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

Oh no, is the next plot going to be about these two beautiful girls uniting against a common enemy and beating up the scumbag?!

"Just have fun chatting."

"But it's getting late, so why not call it a day? I'm going back to rest."

Roy said as he turned and prepared to run away.

But behind him came Charlotte's faintly restless question.

"That's perfect. Let's go back together in my carriage."

"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry. Roy will continue to live here."

"That's not necessary. The healing is complete, so I won't bother taking care of my knight."

"Why are you being polite? Roy is not an outsider to me. Besides, he's having a great time staying here these past two days."

"Happy? Humph, there's no point in me saying more. Why don't you let me answer it myself?"

Listening to the two people's explosive laughter, Roy realized that they were only restraining themselves temporarily, and in fact they were still hostile to each other!

However, they no longer need to rely on quarreling and fighting to compete with each other, but instead plan to let themselves be the referee!

You have to run away before you get burned!

However, just as Roy took a step forward, two girls came forward from the left and right to block his way.

"Go back with me..."

"Let's stay here..."

"Roy, what's your choice?" ×2

Roy almost fainted.

On one side is the future Lionheart Queen, on the other side is the future Chief of the Elf, on one side is the monarch he is loyal to, and on the other side is his partner who has a crush on him.

More importantly, they have already planted feelings in their hearts.

No matter which side you choose, you will hurt the other side's feelings.

The side that has been abandoned will never give up easily.

How to choose this horse?!

The red-haired princess frowned slightly, her face was filled with anger, but she clutched the ends of her hair tightly in anxiety.

The green-haired elf seemed to have a smile on his face, but his emerald eyes were slightly moist.

However, in response to the two girls' questions, the black-haired boy looked past them and towards the door.

He finally got the answer, and opened up a brand new path beyond the two thorny roads!

"My choice is her."

Roy quickly walked past the two of them and came to the side of the golden figure. He grabbed Alice's white little hand tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

The little maid blinked, a little at a loss.

"My body has basically recovered. I don't need to stay in the parliament to recuperate, and there is no need to trouble Charlotte. So, Alice and I will just go home." Roy said with a smile under the stunned gaze of Charlotte and Nia.

This reason was so justified that none of them could refute it.

That night, they could only watch the black-haired boy and the blonde maid walk home hand in hand.

Chapter 134: Visit from Senior

In the early morning, Roy took a sip of coffee brewed by the maid and looked out the window at the warm blue sky and white clouds. He couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Even after several days, Roy still felt like he had survived a disaster when he recalled what happened that night.

The dispute between the two girls was suppressed by their respective forces.

Fortunately, I thought of using the little maid as a shield, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But this is just a delaying tactic after all. You can avoid it for a while, but not forever.

Roy knew very well that the two girls would never give up.

It is difficult for people to listen to advice when they are angry, especially if they are the source of their anger.

So in order to avoid upsetting them, Roy stayed at home for the past two days.

Although his injury has basically healed, there is still a lingering effect of sick leave.

One word, wait!

Wait until the two of them have calmed down a bit, then I will go and discuss it with them slowly. There is no need to rush before then.

Out of a wonderful tacit understanding, neither of the two girls came to visit in the past few days, and Roy was happy about it.

But unexpectedly, the first visitor a few days later was neither Charlotte nor Nia.

But it was Douglas, the third prince of the Kingdom of Sands and the leader of one of the three major factions in the academy.

At this moment, the tall and majestic prince, dressed in jewels, was sitting opposite Roy.

"Roy, I'm glad to see you recover. I came to visit you on behalf of the Jinsha faction and the other students you saved during the Blue Trial."

"You're too polite, Senior. It's our duty as classmates to help each other. Besides, it was the Rangers and teachers who rescued us in the end."

Douglas curled his lips and remained silent.

Although Roy's battle with the Son of Withering, in which he used the power of the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, was kept secret by the academy, information about it was controlled.

But the fact that the young man defeated the cult's priest, protected his classmates to regroup, and led everyone to launch a counterattack against the cult were enough to make the Prince of Jinsha admire him very much.

Let go of the past and don't be afraid of difficulties.

The means are endless and the strength is unfathomable.

Such talent makes it difficult for Douglas, a prince, not to love him.

As for that little grudge from before...

The prince, who was already accustomed to power struggles, understood that there were no eternal enemies in history.

What's more, we are all classmates, and we have experienced life and death together and fought against cults.

Now that the culprit Yana is dead, what else does he have to care about?

However, facing the inexplicably hot gaze of his senior, Roy felt his body tense and became slightly alert.

"So, senior, those are..." Roy said, looking at the carriages piled high with gold, silver, jewelry, and rare medicinal herbs.

Douglas smiled lightly and said casually, "Those are gifts of thanks from the nobles you saved, as well as a small token of my personal appreciation."

Nearly half of the carriages were engraved with the royal crest of the Golden Desert.

Although Roy was not short of money, it was mainly because he did not have huge expenses like other nobles.

But in front of a rich man like Douglas, he pales in comparison.

Among the seven major powers in Vizsea, the richest one is the Kingdom of Gold Sands, which owns countless gold mines.

Simply put, ordinary rich people own mines at home, while Douglas has a home in the mine.

If I really counted it, the money in my card might only be enough for Douglas's compartment...

The senior's enthusiasm made Roy more and more nervous.

Why do I have the illusion that a domineering president is doting on his girlfriend?

Having said that, there is no reason to refuse a gift.

"However, I don't think Roy would care about this little bit of money."

Roy was completely overwhelmed by such Versailles words.

"But in our country of Jinsha, besides gold and silver, the only thing we can show off is our forging skills."

Douglas smiled and said, "So, if you need to create a suitable supernatural weapon, Roy, I can contact the master at the Platinum Workshop headquarters on your behalf."

Roy's eyes moved, but he suppressed his excitement and said hesitantly: "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated, Senior?"

"The thank you for helping me during the trial is enough. I would be sorry to trouble you any further."

Unlike the extraordinary props that are easy to use and come in a variety of types, extraordinary weapons are magical weapons designed specifically for killing.

Only the dwarves possess the technology to forge extraordinary weapons, because this technology itself belongs to the extraordinary ability of the dwarves and cannot be passed on to outsiders.

All weapons produced by [Platinum Workshop] are of high quality, and the extraordinary weapons forged by the masters themselves are treasures worth a fortune.

Precious, powerful, rare.

To obtain a piece of extraordinary weapon of this level, even for Douglas, it would probably cost a lot of money.

Douglas seemed to have anticipated Roy's refusal and smiled broadly, looking extremely cheerful.

"That's right, so this isn't a thank you gift. Just think of it as me personally wanting to be your friend."

You better be.

Despite his inner complaints, Roy still put on a friendly smile and said, "Thank you very much, Senior."

In the original work, the Jinsha faction and Douglas were positioned as neutral villains. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Roy didn't want to deal with them.

But if it's for making friends, it's not a bad idea.

Putting aside Douglas's sexual orientation, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Especially when others take the initiative to show goodwill.

In fact, Douglas's temporary allies did a very good job in this Blue Trial.

Without him leading the other students in guerrilla warfare to divert the cult guards, he and Nia would never have been able to approach the center of the barrier of the [Fallen Forest] so easily.

What's more, Douglas may be expected to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Sands in the future, so it is naturally right to establish good relations in advance.

The serious business was basically finished here, and Douglas obviously relaxed and the topic turned to casual conversation.

Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Glass had a fiancée in his hometown.

In the relaxed atmosphere, Roy also had the interest to tease: "Senior's fiancée must be a well-educated and beautiful woman. I am a little envious of her."

Douglas's expression was a little complicated, and he hesitated to speak: "I don't deny that she is beautiful, and she is well-educated and well-mannered..."

"Let's not talk about me, how about you?"

Roy was slightly startled.

"You seem to have a close relationship with Princess Lionheart and Miss Nightingale." Douglas joked.

"Forehead......."

Douglas's face showed understanding: "It seems that you have your own troubles."

"However, the final dinner is coming up soon, so it's better to decide on a female companion as soon as possible."

"Wait, a female companion? A dinner party?" Roy was full of questions and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Douglas asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't it normal for men to bring female companions to the final banquet? And as one of the top four in the Blue Trial, you're the protagonist."

He glanced secretly at the silent maid beside him.

Although she is still young, petite, and looks like a motionless doll with little presence, there is no doubt that she is a beauty.

The Prince of Jinsha said meaningfully, "There's been a lot of debate in the academy these past few days about who you're going to choose as your female companion. Even I'm a little interested."

Chapter 2: The Advantage Is in Me*

When Roy asked, he found out that the Blue Trial did have a ranking in the end.

Since the trial was interrupted by the attack of [Withering of All Things], the original rules were invalidated, and the results were ultimately determined based on the students' performance during the cult attack, which also served to boost the students' morale.

This cult attack was a scandal and disaster for the college, and it dealt a serious blow to its prestige.

But for students, it is both a crisis and a challenge.

While most students were panicking and trying to escape, a few stepped forward and demonstrated an ability to cope far beyond others.

Among them, the four with the best performance were Roy, Nia, Charlotte, and Douglas, and they were selected as the top four.
