Without speaking, Roya approached the two without expression. He introduced himself first: "My name is Roya Greirat, Baron of the Fituia territory. Well, I will be the lord there in the future. My current title is Baron. Hello, nice to meet you."
The boy reached out and shook hands with Roya, looking at Roya with a hint of hostility in his eyes. The handsome young man in front of him said, "My name is Luke Nottos Greirat, you can just call me Luke."
The boy's surname caught Roya's attention slightly. Roya asked curiously, "You also have the surname Grerat? It seems we are of the same clan."
In response to Roya's question, Luke simply smiled and said, "Grelat is also a common surname. After all, it's one of the four major families, so it's not surprising that people would have this surname. However, we are related in some way. Maybe you are even one of my nephews or something."
Upon hearing this, Alina frowned.
Luke's words seemed to suggest that he was taking advantage of the situation. Only Luke would dare to so blatantly take advantage of the current Sword God.
Roya simply smiled at Luke's flirtatious remarks, not taking them to heart. He wasn't about to get angry over a junior's minor offense. Instead of dwelling on the matter, Roya continued to ask, "Is Ariel in the garden?"
Luke also sensed that something was wrong.
The three of them often chat together. It's not just Ariel and Alina who understand Luke, but Luke also understands the two of them.
However, the feeling that Alina gave Luke just now was very strange.
Luke frowned, but the carefree man still didn't take it seriously. He answered Roya's question, but this time he was a little more serious. Luke said earnestly, "It should be there. Go look for it and you should be able to find it."
Luo Ya nodded, and without further conversation, headed directly towards the garden.
Alina gave Luke a "good luck" look, then followed Roya and left.
Although Luke was usually arrogant, he wasn't stupid, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
At the same time, I always feel a strange sense of familiarity with the name Roya.
A girl behind Roya glanced curiously at Luke, who was looking up at Roya's figure, deep in thought. Their eyes met.
Of course, there's no heart-pounding or love-at-first-sight buff as rumored.
It was just a simple exchange of glances.
However, with just that one glance, Luke's eyelids twitched.
Luke knew that girl, or rather, in this royal capital, who wouldn't know that girl?
Izelte, Reda's personal disciple and granddaughter, has shown unparalleled talent in the Water God School at a young age.
However, the other party was following behind Roya. A girl with such talent was following behind Roya.
No matter how you look at it, Luo Ya is probably some very important person with a powerful background.
The thought that he had dared to take advantage of the other party made Luke break out in a cold sweat.
I was really drenched in sweat this time.
Roya had no idea what Luke was thinking. Ignoring this little incident, Roya once again embarked on his journey to find Ariel.
Chapter 355 Negotiation and Threats
Without wasting words, Luo Ya immediately used his own 'little tricks'.
The domain expanded, and invisible magic spread, quickly locking onto a somewhat weak but strange entity in the garden.
Luo Ya said to the people behind him, "You guys wait for me here."
After saying that, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Roya appeared in a secluded corner.
This is a small courtyard in Central European style. A blonde, blue-eyed girl is sitting in the courtyard with a look of enjoyment on her face. Although it is the winter solstice and it is snowing lightly, surprisingly, the surrounding flowers are still blooming.
The young woman was elegant and dressed in a gorgeous outfit. She was taking a nap with her eyes closed, looking quite relaxed.
She seemed completely absorbed in this world, engrossed in her own little world, and was unaware of Roya's arrival at all.
Looking at the somewhat leisurely girl, Roya said, "It seems that Lady Ariel is indeed as lazy as the rumors say."
Ariel opened her eyes, her blue eyes looking at Roya. A hint of surprise appeared on the girl's face, but she quickly concealed it.
Ariel sat in the chair, leaning back. She glanced at Roya, her gaze lingering on his face.
After a moment, Ariel's lips parted slightly, revealing a beautiful curve, and the young woman said elegantly, "Would this handsome gentleman like to enjoy the snow scenery with me?"
Roya didn't say anything, but went straight to sit down opposite Ariel. Ariel's appearance was naturally excellent, but the girl next to Roya wasn't very good-looking.
Seeing that Roya didn't speak, Ariel continued, "Sir, you must have come to see me for something, right? Why don't you just say it and let me hear it?"
Roya pointed to the black tea in Ariel's cup. The cup was still more than half full, and the girl hadn't tasted much of it; the tea had already gone cold.
"Tea doesn't taste good when it gets cold, you know. Many things need to be enjoyed while they're hot, don't you think?"
Luo Ya wanted to be a riddle teller and said something rather cryptic.
Ariel fell into deep thought, but the contemplation did not last long. The girl, who called herself "the most beautiful princess of all time," tilted her head and looked directly at Roya, seemingly somewhat confused.
Ariel said very directly, "Um, sir, if you have anything to say or any opinions you would like to express, please just say it directly, instead of beating around the bush."
In fact, Ariel is very intelligent, but she doesn't want to waste time thinking about trivial matters.
Despite the directness of the statement, Luo Ya showed no embarrassment. He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll just say it directly."
Ariel sat up straight, her expression serious, as if she were listening attentively to Roja.
However, Roya's next words made Ariel's expression falter, and the girl actually laughed.
"Ariel, do you want to be queen?"
Luo Ya said seriously.
Ariel's lips curled up into a charming smile.
Luo Ya put on a stern face, but the girl smiled brightly.
The girl was in the mood to laugh in this situation, even though he had been asking her a very serious question.
Luo Ya couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Ariel smoothed her blonde hair behind her ear. Ariel's hair was beautiful, and her smooth blonde hair and impeccable beauty made her seem unattainable. The girl was like a rose, with thorns hidden beneath her charming appearance.
Roya frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Ariel was laughing. He asked curiously, "Was my question that funny?"
Ariel looked directly at Roya with her beautiful eyes, a hint of helplessness on her lips. She said directly, "If you knew me, you wouldn't say something like that."
Roya looked at Ariel, and Ariel looked back at him.
Roya sighed and said, "Indeed, I don't know you very well, I admit that."
Ariel still wore that faint smile on her lips, her posture remained dignified, her expression gentle, and her delicate face was flawless. She was the kind of woman who was stunning at first glance and became more and more captivating the more you looked at her.
However, this girl is actually a teenager with a terrible personality.
"It seems you don't know what I want. The throne and all that, I'm not really particularly interested in pursuing. Besides, my two older brothers are much more talented than you think."
Ariel's gaze was calm, and it was clear that the girl genuinely thought so, without the slightest hint of pretense.
She wasn't as competitive as Roja had imagined, and she had no ambition for the so-called throne.
Luo Ya frowned, finding himself somewhat unable to understand the girl in front of him.
"You seem quite surprised that I don't intend to vie for the throne?" Ariel pursed her lips slightly. The two were not far apart, and from this distance, Roja could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl.
Luo Ya looked at the girl, and his furrowed brows quickly relaxed.
Although Ariel had no intention of becoming queen, which was somewhat unexpected for Roja, the situation was still under control. As long as Ariel was persuaded, the problem would not be too serious.
Having grasped the key point, Roya began to directly advise, "Ariel, becoming the master of this country is your destiny that you must fulfill."
Before Roya could finish speaking, the girl burst out laughing. Ariel's eyebrows relaxed, as if she had heard a very funny joke.
Roya looked at Ariel, and Ariel looked back at the young man.
Roya's expression gradually turned cold, his pale golden eyes fixed on Ariel.
“Laughing again and again is very impolite, you know? At the very least, I don’t like to show that kind of smile when someone is seriously asking me something,” Roya said expressionlessly.
At the same time, Ariel released a bit of her Sword God aura, and her smile instantly froze. Ariel felt as if a sharp sword was held to her neck, and an immense sense of fear gripped her heart.
Roya stared blankly at Ariel. The girl and boy were still sitting opposite each other, but at some point, a long black sword had appeared in front of Roya.
Luo Ya wouldn't take action just because the other party laughed a few times; that would be too petty.
This is simply to put some pressure on the other party and make them see the situation clearly.
To be honest, at this moment, Roya was tempted to kidnap Ariel and force her to submit.
This doesn't mean that Ariel disagreed, and that Roya easily let her go.
Applying pressure is necessary.
However, the effect was obvious.
Chapter 356 The Girl Who Didn't Want to Be King (4k)
As ordinary people, delicate flowers in a greenhouse, how could they encounter such a situation? Although Ariel is quite wild, she would never face such a direct threat as Roja.
Ariel's face turned pale at this moment, and for some reason, her calves were trembling. At the same time, a sense of fear welled up from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid of the man in front of her, not only physically, but also emotionally. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Ariel gritted her teeth, stubbornly raised her eyes, and met Roya's sharp gaze.
"What, you want to resort to violence if you can't convince me?"
