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

Compared to the commercial area of ​​the Adventurer's Guild, most of the people coming and going here are nobles and magicians. There is a constant flow of people, but most of them are well-dressed and silent, which makes it seem more orderly and organized.

However, after seeing the young man and girl in black and white coats walking side by side, it still caused a small stir.

"The daughter of the Imperial Duke and the sworn knight of the Lionheart Kingdom?"

"Goodness! Even the Ice Rose couldn't escape the clutches of that young master!"

"Wait, I heard they were just direct master-disciple relationships."

"My friend, you don't understand! The relationship between master and apprentice in the magic academy is not as simple as you think. Besides, even those masters and apprentices who are secretly having an affair wouldn't dare wear couple outfits in public!"

Nobles are also human beings. It is precisely because they are nobility that they love gossip more!

Of course, everyone present was an elderly and experienced person, and as a qualified aristocrat, it was impossible for him to let the person concerned hear their gossip.

However, all these discussions reached the ears of another person.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Renata, I already have someone in my heart and I'm engaged. It's destined to be impossible between us." The silver-haired young man pretended to be melancholy, and his cold and elegant temperament made the woman beside him even more confused and infatuated.

Is it almost done?

Winter's lips curled up unconsciously.

Bringing up his engagement with Jon Snow was actually a retreat to advance, packaging himself as a prey with a fiancée.

This can make these noble women even more excited, eager to taste the forbidden fruit of a married man. Little do they know that he is the real hunter.

When you get tired of playing with them, you can use the name of an engagement, pretend to be sad and helpless, and then abandon them. This will make them even more devoted to you.

But at this moment, the woman's expression became three parts pity, three parts weirdness, three parts embarrassment, and one part secret joy.

"Mr. Winter, perhaps you don't have to worry about the engagement?"

"???"

Winter turned around and saw his fiancée walking side by side with the black-haired boy. She even picked up a pendant and put it on the latter intimately.

Hearing the whispers around him, the Imperial Prince's expression instantly froze.

Chapter 53: The Male Loser in the Lily Game

At first glance, Winter thought he was just hallucinating.

He and Jon Snow have known each other since childhood, and he knows that the other party has a cold personality and does not like to go out, let alone travel privately with the opposite sex.

But the faint whispers coming from all around reminded him that it was not an illusion.

The silver-haired young man clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

In the eyes of the princes of the empire, women were nothing more than disposable playthings.

Only Jon Snow has a special meaning to him. She is the flower of high mountain that he has never been able to get.

And now, a little devil actually dared to defile her existence!

Winter's eyes were cold, and he left the girl beside him and turned away.

"Is this one not okay too?"

"Sorry, I don't really need any defensive items. Teacher, you know I have a [Bones of Steel], right?"

Roy smiled bitterly and declined the offer.

Jon Snow casually put the item that was enough to withstand Sequence 7's full-strength attack back to its original place without any attachment.

No matter how precious the extraordinary props are, if Roy doesn't need them, they are worthless in Jon Snow's eyes.

After all, she came to the Chamber of Commerce this time to accompany her apprentice shopping, and she didn't need it herself.

"The next words..."

Just as Jon Snow was about to take Roy away, he saw several colleagues from the society coming over and started chatting with them.

"Ms. Andrews! I'm sorry to bother you while you're on vacation, but there were some errors in the investigation report you submitted earlier. I might need you to confirm it in person..."

It is not surprising to encounter magicians in a school, and work is always inseparable from tedious affairs.

Jon Snow always manages to remain calm and never complain, handling everything with extraordinary efficiency.

However, today she frowned slightly, and a wave of irritation surged in her heart.

Jon Snow looked at Roy, a little ashamed: "Sorry, I have to go take care of something."

Roy said cheerfully, "It's okay. Teacher, go do your work first. I'll just wander around here by myself."

“…I’m so sorry.”

The girl, who was not good at speaking, could only reiterate her apology, then quickened her pace and left with her colleagues.

Roy wandered between the shops, but felt a little regretful.

Although the extraordinary volunteering of the society is rich, it is not easy to find something related to the King's Certificate.

As for the props I need...

It’s not that the food here is bad, it’s just that it’s really useless to Roy.

A protective pendant that can withstand Sequence 7 attacks, a scepter that can release explosive fireballs, or a potion that can refresh people and keep them awake all night.

For most extraordinary people, it is a powerful tool that can supplement their own means and deal with emergencies.

But I have many protections on me, so these things can’t be said to be very useful, they can only be said to be better than nothing.

Useful, but not much, and worth buying at a high price.

If he had to say, Roy wanted a mid-level extraordinary item that could greatly enhance attack or defense. However, powerful mid-level extraordinary items already belonged to great nobles, and were quite rare even if they were learned.

However, before he continued shopping, he had to deal with a small problem.

"Mr. Winter, how are you?"

Roy didn't need to look back to know who the uninvited guest behind him was.

"Haha, I just happened to run into Roy, so I thought I'd come over and say hello."

The silver-haired prince came to Roy and pretended to pick out items with a smile on his face, but hostility was hidden in his eyes.

Roy's mouth twitched slightly, and he was already well aware of his intentions.

In fact, Roy had already caught a glimpse of his presence out of the corner of his eye from the beginning.

Jon Snow either noticed it but didn't care, or he didn't notice it at all.

As in the original novel, the relationship between the cousins ​​is actually very bad.

But Winter is deeply obsessed with Jon Snow, especially after they got engaged, he regarded Jon Snow as his exclusive love.

Unfortunately, "Angel Rondo" is a lesbian game. Even if you are a handsome prince, you have already lost the moment your character appears here.

This guy, probably thinking too much after seeing me and Jon Snow walking together?

"You seem to have a very good relationship with Jon Snow."

"I guess so. But what does this have to do with Mr. Winter?"

"Perhaps you don't know, but on the surface, I am her cousin. But privately, we are an engaged couple." Winter's tone was both boastful and slightly threatening.

Seeing Roy's mouth twitch and seem to tremble, Winter couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Haha, are you so shocked you can't speak? After all, a royal engagement is a promise worth a thousand gold, and it can't be shaken by your little tricks.

He patted Roy's shoulder and whispered coldly in his ear, "Boy, I don't care if you're a sworn knight, a personal apprentice, or something else. Be mindful of your duties and stay away from her."

"You're not worthy enough to touch her."

After finishing speaking, Winter's face returned to that cool and indifferent smile that was enough to charm thousands of girls, as if what he had just said was just a casual chat.

For a little kid, this level of warning should be enough.

"Okay, I won't bother Roy anymore."

However, just as Winter was about to turn around, his eyes froze.

Because Roy held his hand tightly.

The movement seemed clear, like a friendly handshake, but he felt as if he was clamped in a pair of pliers and could not break free for a moment.

Then, the black-haired boy raised his eyebrows and smiled kindly.

"Teacher Winter has misunderstood. Teacher Snow and I are only direct master and apprentice. There is no transgression between us."

Winter felt relieved after hearing this, but then he heard Roy say, "But, as I said, it's not your turn to worry about what happens between us."

Winter's eyebrows sank, and his smile was a little cold: "You seem to have forgotten, I just said -"

"An engagement, huh? An engagement that only you acknowledge is quite funny."

Winter's bluff failed and his face turned ugly in an instant.

As a noble, it would not be difficult for her to find out about his engagement with Jon Snow if she was willing to ask. However, Jon Snow did not acknowledge the engagement, so the only way to know about it was from Jon Snow herself.

She even told him the details of the engagement? What else did Jon Snow tell him?!

How far have they come?!

Winter was about to continue questioning, but the boy suddenly let go and his expression became harmless.

Then came a cold question: "Winter, what are you doing to him?"

"No, nothing..." Winter turned around and was about to explain with a smile.

But Roy had already spoken: "Nothing, we were just... chatting casually."

When speaking, the boy deliberately lowered his eyes, lowered his voice, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and forced a smile, as if he had suffered some injustice.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

In Jon Snow's eyes, it was a bullying scene where a bad teacher bullied a good student.

This stinky brat is actually playing me?!

Winter, who has always been good at playing with people's hearts with his acting skills, never expected that the other party was also an expert and was caught off guard.

"Jon Snow, we are just talking about you. I hope you can maintain the proper distance between master and apprentice..."

The prince of the empire quickly showed his flawless confusion and tried to save something.

Unfortunately, even if his acting skills were not much inferior to Roy's, his reaction was greatly reduced because he was a beat slower.

What's more, the status of the two in the girl's heart cannot be compared.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, his snow-white eyelashes were stained with frost. Jon Snow took a step forward to protect the boy behind him, and his eyes were sharp and cold as he glared at Winter.

"No need. I know how to maintain the relationship between master and disciple."

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Without waiting for Winter's response, Jon Snow grabbed Roy's hand and left as quickly as the wind, unwilling to stay for another second.

Looking at the soft hand resting on the boy's wrist, Winter's expression twisted slightly.

Chapter 54 I’m Not Drunk

The night is getting darker.

Passing through the drifting snowflakes, Roy followed the silver-haired girl into the high-end imperial-style restaurant, [Returning in the Snow].

A beautiful and neatly dressed maid came to take their clothes and led them to a semi-open box on the second floor to sit down.

The walls are covered with rough yet exquisite tapestries, and on the maroon patterned tablecloth are placed silver tableware engraved with ice-blue snowflakes.

Soft music flows slowly, and from the window you can see the falling winter snow and the bustling night scene illuminated by lights.

To book such a high-end restaurant on Grace Day would take a lot of effort even for a noble. This was enough to show that Jon Snow had been preparing for this day for a long time, and it also showed his sincerity.

However, Jon Snow himself was still not satisfied.

"If Winter bothers you again, just tell me."

"I will. But you don't have to worry too much, teacher." Roy touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "I am the son of a marquis after all. He wouldn't dare to go too far with me."

Ever since he learned that side of him that morning, Jon Snow seemed to have been stimulated and showed even more care for him. First he went shopping everywhere, then he took him to visit museums, and even hired a flying dragon to take him around the Citadel for fun.

If I had known, I wouldn't have acted pitiful. It made Jon Snow feel inexplicably bad.
