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

"Who knows if the maid had prepared her lines in advance?"

"But if I must say, Roy is more pleasing to the eye than that guy from Raymond's family, right?"

"That's right..."

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

Especially when Lei An and Roy stood face to face, the contrast was even more obvious.

A man with a distorted face, gritting his teeth, and extremely dark eyes.

The other one looked indifferent, as if he didn't take Lei An's accusation seriously at all.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Roy's palm fell on Alice's head. Just such a simple action immediately made the blonde maid suppress her anger and behave herself obediently.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Raymond just misunderstood."

Alice finally came to her senses and realized her rudeness. She lowered her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Master. I lost my composure."

"It's okay. I don't care about this little misunderstanding. I believe Mr. Raymond won't mind a momentary slip of the tongue either." Roy glanced at Lei An, reserved and implicit, with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Lei An was indeed a nuisance when he came to cause trouble.

As a result, his caring little maid cleared up Lei An's accusation with just a few words, so he didn't even need to say anything more.

I thought it was an elite monster, but it turned out to be a pure clown.

However, Raymond's face was extremely dark and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Even though he couldn't hear the discussions around him, he could sensitively feel that when people around him looked at him and Roy, they had completely different looks!

Why?

Why does this jerk have the right to ride on my head?!

Even though he knew rationally that Roy was giving him a way out, he couldn't swallow this.

However, just as the two were in a stalemate, a scream echoed.

"It's His Highness, His Highness has arrived!"

Everyone turned around and saw a golden-red griffin pulling a luxurious carriage, standing proudly at the front of the convoy, as eye-catching as a blazing flame.

Chapter 39 Your Highness!

A royal griffin with golden-red hair wrapped in flames, a magnificent convoy of ten carriages escorted by hundreds of knights, and a crimson-gilded emblem on the luxurious carriages - a lion king roaring in flames.

All of this symbolizes the nobility of the visitor.

Everyone instantly forgot the dispute between the two evil young men, and welcomed the arrival of the royal family members with awe, anticipation and respect.

The carriage door slowly opened, and a single, black silk foot, clad in a crimson high heel, gracefully landed on the floor. Following it were the girl's slightly plump, gracefully curved legs. Finally, her vibrant red hair cascaded like flames, and her exquisite face, a true treasure of the kingdom, finally came into view.

For a moment, a frenzied atmosphere spread among the crowd.

Naturally, there would be members of the royal family visiting at the Duke's dinner party.

But no one expected that the visitor would be the youngest princess of the royal family, the Ruby of the Lionheart Kingdom, Charlotte Reinhardt!

You know, Charlotte almost never shows up at the lord's banquet!

What is even more rare to see is the girl’s gorgeous dress.

The Lionheart Kingdom was a martial nation, and while it wasn't forbidden for women to wear military uniforms to banquets, the uniforms carried a more subtle connotation: women were reluctant to socialize with men at banquets, preferring minimal sociability. Furthermore, it was considered rude for men to invite women in military uniform to dance.

But today, Charlotte has taken off the military uniform that always accompanied her!

As the girl's lotus steps shifted, her knee-length burgundy skirt shimmered like a fine wine, revealing her graceful legs, clad in black over-the-knee socks. The dress featured an off-the-shoulder, tube-style design, revealing the girl's budding breasts. Her exposed shoulders and arms sparkled in the light.

Her slightly immature face already had a hint of the pride of a king. She strode into the venue and looked around, like a king inspecting her subjects.

The sternness and arrogance between the girl's eyebrows made these nobles of the same age pale in comparison. They subconsciously shrank back and lowered their heads, but they could not help but continue to spy on the princess who was as bright as a flame under the starry night sky, more dazzling than the lights.

The trivial discussions drifted in the wind, but could not conceal the people's enthusiasm for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

To put it bluntly, there is no one in the younger generation of the Lionheart Kingdom who does not fall in love with the princess.

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"She's wearing a dress today. Is she planning to find someone to dance with?"

"Oh my God, I would even die to dance with His Highness!"

"Then why don't you go?"

"Are you crazy? Your Highness dumped me in less than three minutes on our last blind date!"

Despite their admiration, most people were still hesitant to take any action due to Charlotte's aura.

"Your Majesty, you are as beautiful as the rumors say. I am from the Cartel family..."

"I know who you are. The dinner hasn't officially started yet, and I still need to visit Grand Duke Raymond. Could you please make way?"

Occasionally, a few people bravely stepped forward and tried to invite the princess, but they were all rejected in a few words with a cold tone.

Many men were frustrated that they couldn't attract the attention of the stunning princess even though she was right in front of them.

However, Charlotte is not indifferent to everyone.

Her gaze passed over the waiters outside, over the groups of aristocratic peers, and finally stopped at the area in front of the manor.

The beautiful eyebrows curved slightly, the girl's steps gradually became lighter, and Charlotte unconsciously smiled faintly.

Who caught the princess's attention?

Could it be that he is the lucky man who dressed up for Her Highness the Princess?!

Everyone followed Charlotte's gaze out of curiosity and discovered that the princess was looking at the two evil young men!

Lei An was stunned for a second, then he was ecstatic!

She's looking at me!

Sure enough, that day's rejection was merely the princess's pride and arrogance, perhaps even a minor test! In reality, she had already fallen in love with me!

Haha, so cute, this is what they call tsundere, right?

In the past few days, all the resentment and humiliation that Roy had brought to Lei An was swept away in an instant.

So what if I pretend to be a noble gentleman?

Someone with the discerning eye of a princess can see at a glance the vast difference between us.

Lei An finally gave Roy a look of sarcasm and ridicule, then straightened his clothes, bathed in the shocked, curious, and incredulous gazes of the crowd, held his head high and walked towards the flaming princess.

"Oh! My dear Charlotte, you are so beautiful today..."

Lei An naturally extended his hand to Charlotte.

But Charlotte walked past him as a matter of course without stopping.

Lei An was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't get angry. He chased after her: "Charlotte? Are you shy? There's no need to hide from me."

Charlotte sighed, finally turned around and gave him a look of impatience and contempt.

The red lips opened slightly, but what came out were not the sweet words Lei An had imagined.

"Leian Raymond, when did I ever allow you to call me by my first name?"

"Haha, if you don't want to call me, then don't. I know Your Highness is shy. Didn't I come here specially to accompany you?" Lei An once again stood in front of Charlotte, bent down slightly, stretched out a hand, and respectfully performed the gentleman's etiquette of inviting a lady.

"Could you please stop being so sentimental? When did I ever say I was here to see you?"

Charlotte left the last sentence impatiently, and then, with the fragrant wind and the hem of her skirt swaying, she passed by Lei An again.

Being rejected repeatedly in public and being laughed at by people around him made Lei An's face flush red, but what he couldn't understand even more was what Charlotte had just said.

You're not here to see me? Then what was that look just now about...?!

Lei An finally reacted and turned his head suddenly.

The nobles who were watching finally couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The red-haired princess finally stopped.

The man who made her stop was Roy Ironblad, another young villain who had just argued with Lei An!

"Your Highness is here to see the boy from the Iron Blood Family!"

"Ahhh, I'm heartbroken!"

"Why on earth is that useless young man allowed to be so close to His Highness?!"

"But compared to the one at Raymond's, Roy's is better."

"Em... to be frank, indeed."

"And I heard that His Highness and Roy had a great time at the previous blind date. It seems the rumors are true!"

In fact, according to the process of elimination, this result is not so surprising.

Putting aside the annoying Lei An, the person with the highest status present is Roy, the son of the Marquis.

But when this scene really happens before our eyes, people still can't help but sigh that reality is so magical.

People excitedly talked about how much Roy had changed and gossiped about his relationship with Charlotte.

As for the pale-faced, frozen-standing, disheveled Raymond, alone in the wind, no one cared about him anymore.

Chapter 40: That's More Like It

Without the annoying flies bothering her anymore, Charlotte could finally focus on the person she really wanted to talk to.

Roy Ironblad, a young man as quiet and elegant as the night sky.

Although there was an indelible arrogance between the princess's brows, when she really looked at the other person, she couldn't help but tense her legs and felt nervous.

How long has it been since I last wore a dress? Does it feel weird?

Of course, Charlotte would not show her inner anxiety. Her beautiful face showed her usual reserve, but even she herself did not know how bright her crimson eyes were when she looked at the boy.

"Roy, you look good dressed," Charlotte said in a casual manner. This wasn't a compliment, but genuine admiration.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Your beauty is even more breathtaking." Roy sighed slightly, his eyes also fixed on the fiery red figure in front of him.

Charlotte frowned, a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction trembling in her throat: "How polite! Didn't you say you should call me Charlotte?"

Roy was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed his unnecessary respect and smiled more sincerely than before: "Let's do it again, Charlotte. This dress really suits you."

This time, the girl could no longer hide the faint joy on her face.

"Not bad, huh? I haven't worn a dress in ages."

Charlotte seemed to be complaining to herself in distress, but in fact, she was holding the hem of her skirt and swaying in front of Roy with dignity, so that her long black silk legs were revealed under her skirt for a moment, and it seemed as if a fragrant breeze was blowing, which made Roy feel confused.

"That's a shame. I'm sure there are many who would welcome your Highness's dress."

Take me for example, Roy added in his mind.

"Forget it, I don't want those annoying guys to stick around." Charlotte felt a little depressed when she mentioned this.

Noticing Charlotte curling her lips, Roy also recalled some details.

I remember that it was mentioned in "Angel Rondo" that Charlotte hated men very much. The first time she wore a skirt in the game was to take Alice to a party.

In this case, I must be more careful not to upset the princess who dislikes men.

"But I think it's nice to wear a skirt once in a while..." Charlotte changed the subject and looked back at him.

The girl hesitated to speak, and the air felt strangely hot and soft.

Unfortunately, before Roy could figure out what the other party meant, a cold and pleasant whisper sounded beside him.

"Master, I will withdraw first and will not disturb you anymore."

Charlotte came back to her senses and looked at Alice, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

Is this the maid in the rumors?

It looks better than expected.

"You are......"
