I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 487

Chapter 34: Backstab!

“Would you like some milk, Alice?”

“I want to drink… Ah, Master, I’ll pour it myself.”

“Isn’t it okay for me to do this little thing? Be obedient.”

“Well… then I’ll trouble you, Master.”

“And here, eat some more. If you don’t eat enough, you won’t grow big.”

“Mm-mm, the food here is really good. You should eat more too, Master.”

Under the warm yellow glow of the lights, the Black-Haired Boy grinned widely, pouring water and serving food, taking care of his blonde little maid meticulously. At first, she was a bit shy, but as if transformed into melted cotton candy, she radiated a soft and sweet atmosphere, turning around to care for her Master in return.

In contrast, three girls appeared to have been bleached of color, turning into a snowy gray in a silence that enveloped them.

You couldn’t compare yourself to someone who wasn’t part of the game.

Alice and Roy hadn’t reached that point yet. In other words, she wasn’t included under the “equal treatment” convention.

This meant that regardless of what Roy did to her, the three couldn’t say much, only watch with longing eyes!

Although this restaurant had a good reputation, watching this pair of master and maid exchange sweet glances, Charlotte and the others found their meal completely bland.

Not that they were against it, but this guy was spoiling that girl way too much!

The more Charlotte thought about it, the angrier she got, and she finally couldn’t hold back. She discreetly kicked Roy under the table with her small, black-stockinged foot wrapped in her little shoes.

Roy looked up at the Princess, who seemed to be glaring and looking down at him, her face a mix of annoyance and grievance, and he understood instantly.

Jealous, huh?

Can you believe it, even the little maid is making her jealous?

Feeling helpless, Roy could only stop what he was doing and look at the red-haired princess.

In front of the girl lay a plate of steak, which had barely been touched.

“Why aren’t you eating? The food here is pretty good, you know?”

Charlotte glanced at the food on her plate and snorted lightly, “It’s just okay.”

After witnessing the show put on by the master and maid, Charlotte could only taste the bitterness of lemon.

Until the boy revealed a helpless smile, cut a piece of steak of proper size, and presented it to her.

“I get it, I get it. Now do you want to eat it?”

“I-I didn’t want to…”

Charlotte stared intently at the steak in front of her, swallowed hard, yet still restrained by her rationality, refrained from any action.

What a joke.

Nobility has to be modest and elegant!

Well, doing it privately is one thing, but in a semi-open private room with so many people watching, it would be too embarrassing…

Charlotte originally wanted to decline, but seeing the two girls beside her, their eyes practically shooting fire with jealousy, she changed her mind on the spot.

“Not going to eat?”

“Who said I wasn’t going to eat?”

The red-haired princess tossed her beautiful hair, leaned forward slightly, her mouth opening slightly like cat ears, accepting the boy’s offering.

Although her charming face turned a lovely strawberry red, she still wore a victorious smile.

Now someone couldn’t sit still.

“Roy, which tastes better?” Nia suddenly spoke up.

“They all taste pretty good,” Roy said, a little confused, smirking, “What, do you want some too?”

“No, no, no, it’s not that I want some, it’s that I want to give you some,” Nia replied cheerfully, waving her hand.

She adeptly cut a piece of steak, then brought it in front of Roy, leaning forward and glancing sideways just like Charlotte had done earlier.

“Want to try mine?”

“Aren’t we ordering the same dish…?”

Roy grimaced, just about to reach out, when his gaze halted.

Despite the similar actions, Nia’s chest was a few sizes larger than Charlotte’s, big, white, and soft, truly eye-catching.

Noticing the boy’s gaze, Nia’s smile grew even more obvious, pretending to scold him, “Oh, you wouldn’t be thinking of wanting something else, would you?”

“Don’t sully my reputation!”

Roy hurriedly took a big bite of the steak.

The elven girl not only didn’t pull back, but even supported her chin and leaned in a little more, that creamy softness nearly spilling out.

At the same time, her smile was sweet and pure like a warm breeze, “Is it good?”

“…Pretty good.”

“Ha ha, he blushed!”

The elven girl laughed joyfully, the sound echoing like silver bells.

Having tasted such sweetness, Leanna, who had been left out, certainly wouldn’t remain silent.

“Junior, after eating for so long, are you thirsty? How about trying mine?”

Leanna directly handed her wine cup over.

The red wine was as blood, crystal clear.

“Not bad.”

After a simple taste, Roy returned the cup.

He was somewhat surprised that the most mischievous girl wasn’t pulling any tricks, just simply letting him taste the wine.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the wine cup back, the brown-haired girl elegantly and boldly planted a kiss right where he had just drunk.

Casting a flirtatious glance, she then drank the wine in one gulp, her tongue sliding over her lips, looking unsatisfied, her expression seductive.

“I don’t know why, but it feels even better than before~”

Roy covered his burning face, “…As long as you’re happy.”

The three girls each tasted the sweetness, and this meal finally became lively.

After a few rounds of drinking, the group inevitably started some casual chatting.

“By the way, did you settle your grade retention issue? Isn’t there still the final practical?” Charlotte asked.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already earned quite a few credits with remedial classes and written exams. As long as I pass the practical, it won’t be a problem.” Roy paused and added, “However, regarding the mentor for next semester, I won’t let my guard down either.”

The final term of the first year is the last chance for mentors to scout for apprentices.

Doing well this time would greatly affect the mentors’ judgments.

Of course, personally speaking, as long as they aren’t irresponsible people like Envy, Roy doesn’t have much to pick about his mentors.

Given his status, he’s not afraid of mentors intentionally making things difficult; if anything, he might still have to wait in line to curry favor.

The issue lies in potential dangers within the academy.

The Cassandra family was under siege from the association, and the insider issues within the Mage Association were already resolved.

In fact, the recent eradication of cultists in Academy City had basically come to an end.

Without insider support, cultists found it difficult to infiltrate the academy, and even if they managed to sneak in, they couldn’t act freely.

However, the reason “All Things Wither” could gain the upper hand in the Trial of Blue was not solely because of the insiders from the association.

Cultists still held some trump cards within the academy, deeply hiding, and haven’t been caught to this day.

Moreover, just like Diabolus, even if someone is linked to the cult, the insider themselves may not be a cultist. This compounded the already difficult investigation, reducing the clues further; otherwise, the church could have easily illuminated all the teachers with the Holy Light to expose the insiders long ago.

Since then, the insider from the association had made no moves, and the current investigation could be said to be at a standstill.

Roy wasn’t afraid of bullying from mentors; he feared that the mentor would be an insider, which would be like a sheep entering the tiger’s den, impossible to defend against—apprentices would often need to go out alone with their mentors.

Thus, it’s better to get a good score in the final practical so that he will have more options when choosing a mentor and reduce the probability of being targeted by an insider.

“Do you have any mentors in mind now?” Nia asked, noshing on some fries, showing a playful smile. “Is there a pretty sister that catches your eye?”

Roy rolled his eyes at her, “Stop tainting the pure student-teacher relationship with your dirty thoughts, alright? I’m here to learn, not to flirt with female teachers!”

Charlotte muttered under her breath, “I hope so.”

At that moment, the little maid Alice suddenly chimed in.

“Well, speaking of female teachers, you seem to get along quite well with Teacher Xue Nuo, Master.”

As soon as she said that, the air instantly grew quiet.
