Chapter 57: Honored
(3000 words of big chapter, ask for recommendation votes~!)
(PS: Some people have asked why you don't use the chip to directly scan the strength of those soldiers, which involves the difference between 'data scanning' and 'detection scanning', and there are some things that can't be scanned by the current chip, such as the mysterious power of wizards, and even the ability to interfere with the operation of the chip.)

(I'll mention these in detail again later - to put it simply, the conditions for 'data scanning' is 'distance' are very harsh, just like when Aaron 'stole' books and scanned Viscount Steve, I deliberately described them being at a fairly close distance, anyway, 'data scanning' is not as convenient as 'detection scanning', and the above words are not counted in the 3000 words, so feel free to eat this chapter.) )
"Lord Eric, could it be that the other five loyal and valiant soldiers are just as powerful and respectable 'knights' as your lord?"
When Eric heard Aaron's inquiry, he immediately retorted, "Although they are just ordinary soldiers—ordinary soldiers who have not even reached the rank of quasi-knight. However, their loyalty to His Highness Ronald is worth believing after being tested along the way, and they are all warriors who are absolutely loyal to the Chino royal family!"
"Therefore they deserve to be rewarded for their loyalty, and even if you feel difficult and crowded, you must spare a carriage for me to ride on them—it is a reward for their loyalty!"
"Butler Aaron, you have to leave the carriage empty for me no matter what, do you understand!"
Hearing Eric's words, Aaron's mouth drew a strange smile that was not easy to detect, and he couldn't help but bury his head deeper, so as to hide the 'weird' expression on his face that was completely inconsistent with the words in his mouth.
"Yes~!Lord Eric, I will definitely do this to your satisfaction!"
Obviously, Eric didn't hear the well-concealed trace of 'joy' in Aaron's words at all, and seeing Aaron's 'humble' respectful appearance, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and the expression on his face softened a little:
"Seeing that you are young, it is not easy to reach the quasi-knight, you must know that when I was your age, I was only the peak of the quasi-knight level, and I just touched the threshold of the official knight!"
"Since you can reach my sixty percent level back then, which is still a good talent, I think you have a good chance of breaking through to a full-fledged knight in the future, work hard, don't waste this qualification. ”
These words caused the corners of Viscount Steve's mouth to twitch, and his face became a little strange, and he had to lower his head in the same way, hiding the expression on his face well.
As for the others behind them, as if they suddenly understood something, the soldiers quickly lowered their heads, not daring to let their expressions be seen by Eric, while the servants quietly covered their mouths with their hands, bowed their heads and twitched their shoulders from time to time, as if they were enduring something.
At this time, only the simple-minded Angel had not yet reacted, looking at Aaron's back with a puzzled expression, and couldn't understand why this 'demonic' bad guy wanted to lie and deceive that Eric - he was obviously an official knight, but he wanted to call himself a quasi-knight-level existence, and by the way, he also changed his identity to 'Aaron's butler'!
Is he still planning to compete with Jerry for a 'job'?
At the same time, the expression of the real butler, Jerry's butler, was even more exciting, and he had a faint guess about Aaron's next move, and a storm was set off in his heart, but he didn't dare to show a trace of abnormality, so he could only bow his head tightly like everyone else, and secretly scolded himself:
"Lord Aaron's city and scheming are truly terrifying........ However, the most daunting thing is not this, but ........."
Jerry raised his head slightly, stared at Aaron's back with a hint of fear, and sighed in his heart:
"That chilling decisiveness and determination!"
Obviously, most of the soldiers and servants under the command of the viscount understood the meaning of Aaron's actions, and they lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to show the slightest abnormality, so as not to be discovered by Eric.
Naturally, Eric didn't notice the subtle changes in his subordinates, because in his mind, these pariahs didn't even have the qualifications to let him look at them squarely, let alone pay attention to their details.
At the same time, Aaron sneered to himself when he heard Eric's assessment of his strength as 'not bad', and boasted about his own knightly talent, but a look of sincere fear was made on his face.
"Lord Eric was able to become an official knight at such a young age, and I think you are also a well-known genius in the royal capital, and we and other young people from small and remote places naturally can't compare with Lord Eric. ”
Eric was praised by Aaron, and the whole person was fluttering, and the look on his face became frivolous, and he immediately forgot all about Aaron's previous 'disrespectfulness', and even Aaron's appearance in his eyes became a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this, Aaron knew that Eric had let his guard down on himself, and a subtle smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head again, pretending to be a silent wooden man, quietly waiting for things to develop in the direction he expected.
"Okay, you all don't talk nonsense~!"
Prince Ronald was a little impatient, interrupted the conversation between Eric and Aaron, and directly turned to Viscount Steve and ordered: "Steve, I ask you to escort me to the port of Ecovacs in the Finnish Empire in the future, and all other requests are done according to what Eric said, do you have any opinion on this?"
"The minister obeys the orders of His Highness. ”
Viscount Steve bowed his head in response to Prince Ronald's inquiry, however, his eyes flickered a little as he looked straight at the ground beneath his feet.......
Prince Ronald naturally didn't know anything about this, and after he heard Viscount Steve's reply, he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay~!Steve, you have made a fairly correct choice, don't worry, I won't treat my loyal servants badly!"
When he said this, Prince Ronald seemed full of confidence, because he had that 'token' in his hand - enough for him to become a powerful existence in the future, with the capital to restore the country!
Even though the current situation in the Kingdom of Chino is very critical, this is the reason why Prince Ronald does not appear to be overly worried.
When Prince Ronald saw that 'the overall situation has been decided', he immediately relaxed his guard in his heart and instructed Steve: "Okay, you guys hurry up and tidy up your things, and strive to get on the road as soon as possible, don't delay any longer." ”
"By the way, you can send me a few maids........ Wait, I'll pick it myself. ”
Ronald swept his gaze, and immediately pointed to one of Viscount Steve's wives and concubines, Lady Reese, and said with a casual expression: "Well, she's good, let's send her to my carriage first........"
The words completely ignored Viscount Steve's opinion, as if it were a matter of course.
Next, Ronald continued to sweep his gaze casually, and suddenly, his gaze froze, and he hurriedly raised his hand to Angeli who was not far away, and shouted eagerly: "Steve, you take her too.......... Forget it, I don't want anyone else, I just want her!"
After saying that, Ronald looked at Steve unquestionably, as if swearing that he would achieve his ambition for Angeli.
Angeli's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "I don't want ~!, I don't want to go to his carriage!"
At the same time, Angeli's gaze involuntarily drifted to Aaron's.
Ronald, who had been paying attention to Angeli, of course, also noticed this, and immediately looked at Aaron with some confusion, and guessed in his heart about the relationship between them - could it be that they have a good impression of each other? Well, it seems that they may have some good feelings for each other, hmph, but what's the use of this? Can a butler compare to me as a prince?
Thinking of this, Ronald said directly: "She seems to be the daughter of Viscount Steve, right?
"Do you have any other comments on this?"
Ronald is not only asking Steve, but also implicitly asking Aaron.
Steve bowed his head to show silence, and Aaron, who had been keeping his head down, responded calmly:
"This is the honor of the ministers. ”
When Angeli, who was not far away, heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned bloodless pale, and her eyes looked at Aaron in disbelief, and Sakura couldn't speak.
When Ronald saw this scene, he immediately laughed, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph~, I'll just say, how can a butler compare with me? This is the gap brought about by the position of power - in the face of me as a prince, even Viscount Steve must bow his head, let alone a mere butler?"
"No matter how unwilling and reluctant this Aaron is in his heart, he can only obediently bow his head to me and confide in 'This is the honor of the ministers', this is the gap brought by the royal power, hahahaha......."
However, it seems that there is indeed a bit of affection between them, and it will be better to find an opportunity to get rid of that Aaron in the future. ”
Ronald, who was so oriented, couldn't wait to walk towards Angelie, and Eric next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw Viscount Steve and 'Aaron Butler' bowing their heads and being silent—this is the power of royal power!
When the difference in status between the two sides is large to a certain extent, everyone must bow to the other and surrender to the other party's feet!
Eric, as Prince Ronald's chief of the guard, knows this kind of royal power best. Especially when he saw Aaron and Viscount Steve 'surrendering' without suspense, he couldn't help but feel a sense of honor in his heart, coupled with Aaron's previous weakness, Eric finally completely relaxed his vigilance at this moment.
At the same time, Prince Ronald also walked towards Angel with an excited face, watching the other party's pale face and retreating, keeping a distance from himself, and suddenly a sense of 'cat and mouse' banter rose in his heart.
However, just as Ronald passed by Aaron's side.........
Sudden changes!!
I saw that Aaron's right hand placed on the right side of his body suddenly shook, and instantly grasped the cross sword tied to his waist, and suddenly pulled it out with force, exploding a dazzling and dazzling light-
Swish!!!
A silver ray of light was like an arrow from the string, and in an instant, it slashed through Ronald's right side of his body, directly bringing up an arm and gushing with a heavenly fountain of blood!
At the same time, a calm voice came out of Aaron's mouth very clearly.
"Can cut off one of His Highness's arms......... This is an honor for your ministers!"
The next moment, countless silver rays bypassed Ronald's position and exploded towards Eric behind him, who had not yet reacted!
