I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Paying the Price to Destiny

“Wooow~ Such beautiful hair!”

“And your skin is so fair! You’re not secretly a noble lady, are you?”

In the misty bubbles of a spacious, warm bathroom, the naked Alice was being playfully fussed over by a dog-eared maid on one side and a cat-eared maid on the other.

“I’m just an ordinary person… I could handle this myself…”

Poor Alice had her eyes covered with a towel by the dog-eared girl, while warm water was unceremoniously poured over her head by the cat-eared girl.

“Hey, what’s there to be shy about? I’m Choco, and this is Vanilla; from now on, we’re all sisters working together!” Choco said, proudly patting her ample chest.

“But you’re really lucky. It’s my first time seeing the young master treat a maid this way,” Choco exclaimed with surprise.

The liberated blonde girl brushed the wet hair from her temples and looked up, puzzled. “First time?”

“Isn’t the master usually not this gentle?”

At this, Choco immediately choked on her drink, while Vanilla wore a face of utter disbelief.

“Young master? Gentle? Those are basically opposites!”

Vanilla held Alice’s shoulders seriously and warned, “Alice, don’t be fooled by appearances.”

“The young master is worse than you could imagine.”

“Greedy, lecherous, loves food, and lazy.”

“He has a thing for noblewomen but can never get them. After getting hurt, he returns to punish us lowly maids. Even the old master can’t stand it and specifically sent Sister Anya to supervise him.”

“But…” Alice hesitated.

The Roy they were talking about seemed like a completely different person from what Alice had known.

But can someone she’d only interacted with for less than a night really be so easily understood?

Alice felt lost.

“You should be careful. The young master is treating you well; he must have ulterior motives,” Vanilla said, looking into her eyes solemnly.

Alice blinked, staring blankly. “What could he possibly want from me?”

“Need you even ask? It’s obviously your pretty little face!” Choco whistled, sizing up Alice.

Her golden hair, like the first rays of dawn, and her light blue eyes that sparkled like mountain spring water, made every drop of water sliding down her skin reflect her beauty like angel wings—so delicate and fair.

Despite her petite figure, there was an alluring hint of blossoming innocence.

Even Choco and Vanilla, both women, couldn’t help but marvel at the girl’s beauty.

However, Alice calmly shook her head. “Not possible.”

“I’m not pretty; the master wouldn’t like me.”

Alice had rarely looked in a mirror and never dressed up properly, completely oblivious to her exceptional looks, not realizing that the notorious ‘bad boy Roy’ was after her beauty and spending lavishly for it.

This remark left the cat and dog maids so shocked they could hardly breathe.

Talk about a humblebrag.

“And besides, I’ve heard noble lords usually prefer women with big chests and long legs. There’s no way I fit that description,” Alice continued.

“Don’t be so sure. Some peculiar tastes actually favor smaller girls,” Vanilla said with a knowing look.

“Why else would the young master treat you so well? Remember, on our first day here, we got beaten! The young master must be after your body!” Choco insisted with conviction.

As the two maids recounted Roy’s misdeeds and warned her to be cautious, Alice’s heart began to feel heavier.

She didn’t understand why Roy was so nice to her.

But if what the two maids said was true, then it all made sense.

Though she couldn’t believe the master would be attracted to her plain figure and mediocre looks.

Alice had no real-life experience but had learned from many older girls that a girl’s ‘first time’ is her most valuable asset.

Among them were waitresses from taverns, libertine widows, and even those who had sold her here.

“Just know, the ‘first time’ is the most precious, and it’s our greatest asset as women. We must maximize its value!”

Honestly, even if Roy was truly the scoundrel Choco and Vanilla claimed, Alice had no complaints.

The warmth of protection, delicious meals, including the hot water flowing over her right now—her very life was thanks to Roy.

If the master really expected any return from her, as a maid, the only thing she could offer was her body.

That could be considered ‘maximizing her value’ too…

Naturally.

Naturally… right?

Alice lowered her eyes, clutching her chest, remembering Roy’s gentle smile at the dining table, feeling a pang of bitterness she had never known before.

That fleeting, dreamy happiness gradually became clouded.

——————————————

“Alice is waiting for you in the room.”

Anya stood at the door, seemingly reluctant, and turned back. “Let me confirm one last time; you won’t harm Alice, will you?”

“I assure you.”

“Swear it on your mother’s name.”

“I swear on my mother’s name, if I harm a single finger on Alice tonight, may I be struck by lightning and fall into the underworld!”

With that vow, Roy finally gained Anya’s approval to enter the room.

Now it was just the two of them alone!

Roy barely repressed an eager grin.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan!

In public, he couldn’t overly dote on Alice. But behind the scenes, boosting their affinity wasn’t forbidden, was it?!

Entering the dimly lit room, the soft, yellow candlelight faintly outlined a golden silhouette like a dream.

The girl obediently sat on the bed, glancing back shyly.

“Master?”

At this moment, Alice had changed from her plain white shirt into a spare nightdress from the mansion. The creamy silk draped gently over her, emphasizing her elegance. Her wet golden hair was arranged neatly, looking even more graceful. Underneath the short sleeves and skirt, her originally fair skin glowed with a tempting rosy hue after her bath.

Like a golden iris after the rain, beautiful, pure, and dreamy, evoking a sense of love and a reluctance to defile…

Pah, I’m not here to defile!

Noticing Alice’s delicate knees trembling slightly in the dark, Roy’s gaze fell even lower than before, understanding her unease.

After all, she was still a girl; being alone with an older man made her uncomfortable.

There were hardly any references for this kind of scene in the original story, but Roy was neither emotionally clueless nor a typical average guy.

He just didn’t want to waste a rare opportunity to boost his affection.

He consciously kept a distance from Alice, reluctantly diverting his gaze from her: “So, how’s the environment here? Not bad, right?”

Alice nodded slightly. “Yeah. There’s good food, hot water, and a soft bed…”

For Alice, everything in this moment felt as delightful as a dream she could wake from at any time.

That’s why she felt increasingly anxious.

Destiny’s gifts were marked with their price; how could an ordinary maid like her ever receive so many blessings?

It was time to pay the price to destiny.
