Weapon Business
Hey guys, Aidka’s here!
As of today, I have posted a total of seventy chapters in the last three weeks between Fourth Prince and Science/Magic, and with this, I finally posted all the chapters I owed.
It was a bit tiring, to be honest, and I felt the quality of the chapters fell a bit in the last few days. In fact, I repeatedly made mistakes recently like confusing names and things like that. But all in all, it was a… Interesting experience.
Anyways, with the chapters I owed gone, I’ll take one day of rest tomorrow to watch some series on Netflix or perhaps play CoD with my friends, I don’t know.
Both Fourth Prince and Science/Magic will return on Tuesday.
With love, Aidka :p
…
Aunt Sera, Aunt Dayana, Susan, and I chatted for a while more. Then, aunt Dayana, aunt Sera, and I entered at aunt Dayana’s office and Susan was for tea for the three of us.
I was a bit disappointed by this. This was the perfect opportunity to have office sex with my aunt, but with Aunt Sera here, it would be impossible.
… Mm, I should hurry up making Aunt Sera mine. That way, we could have an office threesome.
Yeah, that is a good idea.
Perhaps even an office foursome if I include Susan.
It would be like a dream made a reality.
Seeing my disappointed expression, Aunt Dayana rolled her eyes and glared at me fiercely, as though telling me to control my perverted thoughts.
I shrugged with a smile and took advantage of when Aunt Sera went outside to search for some documents to kiss her lips quickly.
“… This kid doesn’t respect his elders.”
Aunt Dayana rolled her eyes coyly and received the kiss eagerly.
“Right, Claus, Susan is also going to live with us in the mansion, right?”
I nodded. I just told her she could move when she wants.
“Why? Did something happen?”
Aunt Dayana shook her head, but her expression was complicated.
“… It’s nothing… I’m just thinking… Claus, once I start to live in the mansion, it will be hard to hide our relationship… Don’t you think we should cut it here?”
I was startled. But one second later, I could not help but chuckle in amusement.
“Could it be that my beloved aunt is ashamed of our relationship?”
Aunt Dayana threw me an angry glare.
“You know what I mean. A relationship between aunt and nephew will not be well-seen for the people of the empire. Plus, your current position is very delicate. It’s better to avoid this kind of scandal.”
I shook my head with a smile. At the same time, I looked at my aunt with a tender gaze.
“W-What?”
“Nothing. It’s just that I like it when you worry about me.”
“Brat, be serious! I’m not joking.”
I laughed softly and kissed my aunt’s lips once more.
“Don’t worry aunt, it’s alright. Almost everybody living in the mansion is trustworthy. They will be careful about what they can say and what they can’t.”
And even the ones who are not trustworthy yet will soon be.
Ysnay’s situation is a bit different, though, but I don’t think she will lower herself to make that kind of joke.
Aunt still was not convinced, but Aunt Sera returned at that moment, so she could only let it like that.
With Aunt Sera here, it was time to start the main topic.
“Aunt Sera said you needed to talk something with me, Aunt Dayana. What is it?”
Aunt Dayana put on a serious expression immediately.
“Claus, do you remember the proposal of the Carmell family?”
I frowned. If I’m not wrong that was about…
“Military gear?”
“Yes.” Aunt Dayana nodded. “They are selling ten thousand units of military gear in total. According to the Carmell family, the emperor reduced the military gear he bought from them this year, so they were searching for other clients to sell it. They planned to give two thousand units to us.”
I nodded. I remember it well.
That day, the young master of the Carmell family, Albert Carmell, came to the Reincarnation Auction Hall accompanied by Susan’s childhood friend to made us a proposal about selling us military gear.
Well, more than selling us military gear, he wanted to use us as intermediaries to send it to certain nobles.
He took advantage of the fact that Aunt Dayana was not in the auction hall at that moment and tried to bribe and, when it did not work, intimidate Susan to accept the deal.
It did not work, of course, and I remember Susan rejected him back then. Thus, I could not help but be a bit curious when Aunt Dayana mentioned it again.
“Why are you mentioning it again, Aunt? We rejected it already.”
“Yes, we did. This deal obviously smells fishy and its level of danger means it’s not something we should accept. However, just this morning, someone asked us to reconsider the proposal.”
“Someone?”
“Yes, and that person told us you were going to agree.”
I fell silent and thought about the words of my aunt.
Soon, a name appeared on my mind.
“… Alice Ferret, right?”
My aunt was startled. “You knew?”
I shook my head. I did not know. However, it’s not hard to connect the dots.
Mainly when I think about what we are planning.
Aunt Dayana frowned.
“… Claus, you are not thinking of accepting, right?”
Sorry aunt, I’ll have to disappoint you this time.
“We will do it,” I said with a sigh.
“But–!”
“Calm down, aunt. I know what I’m doing.”
Aunt Dayana stared at me silently for a few seconds, before finally sighing.
“Claus, you know that I trust you, and if you say we will do it, I’ll support you with all my strength. But, can you at least tell me why are you accepting?”
I did not reply immediately. Instead, I weighed how much I should tell my aunt.
Should I tell her these weapons will be the spark to start a civil war?
Nope. I don’t want to put such a weigh on her shoulders.
Instead, I decided to tell her the end goal of my plan.
“… It’s related to the success of our revenge against the emperor and the empress.”
*Crash!*
*Pa!*
The cup in Aunt Dayana’s hand and the documents in Aunt Sera’s hands fell to the ground at the same time.
“Claus, that…”
“A-Are you serious?”
Aunt Dayana and Aunt Sera looked at me with shaking eyes.
I nodded with a serious face.
“Almost everything is in place already.”
Aunt Dayana and Aunt Sera looked at each other and in shock.
Finally, Aunt Sera sighed and spoke up with a concerned expression.
“… How confident are you of your plan?”
“Almost one hundred percent.”
My two aunts looked at me in surprise.
“One hundred percent!?”
“What are you…”
“Trust me, aunts. I know what I’m doing.” I said confidently.
My aunts were doubtful. But when they saw my confidence, they finally nodded.
“… I see. I guess this day is finally coming, huh.”
“Finally… Finally…”
Aunt Dayana put on a complicated expression and Aunt Sera clenched her fists in hatred.
Now that they knew their revenge was close, their emotions became slightly agitated.
Soon, though, they calmed down.
Aunt Dayana then returned to her business-like expression and looked at me.
“These weapons, how are we going to transport them?”
I smirked softly.
“Don’t the emperor asked me to go to the frontlines in a few days? Perfect. We will transport the weapons in the way.”
