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

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lei An was nowhere to be seen, and the banquet scene suddenly became a little restless.

According to 'Bad Boy Roy's' impression of Lei An, this guy must have gone out to hang out, right?

Roy didn't care about a minor character that didn't appear in the original work, but as he remembered more and more memories of Lei An, he became vaguely uneasy.

That guy is a bastard who will take advantage of any flaw and bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Just in case, I should go out and take a look.

Thinking of this, Roy quietly left the stage.

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

"Master Lei An, why did you come out?!"

"That kind of boring banquet will only waste my time."

After leaving the banquet hall, Lei An finally escaped from the gossip.

A group of playboys who also didn't want to stay inside came in a swarm like followers.

Needless to say, these people are the second-generation rich men in the kingdom, second only to the two evil young men. They are notorious and like to use their power to bully men and women. They are Lei An's most loyal lackeys.

But their crowds and respects did not arouse Lei An's interest at all.

He himself looks down on these people.

I am the son of a duke, the future Grand Duke Raymond!

That glamorous, elegant and luxurious upper-class banquet is his destiny!

But those bastards...

Be it his own father, Princess Charlotte, or even those scumbag nobles—

One by one, one by one, I realized that Roy, that loser, didn't take me seriously at all!

What right does he have for a mere piece of trash?!

"Master Lei An, where are we going to have fun today?"

"Get lost, I'm not in the mood now..."

Lei An paused, but his eyes were fixed.

At the banquet on the distant grass, the maids' skirts swayed like flowers. Among these pure and lovely maids, there was a blonde girl who was as dazzling as the bright moon among the stars.

The maid's short skirt made the girl's temperament seem a little plain. Now, after taking a closer look, Lei An realized that the elegant and delicate face did not belong to Princess Charlotte at all.

Remember that was Roy's maid.

The bitch who just dared to talk back to me.

Lei An's smile suddenly turned ferocious.

"Let's go find some fun!"

Many nobles have personal maids. Although they cannot enter the inner hall directly, they can stay outside and receive the host's hospitality as guests.

The maids were much more casual with each other than the nobles. Curious girls gathered together to inquire about the gossip of each family, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

Alice was not used to this noisy scene until someone mentioned Roy's name.

The little maids were no longer sleepy at that time, and they solemnly and sincerely promoted Roy's truth, goodness and beauty.

Give her delicacies she has never tasted before.

Buy her a little dress she's never worn.

I even slept with her on the first night (I thought) to relieve her loneliness.

The overly simple description actually sparked the audience's imagination, outlining the image of a perfect prince, making everyone extremely envious.

But just when everyone was listening with interest, a shrill whistle sounded, breaking their relaxed atmosphere.

A few ruffian-like young men came with malicious smiles, and all the maids immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

"What bad luck! Why are they here again?"

"Little Alice, go away and don't get involved with them!"

"Yo yo yo, where do you want to go?"

Alice also wanted to leave, but these guys blocked her way first.

They came just for me.

Alice's heart sank. She looked up and saw Lei An.

Alice was very familiar with that look filled with evil thoughts and malice.

But when she was in the tavern and around the human traffickers, there was always someone to protect her from being molested, so that she could be sold at a good price.

Alice was afraid of this kind of look at first, but gradually became numb to it. But today, she felt a nausea she had never felt before.

Worse than moldy bread.

"You're just a maid, but you're acting like this when you see a noble? You're worthy of being a maid in the Roy family. You're so uneducated."

Alice immediately lifted the hem of her skirt and returned the greeting gracefully.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Lei An snorted arrogantly and was about to speak when Alice replied calmly, "You should return the favor."

Lei An was a little overwhelmed by the inexplicable words.

But Alice stared at her stubbornly and seriously, repeating, "I have bowed. As a noble, you should nod in return."

All the playboys, including Lei An, were amused by this sentence: "You are just a maid, and you dare to teach me how to do..."

"No manners."

The calm yet sharp words interrupted everyone's laughter.

The followers didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Lei An was still smiling, but his face was even darker than before.

Well, I won’t bother with a mere maid.

Lei An nodded and returned the greeting.

"It seems Roy has trained you well. You must like that guy very much, right? But..."

"Isn't this natural?" Alice tilted her head, as if it was unreasonable, and interrupted Lei An again.

But the interruption was quite natural!

Lei An felt uncomfortable, as if he had inexplicably bitten peppercorns while eating.

Forcefully ignoring Alice's words, Lei An continued, "But I want to tell you Roy's true face!"

"I don't know."

The conversation finally got into a rhythm, and a sinister glint flashed in Lei An's eyes.

"Haha, you have no idea what a filthy scumbag your respected master, Roy Ironblad, is, right?"

Chapter 44 Discipline

"The master is not a scum." Alice's eyes darkened, her originally clear eyes seemed to be frozen cold, and her small hands were clenched into fists.

But when you are weak enough, even your anger will only make people laugh.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just trying to help you face reality."

"Tell me, what kind of person is Roy?"

As Lei An asked the question, the lackeys immediately started to make a fuss.

"Incompetent! I'm 18 and still haven't inherited the extraordinary bloodline!"

"Coward! You dare not even breathe in front of Lord Lei An!"

"And he's not a good guy at all. I'm afraid even his own maids look down on him!"

"Your Highness must be blind to fall for this kind of stuff!"

Some of these words were true, some were false, but Lei An didn't care.

It would be enough as long as Roy's image in the maid's mind could be tarnished.

Lei An just wanted to disgust him.

This made Roy's most beloved and trusted personal maid completely lose respect for him. Perhaps she still maintained courtesy on the surface, but in private she despised Roy!

Don't you love to pretend to be glamorous? I'm going to make the people around you see your true face!

"The master is not the kind of person you say he is!" Alice glared at him and denied loudly.

But this denial disappeared amid the rude and disdainful ridicule of the surrounding playboys, and did not cause the slightest wave.

"Don't be silly. You're so protective of your master. Do you really think he'll care about you?" Lei An laughed, enjoying the little maid's futile argument.

"Roy's just putting on a show, and you really believed it? He's after Princess Charlotte, and you're just a plaything. He'll throw you away anytime he gets tired of playing house!"

The laughter intensified.

However, Alice took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

"The master will never abandon me."

"Really? And now he's just left you here, all alone with Charlotte?"

"so what?"

"What?" Now it was Lei An's turn to be confused.

Alice clutched her chest, recalling the promise she made that day. She said softly but firmly, "Master said he would never abandon me."

She had indeed been worried and terrified by the nightmare that Ryan had described. Just imagining the days when Roy and Charlotte were together made her chest feel so depressed that she almost suffocated.

But that day, she got Roy's personal promise.

I will never abandon you

You are always special in my heart

So her feelings were the same.

I will always wait for my master to come back.

She didn't believe a single word of what Lei An described.

Alice looked at the evil young man in front of her calmly and said as a matter of course: "So what if the master and His Highness are together? As a maid, I should support the master's happiness."

"As long as I can stay with my master, that's enough."

"If there is nothing else, please excuse me."

The girl said this and was about to turn and leave.

This calmness made the group of playboys who were laughing at him suddenly speechless and a little embarrassed.

Especially Lei An.

The girl's calmness came from her trust in Roy, and it was impossible for her to provoke them.

Ahhh, one by one, whether it's my father, Charlotte, or even this mere maid, are they so fond of that loser?!

Lei An finally dropped his disguised cold-bloodedness, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes as he stared at Alice.

The consequences no longer matter.

By the way, this maid is Roy’s beloved pet, right?

If you break her, that loser will be very sad.

"Wait, there's one last thing." Lei An smiled cruelly, "Since you like your master so much, suffer a little for him."

"!"

In an instant, Lei An suddenly opened his palm, raised a gust of wind, and grabbed Alice's face.

This attack from a transcendent being went beyond just 'suffering a little'.
