Gilead took the handkerchief from Roya, looked around, and indeed noticed some people casting curious glances in their direction.

Kyrie nodded, took the handkerchief Roya handed him, and suddenly whispered in Roya's ear, "Miss Alice is here to see you."

Luo Ya was slightly surprised, but when he turned around, he saw a lovely girl dressed in a nobleman's formal attire with a blush on her face.

Alice looked around with a smug expression, grabbed Roya's hand, and moved to the center of the hall while humming and laughing.

Alice said to Roya, "Grandfather thinks highly of you!"

For once, Alice wore a pleasant smile. But then again, it made sense; she hadn't embarrassed herself at the ball, thanks to Roya.

Thinking of this, Alice gave Roya another sweet smile and said, "Thank you, Roya."

Roya rolled his eyes in annoyance, poked Alice's cheek, and said to her in a gruff tone, "You should call me Master Roya, or you can call me Brother Roya. After all, I'm older than you, and protecting my disciple from embarrassment is what a master should do."

That's what Roya said, and Alice nodded, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

When someone lends a helping hand in the most dangerous situation, people instinctively feel great goodwill towards that person.

Haven't you noticed that some novels always feature the trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress?

Putting everything else aside, these tropes, whether old or not, are undeniably effective. The hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope may be a bit cliché, but it's undeniably useful.

Every little girl dreams of a prince on a white horse, imagining that she will be rescued by him and live happily ever after.

If there were a Prince Charming in this world, who could be more suitable than Roya?

Holding the other person's hand and feeling the aura emanating from them, Alice felt somewhat dazed.

I feel so strange today, no, I've been strange ever since that dance.

Roya's image kept appearing in Alice's mind, from the first time the boy appeared in front of her to every little detail afterward.

Time flies. Was Roja not that tall back then?

The other party always had a cold face, as if someone owed him money.

Only after spending a long time together did Alice realize that the coldness was just a facade, and that the other person was actually a guy with a really wicked sense of humor.

He liked to play silly tricks on himself, and whenever he fell for one, he would smile.

This is Roya, a master who can hardly be considered a very competent one.

But even someone like Roya always manages to lend a helping hand at crucial moments.

For a moment, Alice thought of many things. When Alice led Roya to Sauros, Sauros smiled and said to Roya, "Musician, make the music a little more lively. Today I want to dance with Alice and little brother Roya!"

Luo Ya: ? ? ?

What is that? How do you get two people to dance together?

Then, a light and melodious tune began to play.

Shaolus rushed to Roya and picked up Roya and Alice.

Roya looked at the burly middle-aged man with a strange expression. When Roya was lifted up, Sauros clearly felt that it was a bit heavy. Roya and Sauros looked at each other and both read surprise in each other's eyes.

Sauros was surprised at how heavy Roya was.

Roya was surprised by the other party's somewhat bold behavior.

Roya's skeletal structure changed, which naturally affected his weight. Although Roya was thin and small and seemed to have little flesh, he actually weighed more than two or three adults combined.

Although Roya is a bit heavy, can we say that he's still got it?

Shoros, still expressionless, carried Roya and Alice, happily running around the courtyard while laughing.

The other nobles, seeing this, also applauded in agreement.

What an energetic old gentleman! Seeing this, everyone around him laughed.

It was a very enjoyable dance party.

After the ball, the nobles left the mansion one after another with their servants.

Roya called Gilead and Alice to his room.

Actually, all that was needed was for Gilead to come, but when Roya went to find her, Alice happened to be there too, so he brought Alice along as well.

Alice's stomach rumbled as she saw the food on the table.

She seemed to be both nervous and excited at the ball, so she didn't eat anything.

Seeing their expressions, Luo Ya smiled and said to them, "Eat."

Alice immediately started eating, and Gilead was equally unceremonious, grabbing a piece of animal leg and devouring it.

Luo Ya gave a helpless smile, poured out the wine he had taken from the banquet, and began to slowly savor it.

These days are surprisingly nice.

Roya thought to himself.

Upon seeing the wine swirling in Roya's hand, Alice insisted on having some too, so Roya had no choice but to give her a glass.

It seems that people in this country can only drink alcohol at the age of fifteen, but the alcohol content is not very high, so it should be fine to taste a little bit.

Alice drank the wine in her bowl, and soon two blushes rose on her cheeks.

Luo Ya knew that it was not very rational of him to give the other person a drink.

After drinking, Alice became more talkative. She turned her gaze to Roya, held out a small hand, and asked, "Where's the present?"

Luo Ya didn't expect the other party to ask for a gift at this time, and in fact, Luo Ya only had one gift to offer.

Demonic species.

After numerous improvements, the Demon Seed has been completely evolved into a version without side effects. As for Alice, although the pain would be somewhat unpleasant, it would be more than what Loki could endure.

However, I'll tell her about the demon seed later; it's better if fewer people know about this kind of thing.

However, since the other party had mentioned wanting a so-called gift, Luo Ya naturally couldn't be stingy.

He thought for a moment, then took out a magic stone with a dazzling red light from his pocket, handed it to Alice, and smiled at her, saying, "Happy birthday, Alice."

This was taken from the Red Dragon. Although the battle basically wiped the Red Dragon out of existence, there were still some spoils of war.

Magic stones are naturally one of them.

The bright red gemstone shimmered with dazzling light, sparkling under the oil lamp.

Roya smiled and stroked the girl's hair, saying to her, "Your eyes are just like Alice's. Well, I guess you could say I specially found them for you."

When Kyrie Ia saw the magic stone, her hand, which was shoveling rice into her mouth, paused slightly. She gave Roya a strange look and said, "The magic stone of the Crimson Dragon? You went to the Crimson Dragon Mountains? No, when did you go?"

Roya was caught off guard, not expecting that Kyrie would be able to recognize the Crimson Dragon's magic stone. After thinking for a moment, he could only laugh it off and say, "I bought it from someone else. Hmm, is it the Crimson Dragon's magic stone? No wonder I felt that it contained considerable magic power."

Kyrie Irvine nodded knowingly and said, "Lucky fellow."

The other party actually believed this lie, which sounded so obviously fake. Doesn't that make him a true Gilead?

Alice, however, held the magic stone with great joy.

Magic flowed continuously within it. She didn't care whether the magic stone belonged to a red dragon or not; she only cared that it was a gift from Roya.

Alice smiled at Roya and said, "Thank you, I'm very happy."

Luo Ya touched his nose, once again stunned by the girl's smile.

Is this really Alice? She can actually show such a pure and innocent smile.

Damn, so cute.

Alice carefully put away the crimson stone and continued her work of cooking.

Seeing Alice's behavior reminded Roja of Loki.

Loki also gave Roya a similar magic stone, but in the form of a magic wand.

Oh, right, and about the magic wand.

He seemed to have forgotten, and Roya wondered if he should find some time to return the wands he hadn't given away.

Receiving a gift from Roya was certainly something to be happy about, and Alice subconsciously looked at Kyrie.

For Alice, Gilead was also an extremely important member of her family, so naturally she wanted to receive a gift from Gilead.

Gilead and Alice exchanged glances, while she continued gnawing on the meat of the beast in her hand.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Kyrie Irving said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my race doesn't have this custom, so I didn't prepare anything."

But Gilead didn't make it too clear, did he?

Alice sat down in the chair with a disappointed look on her face.

Although there seems to be no custom in this world where employees are required to give gifts to their employers, it is indeed quite pitiful not to be able to get anything from your favorite Gilead Master.

Roya thought for a moment and said to Kyrie Io, "Kyrie Io, it's okay if you don't prepare a special gift. Just bring something you usually carry with you, or something that can be used as a talisman, as a gift."

He recalled that in the original story, the other party seemed to have given Alice a ring in the same way.

Yes, it prevented two generations of perverts from attacking.

After thinking for a moment, Kyrie Irvine removed a ring from his finger.

It was a wooden ring, quite old and scarred, but whether it was due to the lighting, the material, or some kind of magic applied to it, the reflected light looked somewhat green.

Kyrie Illusion said to Alice, "This is a clan-inherited exorcism ring. It is said that as long as you wear it, you will not be attacked by wolves at night."
