I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 594

Chapter 142: Good Sisters

It wasn’t until Charlotte and Nia left that the Silver-Haired Girl finally relaxed her tense body, leaning back in her chair and letting out a weary sigh.

“That ‘Lionheart Princess’ and the head mage from the Black Magic Academy…” The old Count recalled their earlier presence and couldn’t help but frown and bitterly smile. “I know you mentioned that Mr. Roy has a thing for unusual women, but this is pushing it a bit far.”

Charlotte, stepping into Sequence 6 in her first year, had recently quelled the Dragon Rebellion at the border.

And Leanna, who had just earned accolades in the ambush against the purple magic academy, now held dual titles as head mage of both the Black and Purple Magic Academies.

If those girls got feisty, it wouldn’t be a mere palace intrigue; it could unleash a bloodbath sweeping half the continent.

Honestly, even when Winter proposed to Xue Nuo, the old Count felt less tense than he did now.

“Hmph, if things really go haywire, our little white wolf won’t shy away. After all, they’re just two Sequence 6s,” Brittany boosted Xue Nuo’s spirits from the sidelines.

But Xue Nuo knew this was mere pep talk.

What made those two a real headache wasn’t their talent, but their influence as a princess and a head mage.

Within the Academy, she still had her teacher’s authority to lean on.

Facing the might of the only military might that could rival the Winter Empire and the organization holding the West Continent’s most abundant supernatural resources, Xue Nuo also felt her head spinning.

It was just that those two were still green and couldn’t fully call the shots, allowing her, as the already empowered border lord, to have the upper hand.

Thinking about their potential accomplishments, Xue Nuo couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

In comparison, wasn’t it a bit embarrassing to be outshone by them?

At least if she could just get through tonight, they wouldn’t likely tear each other apart this soon…

With a tea cup in hand, she took a sip, trying to suppress her woes when suddenly two figures burst in, a golden-haired little maid trailing behind them.

They rushed in, panting, eyes wide, sweating profusely, completely losing the majesty they held earlier, yet radiating intense hostility.

So it’s about to hit the fan already?

Xue Nuo’s heart sank as she prepared to face the music, but Charlotte’s opening line wasn’t a declaration of war.

“Wait, wait, we’re not here to cause you trouble!”

While Charlotte caught her breath, an equally flustered Leanna exclaimed, “It’s Roy, he’s in danger!”

Hearing this, Xue Nuo couldn’t keep calm anymore. She shot up from her chair, seriousness flooding her face. “What’s going on?”

The red-haired princess’s eyes burned like fire as she gritted her teeth, “We have a traitor among us!”

——————————

Expressing feelings with a loved one should be a beautiful thing.

Yet right now, Roy felt entirely devoid of romance, sprawled on the bed like a salted fish, his eyes wide as saucers.

Fleeting memories were starting to come into focus, all those moments shared with Xue Nuo pieced together neatly.

But earlier memories remained shrouded in a haze.

And yet, Roy could recall being involved with more than one girl, each one extraordinary in her own right—not someone he could just brush off with a few sweet nothings.

The most agonizing part was that if he couldn’t remember, he wouldn’t have any psychological burden. But if he could, at least he could come up with strategies to negotiate with those girls.

Now he was stuck in limbo—if he wanted to draw on previous experiences to persuade them to include Xue Nuo, he couldn’t remember a damned thing!

What if he misread their tempers and said the wrong thing? That would definitely be a recipe for disaster!

The occasional supernatural fluctuations reverberated like thunder in his ears, sending beads of sweat trickling down his back, making it impossible to sleep.

He could only pray that Teacher Xue Nuo would be strong enough to buy him some breathing room…

Fortunately, the supernatural waves soon ebbed, avoiding a bloody melee.

As expected of Teacher Xue Nuo, she was truly unfazed!

Just as Roy felt a weight lift off him and finally cracked a smile, a rustling noise came from outside the window.

An assassin?!

For some reason, Roy’s first instinct was that he was being targeted.

Cautiously, he opened the window and peered down, only to find nothing but darkness, letting out a sigh of relief.

Come on, the lord’s mansion is over twenty meters high, the walls are as bare as can be, not to mention the guards on night watch—it’s pitch black out with a snowstorm blowing! Even a gecko couldn’t climb up here!

Roy chuckled, shutting the window.

But the next second, an embrace swooped in from behind—one hand locked onto his arm and another covered his mouth.

What the?! There really is an assassin!

Just in the blink of time it took him to look down, this sneak had crept up on him without a sound!?

If his memory was intact, he wouldn’t be so powerless.

But right now, he was just a guy with vague recollections, unable to wield his supernatural abilities properly, and his mind went blank under sudden attack.

Until a voice drifted past his ear, mixed with the scent of jasmine.

“Don’t panic, it’s me.”

“I’ll let go in a sec, but don’t scream, okay?”

Like being comforted by a familiar and lovely melody, Roy instinctively relaxed.

Seeing Roy stop resisting, the elven girl finally released him and jumped in front of him.

What came into view was a graceful figure, elegant as a nightingale.

Her sweet face donned soft bedhead, her emerald eyes filled with radiant beauty, and her turquoise side ponytail complemented her delicate, pointed ears, painting a picture of youthful vigor and dreamy allure—like every boy’s first crush and the stuff of every bard’s ballad about elves.

“You, you are…”

“Oh please, don’t tell me you can’t remember—I’d be hurt,” the girl teased, raising a finger to his lips, pretending to be melancholy, before breaking into a sweet smile, “Let me give you a hint.”

“My name is Nia Molly, your most adorable girlfriend. Now, does it ring a bell?”

“Nia Molly…” Repeating that name, Roy’s heart inexplicably raced.

He had such a sweet elf girlfriend?! Is this even possible?!

“That’s right. And being your girlfriend is pretty important too.” Noticing the nostalgia in Roy’s eyes, Nia’s smile broadened, her dimples becoming more pronounced.

Teaming up to win Roy back? Hilarious!

Nia could practically guess what that flat-chested princess was thinking!

She just wanted to play the main wife and monopolize him upfront? Please, why should she listen to her?

As for Leanna, she usually wore that senior demeanor, being intolerably arrogant.

But now that Roy has some new girl, she’s in a tizzy—what a riot! So pathetic!

As the saying goes, the capable work harder—if you’re all so amazing, you can deal with that tricky Teacher Xue Nuo.

After all, you are too busy to take care of it yourself, so as a good sister, I’ll look after Roy for you~
