I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 684

Chapter 66: The End of the Tool Man

The usually obedient little maid directly opposed his opinion for the first time.

Roy had considered that Alice might rebel and even thought it was a good thing that she had her own ideas and was no longer bound by her maid status.

But he didn’t expect the little one, even without her maid identity, was still so adamant about protecting herself.

That really left him with no way to counter her!

After all, he had to respect Alice’s personal wishes.

Rubbing his forehead, Roy sighed helplessly, but a warm feeling started to swell in his heart.

He really didn’t know if he had raised her well or spoiled her.

Alice, that kid, always seemed to put herself first no matter the situation.

“I get your point, retracting what I said. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Alice’s expression lit up: “Master…”

Even though her determination to protect Roy would not waver even if scolded or disliked, getting his acknowledgment was still better.

“But on that note, I feel the same way.”

“Huh?”

Roy placed a hand on the girl’s shoulder, gazing at her delicate face, no longer so innocent, and said gently, “Before becoming a maid or Saint candidate, you’re just a girl.”

“As a girl, you should cherish yourself a bit more, right?”

“……?!”

Alice was stunned for a full three seconds before processing what he meant, her previously calm heart suddenly turbulent, causing her to shiver.

“Master, do you mean…?”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s about being a master or a Saint guard. Just like you want to protect me, I want to protect you, Alice.”

Roy asked, “If I got hurt, it would definitely upset you, right?”

“Of course!” Just imagining that scenario made Alice’s heart ache.

“Exactly! If you were hurt, I’d feel the same way.” Roy smiled knowingly.

Roy leaned down, gently pressing his forehead against the girl’s.

At such a close distance, their breaths mingling, the blue and black eyes were entranced by each other’s faces, and the young man softly said, “So, promise me, take good care of yourself and don’t get hurt again, okay?”

So he had been watching over her all this time.

He actually cared for her.

Neither a maid nor a Saint candidate, she realized that in his heart, she was a girl worth protecting.

The suppressed feelings surged, her heart racing so fast it seemed ready to burst.

How could she possibly refuse this…

If opposing Roy’s orders was Alice’s utmost resistance, facing his tender request made her weak all over, unable to resist at all.

The evening glow crept across the girl’s face, and in the end, she lightly nodded, her voice as soft as a whisper: “Mm.”

“Alice promises you.”

Roy then happily ruffled her cheeks: “Great.”

“Of course, I understand your feelings.”

“So from now on, whoever is stronger gets to be in front, and the other isn’t allowed to object. For now, since my bloodline level is higher, you just need to obediently hide behind me.”

“Mm!”

Already lost in the depths of the young man’s dark eyes, Alice responded lightly, burying her head in his chest.

Letting the colors of the evening glow blush her cheeks.

Only, neither of them realized that they were not alone in the world.

The knights and mages on guard, as well as the captured assassin, looking at the two affectionately nestled amidst the wreckage, couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Seriously, do you guys have no sense of urgency?!

This is a scene of assassination, not your cozy love nest. Can you respect our profession a little?!

One mage couldn’t help but speak up: “Lady Teresa, isn’t their relationship a bit too…”

“Lady Teresa?”

The person turned and realized that the Holy Nun had mysteriously vanished.

————————

In a dark alley.

Twisted shadows raced by at a speed that ordinary people couldn’t possibly notice.

Damn it!

The Chameleon covered the charred wound on his shoulder, his eyes almost breaking with anger.

The information provided by the Eastern Continent was completely unreliable!

Sequence 6 Iron Blood? Damn it, Iron Blood playing with fire?!

With his agile movements, he hadn’t even been directly hit, just grazed, and had lost half his life.

With just one strike, the Chameleon realized he was definitely outmatched and didn’t dare stay any longer.

Moreover, to have sensed his murderous intent in such a critical moment and respond immediately—let’s be honest, a noble brat wouldn’t be able to manage that, even a seasoned knight could struggle!

This not only required training from life-and-death experiences but was a common quality for top extraordinary beings.

But that Saint guard seemed more like a high-ranking official with rich assassination experience, completely unflappable!

You’re not a prince or princess, how could an ordinary person have experienced so many assassination attempts?!

Ridiculous!

Regardless, the assassination had failed.

But it was just the first one.

Hatred and anxiety didn’t erase his determination.

The Chameleon was no rookie; he had plenty of assassination experiences, and this attempt was merely the beginning.

However, just as he was about to flee deeper into the alley, a holy light slowly emerged.

A graceful woman in a snow-white nun’s robe stood there, radiating a divine glow that dispelled the shadows of the alley.

It was as if as long as she was there, it was a sanctuary emanating peace and serenity.

However, the Chameleon turned pale.

Not only because the holy light suppressed his bloodline powers, revealing his true form.

But because he was way too familiar with the person in front of him.

One of the Six Heroes who saved the world, the true ruler of the White Harbor Church, a high-ranking extraordinary being, the Holy Nun Teresa!

Also the terrifying presence he had barely escaped from after desperately fighting for his life!

“You, why are you here?”

Teresa propped her chin, not answering directly but instead sighed, “Sigh, actually, I have you to thank.”

“Appropriate crises and tension, just like seasoning, can highlight the sweetness between young couples even more.”

“Too bad I have to deal with you, so I can’t witness this sweetness firsthand.”

The Chameleon widened his eyes: “You… were present at that time?!”

In that moment, he seriously wanted to dig up the ancestor’s grave of that client.

Damn it, how could you not mention there was a high-ranking extraordinary being overseeing such an important matter? Are you trying to kill Alice or me?!

From the start, he had no chance of success!

“Wait, wait a minute…!”

“No wait.”

Teresa exuded maternal warmth, smiling softly, but her hand was merciless as it came down.

“Young man, once the sweetness is over, you have no more value to use, you know?”

The holy light burst forth.

The wall of light fell like a meteor.

Even with the Chameleon fleeing at top speed, he was still engulfed by the vast holy light, completely crushed by the broad wall of light.

After doing all this, Teresa immediately faked a stern face, stooped shoulders, and without any nun-like demeanor, bit her fingertip.

“Sigh, I can’t watch them be sweet together; it really is a bit of a regret…”
