Her arms were crossed, and her expression was unreadable as she approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to explain why you were trying to knock my door down like a madman?\" she asked, her tone clipped but not entirely angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur raised his hands defensively. \"I thought you weren't answering on purpose! How was I supposed to know you were… um… busy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine arched an eyebrow. \"Busy? I was taking a bath, and you didn't even give me time to respond!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. \"Okay, my bad. I thought you were genuinely ignoring me for some reason, I guess I was just too excited to check something out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine rolled her eyes, a small smirk forming on her lips. \"So, your first instinct is to nearly break the door? Nice logic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not my finest moment,\" Arthur admitted, scratching the back of his neck. \"Let's just pretend this never happened, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine let out a soft laugh. \"Fine, but you owe me for the scare. Maybe dinner or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur blinked his expression deadpan. \"Dinner? I just paid for your lodging and food a few hours ago, and now you want me to pay for dinner too? Do I look like a walking ATM to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine's grin widened. \"Well, if the shoe fits…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur groaned, running a hand down his face. \"Yeah, good one. Real original.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still,\" Jasmine said, her tone turning serious mockingly, with a playful grin on her face. \"You almost barged in on a naked princess. You don't get off that easily. If we were in the royal palace, you would have been charged with treason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur stopped mid-step, turning to look at her with raised eyebrows. \"Treason? Seriously? I get thrown in the royal dungeon because you took too long in the bath?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine nodded solemnly, clearly trying to suppress a laugh. \"Absolutely. The royal guards would have dragged you off before you could even stammer an excuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur crossed his arms, tilting his head. \"Yeah, sure. That totally checks out. But it still leaves one question unanswered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what's that?\" Jasmine asked, her tone smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the hell would I ever be in a royal palace to begin with? Because, as far as I can tell, I don't remember being friends with any royals. Or crashing any high-society parties. And if I was there, I probably wouldn't be looking for you in a bathroom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine laughed, shaking her head. \"You're missing the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, I think I've got it,\" Arthur continued, smirking as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. \"I'd probably be there because someone like you dragged me into a scheme, claiming you were royalty and I needed to help overthrow some tyrant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe,\" he added with a grin on his face, \"I was invited because the palace heard about my amazing auction skills. You know, selling rare items to the highest bidder, making gold hand over fist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine rolled her eyes. \"I hate to break it to you, but royal palaces don't need auctioneers. They just… take what they want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur snapped his fingers. \"Exactly. And I'd be thrown in jail because I wouldn't let them take my inventory. That sounds way more realistic than barging into your bathroom and getting charged with treason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur gave her a flat look. \"Good luck with that,\" he muttered, turning on his heel and heading back up the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine blinked, her amusement fading into confusion. \"Wait, where are you going?\" she asked, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur stopped mid-step, glancing back at her over his shoulder. \"To your room? I told you I want to check something out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine folded her arms, her scepticism written all over her face. \"You're acting all serious now? You were just arguing with me over dinner two seconds ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur turned fully, his expression neutral but his voice carrying a sarcastic tone. \"Yes, because clearly, I make dinner plans in rooms filled with random strangers who might be plotting my demise. Very relaxing environment, by the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed, rolling her eyes, but noticed his expression shift slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" she said, her tone softening. \"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed Arthur and Jasmine quibbling like some old married couple as the inn was very busy and loud, due to its chaotic nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur entered and glanced around for a few seconds before nodding in approval. \"They provide cleaning services too? Not bad for 50 bronze coins a day,\" he muttered, making his way to the chair and plopping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine, leaning casually against the doorframe, raised an eyebrow. \"What do you mean 'cleaning services'? Why is your first thought that someone besides me kept this room clean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur shot her a look, half-amused and half-exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe because you're supposed to be a princess, and princesses aren't usually known for their chore game? Or—check this plot twist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not actually a princess. Shocking, right?\" His voice dripped with sarcasm as if he were narrating the grand reveal of a mediocre stage play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine gasped dramatically, placing a hand on her chest as if wounded. \"How dare you! I'll let you know I can clean very well, thank you. I just choose not to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his smirk growing. \"Oh, so you're saying you have the ability, just not the will? That's even worse! Lazy and entitled. A true royal combination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rolled her eyes, walking further into the room and plopping onto the bed. \"Why do you even care if I clean or not? This is my space, not yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur raised a finger as if making a profound point. \"Wrong. I paid for it, so technically, this is my space. You're just a squatter. A very high-maintenance squatter, might I add.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. He caught it effortlessly, holding it up like a trophy. \"See? High-maintenance. First, you steal my money for room and board, then you demand dinner. Now you're throwing my own property at me. What's next? A royal decree that I hand over all my loot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine's grin widened, taking on an almost predatory edge. \"Oh, that's a great idea. Hand it over,\" she said, holding out her hand expectantly like a debt collector about to get her dues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur looked at her, unimpressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, he shooed her away with his hand like one might do to an annoying, persistent fly. \"Go on, shoo. I've got important things to do right now. Big, grown-up things. You wouldn't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine tilted her head, one eyebrow arching. \"Oh, really? Like what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-06T12:00:36.156Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c8f938f110e1028c4302d1cf284458ab8995ab4a8c8e09dae1d884958d7f295","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-74","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-72",601,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-cover.jpg"]
