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

Alice looked up at Roy.

"Owner."

"Ok?"

"Last night, what on earth were you guys..."

He was halfway through his words when he felt something stuck in his throat.

Alice looked into those dark eyes that were calm but mixed with doubt, and inexplicably retreated.

Even if Lyanna is a bad woman, it is the master's freedom to like her, right?

As a maid, it is natural to always support the master's decisions.

As it should be.

If the master is unwilling to explain, as a maid, I should not ask about such matters.

Alice's gaze wavered, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But at this moment, Roy lowered his head slightly to her, revealing a look of shame: "I'm sorry."

"Ugh?"

"It must be lonely to be alone at home, right? I promised to come back at night, but I still left you at home. I am really an unqualified host."

In Roy's opinion, Alice just wanted to act like a spoiled brat, but she was too well-behaved and sensible, so she felt embarrassed.

"Oh, no, no, it's not the master's fault... It's okay for Alice to be alone..."

At first, Alice was panicking and wanted to explain something, until the boy's hand fell on her head, and she suddenly became quiet as if a switch was pressed.

When Roy caressed her gently, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, her whole body relaxed, and she exuded a warm atmosphere, like an iris swaying in the warm sunlight.

Only then would Alice involuntarily become honest.

"A little bit..."

"Ok?"

Alice raised her eyes weakly and muttered in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum: "A little bit lonely..."

As for the uneasiness caused by Lyanna, she had long thrown it out of her mind.

Roy couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard for you to look after the house alone."

"I've been busy lately. I'll go wherever you want to go after some time."

Alice seemed to want to say a few more polite words, but after Roy touched her twice more, she completely relaxed and agreed softly.

"Hmm...Hmm! Alice, I'll be waiting for the Master."

As for the entanglement between Lyanna and Roy, the little maid who was immersed in her master's caress had long forgotten it.

Chapter 99: Mutual Concern

A few days later, it was confirmed that Marvin Cassandra, the chief magician of the Purple Demon School, had colluded with the cultists.

The Purple Magic School was condemned by all sides, and all Purple Magicians in the city were forcibly searched. The news that the Academy would use force to suppress the Purple Magic School also spread to every corner of the Academy City.

Although Roy was speaking for Lyanna at the time and did not deliberately target the Purple Demon School, he did cause Marvin to be embarrassed at the banquet, giving the school an advantage.

Roy came to the bulletin board on the roadside and listened to the people around him talking about the Purple Demon School, feeling strange.

Why do I feel like I've inadvertently added fuel to the fire in the dispute between the Magicians' Society and the Purple Magic School?

Next to the bulletin board, someone from the Magicians' Society was giving a speech, recruiting volunteers to go to the war, and promising preferential treatment in the society and jobs after graduation.

Many students in the academy are also magic apprentices, and there are also many helpless civilians. For the sake of their future, it is of course impossible to refuse such a request.

Especially this battle, it won't be too difficult.

If a magician learns six factions and fights against one, how can he lose?

In the eyes of everyone, this is simply an extracurricular practice. They just need to go and have some fun, get some achievements, and add some luster to their resumes. Such a good thing is so tempting that they will rush to go.

Looking at the classmates who were laughing and not nervous at all, even Roy felt relaxed.

If things continue like this, even if I don't intervene, Lyanna should have a good ending and not turn evil, right?

Judging from the last time they met, Lyanna was relatively stable both in blood and spirit.

Thinking of this, Roy turned around and walked through the crowd without thinking too much.

"Welcome everyone! Fight alongside us magicians and eliminate the traitors who are colluding with humans!"

"History will remember your victory and glory—"

The familiar slogan stopped Roy in his tracks.

But what really startled him was the glaring prompt that lit up on the panel.

[Warning! A fateful encounter with the Emperor Snake has been detected, triggering a destiny-defying mission. Every choice you make will alter your fate, so choose carefully!]

[Current Fate-Defying Node: Royal Snake]

【Royal Snake Fate Defying Progress】: 25%

History will remember your victory and glory - there is a similar description in the original work.

However, regardless of whether it was a good ending or a bad ending, the Magicians Society's crusade against the Purple Demon School could not be considered smooth, and it suffered a considerable blow, far exceeding the public's expectations.

The reminder from the Fate-Defying Node forced Roy to start considering that this dispute might not be as simple as he thought.

In the original work, Lyanna, who had a bad ending, was corrupted by the blood of the demons and indiscriminately killed many innocent people, and was sentenced to death by the magician society.

In the good ending, Lyanna did not completely fall, but her mind was not normal. After taking back Cassandra's house, she kidnapped Alice and imprisoned her, which was an extreme act.

No matter which outcome, thinking about it now makes Roy's scalp tingle.

Originally, he thought that the reason so many unexpected things happened was because Lyanna was a lesbian who easily went to extremes.

After spending so much time together, he can be sure that Lyanna is not a lesbian, not a crazy bitch, but just a black-hearted senior who likes to sexually harass her junior classmates.

Well, it's weird to say that though.

But no matter what, Roy found it hard to imagine that Lyanna would suddenly go crazy.

Unless something extremely unbearable happened, which seriously stimulated her spirit.

Considering the failure of the Magicians' Society, Roy couldn't help but suspect that the Purple Demon School had hidden means far beyond what the world knew.

Oh my god, could it be another cultist? Could it be that the Purple Demon School is not only colluding with the cultists, but has even directly obtained the power of the evil god?

Just thinking about those psychopaths made Roy feel a little PTSD.

Now that he has the Lionheart Kingdom and the Emerald Senate as his backing, and is sheltered in the academy with the protection of the dean, Roy shouldn't have to worry too much about himself.

It’s just that the crisis of the fate-defying node is a bit like the butterfly effect. It’s difficult to see the outcome at the moment, which makes it difficult for him not to be vigilant.

Besides, there's Lyanna.

Roy's heart sank as he thought of the illusion of the girl falling into the abyss alone, and her degeneration into a demon, leading to a crazy and desperate future.

That guy is indeed a bad woman.

But no matter what, it wouldn't be so bad as to end up like this.

I can't just watch her die.

I can't wait for her to go crazy and kidnap me...

Thinking of this, Roy could no longer remain calm and quickly headed towards the Student Union.

----------

"The society has assembled its forces and is preparing to use the pretext of a compulsory investigation to attack the Purple Demon School by force."

"Then we will take back what belongs to us. Haha, you've been looking forward to this day for a long time, right?"

In the dark abyss, the decayed old man stretched out a dry palm towards the hypocrisy above, slowly clenched it, and his tone revealed a rare joy.

But Lyanna in front of him had a serious expression on her face.

"Dia Cassandra, that man is willing to collude with the cultists. He must be planning something in secret."

"Is it really that easy to learn?"

When Dia first arrived and was still inexperienced, she easily designed to take away Cassandra's family.

Hatred did not cloud Lyanna's mind.

Lyanna couldn't believe that after all these years, Dia hadn't made plans for the current situation.

Especially recently, the Purple Demon School has been unusually well-behaved. It seems that they are accumulating strength for the upcoming war.

"Hmph, those old guys have accumulated so much power over the years. If a real fight breaks out, they will not be shaken by a mere Purple Demon School. But considering their half-baked attitude, I think they will suffer a lot of losses." The leader of the Black Demon sneered, his joyful mood did not diminish at all, as if watching either side suffer was a good thing.

"However, it's good to be cautious. Dark magicians use everything they can."

"I heard that you were very close to the Blood of the False King."

The old man's words were so relaxed, as if an elder was concerned about his granddaughter's love life, but Lyanna could hear the indifference in his words.

In his eyes, everyone is a tool and a pawn, and he requires himself to do the same.

Having learned her lesson from last time, Lyanna learned to conceal herself better.

She whispered in a tone without any emotion: "We were very close. But that man is very smart."

"The previous alliance was only for the advancement of his bloodline. This time, I'm afraid he won't make a move for shallow interests again."

The old man's voice was unremarkable: "Perhaps you haven't paid enough."

"Perhaps, but I'm no longer interested in that level of power."

Lyanna said, raising herself to her feet.

The next moment, a majestic and extraordinary wave exploded, and nine huge and twisted oily green snake shadows howled wildly in the darkness, like horrific monsters from the abyss, finally reappearing in the world, bringing endless fear to the world.

The entire school of black magic, whether it was the apprentices who were suffering from inhuman torture or the magicians who had already achieved the path of black magic, were all shocked by this terrifying power, and cast jealousy and awe towards the abyss.

Lyanna sneered disdainfully at the old man in front of her: "There's no need for the false king's blood. I alone am enough."

Staring at the darkness in the girl's eyes, the old man raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Chapter 100 Lyanna's True Heart

In the carriage, the brown-haired girl stared out the window, looking a little melancholy, which made Claire feel uncomfortable.

After returning from the base of the School of Dark Magic, Lyanna's expression became a little gloomy.

Claire understood that meeting the Dark Lord was not a pleasant experience, especially since Lyanna was given such high hopes and shouldered such an unshirkable burden.

Claire could only pretend to be cheerful and said, "Don't worry too much, President."

"Although the Purple Demon School has a deep foundation, we still don't have the support of the other six major schools. Shouldn't it be too difficult to deal with them?"

"It's hard to say. The six major schools are entangled with each other and will not fight with their full strength. The methods of the Purple Demon School are far more than that." Lyanna snorted listlessly.

"Should we call Roy?" Claire asked casually.

From Claire's perspective, Roy had already had close exchanges with his guild leader and had even worked together to seize the treasure. On the day of the banquet at Cassandra's house, they were so close that they indulged in a revelry.

Isn’t this definitely one of our own?

However, Lyanna looked back with an expression that showed concern for the little fool.

"Why do you think Roy will help me?"

"Well, why not?"

"After all, we're just partners. At most, we're senior and junior students. He was willing to speak up for me before, which was already an exception." Lyanna paused, lowered her eyes, and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't have anything that can impress him now."

Of course, according to the Dark Lord's idea, continuing to use interests as bait to lure Roy into the game is also a way.

But Lyanna had already decided that she could no longer use the boy.

"Oh, oh." Claire responded blankly, but she seemed to understand.

Aren't you already in the kind of relationship where you stay out all night and indulge in singing and dancing? Why are you talking so distantly?

The vice president, who had no idea of ​​Lyanna's plan, suddenly had a strange misunderstanding and his thoughts became even more confused.
