As an ordinary person, a flower in a greenhouse, how could she encounter such a situation? Although Ariel played quite wildly, she wouldn't face such a direct threat from Roa.
Ariel's face turned pale at this moment. For some reason, her calves were constantly trembling, and a sense of fear emerged from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid of the man in front of her, not only physically, but even in her heart she felt this way. This feeling was very uncomfortable.
Ariel bit her lip and stubbornly raised her eyes to meet Roa's sharp eyes.
"What, you want to take action if you can't convince me?"
Ariel's voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to appear calm.
"Ariel, I don't intend to take action." Roa's calm voice came, and the boy's eyes were very calm, without the slightest ripple.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who could be called beautiful as a flower, Roa stroked the black longsword and said seriously, "I only hope that you can seriously consider every word I say next."
"I've always been serious," Ariel retorted, but when she met Roa's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little timid, and her words were not very confident.
Roa didn't dwell on this topic and continued with what he had said before.
"Ariel, if you don't become king at this time, you will regret it in the future, and you will regret it a lot."
Roa looked at Ariel calmly, his tone firm, as if he was stating a fact.
Ariel frowned, her calves trembling non-stop. After all, Roa's aura just now was too terrifying, and she was just a very ordinary person who had never experienced such a scene, so it was only natural that she would become like this.
Ariel took a deep breath, and the exhaled hot air formed white mist in the air, which quickly dissipated in the empty courtyard.
Ariel straightened her clothes, but her clothes were not messy. She only did this to calm her bad mood.
"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a very ordinary girl and I don't understand what you mean," Ariel said, defending herself.
Roa didn't let Ariel continue. Roa reached his hand out of the hall, and a snowflake fell into Roa's hand.
Ariel looked at Roa's actions, feeling a little inexplicable. Roa looked at Ariel, but he didn't speak.
Many times, a person can't control their own destiny. Just like when snow falls, no snowflake is innocent, and no snowflake can escape the general trend.
And Ariel was like this snow. Even if you do nothing, you will still fade away in your hands.
Seeing that Roa was silent, Ariel directly asked, "What will happen in the future? Why do you say that?"
"The position of king could have been given to your eldest brother or second brother, but the most suitable candidate can only be you."
Roa said seriously.
This answer didn't satisfy Ariel, and she continued to ask, "Why?"
"They are both excellent enough, and there is no problem with becoming heirs, but after they take the throne, in ten years, no, maybe five years, they will start a war. This is not what I want to see."
Roa's expression was solemn as he said this.
In fact, this was not the real reason why Roa wanted Ariel to become king. He was mainly afraid that King Asura would become an apostle of the Human God, and then the entire country would become the Human God's backyard, and he would be tossed around by the Human God in various ways.
War was only a part of it. What Roa needed to do now was to kill all the unstable factors in the cradle so that his plan could proceed smoothly.
Of course, the fact proved that if a war really broke out, the country would be in a mess for a long time to come.
Hearing Roa's words, Ariel thought for a moment and said, "I don't think my two brothers would do such a thing. I've been with them since I was a child, and I know their personalities well."
Roa directly interrupted Ariel's words, his voice already carrying a few strands of impatience, "What if someone gives your two brothers ideas from behind?"
"Impossible, my brothers can't easily believe others. They have their own judgment." Ariel shook her head, denying Roa's statement.
Roa sighed deeply, feeling that this group of people were all stubborn donkeys who wanted to go against him in everything.
"Then what if the other party is the person your brother trusts the most, and that person proposes something that seems very tempting at a critical moment, but is actually a huge trap?"
Afraid that Ariel wouldn't understand, Roa gave an example later, "For example, as long as you start a war at a certain time, you can unify the world and annex other countries. Do you think your brother would agree to such a temptation?"
After the voice fell, this time Ariel didn't refute, but thought about the possibility in Roa's words.
Soon, Ariel came to a conclusion.
If it really happened as Roa said, this thing was very likely to happen.
Ariel's brother was still young, and it was the time of great ambition. Her brother was not mediocre, and at this age, he would naturally have the idea of showing off his skills.
If it really happened as Roa assumed, this thing would be very likely to happen.
For Asura Kingdom, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
For other countries, war was indeed too cruel. For civilians, many people would die in the war, but for a big country, this war was not only harmful but also beneficial, otherwise her brother would not have launched such a war.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Roa sighed deeply.
And this trip was very unsuccessful. The previous obstruction was fine, but now that he found this little girl, he was told that she didn't want to be a king at all.
Ariel didn't know what kind of heavy responsibility she was carrying on her shoulders. It seemed that she still had a casual attitude towards the throne.
"Ariel, you don't seem to understand your current situation." Roa's voice became cold.
Gazing directly into the azure eyes, the young man stared intently at the petite girl before him, declaring with a stern expression, "No matter what, I will not allow your two elder brothers to ascend to that position."
"If you want to know why, I will tell you they will bring war. Of course, that's not the only reason. There are more things I haven't said. I have my own considerations. I can only say that they cannot sit on that throne unless you compete for it."
At this point, Roa paused, revealing a row of white teeth, and said in an icy tone, "Then I will kill them all. Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill them."
This was a final ultimatum.
In that moment, Roa no longer restrained his aura. The predatory presence of someone at the top of the food chain made Ariel's heart tremble, the terrifying sensation of standing on the edge of an abyss piercing her nerves.
Roa didn't waste any more words. The jet-black sword in his hand dissipated, and he left with a final statement: "You may not know who I am. My name is Roa Greyrat. I'll give you one last day to consider. You becoming king is good for you, good for the Asura Kingdom, and good for your two brothers."
With that, Roa vanished, leaving Ariel with a pale face.
Roa was only trying to intimidate Ariel, forcing her to comply.
Verbal persuasion alone wouldn't get through to Ariel. Necessary force was essential.
Intimidation and enticement – both methods had to be used.
However, to Roa's surprise, the intimidation worked very well, remarkably so.
Ariel's heart pounded violently. She tried to stand, but her legs were weak and seemed to have no strength.
Not only that, but she hadn't noticed before. Now she realized that her thighs were wet.
Ariel was just an ordinary person. Roa's intimidation had triggered a physical reaction. Ariel hadn't experienced much at this point in her life.
Ariel sighed, her expression turning troubled. She looked around, but the courtyard was empty. After confirming that Roa was gone, she complained loudly, "Why do troublesome things always find me? Why?!"
As if that wasn't enough, Ariel raised her fist and slammed it hard on the table.
But when her fist collided with the stone table, only Ariel herself felt the pain.
Looking at her swollen hands, Ariel transformed into a table-clearing master, sweeping everything off the table. Teacups and other items fell to the ground, creating a series of shattering sounds.
Only then did Ariel feel a little better.
Looking at her wet skirt, Ariel sat expressionlessly in the courtyard.
She fell into thought.
She pondered for a long time until the sky gradually faded, then she exhaled.
She stood up, shaking her legs. The numbness had subsided, and she could move freely again.
However, as royalty, being scared into wetting herself by someone's intimidation was quite embarrassing.
No, not just royalty. Anyone who wet themselves out of fear would have this event etched onto their personal pillar of shame.
Ariel initially had a gloomy face, but then she seemed to think of something extremely funny and couldn't help but laugh.
The girl's features were still exquisite, unbelievably beautiful.
Ariel's lips curved into a charming smile. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, tidied her clothes, and tried to conceal the wet part of her skirt.
After doing all this, Ariel looked at the distant snowy scenery and murmured, "I always discussed with the guards what it felt like to pee yourself. I didn't expect to experience it myself today. But, it doesn't feel bad, Roa. I'll remember you."
As she said this, Ariel's pale face gained a few hints of color, and a slight flush appeared on her cheeks.
…Elsewhere…
Roa didn't expect that intimidating a princess would make him be remembered.
Roa didn't know that Ariel's thought process was different from ordinary people. Ariel was unlike other princesses, who would pay close attention to their understanding and whether their words were impolite.
Ariel was different. She would discuss inappropriate topics in front of others and flirt with male and female servants in her spare time. She could even discuss very lewd topics with Luke.
In short, Ariel was somewhat abnormal.
Of course, Roa had already turned his attention away from Ariel. He was now being led by Isolte to tour the palace.
Needless to say, the palace was indeed luxurious, a world apart from Fittoa.
It wasn't that the house in Fittoa wasn't luxurious enough, but this place was too luxurious. There was no comparison.
After touring half of it, Roa even had the idea of moving his dojo here.
The Holy Land of Swords was called a sanctuary, but it wasn't as noble as the capital of the Asura Kingdom. The Holy Land of Swords was ultimately a place for practicing swordsmanship. The older generation didn't value many things and emphasized hard training. The environment wasn't necessarily harsh, but the conditions certainly weren't good.
After walking around, Roa had a general understanding of the palace's layout and the status of the Water God Style here.
The Asura Kingdom did treat the Water God Style as the mainstream.
There was nothing wrong with doing so. In fact, whether it was the Water God Style, the Sword God Style, or the North God Style, the difference in level within the same rank wasn't significant. It was just that their philosophies and uses were different.
It wasn't that one style was necessarily weaker than another.
For example, although the North God Style had a gap in the middle, the Death God among the great powers was a master of the North God Style. Could you say he was weak?
Another example was the Water God Style. Although the current Water God wasn't Roa's opponent, the Dragon God was best at the Water God Style. His Water God Style had reached the God-rank and was much stronger than the Water God.
It could only be said that there was no absolute strength or weakness in swordsmanship.
And now it seemed that the Water God Style, except for the leader, the Water God, being inferior to Roa, the quality of the disciples was quite good.
Moreover, with a rising star like Isolte in the future, as long as Isolte didn't die, the Water God Style would continue to flourish.
Thinking of this, Roa couldn't help but click his tongue and take another look at the girl beside him.
It had to be said that the blue-haired beauty was quiet and gentle. Although she had a lot of opinions about him, she was still pleasing to the eye.
Isolte, who was walking in front, glanced at Roa without leaving a trace and noticed that he had a distracted expression. Feeling annoyed, Isolte quickened her pace and soon led Roa to a luxurious-looking room.
Roa wasn't too picky about rooms.
He had lived in luxurious rooms and rooms with only a wooden plank. For Roa, as long as it was a room, it was enough.
