I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 471

Chapter 17: Tonight, the Master Belongs to Me

To Roy, Alice’s request to share a bed was just a reflection of her wanting to imitate Charlotte and the others after seeing them.

Just like that night when he first encountered Alice, keeping her company when she felt insecure.

This time, it was just to ease her loneliness.

Roy viewed Alice as a child with no ulterior motives.

However, at this moment, he realized he had been thinking too simply.

Watching the girl climb onto his bed in her usual chiffon nightgown, looking like a cute little animal, Roy’s heart raced like never before.

This child had grown up.

Her light golden hair that used to sit loosely on her shoulders now seemed fuller in the roomy nightgown. Her pale skin looked even more supple and enchanting than before.

Most importantly, her gaze was no longer empty and cold like it used to be; instead, it was filled with tenderness, resembling a clear lake under white clouds.

Compared to the naive heroine from the original story, to the indifferent maid he first met, Alice had really changed a lot.

While he felt quite accomplished, it also embarrassed Roy a bit.

From the outside, she didn’t seem to be a child anymore.

Thinking it through, Alice was only a year or two younger than him; it was just that her petite frame, resulting from malnutrition, and her innocent nature made her seem like a little sister.

And being stared at by Roy made Alice’s heart flutter as well.

Sleeping side by side with her master felt like a beautiful dream.

“Should we, um, sleep now?”

“Yeah.”

To avoid showing too much agitation, Roy hurriedly blew out the candle, lay down silently, and forced himself to sleep quickly so he wouldn’t get any wild thoughts about the girl beside him.

But then, Alice’s voice floated into his ear.

“Master, is this all there is?”

“What do you mean ‘this all’?”

After a moment’s thought, Alice whispered, “I also want what you do with Charlotte and the others every night.”

It was rare to sleep with her master.

Just as Vanilla had said, she wanted to try being a bit more proactive.

Roy shot up wide awake and felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.

No way, that sort of thing isn’t allowed!

Charlotte and the others allowing Alice to sleep with him was already an act of kindness; if he actually went that far, it would be a disaster!

Besides, he and Alice had a pure master-servant relationship!

Yet, seeing the little maid’s eyes fluttering with unspoken words, Roy found it hard to just ignore her.

He had no choice but to do what he usually did, ruffle the girl’s hair, and sweetly say, “Is this what you mean?”

The head patting.

No matter how upset the little maid was, this move would make her obedient right away, revealing a look of satisfaction.

But this time, Alice closed her eyes in enjoyment, yet didn’t seem satisfied. She leaned into his hand and, with a hint of dissatisfaction, said, “Is this all?”

With those misty, pitiful eyes staring at him, Roy felt as if something invisible had struck him, causing his heart to race.

Even though he had encouraged her to be a bit more spoiled, this was a bit too much!

He usually gave her head pats, so perhaps a bit more pampering today wouldn’t hurt?

So, he let his hand slide down to the small maid’s soft cheek and gently rubbed it.

The unexpected gesture made the girl shudder slightly, letting out a soft “mhm,” her cheeks warming up, but she didn’t dislike it.

Instead, she closed her eyes, indulging in Roy’s caress, her expression akin to that of a lost puppy, feeling secure.

The touch was different from merely patting her head; the direct skin contact made Alice nervous yet unable to pull away, feeling Roy’s breath and warmth even more.

Seeing the girl on the verge of melting away, Roy found himself unable to suppress a smile.

Who would have thought the future Destined Saintess would look so adorable?

Even if Alice was being this proactive today, if just a cheek rub could make her so happy, he could definitely keep it going.

In fact, he even wanted to continue touching her cheek, watching that flawless face grow softer in his palm.

“Do you want more?”

“Um, well, let’s keep the petting to just this for now…”

Alice murmured, a bit shy.

If he kept going, she might lose her composure.

That was tempting, but tonight, she still had one last thing she wanted to do.

Alice turned to the boy beside her, her heart racing as she asked, “Master, what you do with Charlotte and the others isn’t just this, right?”

Roy’s brain began to heat up: “What do you mean?”

“I mean, the things you do with them every night. I don’t know the details, but I always hear what sounds like really happy noises at night.” As she spoke, Alice felt her own cheeks flush.

“Is it, kissing?”

Roy’s face turned red too.

Damn, next time he needs to tell them to keep it down; otherwise, Alice will pick up bad habits! This isn’t good for a child’s education!

“That kind of thing…”

That kind of thing is still too early for you.

Roy wanted to brush it off, but Alice spoke up before he could.

“Is that not allowed for me?”

Her weak inquiry felt like delicate petals swaying in the evening wind.

Her gentle hands clutched her chest tightly.

With quivering eyes as if on the verge of tears, Roy instinctively felt he couldn’t just refuse her.

He had told her to be more spoiled, so he should spoil her until she was satisfied.

So, Roy leaned in a bit, tucked her golden hair behind her ear, and gently planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“…Just a bit more.”

Roy was puzzled about what more the little maid could want, but suddenly she lifted her face and gently pressed her lips to his cheek.

Finally relaxing, she looked like a child who had just received candy, exuding a sweet atmosphere.

Seeing this, Roy couldn’t help but smile.

“Well, goodnight then?”

“Yeah, goodnight, Master.”

In the darkness, Alice’s eyes didn’t shut; she gazed softly at Roy.

To be precise, she was staring at his lips.

Actually, that was Alice’s original target.

Yet, when the moment arrived, she wasn’t nearly as calm as she pretended to be; she was a mix of nervous and flustered.

Even if her master said tonight she could not see him as her master, he was still her master after all.

No matter how she looked at it, that would be too forward…

In this way, she could only settle for second best.

But even so, she was already satisfied.

Tonight, the master belonged to her. Tonight, the master was staring at her. Looking at Alice, not just as a maid, but as her true self.

Even if it was just for tonight, it was more than enough.

Under the hazy moonlight, the Blonde Girl nestled in the Black-Haired Boy’s embrace, burying her head in his chest, a slight smile of satisfaction gracing her lips.

Outside the room.

Despite having listened for a while without hearing much noise, the three girls dared not leave, anxiously enduring the entire night.
