Alice stepped forward and stood next to Roya. His handsome face lacked its usual liveliness, and Alice felt a little reserved.
Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since they had met, or perhaps it was because it was the first time entering Roya's room, that made them feel reserved.
Luo Ya closed the book, not putting on any teacher's airs. He exuded a natural aura, his gentle temperament enveloping Alice, causing her to be slightly taken aback.
For some reason, the Roya in front of me seemed to have changed slightly compared to the morning; Roya seemed to have become even more handsome.
Shaking her head, Alice banished the strange thoughts from her mind and mustered her courage to ask Roya, "Um, Brother Roya, can I sleep here tonight?"
Luo Ya glanced at his bed. The bed was very large. After all, he was a nobleman, so it was normal for his bed to be large. It could easily fit five or six people, let alone two.
Roya wasn't too surprised by Alice's request; judging from her outfit, he could guess what was going on.
However, Roya frowned slightly. Was Philip in such a hurry?
Alice stared at Roya with her fiery red eyes, those beautiful, jewel-like eyes, full of anticipation.
Roya felt a slight headache coming on. Alice might not know what it meant, but how could Roya not know?
Roya wanted to refuse Alice, but the words caught in his throat as he looked into her expectant eyes.
Luo Ya thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Fine, whatever you say."
Alice's face lit up with joy, and she pounced on Roya.
Luo Ya smiled and caught the girl, feeling her weight as he chuckled and teased, "Unbeknownst to us, our Alice has grown quite a bit and become a young lady."
In a way, he could be considered Alice's half-teacher; if you really want to categorize him, he was someone who watched the girl grow up.
Although the time spent looking after them was not long, some affection still developed.
Alice didn't care at all and sat directly on Roya's lap, watching Roya doodle on the paper with a pen.
Alice didn't understand any of this; she only felt that Roya smelled wonderful, a light and elegant scent, like nature itself. The peaceful and serene atmosphere calmed Alice's mind.
Alice leaned naturally on Roya's arm. Although Alice had grown up and her weight had increased slightly compared to before, Roya could handle even a hundred of her weights.
Luo Ya didn't pay any attention and continued sketching and writing something.
Alice in his arms was unusually well-behaved, so well-behaved that Roya thought the girl had fallen asleep.
Only when he looked into his arms did he realize that Alice was staring intently at Roya with her bright eyes.
Noticing Roya's gaze, Alice blushed and casually looked away. Roya found Alice's behavior somewhat amusing.
Ignoring Alice Roya, he continued to ponder.
A delicate, refreshing fragrance emanated from Alice, a subtle scent that made Roya feel quite relaxed and happy.
Luo Ya looked at the girl in his arms.
"You smell so good."
The two of them had the same thought almost simultaneously. Roya coughed lightly, his thoughts drifting away with the faint fragrance. He felt that magic could be studied anytime, and there was no need to delay Alice's hard-won courage to come find him because of magic.
But in reality, Roya still sees Alice as a little girl.
Sleeping is just sleeping, but it feels more like a brother treating his sister.
Roya stopped studying magic and instead pulled Alice aside to tell her stories.
After thinking for a moment, Roya got up, picked up Alice, and carried her to the bed in a princess carry.
Setting Alice aside, Roya lay on the bed, leaning against the headboard. After a moment of thought, he began to tell the story.
The stories that girls like to hear are mostly things like Snow White.
It always begins a long, long time ago, in a different country and a different place, and then begins to narrate the beauty of its fairy tale.
Luo Ya's narration wasn't particularly impressive; the story was copied from his past life's memories, patched up and rewritten, barely managing to recount the general plot.
But to Roya's surprise, Alice listened very attentively, even a little too attentively.
It was only then that Luo Ya realized that this world was very different from the world he had lived in before.
In the previous world, the world was in an era bombarded by the Internet. The one thing that was never lacking was information. As long as you wanted, you could learn about all kinds of information from all over the world through a mobile phone.
People surrounded by big data have naturally become accustomed to the information contained within it.
But in this world, it's completely different. Many simple, cheesy pick-up lines become the most sincere declarations of love, enough to move girls to tears and make them vow to stay by their side for life.
The world lacks education for children. Not only that, but there are almost no storybooks specifically for children in the world, and even if there are, there are probably only one or two.
Alice kept such a book in her room, which was about the story of a hero and a demon king.
It's three parts truth and seven parts fiction. It's copied from history books, then modified to exaggerate the hero's power and vilify the demons as ruthless killers. The hero stands on the side of justice and drives the demons back to where they belong.
The truth remains unknown, but the story has its limits. It's just the same old formula over and over again. It might be novel at first, but after seeing it so many times, it will naturally become boring.
It's only natural that Alice would be interested in a novel story like Roya's.
Alice pestered Roya, asking him to tell her more.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya did not refuse and pulled out all of his Grimm's Fairy Tales.
When I was little, I was very interested in these fairy tales, and even after many years, I haven't forgotten them.
The moonlight was bright and clear, and its rays streamed into the room along the window sill, the pure white moonlight reflecting off the dim yellow lamplight inside.
Alice stared intently at Roya's profile, her slender feet swaying slightly with her smooth calves. Alice lay on the bed, the soft mattress making her feel warm, and the scent of the bedding made her heart race inexplicably.
Roya's voice echoed in the small room; his gentle voice made Alice feel comfortable.
Perhaps she was too comfortable, or perhaps she was too tired from her usual sword training, but Alice closed her eyes after hearing the third story told by Roya.
With her eyelashes trembling slightly, Alice nestled in Roya's arms and fell asleep.
Luo Ya glanced at Alice, who was already asleep, and covered her with the blanket. It was already autumn, and although it didn't feel like much during the day, if she wasn't covered up properly at night, she might catch a cold.
Looking at the dim candlelight, Luo Ya waved his hand and extinguished the candle, leaving only the pure white, hazy moonlight.
Nothing happened that night. When Alice woke up early the next morning, she found that Roya was gone from her bed.
yawning, Alice slowly got out of bed.
After a long time, Alice had a good night's sleep and dreamed of her knight.
Unlike Roya's version, where the knight saves the princess, the roles are reversed. The knight is in dire straits, and the princess draws her sword to rescue him and take him home.
The bedding still carried Roya's scent, and Alice couldn't help but snuggle closer to confirm that it was the kind of scent that made her feel very safe.
I've made up my mind, I'm going to stay here from now on.
Alice put on her shoes and got out of bed. Her clothes weren't there, so she had to go back to her room to change into her own.
I opened the door and walked outside.
But when I opened the door, I saw another blond guy.
Just then, the blond-haired man came out of the room. When he saw Alice, he was slightly taken aback, and then a strange expression appeared on his face.
However, Rudius said nothing, only gave a slight bow and greeted Alice: "Good morning, young lady."
Alice raised an eyebrow, feeling annoyed by Rudius's gaze. She snorted and turned to leave, but after taking three steps, she suddenly turned back to Rudius and asked, "Do you know where Roya went?"
"Roya?"
Rudius clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling quite moved.
Has it finally come to this?
Rudius sighed with emotion. Long ago, Rudius had sensed that Alice harbored a subtle, almost imperceptible, admiration for Roya.
This kind of worship is specifically manifested in the other person's omnipotence, being able to easily solve most things that one cannot do.
Aside from love at first sight, many factors can trigger feelings.
And admiration is often one of the key factors that triggers love.
Not to mention Roya and Alice, when Rudyus is trying to pick up girls, he will also try his best to show off his charm as a boy.
Despite his thoughts, Rudius replied, "Roya might be with Girenaus. Why don't you go and look for Girenaus?"
Alice nodded and continued forward.
Rudius breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take his things to wash up, but then Alice suddenly turned back and asked, "Um, do you know where Kyrie Irvine is?"
Ludius:
In the training ground, Roya is sparring with Gilead.
Compared to their previous duel, the current duel between the two is not as intense.
Roja drew his sword, Gilead parried; Gilead drew his sword, Roja parried.
The two exchanged blows, each wielding a sword, while Roya inquired about information from Kyrie Ian regarding the current Sword God.
"Master is very strong. If you fight him, you must not get close to his attack range."
Without pausing, Kyrie Irving slammed his wooden sword down towards Roya's location. The sword was incredibly fast, reaching Roya's face in the blink of an eye.
Roya parried with his sword, easily deflecting the attack. With the attack blocked, Roya was about to launch a counterattack.
With a forceful thrust of his right hand, the wooden sword wobbled slightly, the force sending Kyrie Irving flying, followed by a stabbing attack.
It was just a simple stab; the rapier failed to harm Gilead. Gilead's figure blurred into an afterimage, and the next moment he appeared to Roya's right.
"Why?" Roya continued to work, dealing with Gilead's slashes, yet still had the energy to ask Gilead the reason.
