I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 298

Chapter 4: Women’s Affairs Have Nothing to Do with Men

Today is the last day of finals.

No matter which world you’re in, the end of a semester signifies the start of a celebration.

Starting today, the curfew is lifted; students can come and go from the academy freely as long as they just report in.

However, recently the academy has been jointly investigating, so identity checks will be a bit stricter.

Different people have different ways of celebrating.

Most guys will pull all-nighters with their friends, while little couples might head out for a romantic night, and some bolder pairs even sneak into each other’s dorms for a thrill.

In short, after a busy semester, today is finally a day off, and it’s all about having fun.

But when it comes to Roy, he can’t seem to enjoy it.

“Nia, it’s been a while; you seem to be doing well lately.”

“Your Highness Charlotte, it’s you who seems quite lively! But with all your faction business, how come you have time to come here for a meal today?”

“Miss Nia, you jest. Isn’t it only natural to visit my own knight? But what about you, Miss Nia? A rare day off, and you’re not out and about in the city? Isn’t that a bit of a shame?”

“Look at you, whether shopping or staying home, it all depends on who you’re with. Being alone is so boring.”

“Hehehe…”

“Hehehe…”

Roy was stuck between the two girls at the dining table.

Listening to their forced laughter and seeing their icy glares, Roy truly couldn’t find the fun in it.

Having one beautiful girl is fun; having two is a burden.

To be honest, as long as Charlotte and Nia didn’t pull each other’s hair or come at him with their weapons, he was pretty satisfied.

But being satisfied doesn’t mean he was used to it.

Usually, the two of them had an invisible agreement to avoid each other, either scheduling their times apart or seeing each other only on different days.

But today was the first day of break, and the atmosphere filled with school-wide celebration seemed to have gotten to them, causing their paths to cross.

Charlotte suddenly put down her knife and fork and glanced at Roy.

“I just happened to bring along some royal blend mixed tea. How about we let Alice brew some for a taste? I remember the first gift you sent me was this; you must miss the taste of home, right?” At this point, Charlotte hesitated a bit, her gaze shifting but still quietly added, “The flavor of sun-kissed oranges and grapefruits lingers with both acidity and sweetness, just like when we first met.”

The last part sounded as awkward as if she had rehearsed it, but the princess’s sneaky, cute cat-like gaze made Roy’s heart itch.

Roy was about to agree when he saw Charlotte turn her head towards Nia.

“Nia, why don’t you try some of our first encounter’s flavor as well?”

Now Roy didn’t dare to speak.

The elf girl’s smile instantly froze.

With Roy in front of her, Nia suppressed her frustration, her chest rising and falling.

But then, propping her chin with both hands, she narrowed her eyes sweetly at Roy: “Tea is nice, but since it’s a rare day off, how about having a little wine to relax?”

“Like that honey wine we had before. Sipping some wine, feeling the evening breeze, and enjoying the night sky, how relaxing.”

With that, Nia shot a glance at Charlotte, pretending to be cheerful, “Charlotte, you should join us.”

“Let’s taste the sweetness of my love with Roy.”

A sharp ‘screech’ split the air.

Under Roy’s terrified gaze, Charlotte raised her hand.

The once delicate fork was miraculously reduced to a puddle of molten iron!

“Sorry, I haven’t been controlling my strength well lately. It would be bad if I accidentally hurt someone.” Charlotte’s cheeks twitched slightly, her eyes fierce enough to eat someone alive.

But Nia showed no fear; in fact, she leaned closer to Roy and exaggeratedly said, “Then you better watch out.”

“What if you scare Roy?”

Roy continued to chop his steak, appearing calm, but cold sweat started to bead on his forehead.

Even if he accepted their three-way relationship, he had no way to handle these two girls who insisted on one-upmanship every time they met — he could only pretend not to see it.

While classmates either indulged in drinks or went all out in celebrations, how did mealtime morph into such a nerve-wracking affair for him?!

Thinking this, Roy felt like crying.

But the two girls didn’t even leave him that chance as they both turned to him in unison.

“So, Roy, what do you want to drink?” *2

“Tea for relaxation and digestion — it’s definitely tea.”

“A little wine would be great; after we drink, we can sleep right away.”

Under the pressure from the two girls, Roy was caught in a bind and ultimately had to throw down his trump card named Alice.

“Why don’t we let Alice decide?”

“Alice, what do you want to drink?”

When Roy looked up, he realized the usually quiet blonde girl seemed even more silent than usual.

Hearing Roy’s question, Alice hurriedly lifted her head.

“Yes!”

“So, what do you want to drink?” Roy asked again.

“What, drink what?” Alice tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

It was rare to see Alice, who was usually meticulous, so spaced out.

Worried, Roy’s tone softened involuntarily: “Just drink whatever you want. We’ll be right here with you.”

So, in front of everyone, Alice presented a steaming cup of milk.

Although it wasn’t Alice’s intent, and even Roy himself had forgotten, the warm milk was the same drink the villain had served the blonde girl on the night they first met.

Both Charlotte and Nia exchanged strange looks but didn’t say anything against Roy’s choice and started sipping.

They both knew that Alice didn’t have romantic feelings for Roy and had long gotten used to Roy’s pampering of Alice as her master.

Anyway, the milk tasted pretty good, so they decided not to worry about the details.

Charlotte fiddled with her hair, pretending to be casual, and asked, “By the way, Roy, are you busy tomorrow?”

“On the first day of break, what on earth would I be busy with?” Roy chuckled a bit.

“Then if that’s the case, do you want to…”

Nia seized the moment to interject: “Want to go out in the streets together?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the atmosphere at the table shifted.

Charlotte glared at Nia, straightened her back, and with the air of a top student, began to coldly jeer, “Miss Nia, I remember you failed your exams. Instead of thinking about Roy, why don’t you focus on your retakes?”

By the way, Charlotte topped the entire school’s final exams.

In the face of the study-oriented pressure, even Nia couldn’t help but shrink her neck a bit: “Retakes, no big deal!”

But she quickly narrowed her eyes and shot back, “But Princess Charlotte, you’re the one with so many important affairs; why not go take care of your faction business first?”

Being poked at a sensitive spot, Charlotte ground her teeth.

If it had been usual, it would have been fine, but both girls were fiercely reluctant to give up the right to spend Roy’s first day of break with him.

Not only because this was a rare chance to enjoy each other’s company without the interference of classes, but also because it was their chance to compete against each other!

Roy wanting to treat them equally was his issue as a man!

They would compete based on their skills; that was their business as women!

However, amidst the heated argument, the two girls hadn’t noticed that Roy’s gaze had long since drifted away.
