I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 679

Chapter 60: Tomorrow Will Be Different

Night.

Just after finishing her bath, the comfortable blonde girl, having Roy dry her damp hair, suddenly snapped out of her blissful daze.

Oh no, she almost forgot!

She promised herself to make some progress today; she couldn’t just be satisfied with these little sweet moments anymore!

After the tea party in the afternoon, guided by the advice of several love veterans, Alice realized that this wouldn’t do.

If she wanted to be Roy’s girl, she had to take the initiative!

“Here, a toy. It’s about time to sleep, right?”

“Mm~”

Alice took the little dog plushie with a light response, then crawled into bed with Roy.

Her master’s scent was as comforting as ever.

With that, Alice sweetly closed her eyes—

Then suddenly jolted them wide open in alarm.

Close call! Almost fell for it again!

Alice, you can’t keep being so complacent and stagnant!

Scolding her easily satisfied heart, Alice mustered her courage and turned to face Roy.

According to the advice of several wise dames, the best way to win over a man’s heart is through a date.

And the first step to a date is the invitation.

Suppressing her nervousness, Alice asked in a casual tone, “Master, can I go with you on the parade tomorrow?”

Roy glanced at her in surprise: “Sure.”

Was this really worth asking about?

“I see.”

Alice mumbled softly.

He agreed.

A good start is half the success!

The first step was a success! Rounding off, she’d already captured her master’s heart!

In the dim light, the little maid appeared expressionless, but inside she was bouncing with joy, hugging the plushie to cover most of her face.

Her light blue eyes sparkled brighter than the stars, yet softer than mountain springs, twinkling with a hint of expectation.

“Tomorrow, I can go out with my master.”

“It’s not like it’s the first time, is it necessary to be this excited?”

It’s just going out together. Look how giddy the kid is!

Roy thought it was amusing, but then suddenly realized that this seemed to be Alice’s first time actively inviting him out.

Hearing this, Alice shook her head: “Tomorrow will be different.”

“Different?”

“Tomorrow is…”

Tomorrow is a date.

Not a master with a maid, but simply a date between a girl and a boy, an important step to capturing her master’s heart!

Just thinking about it made Alice’s chest warm up, and in the end, she couldn’t say it out loud. She turned away quickly, her voice slightly off-key: “Anyway, tomorrow is special!”

As if she remembered something, Alice turned back and added, “Master, goodnight.”

When Roy returned her goodnight, she turned back again, ending their conversation.

Tomorrow is special?

The saint’s parade isn’t really anything unique. It’s just the candidates for sainthood strolling around the streets, promoting their image and attracting public admiration.

In fact, Roy had already taken her to quite a few in the past couple of days.

But going out alone and giving speeches can be pretty exhausting and boring too.

Well, maybe the little maid just wanted someone to keep her company.

Since Alice took the rare initiative to invite him, it was only right to accompany her!

Roy affectionately brushed through the girl’s soft golden hair, smiling indulgently.

Little did he realize, his anticipation was just as strong as that of the blonde girl.

——————

The next day, dressed in the holy attire prepared by the church, Roy and Alice set off early with a bunch of monks for their mission.

Two snow-white horses with spread wings pulled a beautifully crafted carriage adorned with golden and silver designs, based on holy white stones. Beside the carriage were handsome monks and graceful nuns, with armored knights forming an outer circle.

The two steeds were extraordinary beings from Sequence 7, legendary horses said to carry only the purest of souls — the pure white heavenly steeds. Even the seemingly high-value monks and nuns, and the knight brigade outside, were elite extraordinary beings from the White Harbor Church. The exquisite carriage was engraved with sacred enchantments, strong enough to rival fortress walls, and could even withstand a blow from a mid-tier extraordinary being.

As the candidates for sainthood went out, the display couldn’t be lacking, and neither could the security be overlooked.

Extraordinary mounts carrying divine blood, a protective force made up of over a hundred extraordinary beings, and ultra-high-standard defensive enchantments rivaled, if not exceeded, those of royal parades.

Of course, during the saint candidates’ parades in the Eastern Continent, the pomp wouldn’t be much less.

But when it came to popularity, no one could compare with Alice.

“The knight guard from White Harbor… that’s Lady Alice! Our Lady Alice!”

As soon as the procession hit the streets, it caused a commotion.

Along the roadsides, fervent cheers and humble, reverent prayers filled the air.

There were five candidates for sainthood, but ever since bathing in the miraculous petals, the people of White Harbor only believed Alice could be their saint.

At the carriage window, Alice gave a little wave, and the cheers soared even higher.

After traveling a short distance, the crowd began to thin, and Alice finally sighed in relief.

“Who knew, Alice would become so popular.” Alice felt quite conflicted.

Having her status raised was a good thing, but dealing with the public took away precious time with Roy, which was a headache.

She could somewhat understand why Charlotte and the others constantly complained about work being busy.

Roy couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry: “You must be really tired having to handle so many people every day?”

“It’s fine. As long as I can help my master, this much…”

Just as Alice was about to finish, an unexpected thought from yesterday flashed through her mind.

“A girl should be reserved! As they say, play hard to get. To pursue a man, you can’t be too accommodating; being the opposite is what makes men crave more!” by some flat-chested princess.

As a newcomer in love, Alice maintained a humble heart.

After all, Charlotte and the others had indeed captivated their master, listening to them couldn’t go wrong!

Thinking that, Alice deliberately turned her head away, speaking in a chilly, stiff tone: “Hmph, Alice isn’t doing this just for the master; I just want to be a saint! I don’t need my master to care about me!”

Every time Charlotte did this, it would hook the master into soft whispers. Then she would shyly snuggle up, mission accomplished!

Come on, Alice was ready!

Alice clenched her fists, full of eagerness.

However, after waiting for ages, there was no response. When she turned around, she found a certain black-haired boy cowering in the corner with a wounded expression.

“Haha, Alice, you’ve grown up, huh? No longer needing my concern… isn’t that nice…”

Roy rambled, his eyes dull, becoming a fish floundering without dreams.

“Master?! Alice didn’t mean that!”

“Alice needs your care the most! Without your concern, I couldn’t go on!”

The little maid flustered, trying to explain, even bit her tongue, and finally managed to clear the misunderstanding, bringing the light back to Roy’s eyes.

It was just then that Teresa, sitting across from them, couldn’t hold back her laughter: “You two have quite the relationship, huh?”
