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

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stepped forward like a hound to protect Roy.

"Alice, it's okay." Roy raised his hand slightly, signaling the other party to relax.

The latter then restrained his hostility, but still stared at the other party vigilantly.

At this time, Lyanna's face had brightened again, and she gave Alice a calm smile, as if nothing had happened just now.

"I won't bother Junior Roy for now."

"But, please think carefully about what I just said, okay?"

The brown-haired girl stood up after saying this, and walked away slowly with her long skirt slightly floating.

Chapter 29: Progress, but not much

Early in the morning, in a corner of the corridor of the teaching building.

The brown-haired girl looked through the window quietly at the black-haired boy who was coming in the distance with the morning breeze, and was lost in thought for a moment.

After that, Lyanna did not move for several days.

She didn't expect that just as she understood the other person, the other person also understood her and knew her other side as a witch.

This was an accident, but it did not affect her plan to win over Roy.

However, what really made Lyanna unable to understand was that she had offered enough benefits but still failed to impress Roy.

To become stronger, the Blood of the False King requires the remains of some mythical creature. Due to the covetousness of the cultists, the Blood of the False Kings of all generations desperately needs strength to protect themselves, and Roy should be no exception.

But Lyanna was not too discouraged. Rather, the boy's refusal piqued her interest even more.

If before she just wanted to borrow the power of the false king's blood, now she has the intention to conquer the young man himself.

Subordinates who are easily conquered are of no value.

Everyone has his or her own price, but I just haven't found his or hers yet.

A dangerous light flashed in Lyanna's eyes, like a snake lurking in the darkness, spitting out its tongue, eager to take action.

However, in the eyes of the purple-haired girl lying by the window, it looked completely different.

The girl stood by the window, gazing at the boy from afar, her eyes fixed on him, as if she were lost in thought.

Case solved.

The president is in love!

When Claire first heard the rumor that Lyanna was hitting on Roy, she didn't believe it.

Are you kidding? Our president has risen through the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and there must be something seriously wrong with his brain. How could he have the hobbies of a normal person?

But after witnessing Lyanna having lunch with Roy that day and seeing her current appearance, Claire believed it.

Lyanna's only concern was profit. However, in Claire's opinion, Roy had nothing worth Lyanna seeking, and their few encounters were just normal interactions between a man and a woman.

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect the president also has a girly side!

Although she felt emotional, what made Claire regretful was that the president's rare first love did not seem to be going smoothly.

Of course, with Lyanna's looks and temperament, she could easily win the hearts of men with just a smile. The problem was that Roy wasn't bad either, and he was already in a relationship. Even though the president was a shrewd and resourceful man, he had never been in a relationship before, so it would be difficult for him to win Roy over.

Thinking of this, Claire comforted him warmly, "Master President, don't be sad. If you miss this, there will be better ones."

Lyanna didn't even look up. Then she replied, "That won't do. He's necessary to me."

"Ah, this..." Claire scratched her cheek, not expecting the other party to be so persistent.

After all, it’s first love.

"But the progress now doesn't seem to be going smoothly, right?"

"You think that since I've been rejected twice in a row, there's no hope?"

Claire grinned awkwardly: "Hehehe..."

"That may not be the case." Lyanna murmured, the corners of her rosy lips slightly raised.

Neither contact was smooth, but there was progress.

She had confirmed that Roy was wary of her but not disgusted, and fearful but not hostile.

As long as she offered a corresponding price, she still had a chance of winning him over. The only problem was that she didn't know Roy well enough.

The information from the outside world and the understanding gained through a brief encounter are ultimately limited, so next...

"Master President, if you really want to pursue him, shouldn't you get to know him better?"

Lyanna glanced at the girl beside her, her second-in-command, and was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that with her erratic thinking and questionable intelligence, she would actually think the same way as she did.

Lyanna asked with interest, "How do you think I can learn more about him? I've already gathered a lot of information about him."

This was the first time her boss actively asked for advice, and Claire was so proud that her head almost flew up to the sky.

"No, no, no, you're wrong, President! If you want to pursue a man, don't trust outside rumors. You have to ask the people around him!"

Although the purpose is not quite right, this method really coincides with Lyanna's.

Indeed, other people's evaluations cannot be fully trusted, especially for a figure like Roy. Too much information makes it more difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Only from the people close to him can you know his true side.

Lyanna raised her eyes again and looked into the distance.

This time, she didn't look at the black-haired boy, but instead fixed her gaze on the golden figure beside him.

-------

The witch stopped.

But Roy's mood was very subtle.

[Warning! Progress has been made in detecting the fate-defying node! Every choice you make will change your fate, so choose carefully! Keep up the good work!]

[Current Fate-Defying Node: Royal Snake]

【Royal Snake Fate Defying Progress】: 2%

Ignoring the teacher's lengthy and drowsy lecture in class, the boy sighed secretly as he looked at the subtle progress on the panel.

There is progress, but not much.

Although Lyanna has not taken any action recently, the crisis of the Fate-Defying Node has not been resolved.

Of course, after the last contact, Roy was most likely sure that the other party might not want his kidney. After all, there was no grudge between the two of them. If they really wanted to fight, there was no need to waste so much time and effort inviting him to join.

However, she threw out the King's Certificate as bait, definitely intending to do something with her fake King's blood.

If it was the dean, someone like Janetia, Roy would be willing to give it a try.

But Lyanna is not a good partner.

Carl, Rob, Janetia, the dean, and even Douglas, the partners he had contacted before, were not only because of their common interests, but also because of their good reputation and character, and they had more or less some friendship with him.

As for Charlotte, Nia, Alice and the others, there is no need to mention them. They can be trusted unconditionally.

On the other hand, Lyanna can ruthlessly abandon any chess piece when necessary.

I am not familiar with her.

Regardless of whether she would stab him in the back, Roy believed that if the situation became critical, she would definitely abandon him as a pawn.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Roy does not want to be an enemy of such a person, let alone join forces with such a person.

However, his previous refusal to join the guild had resulted in some progress in the Destiny Defying Node, meaning that his choice was correct.

Just refuse to the end and stick to the attitude of keeping your distance.

But Roy didn't expect the river water to come so suddenly.

After the school bell rang, the boy went to the classroom on the other side of the teaching building as usual to pick up his maid.

However, he received some bad news from Nia.

"You're late. Alice left with the student council."

Chapter 30 Not a bad woman?

Tonight, the student union building, which would normally be plunged into darkness at this time of the night, was now brightly lit, with elegant music emanating from it, and laughter and conversation rising and falling.

Just because today is the student union’s new member reception dinner.

Alice followed the two student union sisters through the spacious corridor and went straight to the student union president's office.

Inside the office, a large floor-to-ceiling window lines one wall, offering a panoramic view of the courtyard. A luxurious yet comfortable sofa sits in front of it, bathed in warm yellow light, adding a touch of pleasant shadow to the entire office and outlining the graceful figure of the woman seated before it.

Here, she finally met the brown-haired girl, Lyanna, who invited her to chat.

"Welcome, Miss Alice. I've met you before, but never had a chance to chat properly." Lyanna extended her hand toward the seat beside her. "Please take a seat."

"You are too polite, President."

Alice nodded slightly in respect, then sat down next to Lyanna in a rather overly standard manner.

Her manners were impeccable, but her light blue eyes retained Alice's usual coldness.

"Master Guild Master, Alice will speak frankly. Please stop harassing the Master. Even if you want to start with me, it's meaningless. Alice will not go against the Master's wishes."

After all, Alice had no interest in the student union's new member reception. She only came to see Lyanna because she was asked to talk to her about Roy.

"If you continue to pester the master, Alice will not be polite even if you are the president." The girl's eyes darkened and her expression was cold.

Looking at Alice like this, Lyanna felt like she was facing a hound that was growling gloomily and could show its fangs at any time, or a sword that was ready to be unsheathed at any time.

However, Lyanna's expression remained unchanged. She chuckled and teased, "You are truly loyal."

"However, you seem to have misunderstood. I am not Roy's enemy." Lyanna paused. "Think about it, have I ever done anything to hurt him?"

Alice was slightly stunned.

It seems like I have never done it.

But, Charlotte said that these pretty, seemingly friendly guys are all bad women!

"Even so, you are not allowed to approach the master again!"

"Why? I clearly have no intention of becoming an enemy of Junior Roy, so why can't I get close to him?" Lyanna narrowed her eyes and asked calmly, "Can a maid like Miss Alice decide this? I just want to be friends with Roy, and that's not even allowed?"

"......" Alice was silenced by this series of questions.

As the other party said, as a maid, she has no right to prevent the other party from contacting her master unless she is an enemy.

Rather, since such an elegant and charming woman like Lyanna is willing to interact with her master, I should support her more.

However, when Alice thought that Roy might become closer to Lyanna, just like Charlotte and Nia before, she felt inexplicably sour and irritated.

It was at this moment that Lyanna clapped her hands, interrupting Alice's chaotic thoughts.

"Actually, you don't need to be so vigilant. I just want to get to know Junior Roy."

"why?"

"Is it strange to want to meet outstanding juniors?"

"But the master doesn't like you!"

"That's why I'm so distressed." Lyanna said this and sighed in mock disappointment.

"I clearly wanted to make friends with him, but ended up being misunderstood. It's all because I don't know him well enough, so..." Lyanna raised her head, stared at Alice, and said affectionately, "That's why I want to start by understanding him from the people closest to him."

The closest person!

Alice's heart moved and her eyes began to waver.

"No, Alice just..."

Without waiting for her to explain, Lyanna came over, held Alice's hand, and said sincerely, "So, to the extent you can, can you tell me more about Roy?"

Looking at those slightly moist eyes, Alice suddenly felt that the other person didn't seem so bad.

It seemed like she really just wanted to befriend her master. As a maid, I had no right to stop her, but as the master's closest person, perhaps I should help her...

After a moment's silence, Alice finally sighed softly as if she was disappointed.

"What do you want to know about the Master?"
