I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 579

Chapter 127: Speed is of the Essence, Losers Eat Dirt

That said, Roy wasn’t going to let surprise overwhelm him.

If this was a dream without logic, he might’ve lost it right there and pulled the silver-haired lady into bed for some cuddling.

But everything felt so real, he couldn’t afford to make any rash moves.

Especially with the silver-haired lady in front of him, who seemed close yet had an air of subtle distance.

She greeted him every morning and night, yet they hadn’t even held hands since the day he woke up.

This only confirmed to Roy that they weren’t intimate enough to roll in the sheets.

Extraordinary bloodline, Veszyra… even if he didn’t quite grasp those things yet, one thing was clear, Roy had to figure it out.

“Miss Xue Nuo, may I ask again, who exactly are you?”

“I am from the Andewis family…”

Just as the girl was about to explain, Roy looked into her eyes and interrupted, “No, I mean, what do you mean to me?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Nuo fell into a long silence.

Mentor, friend… battlefield comrade.

From different angles, she had multiple answers, but whichever it was, there was a clear boundary between them; it wasn’t what she wanted.

As a mentor, she could spoil her student in myriad ways, but having inappropriate thoughts was a absolute no-go.

If Roy knew about her feelings for him, he would definitely be disappointed, right? Or even disgusted?

Her hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously gripped her dress tighter, and Xue Nuo felt her heart racing, unable to meet the boy’s clear gaze.

Unless…

Seeing the other side remain silent, it was actually Roy who got flustered first.

Oh crap, did I step on a landmine?

Could it be that I misunderstood? The three great illusions of life? Between her and me, was there really nothing worth mentioning?!

“Ah haha, I thought you were someone really close to me! If I said something wrong, let me apologize first…”

“No need to apologize!”

The girl suddenly raised her head and grasped his hand.

Her ice-blue eyes gleamed with determination as she spoke clearly, “We are indeed very close!”

She had suddenly gotten so close that he could see her snow-like eyelashes, her porcelain skin, delicate features, and the tender feelings reflected in her blue eyes.

“Well, what exactly does that mean…?”

Facing the boy’s question, Xue Nuo finally made up her mind.

If my memories were restored, you’d definitely hate me. As your mentor, I shouldn’t get involved between you and them.

We were never meant to be.

But just during this period of your amnesia, let me be a little selfish and experience another possibility.

Hehe, even if it means deceiving you, I don’t want to let go. I really don’t deserve to be your mentor…

Thinking like this, under the boy’s tense gaze, Xue Nuo smiled gently, revealing a touch of shyness and expectation: “Actually, I am your lover.”

——————————

Walking along a tree-lined path bathed in morning light, the two girls strolled side by side.

The blonde maid noticed Charlotte couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Charlotte seems very happy today.”

“Really?”

“Yep. Because you’re about to see your master, right?”

“I-I’m not that excited or anything…”

Charlotte waved her hand, trying her best to put on an authoritative and somewhat aloof expression, maintaining the dignity of a princess.

But Alice knew that once she saw Roy, that face would soften in less than three seconds, letting him take the lead.

The little maid’s seemingly all-knowing gaze embarrassed Charlotte.

She poked Alice’s cheek and retorted, “Don’t talk about me, you’re the same!”

Compared to Charlotte’s awkwardness, Alice was much more straightforward, not hiding at all: “As a maid, it’s only natural to be filled with joy at the thought of meeting my master, right?”

“Yours truly…”

To be honest, as a princess, Charlotte had seen hundreds of maids, but none compared to Alice’s feelings for Roy.

Not to mention, she knew Alice wasn’t just harboring simple master-servant feelings, right?

However, Charlotte ultimately didn’t point it out.

The possessiveness of girls made her unwilling to aid a rival, while her fondness for Alice prevented her from obstructing her.

Of course, when that day did arrive, Charlotte believed it wouldn’t just be herself; Nia and Leanna wouldn’t oppose the pair either, but until then, she wouldn’t deliberately help speed up their progress.

Little maid, better work hard on your own.

“Well, since we arrived early this semester, before formal classes start, Roy belongs only to the two of us. Just enjoy it!”

“Yep!”

That’s right, Veszyra’s winter break lasted more than three months, and with just half a month left until classes officially began, the two girls had come to the academy early.

They had been tirelessly fighting against the beast disaster on the border, all for today, to occupy Roy before Nia and Leanna could!

But Alice always had this guilty feeling: “By the way, isn’t it a bit wrong for us to sneak in like this…?”

“What’s wrong with it? If anything, blame them for being so slow!” Charlotte scoffed, coldly: “In the game of love, speed is of the essence, losers eat dirt!”

As they passed through the little path, the familiar small wooden house finally came into view.

Eager Charlotte quickened her pace and proudly pushed the door open.

“Roy, long time no see~”

“Well, I finished things on the border without a hitch, and since I had some free time during the break, I came a bit early. Hmph, to have me deign to accompany you, you really haven’t downsized your knightly pride at all…?”

However, just as she was halfway through her sentence, Charlotte’s expression froze.

Because inside the house, two others had already arrived, watching her performance with the bemusement of an audience.

“Tsk.”

Like being overwhelmed by cloyingly sweet honey wine or disgustingly bitter black coffee, the red-haired princess’s face changed in an instant.

Nia, munching on fries, teased: “Sorry, the one here to greet you isn’t your beloved knight~”

Next to her, Leanna, sipping coffee, wore a comically amused expression: “Uh-huh, the little kitty has come to throw a fit, but too bad your knight is busy, can’t give you any rewards.”

Those two bastards!

Weren’t they both busy? Why did they arrive at school so early?!

Charlotte gritted her teeth, frustrated that her plans had been dashed.

She couldn’t take it anymore, she wanted to see Roy right now, immediately, ASAP!

Meanwhile, the little maid also entered the house, and after politely greeting the two, she quickly noticed that there were no shoes belonging to Roy by the entrance.

“Is Master not here?”

The moment she spoke, Nia and Leanna lost their smiles.

Nia picked up a note left on the coffee table, explaining: “Actually, it’s like this…”

Roy had intentionally left a message about going to the empire’s border, to avoid unexpected delays in his trip.

Hearing Nia’s explanation, Charlotte couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

Hmph, weren’t you two the same? Came so early only to find that nobody was home?!

Neither of them scored anything, so let’s not mock each other!

But she quickly noticed something.

“The empire’s border? Mentor? Xue Nuo Andewis? When did she become Roy’s mentor?!”

Charlotte suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
