Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Aarons got a reply soon.

The Third Prince was not only willing to meet him, but also took the initiative to invite him to dinner - even after confirming the time, he specially sent several Royal Guards to serve as his guards on the road.

It was too late to regret now.

"How about this, Karin, you should stay at home with the children first, I'll ask Xia Ye to pick me up after finishing... Damn it, what is this Third Prince thinking?"

"Hey, don't let me go? That's really boring."

"Business is important, don't make trouble for now."

Aarons always felt that he had overlooked some key details, but he couldn't think of an answer.

After waiting at home for a while, the Royal Guards came to the door of the Marquis's Mansion. And Aarons went out alone after simply tidying up his appearance.

Although it was indeed a bit dangerous, he changed into clothes made by Xia Ye inside and out this time. As long as he was not attacked continuously by magic or fighting spirit in a short period of time, there would be no problem in saving his life.

"Mr. Marquis, we are knights of the third squadron of the Royal Guards. We are under the orders of His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Majesty to protect your safety in the city of Moti."

"Oh... I forgot that I am now a marquis. Please thank His Majesty for his care. I will personally thank His Royal Highness the Prince."

The three knights who came to greet the black armor and silver emblems all hid their faces with helmets, and Aarons also maintained appropriate vigilance against them.

"Please follow us."

"Then I will trouble you to protect me."

Not to mention whether there will be enemies sneaking in, the emperor and the third prince still have the possibility of murdering the marquis' family. However, in this city full of reporters and nobles, no one will risk being known by the whole empire and rashly attack Aarons.

"Hey, look... isn't that the useless young master?"

"The three people around him are the Royal Guard Knights, right? Did the Third Prince summon him?"

"I don't know. Let's see if there's a report in the newspaper tomorrow."

Because the streets were full of people, the knights didn't bring a pack animal cart to greet them. Aarons followed them on foot through several streets before finally arriving at the hotel where the Third Prince was staying.

——This is the most luxurious hotel in Moti City. Usually only wealthy businessmen from outside would choose to stay here. But from today on, this is the temporary palace of the Third Prince.

"Please wait here, Lord Marquis. I'll apply for entry and exit permission for you."

The hotel has been completely covered by a huge magic barrier, which seems to be more advanced than the one used in the Marquis's Mansion. Although Aarons doesn't know much about magic, he knows that this kind of barrier should be released and maintained by a special magician.

——If you use external psychic energy like your own family, if the psychic energy pipeline is destroyed, the barrier will immediately become invalid.

"It's all right, Marquis. You can come and go here as you please from now on."

"As you please? Your Highness, don't you worry about me... No, it's nothing."

Thinking that he had no ability to threaten others, Aarons no longer questioned such a decision.

The other party obviously wanted to communicate with him, but Aarons didn't know the reason. But since he was here, there would be no problem chatting with him.

So, Aarons walked into the hotel alone under the gaze of the black-armored knight.

...

"Marquis, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

After being led to the top floor of the hotel by a waiter, Aarons finally met the young prince, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, in the luxurious guest room.

——He does look a bit like the emperor, but his slightly timid and melancholy look makes him look like a boy next door who doesn't like to go out.

"Your humble servant Aarons Moti greets His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"Marquis, there is no need to be polite, just call me Roland."

To show his humility, Aarons knelt on one knee and saluted Roland, the Third Prince. However, the young man did not seem to like this formal etiquette, but took the initiative to wave to Aarons and asked him to sit down at the table with a sumptuous meal.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the Marquis on his succession to the position of head of the family - you are now the only honorary Marquis in the empire, and you are already the pinnacle of honorary nobles."

"This is the first time I have heard of this."

Aarons finally knew the source of his sense of deviation.

The title of honorary nobles generally does not exceed that of earl. According to the rule that the title of non-heir children is reduced by at least two levels, even the children of the Duke can only obtain the title of honorary earl at most.

And Aarons not only retained the title of marquis,He can even receive an annual salary from the empire - this is enough to make outsiders imagine.

"In my opinion, my father should want to let the marquis serve as a minister at the right time."

"Everyone knows that I am stupid and incompetent, so I dare not take on this important task. Please advise your majesty on my behalf and hope that your majesty will reconsider the candidate."

"Alas... Can you stop talking so arrogantly? I am tired of listening to you."

Just as Aarons was still thinking about what to say next, the young prince suddenly waved his hand at him with annoyance.

This young man really didn't seem to like this kind of literary way of speaking, and his expression was a little strange when he looked at Aarons.

"There is no one else here, and I won't tell others what you said. Just relax and treat me as... your brother."

What? My brother? Being my brother is a life of death!

Aarons shouted in his heart, but on the surface he deliberately put on an embarrassed expression.

After all, he knew in his previous life that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Although this young man does not seem to have the aura of a king, it is very likely that he is just very cunning and will not show it.

"Your Highness's two elder brothers are well known to the world. How can I compare with those two princes?"

"Pedant... You will know your mistake in a few days..."

The young man seemed to mutter something in a low voice, but Aarons did not hear it clearly.

"Forget it, I invited the Marquis here this time to ask a few important questions."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I heard that the Marquis is not married yet, so has the Marquis chosen a person to be engaged to now?"

Why does everyone have to ask this question again? Is it important whether I get married or not! ?

...No, what the third prince really wants to ask may be "Do you plan to participate in this battle?"

After all, I have almost no resources at hand now. Unless I can find a partner to make a marriage contract immediately, I can't even get through the threshold of the door.

"I haven't found a suitable candidate yet, so I plan to wait and see before making a decision."

"Really? That's great. Then Marquis, please sign this application first."

"Thank you... for what?"

Looking at the young man suddenly smiling and handing over an application form, Aarons' brain crashed for a moment.

I didn't say I wanted to participate, so why are you asking me to sign up?
