As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

I had a fight with Carl.

This is the first time I've seen this guy get so angry.

It was understandable that he got angry when I said I wanted to travel around the mainland alone.

But I have no choice.

The cultists' pursuit is endless, and I must become stronger.

It is no longer possible for the Lionheart Kingdom and the Magic Academy to have the King's Certificate. If one wants to continue to strengthen the bloodline of the [False King], he can only travel around the continent.

But Carl must have seen what I meant.

That's right, I don't want to drag them down any further. In the worst-case scenario, I'll just end up dead in the wilderness, but that's better than getting them involved.

Whether it's Carl or Rob, perhaps in the future they will become big figures capable of facing cults head-on.

But I can't wait that long.

From that day on, I dreamed every night of them being killed by the cultists.

I won’t let things get to that point.]

At this point, most of the notes have been taken.

Rowling left without saying goodbye, and embarked on a journey with no end, carrying the fate of being hunted by cultists.

Even though they have someone they deeply love, they have to separate from him forever to protect him. How similar is this to the battle where Siegfried faced the evil dragon to protect his beloved princess?

In order to protect the one you love, you give up hope of life and silently face a lonely and cold ending.

The heavy realization made Roy almost suffocate just thinking about it, and he felt extremely unwilling.

What should I do if I encounter a similar situation as Rowling and Siegfried?

Roy shook his head, broke free from his gloomy mood, and turned to the last few pages.

The journey alone was extremely difficult. While wandering outside, she had to deal with the pursuit of the cult, which destroyed her body and mind. In order to protect herself, Rowling had to absorb the certificate of king with hidden dangers, which made things even worse for her.

The records in the notes are sometimes crazy, sometimes confused, and sometimes murderous, but in the end, they all return to bottomless loneliness.

Just looking at the cold words made Roy feel extremely depressed.

However, in this almost desperate situation, she found a glimmer of hope in the East Continent.

【×Month 1st

That is... the real divine power!

No wonder the Church of Holy Light was able to defeat so many evil cults!

I must go to the East Continent!

This trip would probably be quite dangerous, but if it was the church, perhaps it could really end the fate of the [False King]!

Before you leave, go back.

I wonder if Karl will forgive me? 】

This is the last page of the notebook.

Roy knew a little about the story after that from Carl.

Rowling returned and spent a long, peaceful time with Carl, giving birth to the "evil boy Roy." But soon, the cultists became more active than ever, and various natural and man-made disasters plunged Viszea into a period of chaos and darkness.

The Lionheart Kingdom's [Second War Against Dragons] is a microcosm of that dark period.

Carl and Robb, lion-hearted warriors, stood at the forefront of defending their country, while Rowling traveled alone to the East Continent to find a way to end the fate of the "False King."

But when the war ended, the Church of Holy Light brought news of Rowling's death.

She never came back.

Although he had no real blood relationship with the other party, Roy still felt a little sad when he saw that his predecessor and fellow countryman, who had a similar fate, had such an ending.

But this is Rowling's ending.

I am not Rowling, so I may not necessarily follow the same path as her.

Roy will never give up until the last moment.

When Roy rubbed his sore eyes and raised his head, he found that there was a sound sleep coming from the side.

The little maid squinted her eyes, her furry blonde head heaving, as if she was extremely sleepy, but she was still trying hard not to fall down, like a cute tumbler. Roy found it both funny and distressing.

Roy had just gone over and was about to wake her up when the girl finally reached her limit and collapsed into his arms.

Chapter 5 The Forgotten Crisis

"Master is stunned..."

She did not wake up when she bumped into Roy's arms. On the contrary, the girl snuggled into Roy's arms comfortably, as if she had finally found a suitable pillow, and murmured vaguely.

Her light golden eyelashes rose and fell gently, her fair face looked softer than usual, her crystal lips were slightly open and closed, and her sweet sleeping face was endearing no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing that the little maid was sleeping so soundly, how could Roy bear to break her sweet dream.

So Roy stretched out a hand, protected the little sleeper in his arms, and gently laid her down on his bed.

Under the dim candlelight, Alice slept so peacefully.

Roy felt that he could just stare at it like this all night long without getting tired of it.

I wish this peaceful life could continue forever.

But Roy knew that was impossible.

One day, the cultists will hear the news and come, and he may face the same situation as Rowling, and the people he loves will also be dragged into the crazy bloody storm.

What should I do then? Like Rowling, abandon those around me and bear the fate of the "false king" alone?

No, that is ultimately a last resort, just a form of self-abandonment and self-touching.

Just look at Carl.

Perhaps doing so can bring peace to those around you, but what is left to them is endless loneliness and sadness, which is more painful than death.

Just imagining Alice staying at home alone, gazing into the distance, hoping for his impossible return, made Roy feel heartbroken.

No, she shouldn't have to bear it all.

I must never follow Rowling's old path.

Thinking of this, a rare hint of cruelty flashed in Roy's eyes.

Be he a lazy dog ​​or a bad player, Roy really doesn't like fighting, and even less does he like killing.

The good news is that cultists are not considered human in Viszea.

If these cultists insisted on seeking death, Roy wouldn't mind sending these bastards to hell.

Of course, he was not just talking nonsense, but had practical measures.

He had discussed future strategies with Carl before, but according to Rowling's notes, Roy had to make some adjustments of his own and formulate three major plans.

Plan 1: Improve your strength.

Collect the King's Certificate and improve the [Pseudo-King] bloodline, but at the same time, verify whether the source of the King's Certificate is safe to avoid keeping it secret on the spot.

At the same time, the training of [Iron Blood] must not be slack. The most embarrassing thing for Rowling is that her bronze pseudo-bloodline is too weak, so she can only rely on [Pseudo King] to fight for her life, but she is different.

[Iron Blood] is the orthodox bloodline of the Ainblad family. Once it grows up, although it is not as strong as the [False King], it is still a considerable combat force.

Plan 2: Develop power.

Although Roy originally had this plan, Rowling's experience made him more deeply aware of the importance of power.

Two fists can't beat four hands, and a brave man can't stop a ragtag army of clubs. Especially when facing cultists who are like weeds that can't be burned by wildfire, a person's strength is ultimately limited.

Rowling didn't want to hurt the people around her, or perhaps she didn't have enough allies at the time, so she had to bear everything alone.

But I am different.

As the son of a marquis, it is only a matter of time before he inherits the family throne. At the same time, he is also a sworn knight of Princess Lionheart.

The Ainblood family and the Lionheart royal family are both his backers.

So there is no need to rush to develop power, just let nature take its course.

The above two points are the results of my last discussion with Carl.

However, what Roy didn't say at the time was that he had a third plan of his own.

Plan three, cultivate the Saint of Destiny and live off her!

That's right! I have Alice as my trump card!

At the end of "Angel Waltz", Alice completely awakened her angelic bloodline and jumped from an unknown little maid to the destined saint of the Holy Light Church!

It’s not that Roy wants to be a gigolo, it’s just that this bowl of rice is too delicious.

Once Alice becomes the Holy Maiden of Destiny, she will become the top existence in Vizsea in terms of personal strength and power background!

Compared to this, what are cults?

It’s better to say that the Church of Holy Light was founded in the Third Age by killing evil cults. They can be said to be professionals in killing evil cults!

In fact, the notes also mentioned that the Church of Holy Light has extensive knowledge of divine power and is suspected of having a way to end the fate of the [False King].

Therefore, plan three, cultivating the Holy Maiden of Destiny, is Roy's biggest trump card!

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't wait for Alice to grow up.

However, both the King's Certificate and Alice's growth are inseparable from the Central Continent Magic Academy.

As the heart of Viszea, it was home to countless transcendents and resources, making it the most promising place to find the King's Certificate. It was also the true stage for the Angel's Round Dance.

Ok?

Uh-huh? ? ?

Roy suddenly remembered something very important.

Cults are dangerous, but they are not urgent.

The real urgency is something else.

The story of "Angel Rondo" is about to begin, and the ones who are really going to kill you are the destined heroines in the original work!!!

--------

at the same time.

An elf girl in a dark green cloak was holding a wine glass in one hand, bathed in dim light, sitting silently in a corner far away from the hustle and bustle. She was unable to blend in with the joys and sorrows of the adventurers, and looked lonely and melancholy - if she was drinking wine instead of honey water.

Because of this, compared to the aloof adventurer, this elf girl looks like an emo girl in adolescence, which attracts the malicious prying eyes of some adventurers.

As the capital of the Green Council, there is no shortage of beautiful elf girls in the Green Valley.

But she was so beautiful and so different.

Elven women often wear simple, conservative long skirts and wear their hair in almost identical styles. Their personalities can be described as aloof to some, or wooden to others. Seeing them too often can naturally become tiresome.

But this girl is different.

Her lush green hair was tied into a neat side ponytail. Beneath her long, dark green cape, she wore only a leather bra and shorts, showcasing her plump breasts, healthy stomach, and shapely thighs. Above her mid-calf boots, a length of white silk stockings clung tightly to her legs and abdomen, creating an inexplicably sensual image.

Of course, this slightly cool outfit is actually quite common, and many rangers and thieves wear it like this.

But not only that, the girl also has ear tips as tender as bamboo shoots.

She is an elf.

Cool outfits are not uncommon, but it is rare to see a beautiful elf girl with such a perfect figure dressed like this!

The worst thing is that with such a hot body, she has a pure and childish face.

She had the figure of a succubus, the face of an elf—and she hung out in taverns late at night like a silly little human girl. For a filthy adventurer who had been single for thirty years and was still drunk to the point of forgetting himself, she was truly tempting.

"Miss, it's so lonely drinking alone."

"This place is not safe, how about we take you home~"

"If you don't want to go home, how about I take you to have some fun?"

The drunken adventurers could only sigh that the Green Valley was indeed a great place. On their first day, they had found such a wonderful prey.
