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

Although it is not as powerful as the Church of Holy Light, Roy is no longer alone.

With just a few letters, his girls would summon all the assistance he needed.

The Lionheart Kingdom and the Emerald Council will give their all and become his strongest backing. These two are completely his family.

The School of Magic will probably provide 50% of support, and 50% will stand by and watch - at most, 30% of the power will occupy his empire. After all, the relationship between the empire and the school has always been lukewarm. Even if he puts aside the influence of Lyanna and the Sage, he is still the winner of the Blue Trial.

The Sands Nation has connections with Brother Gross, so they'll do a little favor and come help out. As for the South China Sea Nation...

Strangely enough, Roy didn't ask them for help, but they insisted on coming uninvited.

When did the relationship between me and the South China Sea countries become so good?

But no matter what, his chips are enough to kill Winter.

Roy said to the imperial prince with false politeness, "Your Highness, you can see that so many friends are proving that I am not joking."

Looking at the representatives of different identities who were united behind the young man and almost symbolized the power of the entire Western Continent, Winter still kept a smile on his face, but a trace of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Even with the whole nation's strength, it is impossible for the empire to fail to capture a piece of the border.

But what if we have to face other forces?

Admittedly, it is impossible for all forces to come to provide armed assistance.

But the Lionheart Kingdom alone would make the empire vulnerable to attacks from all sides, not to mention that other forces could contribute money and manpower.

If a conflict really breaks out, the border of the empire will become a bottomless quagmire.

But......

why?

How could the son of a marquis achieve such a thing?

Yes, he had a close relationship with the princess, the nightingale and other beautiful girls, but that was just a superficial pleasure for the little boy!

Did he save their lives? !

Why would those girls, those forces, be willing to go against our empire just for Roy Ironblood?!

Winter couldn't understand.

The only thing he could figure out was that everything, whether it was Jon Snow or the Border, had gone off track and was far beyond his control.

Chapter 97: Unreasonable Desires

Reason told Winter that he had already lost.

It is not wise to confront Roy who has the support of many forces. The best choice at this moment is to endure humiliation and temporarily avoid the limelight.

However, he was unwilling to do so.

As a prince, as a man, he thought he had a sure win, but ended up with this result. How could he possibly accept this?!

Winter tightened the infatuation on his face, pointed at the black-haired boy and accused him: "Roy Ironblad, stop pretending!"

"What private tutor? You just have inappropriate thoughts about my cousin! It's not enough that you used the title of direct master and apprentice to get close to her in the academy, but now you want to take away her happiness?!"

Roy curled his lips and almost couldn't hold it back.

Still struggling? Well, I'll play along with you until the end.

"What you said is possible. But if it's just the two of us, there's no way we can tell who's going to win, right?

"Why not let Mr. Snow make his own choice?"

"Whether to marry His Highness Winter or become my private tutor, the wishes of the parties involved should be respected, right?"

Roy looked at the silver-haired girl on the stage with a smile.

Not only him, at this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the Ice Rose standing next to Winter, holding their breath, waiting for the final result of this battle.

But Jon Snow himself was staring at the black-haired boy in a daze.

She had no doubt that Roy would support her.

Last night's meeting and the warm encouragement really gave her courage.

But that was just spiritual encouragement.

Faced with the death trap set by His Highness Winter, she did not want to drag her beloved disciple, who already had a rough life, into the quagmire.

But Roy was far more capable than she imagined.

It not only brings her warmth, but also dispels the darkness and opens up a new path for her.

After a long snowstorm, a ray of light finally arrived before dawn.

And now, it's time for her to make a choice.

Under everyone's gaze, the silver-haired girl stood up and walked off the stage, taking light and graceful steps to the side of the black-haired boy.

She casually reached out and tightly grasped his arm. Only then did she look back at Winter and cast a cold glance at him.

"I choose him."

Winter's face darkened: "Cousin, please think carefully!"

"He is just the son of a foreign marquis, a brat still wet behind the ears..."

The silver-haired girl interrupted coldly, "I reiterate. I said I would choose him."

"If you don't understand, I'll keep talking until you do."

"Of course. I'm his personal mentor and private tutor, but I wasn't, and I won't be, your fiancée."

"As long as it's Roy, I don't care even if he has improper thoughts!"

The stern rebuke completely destroyed Winter's last hope. The clear voice echoed in the hall for a long time.

The outcome is decided. This is Jon Snow's final choice.

Then, the whole audience cheered.

The young people who didn't know the truth were drowned in gossip. The young masters were secretly happy, feeling that the prince had everything, power, wealth and good looks, but still ended up with nothing. They proposed to her with all their heart, but they didn't know that the other party was already tied down.

The young lady was impressed that the black-haired boy had such means and momentum that he could overpower the prince and successfully snatch the bride, and from then on she shifted her love interest to another person.

In their opinion, the prince's elaborate proposal was ultimately defeated by the boy and girl's true love.

And between the two major aristocratic forces, a bloody storm broke out.

With the support of the external forces brought by Roy, a group of border nobles changed their previous silence and denounced Winter's lackeys.

Britney was not polite at all and pointed at the other person's nose and called him an "incompetent lapdog."

Even the usually smooth and steady old Earl Barry sneered, "Miss Snow has made her decision. There's no need to rush about the title or the engagement. Everyone, do you have any other questions?"

The inland nobles gnashed their teeth, but were powerless to refute.

The clash between nobles always comes down to the number of chips at stake.

Now the other party has an overwhelming advantage in chips, so even if Britney calls them pigs, they can only hold it in.

After all, even their prince had become like that...

On the high platform, Winter's smile was stiff and his face was ashen. He looked at the silver-haired girl and the black-haired boy snuggling together and clenched his fists tightly.

With Winter's forced marriage completely destroyed, the panel arrived as expected.

After the banquet that night, Roy accompanied Jon Snow and climbed back to the top of Snowwind Castle.

The wind and snow continued, but the moonlight was so gentle that the silhouette of the silver-haired girl looked bright and hazy, her beauty seeming a little unreal.

But the cool and soft touch and the subtle fragrance of blue roses coming from beside me are so real.

Since leaving the party, Jon Snow has not let go of his arm.

"Sigh. I thought you were just encouraging me, but I didn't expect you could really stop Winter..."

"What a wonderful child."

Jon Snow turned around and gently rubbed his head, his tone mixed with pride and a hint of shame: "It's me, the mentor, who seems too incompetent."

"It's just because of my position and the situation I'm in that I'm somewhat limited. Besides, didn't Mr. Jon Snow save me before?" Roy deliberately teased, "Could it be that I was also incompetent when my life was hanging by a thread before?"

Jon Snow immediately frowned: "No way, as a Sequence 7, you are already excellent..."

"That's the truth." Roy snapped his fingers and said softly to the girl, "Teacher Snow, you've done a great job."

"......Um."

This time, Jon Snow didn't object.

The girl nodded slightly and sighed deeply, as if relieved of a heavy burden. She leaned her body completely against the boy, feeling his warmth, just like a tired snow wolf that finally found the only warmth in the cold night, and closed her eyes quietly.

As a mentor, you should always maintain a tall image.

But in front of Roy, there was no need to be nervous.

Whether strong or weak, he always gently tolerates everything about me and becomes my support.

After relaxing her tense nerves, the peerless face carved like snow was left with only the tenderness and purity behind Liang Xue's smile, which made Roy's heart skip a beat.

Jon Snow, who was completely defenseless and relaxed, was like a snowball that was about to melt, inexplicably adorable.

And the snowball on the chest inevitably rubbed against it, bringing a feeling of softness.

After facing Winter, Mr. Snow must be tired...

Unable to bear disturbing the other person's rest, Roy suppressed his shyness, looked away, and distracted the other person with a topic: "You clearly don't want to get married, but you've been entangled with that kind of guy for so long. It must be hard, right?"

"It's okay. But, correction. It's not that I don't want to get married, I just don't want to marry Winter." Jon Snow answered a little tiredly.

"Oh? So the teacher has other candidates for marriage?" Roy was really curious about which girl would be lucky enough to be chosen by Jon Snow in the current plot.

Following the boy's words, Jon Snow began to think vaguely.

With the mission of defending the Andrews family, Jon Snow devotes all his energy to improving himself and rarely considers his own happiness.

"Get married..."

What if the person in the lord's hall, kneeling on one knee, holding a diamond ring, expressing his love was not Winter, but him...?

Jon Snow's eyes snapped open.

The snowflakes were floating softly, but the ice-blue eyes captured the boy's figure.

Chapter 98: Your Highness, You Must Be Strong

As the daughter of a duke, shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family and defending the border, now is not the time to be thinking about love affairs...?

Although Jon Snow wanted to suppress his feelings by relying on responsibility, he suddenly realized the key point.

If they really marry Roy and get his support, it will be most beneficial to the Andvis family.

Do not!

When it comes to relationships, one shouldn't be overly concerned with gains and losses. Otherwise, what's the difference between oneself and someone like Winter Rose?

Besides, as a mentor, how could I possibly have any inappropriate thoughts about my own apprentice?!

From the beginning, Jon Snow remained silent, hesitant to speak, and stared at him straight, leaving Roy a little confused.

With [Waste Cold] on him, he was not afraid of the cold wind and was willing to wait.

However, before she knew it, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on her beautiful silver hair.

Because of her Ice Soul bloodline, Jon Snow's body temperature is so cold that even the snow that falls on her won't melt.

Roy subconsciously reached out to brush off the snowflakes for her, but unexpectedly, the silver-haired girl shuddered violently as if she had been electrocuted, hunched her shoulders, and let out a mournful cry like a frightened animal, then she suddenly ran away from him.

"Roy! No, you can't be rude to your mentor!"

"...Is it possible that I just wanted to help you brush off the snow?" Roy pointed to his head.
