I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 21
Xiaya is much younger than Alicia imagined, but just as she imagined, she is indeed very good-looking.

Xia Ya had a good foundation in the past, perhaps because he inherited the power of destiny, or maybe it was because the protagonist of the fate he inherited was a pretty face, his skin condition was better, his teeth were whiter, and his facial features were more coordinated up.

After losing his heart, his almost desireless mentality made his temperament calm and mysterious.

Char came down from the stairs, took out the copper kettle for boiling water from the cupboard, took some water from the sink, and put it on Calcifer's body.

Then, he looked at Alicia again, looking at him with a little curiosity on his face.

"Have I seen you?"

"No, we've never met."

Alicia lied without changing her face. In a sense, it was not a lie, after all, she did not "see" him, and she is not the same now as before.

She didn't want the person in front of her to know that she was the princess at the ball. It had nothing to do with secrets, heart, etc. Anyway, she didn't want him to know.

"So, can you tell me why you're here?"

Shaar continued to ask, he removed the boiling copper pot on one side from the fire, poured himself a cup of hot water, and put it on the side to wait for it to cool down.

"Last night was just a stay." Alicia said truthfully, "Your Magic Fire respects the old man very much. It took me in because it saw me as pitiful."

"Really." Char glanced at Calcifer.

"But now, I think I have to live here for a while." Alicia said seriously.

Xia Ya looked at her with great interest, "Why?"

"Did you not notice anything? Child."

Alicia's voice was hoarse and old, and she slowed down her speech, trying hard to pretend to be an old and wise elder, even if she didn't pretend to be like that.

Walking to the workbench on one side, he stretched out his wrinkled hands to wipe the tabletop, and then showed his dusty fingers to Shaar.

"Look, your place is too dirty to live in."

Shaar looked around, then nodded, "It seems to be a little bit, so, what do you want to say?"

"You need a cleaning lady here!" Alicia said.

"Are you good at cleaning?" Xia asked, looking at Alicia.

"You can try me out for a month!" Alicia said confidently, "I don't need to be paid!"

"Sounds very good." Shaar said.

"That would be great." Calcifer laughed at the side, "Shaar can't afford your wages."

Alicia asked curiously, "Are wizards still short of money?"

"I just arrived here not long ago." Xia Ya said, "There is no currency in this country yet."

Alicia suddenly remembered what she heard from the maid when she was in the bedroom.

If you say you have just arrived here not long ago, you should not mean that you have just arrived in the world.
What the hell is he? He enslaved a demon. Could it be a demon?
Eating hearts also seems like something a demon would do.

Alicia felt that she was getting very close to the truth.

But this gave her one more bargaining chip.

She continued: "In this case, I can help you. I have a lot of money."

Shaar raised his eyebrows, continued to raise the water glass in his hand, gently blew the hot air on it, took a sip, and said nothing.

"When people are old and have no children, they will always save some pension money, won't they?" Alicia raised her eyebrows.

"You mean, you will not only give me a free job, but also give me money?" Xia Ya teased.

"You have to understand, child." Alicia said old-fashionedly, "At my age, money is the most insignificant thing, but people always want to realize themselves.

For example, I like cleaning very much. To be honest, your house is really the dirtiest house I have ever seen, so I can't leave here at all. "

Shaar nodded, "Very good reason."

"You mean, I can stay?" Alicia said happily.

"I don't like to make choices, but if you want to stay, I won't drive you away." Xia Ya said.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. If this could not stay, she really didn't know what reason to find.

However, the happiness didn't last long, and her stomach started growling. After walking such a long distance yesterday, she ate some bread, and now she was very hungry.

She looked at Shaar, "I think, you shouldn't be stingy with providing a breakfast for my poor old lady, right?"

Xia got up, walked to the cabinet on one side, took out a plate with a plate cover from it, put it on the table, took the cover off, and inside was a piece of cut cake, it was Xia who was The kind you eat at parties.

Yes, he also packed.

Although the shelf life of the cake is short, it's only been one day and the inside of the castle is not very hot, so it's still edible.

"Let's eat." Shaar said.

"Thank you." Alicia staggered to the table and sat down, while Char handed her a fork, which was the only fork he used and had been washed.

Although she was exhausted and hungry, she still ate decently, with a kind of unconcealable extravagance.

Enjoying a perfect meal, Alicia put down her fork and said.

"It's delicious, just like the pastry chef in the palace made it."

Because it was made by the pastry chef in the palace, Char thought to himself.

"Where's the broom here?"

"Is it about to start now?" Xia Ya asked with a smile.

Alicia rolled up her sleeves, revealing her skinny old arms, "I'm full of energy now!"

To be honest, she has been blind for so long, so she doesn't really pay much attention to the living environment, but as a person who has lived in the palace, the dust that can be stirred up by walking around is really unbearable for her.

Thinking of living here for a while in the future, she couldn't wait to clean it up.

She cleaned it when she was a child. Although she was an imperial daughter, she lived outside the palace until she was eight years old.

At that time, her father had some conflicts with the royal family. She couldn't remember the specific reason, but it should be some old-fashioned stories anyway.

The house she lived in at that time was actually not much bigger than this one. During that time, she was the happiest.

She tied a strip of old cloth to her thinning white hair, made a simple mask to cover her face, and then found an old tablecloth from the broom cabinet as an apron.

She plans to clean the first floor today. The room is not big, so it won't take much time.

She fetched a pail of water from the sink, then picked up her broom and got to work.

The castle was really horribly dirty, with the broom sweeping, the whole room was filled with dust, Calcifer was choking and coughing violently, he complained to Char.

"Hey! Char, can't you make her move less?"

"Never interrupt a woman when she's in high spirits," Char says.

Then, he picked out a book from the pile of books on the workbench on one side, ignored Calcifer who was coughing non-stop from the dust on one side, and walked up the stairs
