Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Therefore, Roya doesn't mind using some lies, but of course, Roya won't let them know that these are lies.

When Alice asked him a question, Roya was generous and gave the girl the answer she wanted most.

He didn't lie to her, and he had no other purpose in approaching the girl; it was all just a natural progression.

And indeed, that was the outcome for Roya.

Seeing the girl in this state would inevitably cause some concern in others, who would want to say a few words in her defense. However, Luo Ya had actually anticipated that things would turn out this way.

Without dwelling on the matter, Roya said to Darkness, "Come if you want, but there will definitely be no salary. I don't think you need that little bit of salary, do you? Of course, I won't force you to sign any contract."

"Is that so?"

Darkness repeated what Alice had just said, a clear look of regret flashing across her face.

Luo Ya ignored the infatuated woman, shrugged, and said to everyone, "Living in hotels like this isn't a solution. Alice is here, so I'm going to buy a villa."

Luo Ya now has more than enough money; he could easily spend fifty or sixty million to buy a mansion without batting an eye.

Moreover, the hotels we stayed in were indeed rather shabby.

Buying a house is simple and not difficult at all. After asking Luna for advice, a mansion with a considerable area was quickly acquired.

Furthermore, due to Luo Ya's status, he is also eligible for a 20% discount.

It is said that the mansion originally belonged to a nobleman, but the nobleman went on vacation and never returned, leaving it empty.

After contacting the other party's butler and explaining the situation briefly, the other party did not hesitate and readily rented out the mansion.

So, the five-person team has now become a six-person team, thanks to Alice's addition.

Upon opening the door, one can smell a musty, stale odor in the air. The recent climate has been quite humid, and judging from the arrangement of the chairs, this place has not been cleaned for quite some time, so it is no surprise that it has become like this.

Roya patted Darkness on the back, and the noble lady jumped. Roya was puzzled. Darkness was wearing armor, not a dress with her back exposed.

As for being so excited?

Darkness, realizing what was happening, complained, "Don't suddenly pat me! I was thinking about something and you startled me."

Roya shrugged, not wasting time on the topic, and directed everyone to get to work.

"Aqua, Megumin, go sweep the living room for me. Darkness, tidy up all the things scattered on the floor. Kazuma Sato, take a rag and wipe the floor. Princess Alice and I will supervise you from the side." That's how Roya arranged it.

Surprisingly, no one had any objections to Roya's arrangements; even Aqua kept quiet.

After all, being able to move from a house of less than 20 square meters to a villa covering nearly three acres, and the only price they paid was cleaning, was a trivial matter, so naturally no one would say anything.

Watching everyone diligently carrying out the cleaning task, Luo Ya cleared out two chairs in the living room, moved one to Alice, and casually sat down on the other.

Alice looked at the chair, seemingly checking if there was anything dirty on it.

There's no dirt in it, of course; after all, Roya isn't so incapable of even cleaning up a chair.

Chapter 324 The Little Ring

Alice sat somewhat awkwardly in the chair. Not far away, she could hear Aqua and Kazuma arguing, as if the two had started arguing about something again.

Luo Ya ignored the noise and left only the two of them in the living room.

Both of them were somewhat bored. Roya didn't really want to talk. Alice's arrival, though unexpected, was also reasonable.

However, now that Alice has joined the team, the plan can no longer be as drawn out as before. We should take the initiative and find the Demon King's subordinates one by one to kill them.

While I was thinking, a small head came closer.

When Luo Ya came to his senses, a small head was already resting on his shoulder, with golden hair like a golden ocean.

At such close range, Roya could even smell the girl's unique scent.

Roya didn't push Alice away; he wasn't the kind of person who was oblivious to romance. Of course, he didn't say anything either.

The silence continued, but Alice seemed to feel much more relaxed now that she saw her bold actions had not been rejected.

The atmosphere didn't become dull; on the contrary, it became slightly ambiguous.

Alice looked down down the corridor where Darkness was. Darkness's complaints and the sound of her boots hitting the floor could be heard from there. Darkness probably wouldn't be here anytime soon.

Huihui slipped into each bedroom and started choosing her own room, so there were only the two of them in the living room right now.

Alice's eyes flickered, and she rubbed the ring on her right index finger with her left hand.

Alice hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of the girls around Roya when she met him, her hesitation turned into decisiveness.

She wasn't the kind of person who lacked courage. Back in the capital, she thought that she was the only one by Roya's side.

But things are different now. Her world revolves around Roya, but Roya's world doesn't revolve around her.

She needs to be bolder, otherwise, Roya might be snatched away by that group sooner or later.

We cannot allow things to continue developing like this.

Without much hesitation, Alice took off the ring. The ring wasn't particularly ornate; compared to gold and silver rings, it was even somewhat plain.

Alice's decision to remove the ring demonstrated her resolve.

Alice's outstretched right hand trembled slightly. For some reason, a blush appeared on her cheeks. A sense of reserve, typical of young girls, welled up from the bottom of her heart. The girl was very shy, but she tried to appear calm.

She kept telling herself, "It's okay, it's okay."

Seemingly having mustered her courage, Alice finally spoke.

"Um, brother, I have a gift I want to give you."

Alice's approach was unusual; she didn't give the ring directly, but instead laid the groundwork first.

As she expected, the young man looked over curiously. His incredibly handsome face was right in front of her, with features so exquisite they were almost unreal. The boy seemed a little surprised, but still smiled and asked, "A gift? What does Alice want to give me?"

"Um, it's this ring. It's a keepsake from my mother, and it's the most important thing to me. The reason I'm giving this to my brother is that I want him to stay by my side forever. I hope he can always be my knight, okay?"

Alice herself probably didn't realize that she, who used to be able to give all kinds of speeches with ease in any situation, was now somewhat uneasy in front of this young man.

Roya's expression remained unchanged, still smiling. He didn't do anything extra and naturally accepted the ring.

It was a ring that looked somewhat old, and it didn't have much magic power. This ring wasn't a powerful magical artifact, but having watched the anime, he knew what it represented.

It is a symbol of Alice's fiancé; whoever obtains this ring is practically saying that he will be Alice's future husband.

But now, the kingdom's first princess, Her Highness Alice, has voluntarily handed over the ring.

She chose Roya.

She didn't want to be rejected, so she even used a little lie to cover up the meaning the ring represented.

Perhaps her mother gave her the ring, and the king tacitly approved of its existence, most likely wanting Alice to be able to choose her own future partner.

Alice was still smiling, but her gaze had already drifted elsewhere. Her right hand was slightly clenched into a fist, and her hand was already damp with sweat. Alice was waiting for Roja's reply.

Luo Ya accepted the ring with a completely natural expression and attitude.

Without saying much, feeling the patterns on it, Luo Ya simply put the ring on his left hand.

Luo Ya asked, "Since it's something so important, isn't it a bit too much of a waste to give it to me?"

Seeing that Roya did not refuse, Alice felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders, and a genuine smile appeared on the girl's face. She truthfully expressed her most genuine thoughts: "The significance that Brother Roya represents is just as important to me as this ring."

Roya's eyes flickered. He neither refused nor accepted, but after hearing Alice's words, he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll keep this ring for now. But carrying it around like this might be a bit troublesome for Alice, wouldn't it?"

Alice was startled. At that moment, the girl felt as if the other person had seen through her. She suddenly realized that the meaning of her ring was not known to her alone.

Few people in the royal palace knew about it, but it wasn't that no one knew.

Both Claire and Darkness knew the meaning of this ring.

Although no one would be so bored as to bring up this ring and tell Luo Ya about it separately, Luo Ya wouldn't be so idle as to ask about such a trivial matter.

But for some reason, Alice felt a little flustered.

She used a clever trick, not telling Roya the meaning of the ring, but indirectly indicating that the ring was very important to her.

However, this little lie seemed to really be a little lie in front of the other party.

Does Roya know?

Does he know what this ring means?

Even knowing this, did he still choose to accept the ring?

Similar thoughts kept lingering in Alice's mind, and one question after another surged into her heart, but a joy followed immediately.

Life after Chapter 325

This was a sudden joy.

Roya knew the meaning of the ring, which wasn't a bad thing for Alice. She liked the boy in front of her and wanted to be with him.

At that moment, Alice even had an impulse to directly reveal the true meaning of the ring.

Alice is a greedy person. The progress is going so smoothly, even beyond expectations. So, it seems that it's okay for her to be a little greedier, right?

If the boy is told the true purpose of the ring, and he still chooses to accept it, does that mean that this thin layer of paper can be easily pierced?

At that moment, the boy truly became her boy.

A jumble of thoughts intertwined, causing Alice's brain to even briefly freeze.
