Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"No, this...why don't you think about it for a bit?"

"I've thought it through very clearly. Since you said that the things in the past don't count, what's the problem with me abandoning those and starting from scratch?"

There's no problem in logic, but there's a big problem in emotion!

"No...since we have to start from scratch, can't you choose a better person?"

"In my eyes, the best person is Mr. Aarons, there's no need to choose anyone else."

...It was a straight punch!

Aarons had never seen this type of woman in his two lives - when he was in love in his previous life, he had been fighting with that woman for a long time. However, in the end, he lost his passion in the constant speculation and internal friction, and ended the relationship that lasted for several years.

However, the princess standing in front of him now not only did not intend to fight with him at all, but also did not even say the polite words that might cause speculation and internal friction.

"Hey, what are you talking about! No... Are you really sure!"

"Hehe, I have the confidence and ability to train you into a man who matches me. You should understand this, right, Marquis?"

After expressing her thoughts in an almost arrogant tone, Claire suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed Aarons' collar, and forcibly pulled his face in front of her.

Although the veil still completely covered her face like a mist, the warm fragrance of orchids blew on Aarons' face with her breath.

"You should experience the unreasonable willfulness of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Senior."

Claire was indeed someone the young master knew when he was studying at the Imperial Capital College... This made Aarons even more entangled.

After all, he was an outsider and could not perfectly play the role of Aarons Moti. If Claire found out one day in the future that the person she liked was just an actor in disguise, she would definitely be hurt more.

So he had to stop her in advance.

"Your Highness... No, Claire, I want to make a deal with you."

"Oh? Go ahead."

The princess, who was in a good mood because she was called by her name, let go of Aarons' hand. Aarons, after tidying up his clothes, also thought of his own words.

"You have to wear the veil to hide your face here. I'm afraid there is a secret that even I can't know? And what I want to tell you is that I actually have a secret that I can't tell others casually."

Because he guessed that there must be some secret hidden in the veil, Aarons also planned to make a contract with the princess for this reason.

"When you are willing to face me with your true face, I will also tell you this secret. Since everyone has something they don't want the other to know, then mutual exchange is the most appropriate choice, right?"

But if the princess really took off the veil at this time, Aarons would be completely helpless.

"...You found it, you are really sharp."

It seems that he made the right bet this time.

Let's not speculate why Claire covered her face even in her private space. Aarons's precautions were already taken.

——As long as there is such a gap first, the pain of separation will be less.

"Because I do have some private reasons that are hard to say, so I agree to this deal... After we are all ready, we can exchange our secrets."

Aarons doesn't understand women's psychology very well, so he can't guess why Claire hides her face.

Maybe this is just a custom of the royal family. I have heard in my previous life that women in some places cannot show their faces before they get married.

"Okay, let's stop talking about personal matters. I guess you came here on purpose mainly because you don't know what to say at the press conference tomorrow, right?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Because I don't know if you and the Third Prince have made arrangements in advance. If I say something wrong tomorrow, it might affect important plans."

After turning the topic back to business in time, Aarons stopped speculating about Claire's secret.

"Then my answer to you is - there is no arrangement. No matter what decision you make tomorrow, I will acquiesce. Even if you say you want to withdraw from the Battle of Zhengrong with me, there will be no problem."

"I don't plan to withdraw, please rest assured."

...

When Aarons took a short break and wanted to say something else, a maid with neat dark purple short hair and an appearance of about thirty years old suddenly walked in from the side door of the room,In her hand, she was holding a tray with a teapot, teacups and snacks.

Although she looked like an ordinary maid, the noble temperament of this woman in her gestures was obviously not comparable to that of a maid.

"Your Highness, you should take a break. The same goes for the Marquis. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you for bringing these here, Teacher Jiangyue."

"Please sit down first."

Teacher? Is this maid the princess's private teacher? Since she can interrupt the princess's conversation at will, her identity is probably not ordinary.

"Is the Marquis curious about my identity? I am your magic mentor and have been with you for more than ten years, but now I am just your maid."

"Excuse me, what should I call you, ma'am?"

"Please call me Jiangyue."

This beautiful and dignified woman with a little mature charm actually has a higher status than Aarons, an honorary noble.

Not to mention that the attendants of the royal family members have a status similar to that of nobles. As a personal maid and private teacher, this woman can actually be regarded as the princess's official agent.

"Teacher Jiangyue is an honorary earl and the full agent of this palace for external affairs. If the Marquis has any needs for magic study or technology development, she can go to assist."

It seems that Claire actually planned to introduce this woman to herself from the beginning - whether as a public liaison or a personal assistant, if there is such a middleman, there can be a buffer between the two.

"If this is the case, I do have an unwelcome request... I hope that Ms. Jiangyue can go to the Marquis's mansion when she is free and give some pointers to the children with magic talents that my family has taken in."

"I agree. Teacher Jiangyue, you can arrange your own time."

"For some reasons, I can only teach some theoretical knowledge now. If the Marquis doesn't mind, I can visit you tomorrow afternoon and discuss this matter with you alone."

Aarons was of course very happy.

——Let’s not talk about the effectiveness of today’s communication with the princess, at least I have found the magic teacher I had been thinking about for a long time.
