Chapter 148
"Marquis, I just discussed with Miss Yang, you should indeed arrange an additional base."
"Xia Ye did say that before, but what is it used for?"
"Her Royal Highness has gathered her supporters, and there will be many people and materials to resist this side. Your courtyard alone will definitely not be able to handle it."
... Can you two discuss such a big thing normally in that state?
However, this is indeed an important issue. If the third prince starts to gather his own strength, then the Marquis's Mansion alone will definitely not be enough.
"According to the previous arrangement of Her Royal Highness, we will build a large base with complete functions near Cornell Village. In addition to the airport that can maintain the Prison Gate Flower, complete military facilities and manufacturing plants will also be deployed."
"Are you ready for war?"
"Although we should not go to war with the two princes within a year or so, we will not have much time left."
No one knows how the situation will change in the future, so many things cannot be delayed.
Although the eldest prince and the second prince have not publicly expressed their opinions, they are definitely preparing to deal with the challenge of the third prince.
It is still unknown how many talents and resources they have available.
"But Marquis, you don't have to worry too much about these things. You actually have the power to shake the order now, and you just need to make it stronger step by step."
Aarons certainly knew that he had excess high-end power in his hands, but it was not enough.
What he wanted to resist and subvert was a rule that people were accustomed to. So in addition to power, he also needed a reputation that people could recognize.
Whether it was to prove to the world that Aarons Moti was not a useless waste, or to seek justice for Keliya's experience, he had to make his name louder first.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Marquis, I just said in front of everyone that I wanted to thank you, and this matter is serious."
At this point, Jiang Yue took the initiative to sit opposite Aarons-she put her face on her raised hands, and her eyebrows showed a gentle smile again.
If Aarons was still the same age as in his previous life, he would definitely ask Jiangyue if she was willing to talk to him about life and the future.
But now, it is better not to destroy the newly stable interpersonal relationship.
"Although what Miss Yang said is a bit difficult, if you have other wishes to realize, I will do my best to help you realize them."
"This, let me think--"
"Teacher Jiangyue, I think it should be okay for you to really marry my brother-in-law, right? After all, you are still the maid of the emperor's sister, and according to the rules of the empire, you should be married as a dowry."
What nonsense is this brat talking about!
Isn't she your teacher too! How dare you arrange her marriage casually!
Besides, when she first came here, she said directly that she had been married before, and she didn't want to forget her original husband... Wouldn't it embarrass everyone if you mention this kind of thing!
"...So there is such a rule."
Aarons thought Jiang Yue would be irritated by Luo Lan's words, but after hearing this, the beautiful sage just shook her head gently, and showed a very obvious bitter expression.
That was not disgust or resistance, but seemed to have another hidden story——
"Sorry, Marquis, I still..."
"Teacher Jiang Yue, don't worry about it, it's just Luo Lan's joke... If you can, please help me make some magic props that can save my life."
"Is that so... That's no problem."
Aarons is certainly not a fool with lust in his mind. He knows very well that he doesn't have the ability to make people open their hearts easily.
And Jiang Yue was obviously shaken but still planned to continue to cover up. It is very likely because their relationship is not close enough to talk about the past casually.
Although he has little experience in love, Aarons' ability to read people's expressions in his previous life still allows him to decisively judge the current boundary between the two.
—— Mentioning feelings or past things now will only make the other party disgusted, so it is better to be cautious.
"That's it for now, Marquis. Miss Yang will talk to you about the specific plan later, so I'll go back to the research room first."
In order to prevent Luo Lan from saying anything embarrassing, Aarons immediately stared at the young prince's face with a fierce look.
And until Jiang Yue left the room, his expression finally returned to normal.
...
"...If you always talk nonsense without considering the occasion, you will be disloyal when you become the emperor in the future."
"Well...Brother-in-law, I think Jiang YueTeacher Yue should be interested in you, right? After all, you gave her the opportunity to use magic again after she had been unable to use it for hundreds of years. If it were me, I would definitely pledge my love to you. "
"So you are still just a brat now... Tsk, didn't you notice that her respectful title for me has never changed?"
Although he is just a novice in terms of feelings, Aarons still has social experience.
He knows that the title is an important basis for judging interpersonal relationships - although Jiang Yue attributed all the things about her regaining magical abilities to him, it does not mean that he can knock on the closed door in her heart.
She may never forget Aarons' kindness, or she may have sincere respect and loyalty to Aarons. But the title that still has a sense of distance is clearly telling everyone who can hear it - her gratitude actually does not have any elements related to "love".
"She only respects and thanks me at most now, and she has not yet reached the level of developing feelings... It's your own business if you feel that you will be moved, don't think that others will have the same idea as you. ”
“Uh, brother-in-law, I was wrong…”
“You also know that Teacher Jiangyue was married before and had a husband she once loved, right? If she has been single until now because she doesn’t want to forget that feeling, wouldn’t it be an insult to the memories she has been guarding until now if I suddenly intervene like this?”
Aarons knew very well what kind of selfishness and greed he had. Of course, he hoped that there would be as many women around him as possible. But having such desires does not mean that he must abandon his moral principles.
——Like Claire at that time, he would never satisfy his desires by trampling on the feelings of others.
“But if other people encountered such a thing, they would most likely make such a request, right?”
“Others are others, and I am me. I have my own principles. Don’t just put other people’s ideas on me.”
After hearing Aarons firmly express his will, Luo Lan, who was originally a little unconvinced, finally showed an expression of admiration.
“It’s amazing… No wonder my sister likes you, brother-in-law. "
"Take a break. You won't get any benefit from praising me like this."
...
--However, the two men who were chatting did not notice that there was actually someone hiding behind the door of the room, quietly eavesdropping on their conversation.
"No... Actually, I just don't want to repeat the same mistake."
But these sad words were not conveyed to anyone.
