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

Facing Lisa's surprised gaze, Alice covered her chest and said softly, "Master, you are a special existence to me."

"Everyone says the master is a bad person and a waste."

"But my master feeds me delicious food and provides me with warm shelter, but he never asks for anything from me."

"He also said that he wanted to become a better person and turn over a new leaf for my sake, so..."

"The master is a good man!"

The girl's clear eyes were full of single-mindedness and no confusion at all.

Chapter 18 isn’t it???

The sky gradually darkened and dusk fell.

On the return carriage ride, Charlotte remained silent.

Her mind was filled with Roy's elegant smile and lonely back.

Reason told her that she couldn't be with a good-for-nothing young man.

But the constant pain in her chest made her unable to stop fantasizing.

After a long time, the girl, holding her cheeks, sighed softly at the sunset outside the window.

"It would be great if that guy could mend his ways."

"Huh?" Lisa on the side widened her eyes.

Since leaving the Marquis's Mansion, Lisa has never dared to say a word to disturb Charlotte, as she has never been as sad as she is now.

Only then did Lisa carefully ask, "Your Highness, don't you know?"

"I know, I know everything." Charlotte closed her eyes, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

"Um, I mean Master Roy's reformation."

Charlotte turned her head abruptly and snorted in annoyance, "I already told you I know he's a good-for-nothing!"

Only after the words fell did Charlotte come to her senses.

"Wait, what did you just say?!"

"I asked that legendary blonde girl about it." Lisa recalled the scene and said with emotion, "Master Roy has turned over a new leaf."

"Now, he neither beats nor scolds his servants, nor oppresses the common people. He is also very caring towards Alice and has not done anything inappropriate."

Lisa couldn't help but sigh at this. Although she was the one who said that people change, she had never expected Roy to change so drastically.

With more than thirty years of life experience, Elisa could easily see that Alice's words were true.

"By the way, Your Highness, what do you think of him?"

Charlotte lowered her head and didn't reply.

If all this was true, why didn't he tell me then?!

Are you afraid that you won’t believe it?

The boy's bitter smile appeared in front of Charlotte, breaking her heart.

Yes, that must be the case.

Like the protagonist in a knight novel, that guy is too gentle.

I think I am not worthy of the other person, so I am willing to protect him silently.

Roy Ironblad had never considered the possibility that he would accept him!

"This idiot."

"Idiot?" Lisa was confused.

"Turn around now and go back immediately... Never mind, I'll go on my own!"

"Your Highness?!"

Without waiting for Lisa to stop her, Charlotte pushed open the door, jumped out of the carriage, untied the straps that bound the griffin in two or three moves, and stepped on it.

The anger, joy, relief, and indescribable throbbing that surged in her chest, she wanted to convey all of this to Roy.

Can't wait even a second.

"Your Highness, wait...!"

"Roar!"

At the princess's instruction, the golden-red griffin was no longer lazy, but suddenly spread its wings and took off into the sky.

----------------

"Tsk, he even used his connections to requisition our castle, and in the end, he was still dumped by the princess?"

"That's normal, right? How could a man possibly catch the eye of the Lion Flame Princess?"

"Shh, keep your voice down..."

Such gossip was everywhere in Sunwind City. From the nobles to the maids, everyone was laughing at Roy's failure.

However, Roy himself was sitting in the lounge of the lord's mansion, leisurely opening a bottle of champagne.

Everything is going as planned!

Roy did not hide his weakness at all, so as not to make things worse and annoy Charlotte.

To her, I am nothing more than a boring, useless young villain. She has no interest in me anymore, right?

From now on, the two of them are on parallel lines, and he no longer has to worry about being killed suddenly by the [Lion Flame Princess].

Congratulations, Coca-Cola.

"Master, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you." But the little maid next to him didn't think so. She bent down and lowered her head, looking very apologetic.

"Don't be like this, you did a good job." Roy rubbed the girl's furry short hair helplessly.

Alice raised her head, still unable to let go: "But, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't stay for dinner."

According to the aristocratic etiquette of the Lionheart Kingdom, if the blind date goes well, there should be a dinner party. If the woman leaves early, it means she is very dissatisfied with the man.

Men who cannot get women to attend dinner parties are often ridiculed by the entire upper class.

But Roy is very open-minded.

Anyway, Charlotte has never given a good face to any blind date so far, so it’s not too embarrassing for her.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not worthy of His Highness anyway. This blind date is just a formality."

Roy said soothingly, then took a sip of champagne.

Outside the window was a dusk that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The majestic lord's mansion, bathed in the twilight, also seemed inexplicably desolate and lonely.

Until a striking red color emerged from the end of dusk.

"puff!"

Roy spit out a mouthful of champagne on the spot.

"Why......"

Why is Charlotte Reinhart back?!

He was riding a gale griffin, with his eyes wide open and his hair flying, looking ferocious!

No matter how you look at it, he's here to seek revenge, right?!

But I shouldn't have annoyed her, right?

Roy was puzzled and even wondered if there was some so-called world coercive force.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the griffin had already landed at the foot of the city!

"Roy Ironblad, come out!"

A loud call echoed in the sunset.

The princess's act of naming and shattering Roy's last fantasy.

In desperation, Roy had to bite the bullet and go to the lord's mansion to greet Charlotte.

The journey of just a few minutes gave Roy the feeling of going to the execution ground.

The maids, housekeepers, and even nobles in the lord's mansion all came to the windows and doors, watching Roy's embarrassment with an attitude of watching the fun.

After all, it's not uncommon for a man to be scolded away by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but it's extremely rare for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come back and scold him a second time.

"Your Highness, why are you back again?"

Charlotte ignored Roy's greetings, her beautiful eyebrows raised in a serious look. The princess pointed at Roy and said sternly, "Roy Ironblad, you never intended to take this blind date seriously from the beginning, did you?! Are you looking down on me?!"

Roy was puzzled: "Because I am not worthy of His Highness, isn't this blind date just a formality?"

"So that's why I said that, are you looking down on me?!"

Charlotte questioned a second time.

"Why didn't you tell me you'd reformed?"

Roy was stunned.

why?

Of course, it’s because—

"Because you're a huge idiot!"

"You thought I wouldn't believe you and laugh at you like those guys in the castle are doing now! You thought I wouldn't give you any chance and always treat you as a useless villain! You thought you were not good enough for me, it was all just what you thought!"

Faced with Charlotte's scolding, Roy was a little confused.

"Isn't it?"

Chapter 19 Agreement

"You are wrong, absolutely wrong!"

Once she opened her mouth, the emotions boiling in Charlotte's chest could no longer be stopped.

The young man in front of her clearly liked her, but he only satisfied her with a face-to-face tea party and then let her go.

Just like the knight in the knight novel who left because he thought he was not worthy of the princess.

She always thought the princesses in knight novels were stupid.

The knight clearly loves the princess so much, with such humble love that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the princess's happiness. But the princess inexplicably wants to throw herself into the prince's arms.

She is not a princess.

She is a princess.

Charlotte took a deep breath and declared to the boy in front of her.

"Roy Ironblad, I'm going to make things clear today!"

"You are the only man worthy of me!"

In the twilight, the princess stood proudly, even the sinking sunset behind her pale in comparison.

It was like the most dazzling crimson mark in this dark world, deeply imprinted in Roy's heart.

Roy never thought that he, who had been burdened with negative comments for more than ten years, would actually be favored and recognized by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

So subconsciously, he never considered proving to Charlotte that he was not the 'evil young Roy'.

As long as you don't fall in love, you will never get hurt.

Don't seek to achieve anything, just avoid making mistakes. Just don't offend Charlotte.

But at this moment, the proud princess used her passionate emotions to ignite Roy's silent heart.

Charlotte has proven that she will not deny Roy anything because of prejudice and rumors.

After a long time, Roy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"So Your Highness flew back just to tell me this?"
