They don't want me to work harder

Luvia gave a slight salute and took the initiative to identify herself.

"It's you!"

As the princess of Vandan, Alice saw the Sword of the Empire in social situations, so she responded enthusiastically and asked, "Why do you want to go to Idaril?"

"I want to take a vacation and go back to Saint Goethe to see..."

Ghosts believe you!

Different from her outward politeness, at this moment, Alice's heart was in turmoil.

In the last simulation, the unfolding of Richard's almost death in Nyon frightened her, so as soon as the simulation ended, she immediately made plans to return to the empire, and tried to find a way to secretly inform the empire that something would happen in Nyon.

Who would have thought that three days later, she would see the news in the newspaper that Richard and Luvia worked together to save the city of Nyon.

So she also asked the same question as Richard:

Why is this expansion different from the simulation!

And when she came to block people and saw the famous Imperial Sword following her, her previous doubts were instantly overshadowed by a strong sense of vigilance!

She instantly remembered, had this woman had any bad intentions towards Richard in the simulation?

No, even if we don’t consider the simulation, just the fact that he followed up after the Nyon incident cannot be ignored!

That's right...

This guy is here to steal men!

Really, are you still shameless in your 20s?

Thinking of this, the smile on Alice's face became gentler and friendly.

On the other side, Luvia was not as calm as she appeared.

She had a deeper impression of Alice than Alice had of her!

She pursued Richard countless times and failed every time, but this Princess Vandan was able to make Richard fall into a trap, twice!

This is an absolute rival!

However, I will not admit defeat either...

I have also taken a solid first step!

Luvia silently moved closer to Richard.

When Alice saw this, she was not to be outdone and tilted her body slightly.

The two women looked at each other.

Immediately, an invisible aura spread throughout the airship cabin, causing many passengers to subconsciously feel chills running down their spines.

Zoe and Katyusha in the room also felt like they had a light on their backs.

Zoe wanted to say something, but whether it came from a warrior's intuition of danger or the strong contrast in body shape, they all told her a cruel fact. This was a battlefield she did not have the confidence to step into yet!

Damn it!

Is it because I am too young and too weak?I, I will definitely become stronger, old woman, just wait...

Of course, let’s talk about the most uncomfortable thing…

It has to be Richard between the two.

The humble prince is trembling...

But he didn't dare to shake too much, otherwise his shoulders would hit the different but equally soft organic shock-absorbing devices on both sides, causing even greater chaos.

He sighed to himself: Alas, I am such a sinful man...

Needless to say, Luvia had the big iron chain still tied to her body. Richard was afraid that someone would get excited, and felt that what he learned on paper was only shallow. He wanted to practice the knowledge in those two books in person.

With such a big piece of gold placed here, no one can stop it!

But on the other hand, Richard also felt a little timid towards Alice.

This timidity mainly comes from guilt.

After all, in the simulation, he didn't treat the latter as a real person at all. Although the results were all for the good of others, it was hard to explain the many tricks in the process...

Hard to do!

Fortunately, Veronica didn't get close to her again, otherwise with her pirate captain personality, she might have started a fight now.

Richard didn't know, just when he thought so.

On an island thousands of miles away, a certain female captain sneezed.

Opposite her, the person in charge of the slave market saw the knife on his neck trembling with the sneeze. He became even more frightened and asked quickly: "Well, Captain Veronica, do you have a cold? I have medicine here..."

"Stop talking nonsense, either you find that slave, or you move his head."

"He, he really didn't! We have that giant here and a few sailors who are in debt..."

"Ok?"

Just when Veronica raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to show off her knife skills, another subordinate ran in and handed over an expired newspaper from the other side of the ocean. The headline on the front page was the crisis in Nyon...

Return to the airship on the old road.

After looking at each other from afar, Alice was slightly at a disadvantage.

It’s not that she’s not charming enough or has a weak will, it’s mainly because the emotions of a gold-level professional can really change the surrounding environment to a certain extent. When it’s cold, it’s cold, when it’s hot, it’s hot, when there’s static electricity, it’s crackling. It’s impossible to lose to Bai Yin in the momentum competition. .

To a certain extent, this is the charm of intensity.

Her Royal Highness curled her lips, changed her strategy, and spoke proactively with a smile:

"I almost forgot, I have to thank you for helping my junior in Nyon... Ah, if you don't mind, can I also call you Senior Luvia?"

"Your Highness is free."

"Hehe, that's what I'll call you~ But having said that, senior sister has graduated four or five years ago. I didn't expect that she still looks the same as she did when she was 20 years old. She takes good care of herself~"

"..."

At first, Luvia's nerves, which had been with the sword for too long, didn't react. Only when she caught a glimpse of the young Richard from the corner of her eye did she suddenly realize.

What does "my junior" mean? Is it a declaration of sovereignty?

And the second half of the sentence, four or five years and 20 years ago, etc., are you saying that you are old?

What a despicable Vandan!

Although being in your 20s is indeed considered old in the empire's tradition of getting engaged as a teenager, but how could you...

On Richard's side, he immediately understood that there was something in Alice's words, but he didn't think it was anything. In his mind, 24 or [-] was still young, and in his previous life, there were a lot of people in their thirties who were not married.

But this did not prevent him from observing that Luvia's face was cold and a little red, and she seemed a little uncomfortable...

Yes, the Imperial Sword is not good at bickering!

"Ah, I'm sorry, senior, I didn't mean that."

Who would have thought that after finishing the attack, Alice would actually cover her mouth and exclaim, and took the initiative to change her words: "Senior, you don't have to worry, as long as a girl is charming enough, gentle and considerate, she will definitely meet a good match..."

Gentle and considerate?

In the novels I have read, it is true that the male protagonists like gentle and considerate female protagonists. Should I really learn from this?

Just as Luvia was lost in thought, she heard the second half of Alice's words.

"...Ah, by the way, Richard, I made a cake for you with my own hands on the way here. Why don't you try it now? The cream is also made from the milk of the pearl whale, which is very good for summoners~"

Alice said, and went to the maid next door in person, placing the tableware and the tightly wrapped cake boxes on the table, emphasizing her gentleness and consideration.

Ever since, Luvia instantly felt like she had lost again!

Alice narrowed her eyes and smiled, even wanting to feed her herself:

"Come on, Richard, ah..."

"Ahem! Wait! I need to go to the bathroom first."

The atmosphere is so uncomfortable that I can’t stand it anymore!

And what if I really eat your cake, and Luvia will completely live in Bengbu for a while?

No, we have to cool down!

Ignoring Alice's efforts to stay, Richard stood up between the two beauties, ran out of the cabin, went to the bathroom, and locked the door with his backhand.

Here, he relaxed a little.

The bathroom of the Magic Airship is very large and magnificently decorated. Magic orchids that remove odor and increase fragrance are inserted on the wall. The edge of the toilet is inlaid with gold. There is even a large bathroom next door...

But Richard didn't need these. He just washed his face, looked up at himself in the mirror, and thought about how to solve the Shura field.

Then he noticed that a shadow passed through the locked door, solidified behind him, and turned into the appearance of Alice.

Is this a mirror image or through a wall?

Tsk, the mage has a lot of tricks.

Richard was helpless: "Senior, this is the toilet. If someone discovers it..."

"So, wouldn't it be good if you don't get discovered? Just keep quiet, junior~"

Alice walked up to him with a smile, held Richard's shoulders, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you trouble, but I really want to be alone with you for a while."

"Uh, why..."

"Of course I have something to tell you privately."

Alice's delicate white hands passed through Richard's armpits and gently hugged the latter's chest.

Standing on tiptoes, his moist red lips reached Richard's ear and breathed softly:

"I miss you so much and it's so nice to see you're okay."

Feeling the warmth and numbness in his ears, Richard couldn't help but said, "...Thank you very much."

This girl has learned a new trick again...

"What about you, junior, have you missed me?"

Richard nodded slowly.
