis, the old man still planned to do his best to support the only bloodline of the Marquis's family.

"...Can't, let the young master get hurt."

Unfortunately, a few days after the young master woke up, several servants who were supposed to escape came back here for some reason. They stopped Raul who was out buying things on the street and told him the plan to attack the Marquis's Mansion.

These people asked Raul to provide them with money as much as possible, otherwise they would immediately return to the Marquis's Mansion through a secret passage, kill the young master and take away everything inside.

Because he couldn't resist the power of these people, the old man could only quietly take the money that the young master left for the children and give it to the other party.

——But this time, those people didn't want money.

"Young master, the old servant is really incompetent... The old servant can't resist these evil people. In order to protect your safety, he can only..."

So on this day, when it was about to enter the middle of the night and everyone had fallen asleep, the old man quietly came to the basement where someone was imprisoned.

"...Miss, Miss Xia Ye, wake up."

"Mr. Raul? What do you want to see my daughter at this time?"

"I, I know that my daughter definitely didn't steal the money from home. But the young master seems to have admitted his mistake... So I will let you out quietly now, and you should leave this house as soon as possible."

The old gardener Raul has been thinking about the future of the Marquis's family from beginning to end -

"This... After my daughter goes out, where should she go?"

"... I have found a few reliable young people to help, they are waiting for you outside... Just follow them to a safe place."

So this outsider is just a tool for him to protect the Marquis's family.
