I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Chara is much younger than Alicia imagined, but just as she imagined, he is really good-looking.

Xia Ya had a good foundation in the past, maybe because he inherited the power of destiny, or maybe because the protagonist of the destiny he inherited was a pretty boy. His skin condition is better, his teeth are whiter, and his facial features are more coordinated. .

After losing his heart, his mentality of being almost desireless made his temperament become calm and mysterious.

Char walked down the stairs, took out the copper kettle for boiling water from the cupboard, took some water from the sink, and put it on Calcifer's body.

Then, he looked at Alicia and looked at him with a little curiosity on his face.

"Have I seen you before?"

"No, we've never met."

Alicia lied without changing her face. In a sense, it was not actually a lie. After all, she did not "meet" him, and she was different now from the past.

She didn't want the people in front of her to know that she was the princess at the ball. This had nothing to do with secrets or heart, and she didn't want him to know anyway.

"So, can you tell me why you are here?"

Xia continued to ask. He took the boiling copper kettle on one side away from the fire, poured himself a cup of hot water, and put it aside to wait for it to cool down.

"I just stayed overnight last night." Alicia said truthfully, "Your magic little fire respects the old man very much. It took me in because I felt sorry for me."

"Really?" Char looked at Calcifer.

"But now, I think I have to live here for a long time." Alicia said seriously.

Xia Ya looked at her with interest, "Why?"

"Don't you notice anything? My child."

Alicia's voice was hoarse and old. She slowed down her speaking speed and tried hard to pretend to be an old and wise elder. In fact, she looked like one even if she didn't pretend.

He walked to the workbench on one side, stretched out his wrinkled hands and wiped them on the table, and then showed his dusty fingers to Xia Ya.

"Look, your place is so dirty that no one can live in it."

Xia Ya looked around, then nodded, "It does seem a little bit, so, what do you want to say?"

"You need a cleaning woman here!" Alicia said.

"Are you good at cleaning?" Xia looked at Alicia and said.

"You can try me out for a month!" Alicia said confidently, "I don't charge any wages!"

"Sounds very good." Xia Ya said.

"That's great." Calcifer smiled from one side, "Char can't afford your wages."

Alicia asked curiously, "Will the wizard still be short of money?"

"I just arrived here not long ago." Xia Ya said, "There is no currency of this country yet."

Alicia suddenly remembered what she had heard from the maid in the palace.

When I say "I just arrived here not long ago," I guess it means "I just arrived in this world not long ago."

What on earth is he? He has enslaved a demon. Is he also a demon?

Eating hearts also seems like something a devil would do.

Alicia felt that she was very close to the truth.

But this did give her one more bargaining chip to keep.

She continued: "In this case, I can help you. I have a lot of money."

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows, continued to raise the water glass in his hand, blew the hot air on it, and took a sip without saying anything.

"When people get old and don't have children, they always save some pension money, right?" Alicia raised her eyebrows.

"You mean, not only will you work for free, but you will also give me money?" Xia Ya teased.

"You have to understand, kid." Alicia said in an old-fashioned way, "At my age, money is already the most insignificant thing, but people always have to realize themselves.

For example, I like cleaning very much. To be honest, this is the dirtiest house I have ever seen, so I can't leave here at all. "

Xia Ya nodded, "A very good reason."

"You mean, I can stay?" Alicia said happily.

"I don't like making choices, but if you want to stay, I won't drive you away." Xia Ya said.

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. If she couldn't stay, she really didn't know what reason to find.

However, her happiness did not last long as her stomach growled. After walking such a long way yesterday, she ate some bread and now she was hungry.

She looked at Xia Ya, "I think you won't be stingy about providing breakfast for me, a poor old lady, right?"

Xia Ya stood up, walked to the cupboard on one side, took out a dinner plate with a plate cover, placed it on the table, and took off the lid. Inside was a cut cake. It was Xia Ya who was there. The kind you eat at banquets.

Yes, he also packed it.

Although the shelf life of the cake is short, it is only one day old and the inside of the castle is not very hot, so it is still edible.

"Eat." Xia Ya said.

"Thank you." Alicia staggered to the table and sat down, and Xia handed her a fork, which was the only washed fork he used.

Although she was tired from traveling and was hungry, she still ate decently and had an air of nobility that could not be concealed.

After enjoying the food, Alicia put down her fork and said.

"It's delicious, like it was made by a pastry chef in the palace."

Because it was made by the pastry chef in the palace, Xiaya thought.

"Where's the broom here?"

"Are we going to start now?" Xia Ya smiled.

Alicia rolled up her sleeves, revealing her skinny old arms, "I'm very motivated now!"

To be honest, she has been blind for so long and doesn't really care much about the living environment. But as someone who has lived in the palace, the dust that can be stirred up by just walking around is really unbearable for her.

When she thought about living here for a while in the future, she couldn't wait to clean it up.

She was a cleaner when she was a child. Although she was a royal daughter, she lived outside the palace until she was eight years old.

At that time, her father had some conflicts with the royal family. She couldn't remember the specific reasons. Anyway, they were probably some commonplace stories.

The house she lived in at that time was actually not much bigger than this. That period was her happiest time.

She tied an old cloth strip to her sparse white hair, made a simple mask, covered her face, and then found an old tablecloth from the broom cupboard to use as an apron.

She planned to clean the first floor today. The room was not big and it would not take much time.

She took a bucket of water from the sink, then picked up the broom and started working.

The castle was really scary and dirty. As the broom was being swept, dust was flying throughout the room. Calcifer was choked and coughed violently, and he complained to Char.

"Hey! Xia Ya, can't you make her move less?"

"Never interrupt a woman when she's in the mood," said Charia.

Then, he picked out a book from the stack of books on the workbench on one side, ignored Calcifer who was choking on the dust and coughing on the other side, and walked up the stairs.
