I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 787

Chapter 169: The Golden Moment

Alice seldom felt fear.

No matter how formidable the enemy or how painful the wounds, she always wore a blank expression, gritting her teeth and enduring it all in silence.

Only when it came to matters concerning herself did she show vulnerability, like a child about to lose something precious.

Everything happening now reminded Roy of their initial encounter.

At that time, Alice was also filled with fear over the uncertain future and dark possibilities, yet she had to force herself to pretend to be calm.

This was understandable.

Arriving at a strange noble family, anyone would feel uneasy in the face of such heavy reality, especially a fragile girl.

But things were different now.

No longer enduring, she let her anxiety flow freely, trembling in her body.

Like a shivering puppy in the cold night.

Fear was justifiable, and anxiety was also natural.

Yet now she had someone to rely on, someone who could share her feelings, someone to accompany her.

Just like back then, Roy gently stroked her head, using tenderness to dissolve her fear.

But unlike before, his hand slid down from her head to cradle the delicate curve of her face.

What he was offering was more than just tenderness.

Because that anxious girl wasn’t the so-called protagonist of a story, nor just a lovable maid.

“Alice wouldn’t give up so easily, right?”

Alice’s gaze turned firm: “Of course.”

“But if you’re tired sometimes, it’s okay to take a break and say some discouraging things.”

Having faced the divine being, Roy understood that the overwhelming terror he felt was a pressure that ordinary people could hardly bear.

“It’s okay even if you really lose.”

“Huh?”

The first rays of morning light illuminated the boy’s face, along with those shining eyes.

Under Alice’s astonished gaze, Roy calmly yet resolutely declared: “No matter how many times it takes, I will save you.”

“Not even a god can take my angel away.”

“Master…”

The girl stopped trembling.

In its place was a thumping heartbeat, clear sparkling eyes, and a face brushed with innocent crimson by the morning light.

Their hands intertwined as Alice allowed him to cradle her cheek, like an iris swaying in the golden morning breeze, falling into the boy’s arms.

Dawn broke, awakening the life of the city.

White doves spread their wings, newsboys rushed into the streets, shadows of passersby began to flow, and the waking city spoke of simple beauties.

Morning bathed the tranquil church in golden sanctity.

In this golden moment, the youthful couple, bathed in the morning light, kissed, marking the most beautiful imprint of body and soul.

After the kiss parted.

Alice, shy and hesitant, clung tightly to the boy’s body.

How could Roy not be enchanted by such an adorable sight?

But just as Roy was about to indulge in the fragrance of irises and reciprocate Alice’s warmth, he suddenly heard a sour and heavy groan from behind.

“Well, someone’s in good spirits, getting up early to be lovey-dovey.”

Roy jumped in surprise.

Only then did he realize that four girls were lined up behind him.

“You, when did you all…”

Leanna pretended to be sad and lowered her head: “Sorry, did we disturb you?”

Nia put on a loving expression, cupping her face and pouting: “Not even a god can take my angel away.”

What the heck!

Didn’t they arrive from the very beginning?! So you were secretly eavesdropping the whole time!

Roy wished he could find a hole to hide in after hearing those embarrassing lines spoken back to him.

Meanwhile, the little maid had already turned crimson with embarrassment and buried herself into his arms, completely softening.

“Tsk tsk, you’re so brave for a girl, risking even the gods! It makes your dear knight here a bit fluttery.” Nia teased with a raised eyebrow, unable to suppress her laughter.

“Not just Alice.”

Roy looked at the four girls in front of him, suppressing his embarrassment, and said seriously: “I will protect all of you.”

All four were taken aback.

Nia scratched her cheek, her ears slightly trembling, breaking into a sweet smile.

Leanna lost her usual playfulness, seeming to reflect on the meaning behind the boy’s words.

Xue Nuo held her chest, appearing no different from usual, but there was an unprecedented sparkle in her ice-blue eyes.

Meanwhile, the red-haired princess blushed, her mouth curling up, but she suppressed it, put her hands on her hips, and turned her head away, haughtily.

“Don’t think you can just say nice things and make us go away!”

Roy chuckled: “Then what does Your Highness want?”

“Actions speak louder than words; that’s how a gentleman proves his sincerity, right?”

Charlotte’s arrogance vanished in an instant, then lifted her chin as she stepped forward, striking a cute cat-like pose, asking for affection.

Before she could get close, the elven girl leaped past her like a little bird.

But this time, Charlotte had prepared, suddenly pouncing from behind to wrap her arms around her waist.

A bird could never match a lion in strength.

“Hey!”

“Hey what? Don’t think you can sneak up on me this time…?!”

As the two argued back and forth, the curly-haired sorceress gracefully approached them.

As if tasting wine, she elegantly and seductively seized the boy’s lips before their eyes.

Charlotte and Nia were both stunned, then simultaneously erupted in rage: “Leanna?! *2”

“What’s wrong?” Leanna blinked innocently, giving a charming smile: “Didn’t you say to prove sincerity through action?”

“Who can we blame if you all just took your sweet time?”

Charlotte fiercely gripped Nia’s shoulder, almost tearing her apart: “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I would have…”

“That’s what I should be saying!” Nia pinned her head down, nearly in tears: “If you didn’t butt in, I would have succeeded by now!”

The two pushed and shoved each other as they made their way towards Roy.

Then came the silver-haired girl.

She stepped in first, like a dominant silver wolf, only to transform into an icy blue rose the moment their lips touched, generously bestowing the unreachable beauty upon the boy.

Then Xue Nuo wrapped her arm around the boy’s, glancing back: “Only children fight over who goes first.”

What the hell! Then why are you competing?!

The continuous sweet kisses felt intoxicating, almost making Roy dizzy.

Seeing him completely lost in their fragrance, Nia was nearly in tears.

“Take your hands off him, flat-chest!”

“Not gonna happen!”

Charlotte’s eyes were also red, looking sorrowful, but she clung even tighter this time: “Now that it’s come to this, even if I can’t be first, I won’t be last!”

“Can you at least act like a human?! Are you trying to screw me over?!”

The warm morning sun, the fresh gentle breeze, and the girls’ lively bickering painted everything in soft gold.

This mundane yet beautiful scene filled Roy with genuine happiness, and without realizing it, he smiled, lost in this golden moment.
