I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 682

Chapter 63: Not a Big Deal, Just a Hug

The air crackled with energy.

The Blonde Girl was sent flying ten meters by a single punch, half-kneeling on the ground, using her sword as a crutch just to stabilize herself.

How could a knight who effortlessly defeated several Sequence 7 candidates be pushed back by a single strike?!

After a brief moment of shock, everyone erupted into applause.

“Lord Roy is amazing!”

“Sequence 6 truly lives up to its name!”

“No wonder he’s our Holy Guardian of White Harbor!”

Roy flexed his wrist, projected his sword blade once again, and gazed at the defiant Alice, a swell of affection rising in his heart.

The child has grown up; she’s learned to compete in front of others, which is why she’s being even more serious than usual.

If that’s the case, why not humor her a bit?

Realizing Alice was going all out and was no longer holding back, Roy quickly adjusted his perspective.

Perhaps Alice wasn’t trying to elevate herself; instead, she wanted to showcase her strength as a Holy Candidate!

It would be too fake for Sequence 6 to deliberately lose to Sequence 7, but pretending to be evenly matched, claiming they were equals, and then praising Alice for her incredible skills could raise her profile, right?

Don’t worry, Alice, I can feel your passion! Let’s have a good match today!

Thus, Alice faced a grueling confrontation.

No matter what abilities she used—boosting speed, enhancing strength, amplifying Holy Light—she was always a step behind Roy.

The Angel bloodline was indeed extraordinary, yet Alice was only Sequence 7. Facing a dual bloodline Sequence 6 while being up against various benefits enjoyed by the False King, no matter what technique she used, Roy always had a stronger answer to counter her.

Holy Light, Dragon Flames, Blood Qi, and Blade Light intermingled, resulting in a rapid-fire duel that left the onlookers astonished and breathless.

Even an ordinary Sequence 6 wouldn’t hold up against Alice’s fierce onslaught. The fact that Roy dominated her with ease spoke volumes about his unfathomable strength.

However, the more they fought, the more despair Alice felt.

Her master was usually so gentle, sometimes even letting her win a round or two on purpose.

Why was he so fiery today?!

After a furious exchange, she hadn’t managed to land a single blow.

At last, she gripped her sword tightly and unleashed a full-force strike, finally managing to achieve a stalemate with Roy.

As their blinding white swords clashed, both of them staggered back.

However, Roy managed to regain his footing after several steps, while Alice was sent tumbling backward by the recoil.

Covered in dust and panting, the little maid stared blankly at the sky above, utterly speechless.

Absolutely exhausted and feeling dispirited.

Poor little maid finally grasped the harshness of the world; it turned out that even in love, strength mattered.

If she couldn’t win in a fight, how could she push him around? She couldn’t be domineering at all!

“Teacher! Your advice is no good at all!”

Amidst the cheers, Roy wiped the sweat from his brow, genuinely amazed by the little maid’s impressive performance.

A couple of times, he almost fell to Alice, but for the sake of the Holy Guardian’s reputation, he managed to persevere.

Fortunately, everything went according to plan. The knights acknowledged his strength as a guardian and felt that Alice’s ability to withstand a fight against Sequence 6 was exceptional.

Maintaining both of their faces in such a situation was a complete win-win!

With that thought, Roy strolled over to Alice, who lay sprawled on the ground, and extended his hand.

“Not bad at all! There were several times I almost thought I was going to lose!”

“……”

Alice received a heavy blow, her lips twitching in response.

In the end, she still couldn’t push down her master.

If it were Teacher Xue Nuo, she would surely have cornered him against the wall by now.

Feeling a bit sour, Alice grasped Roy’s hand with a listless expression.

“Why do you look so down?”

“Ah, Alice isn’t…”

“Don’t tell me you’re hurt somewhere?”

With Roy looking on with concern, the surrounding knights also grew restless. Alice wanted to speak up and tell them she was fine.

But in that moment, the instinct of being a girl kicked in.

Forget about the tips Charlotte and the other love seniors had taught her; the girl, who failed to get what she wanted, instinctively wanted to curl into Roy’s embrace.

By the time she realized it, the words had slipped out.

“Well, it seems I hurt my foot…”

“?!”

“Let me take a look!”

Roy’s expression changed drastically as he felt a wave of shame, quickly reaching to help her take off her shoe to assess her injury.

Alice hurriedly pulled back her legs: “No need! It’s probably not serious. I just can’t walk, so… so…”

With her head lowered, Alice delivered the clumsy excuse in a flat tone: “So, I might need you to carry me.”

“If it’s just a light injury, shouldn’t you be able to heal it with Holy Light?”

“This injury isn’t actually light. Alice has exhausted her strength and has no surplus Holy Light left.”

Alice, who usually didn’t believe in goddesses, suddenly became devout at that moment.

Not serious, but can’t walk?

Not light, yet doesn’t want treatment?

What’s wrong with this ‘injury’… is it injured or isn’t it?

After the initial chaos, Roy carefully sensed Alice’s aura.

Along with her clumsy explanation, he finally caught a whiff of suspicion.

The little maid was currently clutching onto his sleeve tightly.

“So, do I just have to carry you back, then?”

“Exactly.”

Roy smiled helplessly, then gently scooped up her slender waist, lifting her into his arms.

Throughout the whole process, Alice made no effort to resist.

Even though she had just battled against several knights and almost overwhelmed Roy several times, she now resembled a compliant little lamb.

But the little maid’s calm exterior was far from her inner turmoil.

Unlike the last time in the Kingdom of Gold Sands, this time, Roy didn’t employ his aura of tranquility.

In broad daylight, carried like a princess in Roy’s embrace, Alice was a bundle of mixed feelings—excited and shy, her expression calm while her legs were tensed, and her hands tightly gripping Roy’s clothes.

Roy surveyed the surroundings: “Everyone, I’m at fault here. Looks like Alice has sustained some injuries, so please don’t laugh.”

“As a guardian, it’s my duty to escort Lady Alice home.”

The knights exchanged glances, wishing they were at Sequence 6 to join in. Otherwise, they would’ve been lucky to escort the Holy Candidate, for the angelic guardian might just have been them.

However, after seeing Roy dominate Alice, rather than jealousy, most could only sigh helplessly.

On the other side, a group of monks felt a bit anxious.

The Holy Candidate was a precious treasure; any minor mishaps would be a loss not just for White Harbor, but for the entire mundane world!

“Lady Alice is injured! Medical unit! Medical unit…”

Teresa waved her hand dismissively: “No need for that.”

“That child is still Sequence 7; don’t underestimate her. Moreover…”

A joyful arc lightly curved Teresa’s lips.

At her age, she certainly could see through the thoughts of young people.

“Besides, with such an exceptional guardian taking care of her, there’s really no need for your worry.”

They’re just showing off their love; don’t go playing the third wheel!

Several monks wanted to speak but seeing the once-cold expression of the Blonde Girl soften into a gentle calm, her cute figure cuddled up in the boy’s arms, they felt as if they were healed by the beautiful atmosphere of holiness, and ultimately didn’t intervene.
