Chapter 135
"My Lord Marquis! I know I was wrong! Please spare me!"
Because Aarons knew who really invited him, he didn't want to get entangled with these little people.
"Hmph, then I'll let you go this time. Also, let these people with poor eyesight go out to guard the door, so that they can practice their eyesight."
"Yes, yes...you guys! Get out of here!"
Although the power in his hands can easily crush these little people, Aarons doesn't think he will be satisfied with it.
- His target is those who are more powerful.
"Okay, Baron, you specially invited me here, there must be some "important things" to discuss, right?"
After hearing a certain key word that Aarons emphasized, the short and fat man immediately nodded in panic.
He was originally a cover, of course he knew why Aarons came here - so he immediately took the initiative to invite Aarons and Keliya into the house of the mansion, and personally took them to the third floor.
"Marquis, Marquis, I am just a messenger, please don't blame me..."
"I know, you don't have to be so scared."
"Right, right here... This time, it was actually the gentleman inside who invited you, I am just doing the job for money..."
After waving his hand impatiently to let the baron leave, Aarons took the initiative to open the door of the VIP room.
——He deliberately didn't knock on the door, intending to use this rude behavior to test the other party's attitude.
"So, who has to find this Marquis at this time?"
And when Aarons rudely pushed the door and walked into this room that only distinguished guests could enter, he was surprised to find that there was only a gentleman with a mustache in this room, who looked about thirty years old.
"I have heard a lot about you, Marquis Aarons."
"...Who are you?"
Although this man was just sitting at the long table sipping tea, his every move revealed a full sense of nobility.
This must be a real aristocrat who has lived a high-end life for a long time.
"Since the Marquis has come here, it means that he has seen through the little tricks of my master. So I won't keep you in suspense - I am Lord Scott, the eldest son of Duke Scott, and the only one who is qualified to inherit the Duke's family."
The heir of the Duke's family? Why would such a person come here?
The children of the nobles of the fiefdom usually do not get the title very quickly, and the designated heirs even have to wait until the previous generation of nobles officially pass on their titles before they can obtain the noble status.
But this does not mean that they have no rights and status.
"Wow, why would the heir of the Duke's family come to such a remote place to find a country noble like me?"
Aarons said contemptuously while slowly approaching the elegant man.
At this time, Keliya retreated to the door and concentrated on playing the role of a servant.
[Senior, I am not familiar with this person, and I may not be able to help you in the negotiation. ]
[It doesn't matter. ]
With Keliya here, at least I don't have to worry about safety issues.
So Aarons is not too nervous now. He is more curious about what the other party is going to say here.
Want to form an alliance with him in the Battle of Zhengrong? This man is not an honorary noble and has no qualifications to participate in the war.
If he just wants to say a few good words for the nobles supported by the Duke's family, there is no need for the Duke's heir to come in person.
"I came here specifically, of course I have something important to discuss with the Marquis."
"I didn't know that I would be remembered by the Duke."
"Humph, it seems that the Marquis is also a smart man, so I won't say so many useless polite words."
After putting down the teacup in his hand, the elegant man dusted his clothes and slowly stood up.
After standing up, the man suddenly released a sense of pressure from a superior.
"I came here to tell you... No, I am here to officially notify you on behalf of the three major Dukes - your engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess will be officially cancelled soon."
... Cancel?
Aarons had never expected that the other party would come to talk to him about this.
Is this the legendary plot of breaking off the engagement? No, there might be something else going on.
"What does this mean?"
"We have all seen the honor duel not long ago. The Marquis's speech at the time was quite inspiring and is indeed a model for nobles like me."
--This is not a polite remark.
Aarons almost guessed the reason why the other party brought up this matter, so he did not take the initiative to answer.
"The weak have the right to survive--this is indeedis the ultimate goal that the empire has always wanted to achieve. But Marquis, do you know what the premise is for the weak to have the opportunity to survive and develop? "
"...Is it because they are protected by the strong?"
"That's right. The reason why humans can seize the living space from the monsters is because the strong are willing to risk their lives to fight them."
This is not wrong. The humans in this world are still threatened by monsters.
If there are no fighting warriors and magicians, ordinary people can only become food for monsters. The country is the brain that controls these forces, allowing ordinary people to have the opportunity to survive.
"And Her Royal Highness is a strong person with excellent talents. Her strength is the weapon to protect the weak. And her precious talent should also be passed on as it deserves. "
"...Do you mean that I am not qualified to marry Her Royal Highness?"
"The Marquis is indeed a brilliant talent, but unfortunately-you have no talent for fighting. If Her Royal Highness really marries you, your offspring may just be ordinary people with mediocre talents. "
The Duke's heir's meaning is very clear.
Aarons has no talent for fighting, so if he marries the princess, their offspring may not be able to fully inherit the princess's talent.
He himself is the best example - Marquis Moti is a level 5 warrior, but his wife is just an ordinary person. So one of his two sons has no talent, and the other has extraordinary potential.
If it were a man, he could try a few more times by taking a concubine... But Her Royal Highness is a woman, and her best childbearing age is only a few years. Even if she uses all of it for childbearing, she can't give birth to many children.
"The empire is still at risk of being invaded by foreign enemies at any time, and monsters are still threatening citizens everywhere... So the empire must not give up any opportunity to cultivate strong people, and Her Royal Highness, who was born in the royal family, should set an example and contribute to maintaining the existing order and peace. "
These are indeed irrefutable truths - they are conclusions that can only be drawn by noble people from the perspective of the country.
But Aarons just felt a little depressed.
"Have you ever considered the feelings of Her Royal Highness the Princess herself?"
