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

No, you just ran away like that?!

It was so heartwarming just now, how come it suddenly became so boring?!

No, this is not a leak, this is the cotton-padded jacket flying away!

A sneer that didn't seem to be a laugh immediately drew Roy's gaze back: "Can't bear to part with it?"

"Or do you really not want to be alone with me?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess held her cheek with her hand, her face slightly gloomy, her eyes slightly fixed, and her eyelashes slightly raised, like a little red cat that was in a bad mood and sulking.

Fortunately, Roy, who had experience with the original work, had some ideas on how to coax a cat.

"Just kidding, it's just that being with a girl as beautiful as Charlotte, I can't help but feel a little nervous."

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess usually appears tough and arrogant in front of others, she is actually very innocent and it is absolutely right to praise her beauty.

Charlotte's expression immediately softened, and she looked away slightly. "You're still thinking of saying something like that. You seem quite energetic."

"That puts me at ease."

"Don't worry?" Roy pondered the thought for a moment, then said happily, "It seems Charlotte cares about me a lot."

"No, don't be so self-indulgent. It's just the princess's duty to care about her subjects. Who cares about you?" The arrogant look on Charlotte's face immediately collapsed. She turned her head slightly and started to complain.

The princess's duty—Roy was familiar with this rhetoric.

The position and responsibilities of a princess have bound Charlotte since she was a child, and her position prevents her from getting close to others like ordinary girls.

So whenever she cares about others, she would habitually use this set of rhetoric to hide her tenderness from others.

Otherwise, according to the princess's duty, she should visit all the injured noble children.

Although the girl didn't ask, Roy keenly noticed that her eyes fell on her bandages several times.

It seems that Charlotte really cares about herself.

Roy understood the friendship in his heart, smiled, and did not expose the girl's concealment.

But he felt a little sorry for Charlotte.

We had agreed to dance later, but it ended up being such a mess. Not only was the dress torn, but the birthday dinner will probably be a hasty one too.

Roy did not regret his decision, but he also felt guilty and regretful for breaking the contract.

"I'm so sorry about what happened today." Roy sighed softly.

"I'm sorry?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.

"Well, it's my fault for messing up the dinner."

However, the boy's apology, which he thought was sincere, had a completely different meaning in Charlotte's eyes.

The boy's melancholy profile was as moving as a work of art, but it also made Charlotte feel very uncomfortable.

I remember what Carl said to Roy at that time. Could it be that Roy was scolded?

Are you kidding me? !

He obviously didn't do anything wrong!

When Charlotte thought of this, a fire started burning in her chest. She couldn't calm down and couldn't help but stand up.

"You don't need to apologize! On the contrary, you should be proud of what you did today!"

"......What???"

Chapter 51: Pretty Cute

Roy's expression turned strange.

Breaking one's promise and being dishonest in front of a lady is clearly a huge stain, and you can't be proud of it no matter what, right?

But looking at Charlotte's serious expression, it didn't seem like she was mocking herself.

Before Roy could digest what she had just heard, Charlotte continued to passionately recount what she had seen and heard.

"You may not realize how much your actions have changed your reputation in the aristocratic circles!"

What a change!

Roy almost suffocated on the spot.

Does that mean everyone knows about my missed appointment? Isn't that too socially awkward?!

But Charlotte's next words made Roy more and more confused.

"For those who have been bullied by Lei An, you have vented their anger. For the elders who have a discerning eye, your tactful way of handling things is also recognized. Even those who hate you have to admit that you are no longer that useless young man! You have no idea how many girls are secretly sending you..."

Charlotte paused for a moment, "I secretly approve of your actions!"

Charlotte felt annoyed when she thought of those rich girls' frivolous comments about Roy. She naturally would not tell Roy about it.

But she hoped Roy understood that the promise made that day at sunset had been initially fulfilled.

Roy's efforts were not in vain, and he had no reason to feel sorry.

"All of this is Lei An's fault. That's why Lei An was thrown into jail and his playboys were expelled from the villa. But you are safe and sound."

"This has proven that in their eyes, you are no longer the evil young man who was compared to Leian Raymond!"

Charlotte's eyes were sparkling, and she spoke with great joy, as if she was the one who defeated Lei An.

But Roy didn't understand.

I understand the reason, and I am happy too.

But what does this have to do with my broken promise?!

Seeing Charlotte finally finish her words, Roy couldn't help but ask Charlotte, "I'm a little confused. What do you mean by this?"

Aren't we talking about dancing?

"Huh?" Charlotte stared at him in disbelief.

Under the red skirt, the black silk jade feet wrapped in burgundy high heels began to tremble impatiently.

It’s annoying. I’ve already said so much, and he still doesn’t understand?

Hmm, maybe I should be more straightforward?

Charlotte suddenly remembered the frivolous gossip of the noble ladies at the ball, and her tongue became tied.

"The little brother is so handsome" "Nice figure" "So fierce" "Ah, next time I will invite him to my house to spend a pleasant night"

How could I possibly say something so unladylike and unreserved?!

Although Charlotte is strong, she also lacks experience in communicating with men and is somewhat innocent.

She had a lot of theoretical experience but zero practical experience. She had never even held a man's hand, let alone how to express her affection to him.

But she didn't want to stop.

It's a good thing that Roy is recognized by others, but it will also attract more frivolous women to target him.

Besides, leaving those women aside, there was also a maid named Alice serving in front.

The intimate and ambiguous behavior between the two made the princess, who had never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood and was extremely talented, feel the so-called "envy" for the first time.

Seeing Roy's confused look, she didn't want to back down at this moment. The inexplicable excitement in her chest finally overcame her innocence and timidity.

She wanted Roy to know that she approved of him.

"I believe that standing up for others is a heroic and kind act of chivalry. At the same time, your measured actions and your ability to hold back in the face of power prove that you are not a reckless person and have not lost the dignity of a noble. So, that..."

Charlotte raised her head, squinted her eyes, and secretly peeked at Roy's expression.

She thought her compliments were direct enough.

But she didn't expect that Roy frowned, his face still full of confusion!

Roy has his own persistence.

What happened to Lei An was an unexpected situation, and it was different from breaking the contract.

Breaking a promise to a girl is one thing, but being praised for it is so weird, isn't it?!

"But even if you say that, I should still apologize to you for what happened tonight, right?"

Charlotte's mouth twitched immediately and she lowered her head.

The girl's shoulders trembled slightly, and her high heels swayed back and forth under her skirt. She looked like a volcano about to erupt.

But Roy continued: "So..."

"So, I just want to say that you don't need to apologize at all! Because you are a brave knight! You did the right thing today. No matter what others say, at least I stand by you! And you looked so handsome when you defeated Lei An tonight, and you looked so handsome when you answered questions fluently in front of the elders. Why are you looking so sad now? What a waste! "

Charlotte suddenly raised her head, no longer caring about being reserved, and let out all the emotions accumulated in her chest in one breath like a volcano erupting.

After a long while, she finally let out a long breath and looked over at me sullenly: "Do you understand now?"

Roy nodded blankly, but his expression was solemn.

how to say.

Charlotte was naturally happy that he was recognized so much, and even a little embarrassed.

But this still can't answer his doubts!

While Charlotte was catching her breath, Roy finally couldn't help but ask cautiously and tentatively, "So, what does everything you said have to do with my missed dance date?"

"...?"

"I appreciate your recognition of me. But I want to say that I'm sorry that I can't dance with you tonight."

"...Are you talking about dancing?"

"...Isn't it?"

Charlotte sighed softly, then picked up the bottle of red wine, poured herself a glass, raised it gracefully, and drank it all in one gulp.

What the hell did I say in front of him? ! ! ! !

'Brave knight' 'Stand by your side' 'Very handsome, very handsome, very handsome'

Charlotte covered her burning face with her hands, but her small hand could not hide the blush on her neck or even her earlobes.

At this moment, Charlotte wanted to die!

In comparison, Roy simply had an epiphany.

Tsk, no wonder we couldn't get the topic right for so long? It turns out we were never on the right track from the beginning!

But in that case, Charlotte wanted to say...

Seeing Roy begin to dwell on his shameful words, Charlotte's fury exploded. Flames of supernatural power floated from her red hair. She glared at him fiercely with tearful eyes, "Forget it! Forget what you just said!"

"Okay, okay." Roy waved his hand, but a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I clearly just wanted to praise myself, but I went around in such a big circle.

Your Highness, you are quite cute.

Chapter 52: Because the master is so awesome!

It took a long time for Charlotte to come back to her senses from her recent social frustration and put on a serious face again.

However, the lovely light pink that still remained on the girl's face told of the shame she had just felt.

As a gentleman, Roy would not laugh at the girl's socially awkward moment. He just felt that the princess could be so cute like a little girl when she was being reckless.

Of course, whether you are not a minister or a male friend, it is quite rude to say it directly.

"There's no need to apologize for the dance. After all, it was Lei An who caused the trouble, and it's not your fault. However, if you really want to apologize..."

Charlotte said this, casually playing with the ends of her hair, her eyes drifting over.

"You owe me for this dance. Just remember to make it up to me next time."

"Is it just a matter of making up for the dance?" Roy was somewhat surprised. "You don't need me to apologize or anything like that?"

Charlotte in the original work doesn’t seem to be so easy to talk to?

I remember there was a scene where Alice failed to make it to a date on time and was a little late, which made Charlotte very angry and she started to scold her.
