Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Negotiation and Threat

Roa didn't waste words and directly used his 'little tricks.'

He deployed his domain, and invisible magic power spread out, quickly locking onto a magical presence in the Garden that was somewhat weak but also strange.

Roa said to the people behind him, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he took a step forward, and instantly his entire person disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Roa appeared in a secluded corner.

It was a Central European-style courtyard, where a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl was sitting in the courtyard, looking quite content. Although it was the winter solstice and snowing lightly, surprisingly, the surrounding flowers were still blooming.

The girl was elegant, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she was napping with her eyes closed, looking quite relaxed.

She seemed completely absorbed in this world, indulging in her own little world, and didn't notice Roa's arrival at all.

Looking at this somewhat leisurely girl, Roa said, "It seems that Lady Ariel is as lazy as the rumors say."

Ariel opened her eyes, her blue eyes looking at Roa. A hint of surprise appeared on the girl's face, but she quickly hid it.

Ariel sat in the chair, leaning against the backrest. She looked at Roa, her gaze sweeping over Roa's face.

After a moment, Ariel's lips parted slightly, revealing a beautiful curve. The girl said elegantly, "Is this handsome gentleman here to admire the snow with me?"

Roa didn't speak and went straight to sit opposite Ariel. Ariel's appearance was naturally excellent, but weren't all the girls around Roa now of excellent appearance?

Seeing that Roa didn't speak, Ariel continued, "Sir, you must have something to discuss with me, right? Feel free to say it and let me hear it."

Roa pointed to the red tea in Ariel's cup. The cup was still mostly full, and the girl hadn't tasted much of it. The tea had already turned cold.

"Cold tea isn't very tasty, you know. Many things need to be done while they're hot, don't you think?"

Roa wanted to play the enigma, saying something rather cryptic.

Ariel fell into thought, but the contemplation didn't last long. This girl, who called herself the "most beautiful princess of all time," tilted her head, her eyes looking directly at Roa, seeming somewhat puzzled.

Ariel said very directly, "Um, sir, if you have any words or opinions you want to offer, please just say them directly. Don't beat around the bush like this."

In fact, Ariel was very clever, but she didn't want to waste time thinking about trivial matters.

With such a direct statement, Roa didn't feel embarrassed at all. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly."

Ariel sat up straight, her expression serious, and she struck a pose as if she was listening to Roa attentively.

However, Roa's next sentence made Ariel's expression falter, and the girl actually laughed.

"Ariel, do you want to become king?"

Roa said with a serious face.

Ariel's lips curved upward, revealing a charming arc.

Roa put on a stern face, but the girl was smiling very brightly.

The girl still had the mood to laugh in this situation, even though he was seriously asking her.

Roa couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Ariel brushed the golden hair beside her ear. Ariel's hair was very beautiful, and the smooth golden hair and impeccable beauty made Ariel look unattainable. The girl was like a rose, with a charming appearance covered in thorns.

Roa frowned, not understanding why Ariel was laughing. Roa asked strangely, "Is my question that funny?"

Ariel's beautiful eyes looked directly at Roa, and Ariel's lips carried a hint of helplessness. She said very directly, "If you were someone who understood me, you definitely wouldn't say something like that."

Roa looked at Ariel, and Ariel looked back at him.

Roa sighed and said, "Indeed, I don't particularly understand you. I admit that."

Ariel still had that faint smile on her lips, her posture still dignified, her expression gentle, and her delicate face without a single flaw. She was the kind of woman who was stunning at first glance and became more and more fascinating the more you looked at her.

However, such a girl was a girl with a terrible personality.

"It seems you don't know what I want, huh? I'm not particularly interested in pursuing the throne or anything. And my two brothers are more talented than you think."

Ariel's eyes were very calm, and it could be seen that the girl really thought so, without the slightest bit of pretense.

She wasn't as competitive as Roa had imagined, and she didn't have any ambition for the so-called throne.

Roa frowned, finding himself unable to figure out the girl in front of him.

"You seem surprised that I don't plan to compete for the throne?" Ariel pursed her lips slightly. The two were not far apart, and Roa could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's body.

Roa looked at the girl, and the frown on his face quickly relaxed.

Although Ariel didn't plan to become king, which was somewhat unexpected for Roa, the current situation was still under control. As long as Ariel was persuaded, the problem wouldn't be too big.

After figuring out the key, Roa began to directly persuade, "Ariel, becoming the master of this country is a destiny you must fulfill…"

Before Roa could finish his words, the girl burst out laughing, Ariel's eyebrows relaxed, and she seemed to have heard a very funny joke in Roa's words.

Roa looked at Ariel, and Ariel also looked back at the young man.

Roa's expression gradually cooled down, and those light golden eyes stared straight at Ariel.

"Laughing again and again is very impolite, you know? At least, I don't like seeing that kind of smile when someone is seriously asking about something," Roa said expressionlessly.

At the same time, he released a bit of his Sword God aura. Ariel's smile instantly froze, and Ariel felt as if a sharp sword was resting on her neck, and a great sense of fear surged into her heart.

Roa looked at Ariel expressionlessly. The girl and the boy were still sitting opposite each other, but he didn't know when a black longsword had appeared in front of Roa.

Roa wouldn't take action just because the other party laughed a few times. That would be too petty.

Doing this was just to put some pressure on the other party and make them see the situation clearly.

Honestly, Roa wanted to kidnap her at this time and directly make Ariel submit.

It wasn't as if Roa would easily let her go just because Ariel disagreed.

Applying pressure was necessary.

However, the effect was obvious.
