Rudius felt a powerful force grab his collar, pulling his body backward. Alice's slap narrowly missed landing on the air in front of Rudius.
Rudius breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to express his gratitude when Roya glared at him fiercely.
To be honest, he had absolutely no idea how to deal with troubled girls.
Now I can only comply with their request and become their tutor.
After all, Paul didn't ask him to learn swordsmanship from Gilead for free; Gilead agreed to Paul's request, and Paul had to agree to Gilead's request in return.
Sighing, Roya was at a loss. Dealing with a strong young lady by resorting to violence was undoubtedly the wrong choice, at least for now. But if he were to be subservient to her, not to mention anything else, Roya himself felt a little uncomfortable. Moreover, it wouldn't be very effective. Given Alice's personality, she would probably take it for granted.
Alice, her fiery red eyes fixed on Roya, asked, "Are you sure you want to get involved?"
Roya was completely convinced by the other party; after all, the other party was the big spender. Taking a deep breath, Roya slowly said, "Alice, please don't take it to heart by arguing with Rudius."
Alice was still sulking, and if she weren't so short, Roya had reason to believe she would have pounced on him.
Seeing her wide-eyed expression, Luo Ya reached out and patted her head.
He tried to use the kindness of his senior to make the other party submit, but Alice was slightly taken aback and stared blankly at Roya.
At this moment, Roya, with a warm smile (in his own eyes), said, "Alice, stop fooling around, be good, and study hard."
Before Roya could finish speaking, Alice's fist had already struck Roya's stomach.
Roya's smile was a little stiff, but he did not dodge Alice's attack. Alice's fist was surprisingly powerful, which surprised Roya. The girl's strength was already as much as five Rudius.
However, compared to her older brother, who possessed the strength of fifty Rudius, her strength was still too weak.
The magic slightly enveloped the spot where Alice struck, making Alice's punches feel like nothing more than a tickle.
Alice, on the other hand, felt as if her hand had hit a rock. She pulled her hand away abruptly, and looking at her slightly swollen and red hand, her eyes welled up with tears.
Roya sighed deliberately and reached out to stroke Alice's head again. She dodged to the side, but unfortunately, Roya's hand still accurately touched the girl's head.
Feeling Alice's soft hair, her fiery red hair touching the boy's fingers.
Roya spoke again: "Listen to me, Alice, I will make you stronger, really, I'm not lying to you."
Alice slapped the boy's hand away, annoyed and embarrassed, and said, "I don't care about getting stronger or not! Don't bother me!"
A slight smile appeared on Roya's lips, which Alice probably didn't notice, but it was a sign of her helplessness towards the boy.
Indeed, it's true that if it were a servant in the household, they might be afraid of Alice because of her status.
If it were Rudius instead, he might also be very careful around Alice because he couldn't beat her at all. After all, Rudius might be chased all over the house by her if he wasn't careful.
But if it's Roya, does Roya seem like the kind of person who would be threatened by the other party?
And that is indeed the case.
In fact, Philip did indeed have the idea of disciplining Alice.
As long as Roya and his group don't go too far, Philip will basically turn a blind eye.
"Alice, now that I'm your teacher, remember to come find me after your swordsmanship class tomorrow morning. But wait, it's probably not realistic for you to come find me, so I'll come find you instead," Roya said.
Alice snorted coldly, ignored Roya, turned and left, giving Rudius a fierce glare before she went.
Rudius: "???"
No, why are you looking at me?
Roya yawned, turned his gaze to Philip, and shrugged, saying, "As you can see, my mission is now complete."
"Oh? Is that so?" Philip remained noncommittal.
He turned his gaze to Rudius and said slowly, "Perhaps you have indeed completed your task, but Rudius's may not be so. I hope you can both succeed."
Philip waved his hand, and the butler beside him came forward. Philip said, "Butler, assign each of them a room. Hmm, a superior guest room."
The butler bowed slightly to Roya and Rudius and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me."
Roya followed behind the other person indifferently.
The butler led Roya and Rudius through the living room and upstairs. Roya casually looked around, becoming more and more surprised.
It's no wonder they're a powerful clan; their heritage is incredibly profound.
In this era, this palace alone could be described as exquisitely decorated. Climbing the steps to the second floor, a bright red carpet lay on the floor, soft to the touch. The butler pointed to the door at the far end of the corridor and said, "That's your room, Roya."
He then turned his gaze to Rudius, pointed to the second-to-last room, and said, "This is yours."
He then reached into his pocket, found two keys, and handed them to Roya and Rudius.
Roya nodded, glanced at the foolish little brother, and said calmly, "Well then, Rudius, see you tomorrow."
Ludius said "Oh" and headed towards his room.
Although the two rooms are next to each other, they are quite far apart.
Roya inserted the key into the peephole, pushed open the door, and a spacious room appeared before him.
A nearly two-meter-long bed was placed against the wall. The floor was clean and tidy, and there was an oil lamp on the wall. Next to the bed was a cabinet, level with the wooden bed.
Of course, there was also a table near the corner, and the tabletop was clean.
In fact, not only the desktop, but the surrounding area was also very clean and empty.
The room was very large. Roya's previous house was already quite large, but this was at least twice the size of that kind of house.
Roya looked around with some satisfaction. The room was quite pleasant, and he could see the lawn outside through the window. Overall, Roya was quite satisfied.
Go outside, find the butler, and tell him what you need.
The butler nodded and instructed the maid standing nearby to give her bedding, blankets, and the like.
As expected of a noble family, they were very efficient. In no time, a cat-eared beast girl carrying a quilt walked into Roya's bedroom.
Luo Ya was sorting through the contents of the package, taking out each item one by one.
Guys, let's test the waters today!!!
Whether I can get on or not depends on you.
