He exudes a powerful aura, and there's always a sharp glint in his eyes—that's typical of someone who's been in a position of power for years.
Coupled with his wild appearance, most people would subconsciously avoid his gaze.
When faced with such a person, Rudius would instinctively back away; he was inherently afraid of assertive people.
Especially someone like him who is extremely difficult to deal with and has a bad temper.
Roya ignored the brat, his eyes fixed on him. Rudius might be afraid, but Roya wasn't. Sauros Boreas Greirat, Alice's grandfather, lord of Fituia, was a free-spirited and unconventional man. Alice was influenced by him and wanted to become a second Sauros. Her domineering and unreasonable personality was a direct result of his indulgence.
Roya didn't make eye contact with the other person for long, only glancing at him for a few seconds before looking away. He was there to tutor, not to cause trouble. He gave the other person a noble bow and slowly said, "Hello, my name is Roya Greirat, and I am Paul's son."
Shoros was somewhat surprised and said bluntly, "How could Paul have given birth to such an effeminate child?"
Upon hearing this, Roya's lips twitched, and he stared at the other person with an unfriendly gaze. Knowing Roya's personality well, Rudius quickly grabbed Roya. Rudius knew that Roya cared most about his appearance. In the past, if he dared to laugh at Roya's appearance, he would be beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed the next day.
Rudius quickly said, "Hello, my name is Rudius Grerat, you can call me Rudius."
Sauros nodded, pointed at Ludius and said, "That's what our boys should look like. As for you, Roja, well..."
Rudius felt Roya's arm tightening its grip and thought to himself, "This is bad." Knowing his older brother's temper, he was definitely not the kind of person who could silently swallow such obviously sarcastic remarks.
Roya took a few steps forward and said calmly, "What did you say?"
"Hmm?" Shaoluos sized up Roya. Their eyes met, and Shaoluos's cold, crimson-gold pupils narrowed slightly. Shaoluos could sense the boy's intense dissatisfaction. He leaned down to look at the disgruntled boy. Roya was definitely not short; he was considered tall for his age. However, at just over 1.65 meters, Roya was still somewhat shorter than him. He said, "Are you questioning me? Besides, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Roya let out a breath, took off his coat, and tossed it to Rudius.
As his magic began to be activated, his muscles suddenly bulged. Roya had a great physique to begin with, but it was usually hidden by loose clothing, so his muscular build was not obvious.
This time, with a slight exertion, his muscular physique was revealed.
Magic flowed through his blood, and Roya's bones crackled and popped.
In an instant, Luo Ya transformed from a slender, handsome young man into a burly man nearly 1.8 meters tall.
He exuded an aura of power. (For a more detailed comparison, think of Nezha from "100,000 Cold Jokes"—it's something like that.)
Luo Ya exerted a slight force with his right arm, his biceps bulging, his entire body brimming with explosive power.
Showing off his muscular physique, Roya's expression was extremely arrogant.
Kyrie Irwin stood to the side, her expression somewhat grave; she sensed a hint of threat emanating from the boy.
Luo Ya grinned and sneered, "Old man, don't underestimate me, or I might just smash you to pieces with one punch."
After saying that, he made a provocative expression.
Unfortunately, Roya's expression wasn't very intimidating.
Although the boy has grown up, he is still in the process of transformation, currently existing in two states: a mature woman and a boy. In short, he has a neutral appearance.
It doesn't matter if the expression isn't lethal; as long as the body is lethal, that's enough.
Shoros was also slightly taken aback and ignored the sarcasm in Roya's words. He patted Roya's firm muscles, which made Roya feel a little disgusted. What was an old man doing touching him like that? He slapped Shoros's hand away.
Shaoluos felt a powerful force strike him, instantly numbing his hand.
Shoros's lips twitched, but being a shrewd man, he showed no embarrassment. He remarked with considerable emotion, "Appearances can be deceiving. Very good. You know how to refute me, point out my mistakes, and fight for your dignity. I approve of you. This is the kind of man we should have in our family. Although you do look a bit effeminate, it doesn't matter. These are insignificant matters. Go on, Philip has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
After saying that, he laughed loudly and left.
But where Luo Ya couldn't see, he suddenly gasped, looking at his hand that had been swollen from being slapped, and was somewhat speechless.
Luo Ya frowned. What was he doing? Provoking the other party and actually gaining their favor? Was this considered a successful provocation?
He was a little confused. At this moment, Rudius quietly tugged at Roya and gave him a thumbs up. Roya glanced at Rudius and sneered, "You're such a coward. When will you change your ways?"
Ludius said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not like you, brother. Besides, I feel like we almost lost our jobs just now."
Roya didn't say much. Although Shaoluos's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations, having read the original work, he believed that Shaoluos wouldn't blame them for it.
Luo Ya withdrew his immense magical power, and his height began to shrink, returning him to the slender, beautiful, and weak boy who was 1.6 meters tall.
Ludius's lips twitched when he saw what had just happened; the contrast was too absurd, so he made no comment.
Upon entering the living room, a thin, casual-looking man with smooth brown hair was sitting in the center of the room.
He was dressed in a fine aristocratic suit, and his first impression was that he was very polite.
Upon seeing the three arrive, he stood up and gave them a warm smile.
Roya stepped forward, performed a standard aristocratic bow, and said indifferently, "Hello, you can just call me Roya. I'm a boy."
To avoid misunderstanding, he emphasized the word "boy" slightly at the end.
Following Roya's example, Rudius bowed to Philip and said, "Nice to meet you. You may call me Rudius."
The man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am Philip Boreas Greirat. To be honest, I didn't expect Paul to have such a 'handsome' boy. But you seem to have made your father very happy?"
Philip spoke in a slightly teasing tone, but Roya's crimson-gold pupils narrowed slightly, looking quite displeased.
Rudius secretly wiped a cold sweat from his brow. He wondered if this guy would get a beating from Roya.
In fact, Rudius was right.
Roya did indeed have that thought.
