Chapter 141: The Beginning of the Journey
“To save the master, to see the master, to bring the master back.”
“To bring back the master that belongs to me.”
But…
That kind of Alice would definitely go against the master’s orders and not be a good girl.
In the end, Alice still lowered her gaze, her breath faint: “Sorry, as a maid, I shouldn’t go against the master’s orders.”
“You…!” An exasperated Charlotte grabbed the little maid’s face and started rubbing it, causing Alice to whimper.
But just then, Nia patted Charlotte’s shoulder.
“Let me handle the persuasion.”
“You? What can you possibly…?!”
Once Charlotte let go, Nia handed a book to Alice’s arms.
The elven girl smiled, but her eyes revealed heaviness.
“If possible, I also don’t want to do this, but Alice, we all have to face reality.”
Alice looked at the book in her hands, her eyes widening slightly.
The title of the book was “The Gray Maid.”
——————————————
The azure sky stretched endlessly, with soft clouds sailing across like seabirds.
A refreshing sea breeze and the cheerful laughter of young girls filled the air.
Under the sunshade, Roy lounged lazily on a deck chair, stretching widely, then picking up a chilled tropical fruit drink from a small table beside him, enjoying a delightful sip.
Just two words: comfortable.
This trip, Leanna pulled some strings and specifically rented the top-level private yacht, 【White Raven】, from the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce, capable of accommodating over a hundred passengers.
Thanks to some simple extraordinary items, even though this world’s technology development was unbalanced, it was still far superior to Roy’s medieval past.
Just like the magical candles that burned for days without extinguishing, this wooden yacht was far more complex than it appeared.
The wooden deck featured a massive swimming pool, along with an outdoor bar and BBQ area; apart from lacking electronic devices and having a rather ancient style, it was almost indistinguishable from the vacation cruises of Roy’s previous life.
They set off from the river port of the Academy City and traveled to White Port on the eastern side of Weiszeta. It was one of the largest ports in Weiszeta.
After sailing for several days from White Port, they had just entered the waters of the South Sea Kingdom.
As soon as they entered the South Sea Kingdom, Roy felt a noticeable ease in his body.
Just a few days ago, he couldn’t even get out of bed; now he was enjoying the sun.
This wasn’t just because of the damp southern climate, the pleasant sea breeze, and the warm morning sun. It was also due to the strong water attribute extraordinary aura here, calming the restless power of the Sea Emperor within him, giving him a strangely comforting feeling of being home.
I have to say, this trip was indeed a wise decision.
Too bad, this beautiful scenery was only for me to enjoy alone.
If there’s another chance, I should invite Charlotte and the others…
Roy, basking in the sunlight, felt a bit drowsy, but just then, a stunning sight in the distance caught his eye, like the clear sea breeze swept away his fatigue, causing him to open his eyes wide.
There was an endless stretch of azure sea with even more fascinating hues.
A brown-haired girl strolled over, clad in a brown swimsuit that perfectly showcased the impressive figure she usually concealed under her dress.
Sunlight shimmered off her smooth shoulders and collarbone, and a gentle breeze lifted her waist-length skirt, accentuating her long, perfect legs.
Beneath her round sunhat was her usual maturity and charm.
A glance from her purple eyes made the beauty of the horizon seem dull in comparison.
The girl stepped in black strap sandals, gracefully sitting on the other deck chair beside Roy, leisurely stretching out and crossing her beautiful legs.
With the curves overlapping, a delicate foot encased in sandals slipped free, dangling precariously on her slender toes.
Roy had no idea where to look, feeling like every move she made radiated an overwhelming charm.
Leanna’s skin wasn’t as delicate as Charlotte’s, nor did her body have Nia’s voluptuousness, but her proportions were harmonious, with long legs and just the right amount of fullness up front.
And when the mature senior raised her eyebrows and shot him a teasing smile, even Roy couldn’t help but feel flustered.
“Turns out you’re a boy after all; your eyes have been wandering since just now.”
Roy forcefully pulled his gaze away, waving dismissively: “Haha, you’re thinking too much. I was just being polite.”
“I’ve seen plenty of that level.”
“Is that so? But the words from your mouth don’t match how your body reacts…” Leanna covered her mouth, glancing down, trying to suppress a laugh.
This left Roy utterly shocked.
Staring at a girl’s swimsuit and getting dazed is embarrassing; staring and reacting is social death!
My entire reputation ruined in an instant!
Roy quickly squeezed his legs together, feeling incredibly awkward.
But he soon realized he didn’t accidentally misfire; instead, Leanna was laughing even more, and he realized he’d been duped again.
“Just kidding! You’re not that kind of little pervert, right? Or was there a moment when you really felt a bit moved?”
“You…!” Roy shot her an angry glare, annoyed: “Even if I were moved, it wouldn’t be so rude, right?!”
“I’m fed up with you! All you think about is harassment; I can’t believe you’re still the student council president!” Roy muttered to himself, rolling over to avoid seeing her.
Ever since this trip began, this wicked woman seemed to be getting bolder by the day?!
But to be fair, Leanna’s figure was indeed top-notch.
Those models and celebrities from my past life? They couldn’t hold a candle to her!
Roy dared not think further, afraid he’d lose control and really face social death in front of Leanna.
Meanwhile, Leanna picked up a drink, taking small sips with a hint of lament.
“It’s just that no one has complimented me even once…”
Roy perked up: “Did you say something?”
“Ah, I was asking if you’re feeling better now?”
“Not too bad.” Roy clenched his fist, feeling noticeably better, his vitality returning, and the extraordinary power inside him was becoming more active.
Most importantly, the dizziness had decreased significantly. While he still couldn’t engage in strenuous activities, at least he wasn’t bound to the bed all day like before.
The South Sea Kingdom’s effects on the Sea Emperor’s side effects were even more effective than he expected.
“I estimate that by the time we reach our destination, I’ll be almost fully recovered.”
Leanna blinked, her lashes fluttering like a startled butterfly, but her voice remained calm: “That said, there’s no need to rush.”
“We’ve rarely gone out; let’s relax a bit more. After all, you’ve helped me so much; this trip is just a small token of appreciation.”
“Mm? Of course; I really want to go play by the sea.”
Roy responded while feeling something was off.
Leanna seemed quite invested in this trip.
