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

This holiday is probably one of the few times that Alice can relax and feel at ease.

But Alice was not happy when she heard this. Instead, she looked worried: "Is the master okay without Alice here?"

"Ugh?"

"Washing clothes, cooking, going to bed early and getting up early, can the master really take care of himself alone?"

What do you think your master is?!

Although he wanted to complain, but when he thought about it carefully, it was Alice who had been taking care of all this all along, and Roy was unable to refute it for a moment!

Vizseya didn't have an alarm clock, so Roy even based his daily wake-up time on Alice's greetings.

Who is actually raising whom? This question is really terrifying when you think about it carefully.

But in front of the little maid, Roy would still put on a reliable look: "Don't worry about me. Just take this opportunity to go back and relax."

"So..." Alice lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Alice understands. She will go back with Charlotte tomorrow."

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of her." Charlotte on the side also patted her barren chest and assured.

After a year of getting along, the two girls have become as close as best friends, and even honorifics are not needed.

Roy was originally worried that Alice would be reluctant to leave him, so he had thought of a lot of words to persuade her not to care about him. However, the little maid did not insist on staying, and she agreed so easily, which made him feel a little lonely.

Little did he know that the little maid's purpose of returning home was completely different from what he had imagined.

She wasn't going back to play.

Every winter, monster riots are extremely frequent in the Lionheart Kingdom. The kingdom's martial spirit is largely due to the need to defend against these monsters.

In Alice's opinion, this is a great opportunity to hone herself.

Alice had a vague feeling that one day Roy would need her strength.

Although she is reluctant to part with her master, in order to protect and help her master, she must hone herself to be stronger so that she can be used by her master at the critical moment.

only......

Being separated from its owner for such a long time, it will definitely lose its energy.

When you leave, take a few more of your master's clothes with you.

"But this way, Roy will be left alone."

Charlotte's subconscious sigh was the common feeling of Nia and Lyanna.

Nia pointed her fork at Roy and said half-jokingly, "Now that Alice is gone, don't take this opportunity to tryst with other girls."

Roy was both angry and amused: "Don't we even have this little bit of trust between us?"

Even Lyanna narrowed her eyes and joined in the condemnation: "Isn't it true? Didn't you do this and that with a certain beautiful teacher before?"

To be honest, if they were ordinary girls, they wouldn't be so timid.

The problem is that the [Ice Rose] is as beautiful as its name suggests, like frost and snow, and has a charm that is unique to the beauties of the empire, making it difficult for them not to be vigilant.

Rather, looking at the entire academy, only Jon Snow can make them feel a sense of crisis.

The condemning gazes of the three girls made Roy feel more pressured.

Fortunately, the little girl didn't let the wind out this time, but changed the subject at the right time: "The cram school is over, the master and Mr. Xue Nuo will no longer have any relationship, right?"

After hearing this, the three girls suddenly realized and put their worries aside.

Yes, the cram school is over. The two of them have nothing to do with each other in this big college, so it seems there is no need to worry too much.

stable!

The girls talked and laughed, and the atmosphere at the table became cheerful again.

The little maid secretly cast a warm glance at the boy.

Only Roy was silently sweating.

In this atmosphere, how could he possibly say that he was Jon Snow's personal apprentice?!

----------

In the villa in the suburbs, the skinny and pale bald man looked stern.

Opposite him, a handsome young man with silver hair was hugging two beauties with pale skin and lifeless eyes, and leisurely told them everything that happened in the academy.

Even the Sage probably couldn't have imagined that the noble prince of the empire was actually a traitor who had been colluding with the evil cult and had been hiding for a long time.

Unlike the demonic head of the Cassandra family who had taken in cultists many times, Winter only provided minimal help.

For a long time, he had only cooperated with the cultists twice in a real sense. One was the Blue Trial, and the other was the recent final combat, an assassination using Enwei.

But even with the help of an insider, the assassination attempt on the false king's blood still failed.

Originally, Barnes only felt that [Withering of All Things] was incompetent. Even with such a big commotion, it still couldn't get the Blood of the Pseudo-King and a low-sequence girl.

But now, having learned what had happened, Barnes' smile faded, his eyes trembling in disbelief. "He eliminated a Sequence 6 by himself? This generation's false king's blood is so powerful?"

Winter, who was standing by, enjoyed the pale beauty's service, sipped the red wine, exhaled slowly, and said frivolously, "Is this surprising?"

"People like Enwei who would argue with a little kid will never accomplish anything."

Barnes remained noncommittal.

The blood of the false king is very special, but his real characteristic is not his strength.

Rather, it is not until the intermediate stage that the combat effectiveness of the Pseudo-King's Blood truly changes.

He's only at Sequence 7, yet he possesses such combat prowess... The more one understands the blood of the false king, the more one senses a foreboding premonition.

"In any case, it's best not to take action recently, at least not in the Citadel." Winter warned coldly.

"Thanks to you, the academy is in a tight spot. I can't help you much now. Instead of worrying about the fake king's blood, you should focus on the border issue."

"I join forces with you for the empire's long-cherished wish, not to be your nanny."

Winter narrowed his eyes in indifference, looking down at the cultist in front of him. He had none of his usual gentle demeanor, and his tone was full of coldness and majesty.

Barnes forced a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"Everything on the empire's border is proceeding as planned."

----------

On the first day of winter vacation, Roy sent away a group of girls led by Alice.

What comforted him was that before leaving, Alice came over reluctantly, raised her head weakly, and wanted him to touch her head one last time.

What? This kid actually still can’t bear to leave me!

Just this touch made Charlotte and the others jealous. They came up one after another and hugged and embraced her, lingering at the school gate for a long time, attracting the attention of passers-by.

But, in this way, I became a human again after a long time.

Looking at the girls walking away together, Roy couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

The boy stopped for a long time, until they completely disappeared from his sight, then turned around and went back to the academy.

From now on, he will spend the long winter vacation alone.

Chapter 49: The First Day of Winter Vacation

This year's holiday will probably be very idle without the company of the girls.

Although first-year students who stay in the college will do some projects with their personal tutors in advance, they are generally not too busy.

After all, the tutor also needs to take a vacation, right?

Winter vacation is a long holiday. Who would do any serious work during the vacation?

In order to avoid being too idle, Roy spent the entire morning arranging a full schedule.

Then I ate early, went to bed, and read short stories, spending an extremely lazy day.

Huh? You mean business?

Come on, isn't it common sense to spend the first day of your holiday? The holiday isn't going away, so there's no need to rush.

However, the next day, when the silver wolf [Xiaobai] came to scratch the door with a letter in its mouth, the gears of fate began to turn -

As Jon Snow requested, Roy came to her room early in the morning to report.

If there was a girl who could break into her room without being emotionally bullying, it would probably be Jon Snow.

Jon Snow's room was minimalist, neatly arranged with books and materials. Even the teacups were simple wooden cups. With no lighting, it was dim and cold, looking like a long-neglected archive.

The only item that has a sense of life is the plush carpet in the corner that belongs to Xiaobai.

It is not difficult to guess what requirements such a simple, minimalist, aloof teacher who only cares about work and efficiency would have.

"Mr. Roy, since you are my direct apprentice, I need to trouble you to do a small favor during this holiday."

"Teacher, don't worry. Just leave this matter to me."

It is natural for apprentices to help their mentors with their work.

Besides, I'm free anyway, so it's no big deal to help Jon Snow.

Most importantly, how busy can the work of a tutor at a magic academy be?

With all due respect, compared to my previous life, Vizseya's studies are basically at the beginner level!

Roy knew very well that the instructors at the magic academy were all idle people.

When he was recruiting his own mentor, he openly said that he would take him on a trip with public funds for food, drinks and entertainment.

However, there are always exceptions.

On the first day of work, he organized the experimental report and was busy from morning to night, which taught Roy a good lesson.

This is just the beginning.

From conducting experiments, to compiling reports, to preparing for classes for the next semester, to completing research and practical commissions issued by the Magician Society.

Jon Snow works almost 24 hours a day, fully utilizing the energy advantage of a superhuman being, and his success is outrageous!

At the end of the week, Roy would either be overwhelmed by the endless paperwork and start doubting his life, or accompany Jon Snow to the wilderness to hunt monsters. He would go out early in the morning and return in the evening, and he felt terrible.

This, this shouldn't be the case?

Isn't it winter vacation? Why am I busier than usual every day?!

Whenever Roy passed by and saw those classmates who also stayed in the college, some were decadent and decadent, while others were having a blast, he felt a deep resentment!

One night, overwhelmed, Roy finally couldn't help but protest: "Teacher Snow!"

"Is something wrong?"

The silver-haired girl who was writing furiously raised her head, and her pair of ice-blue eyes looked over indifferently, full of coldness.

Before he even opened his mouth, Roy's momentum weakened a bit.

Jon Snow has a stern aura that makes him naturally overpower others. Coupled with the buff that teachers give to students, Roy always feels very weak.

But for the sake of a wonderful holiday life, Roy still plucked up the courage: "Teacher Xue Nuo, although I don't mind helping you, but, that..."

"After all, I am your apprentice, not your work partner."

To his surprise, Jon Snow didn't get angry, nor did he evade the question. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly, "I understand. I see. It was my negligence."

"I'm sorry, this is my first time taking in a disciple, so I might not have considered some things carefully. Starting tomorrow, I will reduce your workload as appropriate."

Roy was overjoyed. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to.

If it were in my previous life, it would be strange if my mentor didn’t squeeze me to death!

That's right, Jon Snow is just a little rigid and slow in dealing with people. Her intentions are not bad. She is much better than those old men who use students as tools for their own selfish desires!

As a result, the next day, Roy was taught another hard lesson.

A lesson in its own sense.

"Indeed, your education should be prioritized over my personal work."

Xue Nuo carried a pile of heavy books, nearly half a meter high, and piled them in front of the table. His expression was bright and clear. "In that case, let's preview the courses for next semester."

"Well, I don't think there's any need to rush into the knowledge in books..."
