Chapter 39: He's Crazy
"Excuse me, is there anything unseemly about what I'm doing?" With a hint of apology in his smile, Kvance bowed slightly again and asked earnestly.
Aliana did not reply directly, but continued to stare at the other party indifferently.
She didn't believe that the guy in front of her would really be invited because of some admiration for chess skills, and there must be other purposes.
The people who may come to her for trouble at the moment must be inseparable from Rogers.
Alina uses the [Foreknowledge Bonus] to find that it can only reflect the vague future, which makes her more sure of this conjecture again.
After all, this is only the case with things that are highly related to Rutgers.
The only people who have the motive to plot her and are related to Rogus are the Holy Maiden, Montroy, and the Third Prince.
Alice would definitely not do such a thing, and Alina couldn't figure out what else Montroy, who could only be cautiously dormant at the moment, could have any means to invite a head of the academy.
Then only the Third Prince remains, but what effect does convincing a Chief to invite him to dinner will accomplish? Spreading rumors to divide her and Rutgers?
Destroying her reputation, or putting her at odds with Rutgers, does have the potential to undermine the future union of the Devin family and the Breed family.
But this prince was obviously courting Rogers a few days ago, why couldn't he wait to make a tentative move so soon?
After thinking about it, Alina felt that even if the third prince had this motive, there was no need to resort to such clumsy means......
Unable to sort out a clear clue, she organized her words and questioned in a distant voice:
"Why did you want to invite me so suddenly? Is it really just for dinner? ”
Rufia also clearly sensed that something was wrong with Alina's tone and attitude, and she took the initiative to stand in front of her friend, staring at Kravance with a determined and alert gaze, like a female beast guarding her cubs.
Seeing the reaction of the two, Kvance looked particularly embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of helplessness: "I can swear, I really want to invite Miss Alina." ”
"What about the second half of the sentence?" Aliana's eyes were slightly closed, undisguised from the scrutiny, and Kremance was slightly stunned by the gaze of this gaze.
Seeing the other party's stunned appearance, her tone remained unchanged, and she followed closely:
"You should make your expression more relaxed, especially to control the range of eyebrow movement, and to be more natural in tone and eyes. You're really much worse than that guy.
"So please finish what you need to say before things get worse."
Hearing Alina's explanation, Corvins's expression gradually became subtle, and he praised in an admiring tone: "Your wisdom is so remarkable, it is no less beautiful than yours." ”
Alina shook her head and sighed when she heard this, not feeling the slightest honor for this appreciation, but a lot of tiredness appeared in her expression.
Living with a scammer who is good at fraud every day will always accumulate some strange experiences.
That's something she's just realized.
"I'd also like to ask Rogers how to play chess." Believing that Aliana's exhaustion was a sign of boredom, Kvance soon proceeded to reveal his true purpose.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I have much time to spare anytime soon, but by the end of the week, we can have a spell showdown, and I'll submit a request to my mentor tomorrow."
Alina's face was full of impatience, and after inviting Klevance to face off, she picked up the textbook with one hand and Lufia with the other and walked out of the classroom quickly.
Only Krvins stayed in place with a blank expression, he stared blankly at the backs of the two girls who were drifting apart, and he didn't understand why he was suddenly proposed to face each other......
"Why did you propose a duel to him?" Lufia had just stepped out of the spiral tower with Alina, and couldn't help but ask.
"Because if you beat him up like Caspar, you'll save you a lot of trouble in the future, just like Roggers did."
Alina looked at the sunset on the horizon, and her afterglow swept over several of her classmates in Augustus College uniforms, and her tone replied resolutely.
"Shall we tell Rutgers about this? Will he be in a lot of trouble? Rufia didn't quite understand, but instinctively caught something.
"Of course I have to tell him, I have to describe it more seriously, I want to see how he reacts.
"And is he in less trouble? And that's just the beginning. Alina reached out and pinched Rufia's little face, and then seemed to think of something, and continued:
"By the way, how much do you know about the Third Prince?"
……
The scene before Rogers shifted and shifted until it landed on a vast plank perched between the branches of a tall oak tree.
The dim glow passed through the dense foliage, forming a dappled light and shadow that fell on him.
In front of him, there is a treehouse made of logs and a very simple appearance.
This treehouse looks very quaint, with a slight trace of time engraved on the outside of the house, and the whole exudes a faint woody fragrance.
When the breeze blows through the branches, the vines that cover the eaves sway gently, bringing a different kind of charm.
"Professor Alana?" Rogers looked at the mentor beside him and wondered.
The treehouse looked like it was supposed to be Idrull's home in the game, and he thought that Alana was going to talk to him about linguistics, but now it seems that something is not quite right.
"Let's go inside." Alana didn't say much, just raised her hand to push open the door and beckoned Rogus in.
The furnishings are very simple, almost like an enlarged version of a temporary dormitory, with at most a bookshelf.
The first thing Rogers noticed was Caspar lying on the ground.
There was a straw mat under him, and his body was tightly bound by vines, and a black object was stuffed in his mouth, which looked like some kind of fruit.
Idrul sat on a small wooden stool, staring at Caspar with a furrowed brow.
"Haven't you found the reason yet?" Alana walked up to Idrul and looked down at Caspar as well.
"No ......," Idrul sighed, turned to Rogers, and explained:
"He had been asleep for a long time after his duel with you, and he finally woke up this morning, but he looked crazy.
"By noon, I was even experiencing manic symptoms and almost demolished my apartment.
"I really don't see why, but as the notary of your duel, I can't let it go, so I asked Alana to bring you here.
"But don't worry, because you are a traditional duel, plus my notarization, you don't need to bear any responsibility."
Rogers bowed in understanding as he slowly walked to Caspar's side as he watched the message pop up in the prompt box.
