Chapter 56: Listening
After introducing himself, Eric did not forget the question behind Steve, and answered dutifully: "His Highness Ronald only has such a small number of people on his side, it is entirely because the damned Kalas Empire coalition army, I don't know where to know the location of His Highness Ronald, sent a large number of combined troops to surround us-"
"Fortunately, Lord Kevin led the army to hold off the combined forces, and then sent small units to pretend to break out to cover our presence - we mixed into one of the small forces, relying on the more stealthy cover of the entire army, and managed to break out.

"It is precisely in order to avoid people's eyes and ears that our entire team has only one carriage, and there are only seven people in total, including His Highness Ronald - in addition to me and His Highness Ronald, there are also five loyal soldiers guarding His Highness. ”
Speaking of this, Eric seemed to remember something, and commanded Viscount Steve: "By the way, I see that you have seven carriages, and then you can quickly vacate three carriages for us to use - one for His Highness Ronald to live alone, one for me to live in, and the other for loyal soldiers to live in." ”
"Get this done as soon as possible, and when you're done with His Highness Ronald, we'll set off so that we don't get caught by the other enemy forces around you—do you hear that, Steve?"
Steve lowered his head, glanced at Aaron next to him with his eyes, and found that there was a calm and indifferent expression on his face, and his heart suddenly felt cold, and he hurriedly responded: "I know, I must arrange everything for Lord Ronald as soon as possible!"
Eric nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked into the carriage, but didn't notice the cryptic communication between Viscount Steve and Aaron behind him-
I saw that Aaron quietly stretched out his palm, then cocked his thumb and little finger, and the other three fingers were brought inward, and he made a 'six' gesture to Viscount Steve, and then stretched out his fingers as a 'five' gesture, and then quietly pointed to several other soldiers behind him.
Viscount Steve's face was pale, nodded secretly, and also stretched out two fingers, making a gesture representing 'two', seeing this scene, Aaron's mouth drew a smile, and slightly bowed his head in response to Viscount Steve's hint.
Then, as if nothing had happened, the two waited together for the 'audience' of His Highness Ronald with their heads bowed.
Behind the two of them, there were Angeli, Reesie, Jerry Butler and others standing in rows, and a large group of people silently endured the 'audience' of His Royal Highness Ronald as if they were worshipping the emperor's courtiers.
Finally, Prince Ronald, led by Eric and five other ordinary soldiers, walked out with a few frivolous steps, but also a little impatient on his face, as if it was a very shameful thing for him to meet these common people.
However, it was obvious that Prince Ronald still needed the help of Viscount Steve and others, so he put away this impatience for the time being, and a smile barely bloomed on his fairly handsome face, and asked Viscount Steve almost as if he were talking:
"Are you the Viscount Steve Leo? and I have your name and history in the list of nobles—"
"It is said that you originally lived in the port of Ecovacs in the Finnish Empire, and then came to the Kingdom of Chino as a nomad, formed a mercenary group and made a living from it, until you participated in the Battle of Dawn against the invasion, and established a lot of merits, and you were awarded a title and territory by our Kingdom of Chino, and became a glorious viscount. ”
"And now that you've given up your noble realm and are planning to return to the port of Ecovacs in the Finnish Empire, our target is also the port of Ecovacs, which can give you a precious opportunity to be loyal to the royal family of Chino, who is an ally of a certain noble on the other side of the port, and if you escort us all the way there safely, I will definitely not treat a loyal courtier badly. ”
"Even if you give up your territory without permission, I can promise that you will not be guilty of it! Moreover, if you show enough loyalty and diligence in the future, I don't mind giving you a chance to be my right-hand man!"
When Prince Ronald said this, his face couldn't help but show a clear 'tolerance' and arrogance.
Because in his opinion, the behavior of the Viscount Steve in front of him giving up his territory without authorization is equivalent to violating the norms of the nobility, and he will generally be punished by the noble council. And he was exempted from this responsibility, and gave him a precious opportunity to become the right-hand man of Prince Ronald, the eldest son of the kingdom, which can be said to be 'the emperor's grace'!
Eric also shouted on the sidelines: "Steve, don't you hurry up and thank you! You're really lucky - as long as you become Prince Ronald's right-hand man, no matter what your status was in the Finnish Empire before, you will be a real power in the port of Ecovacs in the future!"
"Any power must be based on the face of Prince Ronald and that great nobleman, and give you a little bit of thin face!
"Don't hurry up and swear thanks to Your Highness!"
Steve was unceremoniously reprimanded by Prince Ronald and Eric, so that his face was a little unbearable, and even the loyal soldiers and servants behind the viscount couldn't help but clench their hands secretly when they saw this scene..........
At this time, Aaron unexpectedly interjected: "Lord Eric, are the loyal soldiers around His Highness Ronald also 'knights'? If the five of them also need a separate compartment, then our carriage will be quite tight........"
"Hmph~!Who let you speak without permission? I don't even have the qualifications for you to interject here!"
When Eric saw that a handsome young man dared to intervene on such an occasion, he immediately reprimanded him directly, leaving no emotion in his words, and the whole person looked quite domineering.
However, Eric immediately found that Aaron's position was quite high, and he and Viscount Steve were standing at the front of everyone, and couldn't help but doubt his identity and strength.
So, Eric yelled at Aaron, "Hey, why are you standing with Steve? I remember that Steve only had one daughter, but he didn't have any sons—so who are you?"
Seeing this, Steve hurriedly explained: "His name is Aaron, and he is also a ......"
"I am a quasi-knight under Viscount Steve, and I am mainly responsible for the duties of the butler, and I am known as 'Aaron Steward'. ”
Aaron interrupted Steve's words directly, and said to Eric with a 'respectful' face: "Since I am in charge of the housekeeper's affairs, I specially ask Lord Erik, whether the other five loyal and heroic soldiers are also powerful and worthy of 'knights' like your lordship?"
After saying that, Aaron lowered his head humbly and respectfully, but where Eric couldn't see, there was an imperceptible glint in his pale red eyes!
