Although she really wanted to make that jab, Alice restrained the impulse and said solemnly:
"Jeno was killed by you, and the Diablos Cult's stronghold was also wiped out by Shadow Garden. However, we found an ancient artifact they left behind in the stronghold.
Its exact function is unknown, so we invited Sherry Barnett, the academy's top artifact genius, to decipher it."
"What does that have to do with me? And I feel like I've heard the name Sherry Barnett somewhere before. Hmm?"
Ye Yunchuan was clearly not suffering from dementia. He immediately recalled the pink-haired girl he had met before.
"Your ability to defeat a Knights of the Round candidate is enough to prove your strength, so I want to ask you to help protect Sherry."
Alice did not beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.
"I don't mind helping, but what's in it for me?"
Ye Yunchuan raised an eyebrow.
"Eh?!" Alice was somewhat stunned by his words. After all, he was her younger sister's boyfriend, so she had never considered what benefits she should offer Ye Yunchuan before coming here.
"Your Highness, don't tell me you expect me to work for free?"
Taking advantage of her daze, Ye Yunchuan pressed his moral offensive.
"Th-this... What do you want? As long as it's something I can do, I won't refuse."
After suffering the blow dealt by Shadow Garden, Alice was no longer as confident in her own strength.
Thus, when faced with someone as powerful as Ye Yunchuan, she naturally intended to recruit him as best she could.
"Can I have you, then?"
"Eh?!"
Alice's beautiful eyes widened at once.
A Date? ###
"Lord Yunchuan, you're not joking, are you?"
Alice's expression changed slightly.
She had never expected Ye Yunchuan to suddenly say something like that.
