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

But they had no idea that as soon as they left, a carriage with a flaming lion printed on it slowly drove over.

As soon as the carriage heard the news, the red-haired girl jumped down impatiently and pushed open the door excitedly with an expectation that was difficult to conceal.

"Roy, are you free now..."

Looking at the empty room, Her Royal Highness's smile suddenly froze.

------

As soon as she entered the noble area, Nia couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Compared to the civilian area, this place is simply another world.

Fresh and delicate flowers, elegant statues, and one mansion and villa after another, all of different styles but all very grand and luxurious, stand here, perfectly presenting the luxury of the nobility.

The houses in the Emerald Court are quite simple in style. To put it bluntly, they are just tree houses and tree holes. Where had Nia ever seen such a scene?

But for Roy and Alice who were going to Sunset Red Castle, these buildings were nothing.

Come in from the aristocratic area and walk straight ahead, and you will see the most conspicuous golden mansion.

That is Douglas's residence, Sands Mansion.

The three of them walked into the mansion, and were instantly blinded by the golden light.

The house design in the Kingdom of Sands is not special, but the decoration is very unique.

In one word, gold.

The walls, floors, lamps, picture frames, everything was inlaid with a light golden hue, gleaming to the extreme. Even the waiters and maids employed in the mansion wore uniforms embellished with gilded gold, projecting a sense of extravagance and inhumanity.

When we arrived at the restaurant on the second floor of the mansion, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

The people standing in the two rows were not waiters, but senior students one after another. Although they were unarmed, they exuded an invisible and heavy extraordinary fluctuation.

No matter how you look at it, this isn't as simple as just having a meal.

"By the way, is it really okay for us to just go to someone else's territory like this?" Nia couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"The master has his own considerations." Alice was very calm.

"I hope so." Nia's tone was a little subtle.

Roy is not a bad boy, nor is he even a scumbag.

But he was just a freshman after all, and Nia couldn't imagine how he would compete with the leader of one of the three major forces in the academy on his own turf.

Just thinking about it gave Nia a stomachache. But if anything really happened, she couldn't just leave them to die, so she gritted her teeth and followed.

I hope Roy really has some solution.

Douglas, the leader, came forward, his handsome face adorned with a majestic smile, and extended his hand: "Welcome, Mr. Roy."

Although he was smiling, the Sequence 7 level supernatural fluctuations emanating from him were like a scorching wind, making Nia feel vaguely uncomfortable.

"Good evening, Senior Douglas." Roy responded lightly and walked forward to shake hands with Douglas naturally.

The prince of the Kingdom of Golden Sands narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a moment of surprise.

He didn't call him "Your Highness" but "Senior", which meant that the other party regarded him as an equal classmate and planned to resolve each other's problems within the academy.

Moreover, he remained calm when facing his own pressure, unlike an ordinary Sequence 8, and even less like a freshman who had just enrolled.

I originally thought that the person arguing with Yana was an incompetent young man, but now it seems that things are a bit interesting.

Chapter 42 You Don’t Deserve It

Roy and his group were led to their seats by Douglas.

Yana, with a playful look on her face, sat opposite them.

Alice was fine, maintaining her usual conversational expression, but Nia glared at Yana with a smile, engaging in an eye exchange.

As soon as they sat down, there was a sense of tension between the two sides.

Until Douglas spoke.

"Mr. Roy, I won't be polite."

"You must also know my cousin Yana Shanik, your maid Alice, and your..."

Roy calmly added on his behalf, "Friend."

Douglas nodded slightly: "And your friend."

"There seems to be some misunderstanding between them, but we are classmates and both people of status, so there is no need for violence. Instead, we can resolve the issue in a civilized manner."

Roy nodded slightly: "I strongly agree."

Nia, however, crossed her long white legs and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Although she was the daughter of the chief of the Green Council and the one with the highest status among the people present, she could not stand the rhetoric used among the nobles, so she could not help in this situation.

In her opinion, Douglas said he would not use force, but he gathered so many extraordinary people and did not restrain his aura. He was extremely hypocritical.

Yana, who had anticipated this outcome, was delighted: "As long as Mr. Roy agrees."

"Let me help you review what happened."

"I originally wanted to make friends with Alice, but I was met with her unprovoked anger, and even Nia's anger, so I had no choice but to retaliate. I hope you two can sincerely apologize and give me an explanation."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nia became furious.

Nia didn't care about her words and glared at Yana directly: "Hey, you're just saying that in front of so many people? It was obviously you who bullied Alice first, and you have the audacity to say that!"

The blonde woman waved her small fan and gave a forced smile. "You said I bullied Alice, but who saw it? I have six witnesses who can prove my story."

Nia was stunned.

What six witnesses? They are obviously your six bootlickers!

You can't confuse right and wrong like this, right?!

The elf girl huffed out a breath, struggling to maintain a tight smile on her face.

"Okay, even if you have a witness, what about you coming to my dorm to cause trouble?"

Yana blinked and pretended not to know: "What are you talking about?"

"Still quibbling? Your people broke into my dormitory last night and planned to smash it up. If I hadn't returned in time, who knows what you would have done!" Nia's voice suddenly rose in anger.

It would have been fine if he was targeting her, but he actually wanted to attack her best friend.

Nia hates this kind of despicable tactics that implicate others the most.

But Yana narrowed her eyes again and said leisurely, "That's a pity."

"But this matter has nothing to do with me. Those people are not from the Kingdom of Golden Sands, and I have no personal relationship with them. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it out."

Nia paused, unable to think of how to respond. In the end, she could only angrily say, "It was obviously you who instructed them to do it!"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe they just can't stand some people meddling in their affairs." Yana smiled coldly.

"You... forget it. It's useless to talk to a shameless ugly woman like you." Nia stopped arguing halfway through her words and instead cast a contemptuous look.

The smile on Yana's face disappeared: "Bitch, who are you calling ugly?!"

"Whoever responds gets to say it~"

Yana's face twisted: "You!"

Nia pointed at the opposite side and squinted her eyes and laughed: "Yo yo yo, so anxious!"

Yana, who has been confusing right and wrong, cheating and bullying others for many years, is even worse than him.

But when it comes to quarreling, Nia, who has been hanging out in the adventurer's tavern since childhood, is far superior to her.

"Yana, that's enough."

"Nia, let's just stop here first."

Seeing Yana's face becoming darker and darker, she unconsciously released extraordinary fluctuations. Douglas beside her sighed helplessly, and then she restrained the somewhat chaotic extraordinary aura.

Nia was initially a little unhappy with Roy's intervention, but then she felt a touch on her fingertips. Glancing down, she saw Roy giving her a thumbs-up, expressing his approval. Her mood suddenly brightened.

After a period of panting and heaving, Yana finally calmed down. She looked at Roy and the others, grinned, and said, "I'll just say it straight."

"I demand that Alice and Nia apologize to me in front of the whole class."

"Also, I want Roy to have dinner with me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Alice and Nia's faces darkened.

Given Yana's reputation as a bad girl, it's not difficult to guess what the so-called "dinner together" really means.

This has touched Alice's sore spot.

The blonde girl suddenly cast a murderous look at Yana's face.

The sharpness that was more piercing than a sword actually made Yana, who was in the same sequence, tremble, shrink, and lean back unconsciously.

She just felt like a sheep being targeted by a hound!

Sequence 8, but this murderous aura is quite strong.

Douglas was secretly startled and frowned slightly.

The two rows of Digital Sequence 8s present simultaneously released their auras to suppress her, but Alice ignored them and continued to stare at Yana.

Until Roy secretly pinched Alice's palm under the table.

The girl's heart trembled, as if a switch was pressed, her eyes finally relaxed, and she turned back into a well-behaved and obedient little maid.

After witnessing this scene, a group of Jinsha students, including Douglas, found it unbelievable.

But now it was Nia's turn to be unable to sit still.

"You must be joking! Don't even think about it!" Nia vehemently refused at first, then looked back at Roy nervously: "Roy, let's not talk about this for now. You have to protect yourself."

In the eyes of the pure and conservative descendants of the elves, chastity is more important than life, regardless of gender. Even though Nia's personality is an outlier among the descendants of the elves, in this respect, she is no different from her compatriots.

This was exactly why she had a bad attitude when she misunderstood Roy as a scumbag, and it was also the reason why she could not tolerate Roy being defiled now.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in this kind of woman." Roy comforted her, which made Nia feel a little relieved.

Yana's face twitched when she heard this, and she laughed in anger: "Oh, do you think you have a chance to refuse?"

Faced with Yana's undisguised greed and contempt, the black-haired boy shook his head helplessly.

"That's about it for the opening remarks."

"what?"

"Yana Shanik, do you really think that stupid, vulgar, and disrespectful speech is worthy of this peace negotiation? If you continue to speak, it will simply tarnish the reputation of all of us present here."

Roy ignored the livid-faced woman opposite him and turned to look at Douglas.

"Senior, it's almost time to get down to business."

Chapter 43: The Loser

Roy leaned back comfortably in his chair, his tone leisurely, "Senior Douglas, you're a smart person. I believe you understand what kind of person Yana Shanik is, without me having to tell you."

"What did you say?!"

Roy ignored Yana's questioning and continued, "The evidence is irrelevant. I believe you know that Alice and Nia are most likely innocent. This is just another trouble Yana has created for you."

"As a prince of a country and the head of a faction, you have a mountain of things to deal with, but you have to be implicated by your cousin. I actually sympathize with you, senior."

Roy's words came from the bottom of his heart.

In the original work, Douglas was dragged down by Yana and had to clean up her mess again and again. It would be strange if Douglas didn't feel tired.

Douglas couldn't help but open his eyes wide, feeling like crying.

What this kid said really touched his heart.

Not only Douglas, but all the guards secretly exchanged glances and expressed their deep agreement.

If it weren't for Yana's trouble, they would be practicing, sleeping, or dating. Why would they need to waste their time here?

Roy completely shifted the blame for this incident from Alice and Nia to Yana.

Noticing the strange atmosphere, Yana couldn't help but feel anxious.
