They don't want me to work harder

Richard touched his neck, feeling mixed for a moment.

Next, he plans to return to the palace and continue to visit the library to decipher the three parchments of Necromancer Heiman.

However, as soon as he returned home, he was found by a group of palace attendants and learned important news.

"...The Imperial Sword Luvia is coming?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is said that she is going to Divine Grace Island to perform military duties and will come to Connaught Palace to visit." A herald replied respectfully: "This incident is very sudden, but Your Majesty has already started to prepare for the welcome... "

Suddenly?It’s not sudden if you think about it...

Richard thought to himself that he had been accidentally attacked and killed in the recent simulation. With Luvia's character, she would definitely not be able to help but come to visit.

It is necessary to give a good welcome and make people feel at ease.

After discussing with everyone for a while, Richard returned to the bedroom first.

But as soon as he walked outside the door, with his keen five senses, he heard what seemed to be someone's voice inside - maybe it was a woman?

Wait, could it be that Luvia came secretly in advance?

Considering the fact that the two now have a secret relationship, it's not impossible.

Nyang Le, the anemia crisis has just been resolved, is your body about to face new challenges?

Richard subconsciously adjusted his collar and opened the door carefully.

However, what appeared in the bedroom was a beautiful azure color.

Alice stroked her hair, tilted her head, smiled, and whispered softly:

"What, junior fellow student, are you surprised to see it's me?"

Chapter 124 Why did it become like this?

Can you not be surprised?

After a busy day, I returned to the bedroom and found that there was an extra beautiful woman. Isn't this a deliberate test for the cadres?

Richard swallowed, looking slightly embarrassed.

Alice was sitting at the table under the window reading a book. At this time, she stood up, put down her book, and walked to the door.

The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a halo on her porcelain-white and delicate skin.

She smiled mischievously and asked, "Would you like me to guess who you thought was behind the door?"

Stop asking, stop asking...

Richard instantly felt possessed by a certain section chief, waved his hands repeatedly, and then chose to answer the question with a question: "Senior, why are you here today? You didn't even notify me to greet her. This is really rude of me."

"Sure enough, when I want to change the subject, people become polite."

"Ah, no... I just think it's too dangerous for you to do this."

"It makes sense."

Alice narrowed her pretty eyes slightly and glanced at the spot on Richard's neck where the vampire's teeth marks were still left. Then she took a step forward and came so close that she was only a fist away from Richard.

She stretched out her jade-like fingers, gently helped Richard straighten his collar, and said with a smile: "But I believe that your strength, junior, can protect me, right?"

No, no, no, you are still stronger now, right?

Richard raised his brows slightly, feeling the huge unconcealed magic power in the beauty in front of him - only one step behind William. This progress was so fast.

Considering that the other party can participate in the simulation, it is not surprising that one and two times are cheating.

Speaking of simulation, in the last simulation, Alice and Luvia came together, and then she was "miserable". Is this scene going to be staged in advance now?

Just when Richard was thinking wildly, Alice was also confused.

The girl thought to herself: We haven’t seen each other for so long (including simulation time), and I feel that Richard is even more attractive...

And not only his appearance, but his recent achievements are also amazing.

Humph, he is indeed the man I like~

I really want to do all the things I did in the simulation right now!

Bah, bah, bah, Alice, Alice, you are so shameless!

But...it's really time to hurry up...

The younger students are becoming more and more attractive, and there are more and more naughty cats around them.

The faint tooth marks just now belong to that female pirate, right?Humph, just because you have no official position or responsibility, you go out to hook up with others!And Luvia, if you want to go to Divine Grace Island, just go to Divine Grace Island. The empire’s coastline is so long and you have to start from Connaught. This little calculation couldn’t be more obvious...

The more she thought about this in her heart, the bigger the smile on Alice's surface became. It wasn't until Richard couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva that she said softly:

"I didn't come here secretly. I officially informed you. It's just that I wanted to see you, junior, so much that I couldn't wait any longer, so I just made it a little early."

"As for the purpose of coming this time, it is actually because I have formed two new merchant fleets and want to establish a trading station and transit warehouse in Connaught. My junior may not know that I have obtained a new direct territory in Fandan. I’m thinking about expanding my financial resources…”

Sniffing the warm fragrance, Richard let out a deep breath.

This can be regarded as bypassing the previous topic!

Just start talking about business.

Seeing Richard relax, Alice added: "If possible, I would also like to establish a company and factory in Connaught. If my junior can help, I can give you some shares...perhaps tens of thousands of gold coins every year. The profit~”

Richard subconsciously widened his eyes.

Although he had not been short of money in his personal life in the academy in the past because of the [Golden Apostle], he still clearly felt the financial pressure after returning to his hometown.

In a small place like Connaught, only the port was profitable, and a lot of it was taken away by the empire, so the treasury was always empty.

In the past, it was okay for the royal family to be in ruins. When he wanted to do something, he was inevitably in trouble everywhere.

Among other things, he wanted to add a few good ships to the navy a month ago, but he hasn't done it yet.

Therefore, Alice's proposal was extremely tempting to him.

And even if the financial issue is put aside, allowing the Vandan power represented by Alice to enter Connaught may be able to check and balance the Empire's power in the future...

Alice saw Richard's eyes shining brightly, and two little figures with arms akimbo appeared behind him.

One said in her ear: "That's right, that's right, this is how our princess chases men! Why do you need to compete with that pirate and barbarian?"

Another said: "Next, just push him down and do that again..."

The first little person shook his head slightly: "This is a bit unprinciple..."

"Just tell me whether you want it or not?"

"……think!"

Agree!

Alice sighed softly and lamented that she was a bad learner.

Just when she wanted to discuss further details with Richard, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Although Richard and Alice do have a close relationship, the news that Princess Vandam appeared in the bedroom of Prince Connaught is still a bit too exciting at the moment.

Alice winked at Richard and sneaked into the cloakroom of the bedroom.

Seeing that the person was hiding, Richard immediately opened the door.

Outside was the former courtesy officer. He couldn't hide his excitement at this time and told the news:

"Your Highness, we just received a letter from Princess Fandan..."

Well, second-hand news.

Richard pretended to know it for the first time, matching the other party's emotions, and lamented that my little Connaught could welcome two big men to visit at the same time. He must entertain him well, and everyone must do their best to prepare a welcome dinner...

Unable to wait for anyone to leave, Richard closed the door and wanted to turn around and continue talking to Alice.

Then he saw the open window.

And the red-haired beauty who was looking down at her boots, embarrassed that she had accidentally brought dirt into the bedroom.

Yes……

It's Luvia.

what? !

"Richard!"

Before Richard could react, Luvia had already moved close to him, opened her arms without hesitation, and gave him a hug that was full of weight and tactile, but a bit suffocating.

But Richard couldn't enjoy it.

Alice is still in the cloakroom!

She is watching!

Why, why did it become like this?

Luvia, on the other hand, said to herself: "The original plan was to arrive at night, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I came secretly..."

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was another knock on the bedroom door.

"Your Highness, the snacks are ready..."

This time Katyusha came.

"Yeah, do I have to hide it first?"

Luvia knew that the relationship between the two would not be exposed, so she consciously let go of her hand and found a place to hide.

Richard stretched out his hand to stop:
