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

got rejected.

I was rejected by Roy!

Even when we were on a blind date and our relationship was at its weakest, he never rejected me!

A single rejection from your loved one can be so devastating.

The bitterness of grievance surged up, and a faint blush appeared at the corners of her eyes, making her delicate, picturesque, and proud face look pitiful.

"No, don't get me wrong." She forced a smile and said in a suppressed, hoarse voice, "I just think that you've been resting for so long, you should go outside and breathe some fresh air occasionally."

"I don't mean anything else, okay?"

Although Charlotte felt pitifully wronged, in Roy's eyes, it was a different story.

After all, in his current memory, there is no concept of "tsundere".

The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, his head tilted back, his voice was deep, and his expression was quite unnatural. Not to mention the far-fetched excuse that was clearly intended to cover up the truth.

It's just like a lion gritting its teeth and ready to bite anyone at any time!

You definitely have other intentions! And you're interested in me!

However, considering that if he refused now, he would be shot in the head by the Flame Fist, in order to delay time, Roy had to change his mind and agree.

"You have a point."

"Well! Let's go now!"

In just a second, Charlotte's worry turned into joy, and her brows were filled with happiness.

The brilliant smile was like a flower blooming in spring, so beautiful and gorgeous that it made Roy feel dazed for a moment.

The two rode their respective griffins and headed for the snow forest outside Quiet Wind City.

For some reason, the crimson griffin kept trying to get closer. Roy, wary of Charlotte, naturally didn't want to get too close, but no matter how hard he pulled, the crimson griffin wouldn't listen and kept getting closer, so that he and Charlotte were almost shoulder to shoulder.

At the same time, Jon Snow, Lyanna, and Alice, all wearing white cloaks, followed secretly, using binoculars to observe the movements of the two to ensure that Charlotte always abided by the dating rules.

"By the way, wearing so little, it must be a bit cold, right?" Charlotte couldn't help but frowning when she saw the boy wearing only a thin vest without even a coat.

Glancing away, Charlotte pinched the ends of her hair and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I really can't do anything about you. Come closer, I'm still quite warm."

"Didn't I explain it just now? I have the ability to avoid the cold, so this is nothing." Roy waved his hand, still a little hesitant to get close.

The excuse failed, and Charlotte was so angry that she stamped her feet secretly.

Lyanna couldn't help but laugh after witnessing all this.

She could guess what was said between them just by looking at their expressions, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so funny. A junior high school girl is a junior high school girl, she's so slow even holding hands. If it were me, I would have already...?!"

Halfway through her words, the corner of her mouth twitched.

Because Charlotte grabbed the boy's arm and snuggled into his arms!

With a "crack", the telescope in her hand was crushed to pieces. Lyanna frowned and pretended to be disdainful: "Haha, nothing more than that."

Chapter 148: Hit

The moment he was pressed against her, Roy's heart skipped a beat.

He thought he was about to be ripped out of his heart by the black tiger, and he unconsciously tensed his body, even his dragon scales instinctively emerging.

But in fact, what he received was not a piercing blow, but a soft and gentle touch.

Roy looked at the girl in his arms in confusion, but the girl looked away and muttered lightly, "Don't get me wrong, you're not cold, I'm cold."

"Don't complain, okay? You're a gentleman after all. It's only natural for you to be considerate of the princess at a time like this, right?"

Although she kept talking tough, her petite body kept burrowing into his arms softly.

How could a fire-type transcendent be cold? Charlotte was now wearing a lightly draped military jacket, black stockings over her knees under her short skirt, and was completely dressed in summer clothes.

The girl's pretty face was flushed, she looked charming and shy, but she snuggled up to me tightly. She was obviously not afraid of the cold wind, but she showed a reassuring smile on her face, like a kitten around the fire on a cold night.

No matter how slow-witted he was, he should have been able to see through her true intentions.

Only then did Roy realize that the throbbing in his heart just now was not fear, but an instinctive heartbeat.

The other party is indeed a proud princess of a great kingdom, a lion king who will one day stand at the top of the continent and look down on all the heroes.

But in front of him, she was just a clingy little red cat who was a little insincere.

"What, what's wrong? You are not allowed to say you don't want to." She tried to maintain her dignity in her words, but her scarlet eyes were already filled with anxiety, and even her tone was much softer, like begging, or like acting coquettishly.

It was more like a little red cat constantly fiddling with his heart with its soft little claws.

"It's not that I don't want to."

Roy took the initiative to hug Charlotte's arm and smiled slightly: "I'm glad you saw through me. Actually, I'm a little cold too."

"I'll just say it!"

The smiling girl was no longer shy and leaned towards him more confidently.

Roy wasn't really saying anything. The Empire's cold winter, even with [Winter Protection] on, still felt a bit chilly. To him, it was like being in the cool autumn, needing a coat.

The faint morning light makes the snow-covered forest even more crystal-clear, as if you have stepped into the most beautiful painting in winter.

Holding the warm and soft girl who was like a warm little stove in his arms, Roy strolled in the quiet and elegant snow forest, bathing in the girl's warm fragrance and the fresh air in the forest. He felt that his body and mind were healed by a little bit of warmth.

The bits and pieces of the lustful girl's past hidden deep in her memory seemed to be illuminated by the flames bit by bit, blooming with brilliance.

"That's in front..."

Charlotte suddenly stopped, squatted slightly, and her eyes became alert.

Following her gaze, Roy spotted a huge brown bear.

The polar brown bear, the most common and ferocious beast in the Empire's wilderness, is also the exclusive mount of the Winter Guard. Like the Gale Griffin, an adult brown bear possesses at least Sequence 7 strength.

However, polar brown bears in the wild are more ferocious than those raised in captivity.

Especially those wandering around in the winter, most of them woke up from hibernation early because of insufficient food storage. When they are hungry, the ferocity of these beasts will be even higher, and they dare not even challenge Sequence 6.

This is all the knowledge Roy learned from Jon Snow's casual conversation.

If an ordinary girl encountered such a situation on a date, she would probably be terrified. In fact, every year, many young men and women encounter brown bears while dating in the countryside in winter and suffer tragic consequences.

It's such bad luck. It's so rare for me to meet such a thing on a date.

Frustrated, Roy was about to remind Charlotte to retreat quietly, but unexpectedly, Charlotte turned around and said excitedly, "What good luck."

"?"

"It's a good opportunity to stretch your muscles and treat them as rehabilitation. Do you still remember how to hunt?"

"I remember..."

"Want to see who can hunt that guy first?" Charlotte raised her hand and drew a flaming longbow, then said arrogantly, "The loser will be punished!"

"Hey, wait!"

Before Roy could dissuade her, Charlotte jumped out.

He was originally worried that Charlotte would bring danger by committing suicide, but the moment the arrow flew out, Roy gave up the idea.

A Sequence 6 arrow was no joke. The crimson flames gathered into a stream of light, and the moment it flew out of the bowstring, it set off a huge heat wave, shaking the air sharply.

The polar brown bear was delighted to see a small biped swaggering out and was grateful for the gift from nature.

Every winter, there are two-legged beasts that try to hunt it with a sliding tackle, but they always end up in its stomach.

Until the terrifying red flames flew over his head and blew a large area of ​​forest into charcoal, the brown bear was in a state of illness.

It turns out that it is a gift from nature!

Even the most ferocious bear is not brainless. Knowing it cannot win, it has to run away.

Charlotte hurriedly drew her longbow and urged, "What are you waiting for? Chase!"

That fierce look reminded Roy of the scene where she broke the wall with one punch.

Sure enough, the Lionhearted Princess is still a violent lion at heart!

But anyway, she was hunting a bear, not herself, so what was so scary?

The chirping and impatient look is like a little lion chasing a ball of yarn. It is fierce and cute, and quite adorable. There is nothing wrong in playing with her.

"I'm coming!"

Roy casually projected an iron bow and followed Charlotte's footsteps.

If the brown bear knew that the boy used the word "cute" to describe the terrifying monster wrapped in flames, he would probably curse out loud on the spot.

The forest kept recalling the sounds of bursting red flames, sharp iron arrows, and the breathless howling of a brown bear.

Seeing her own forest being turned into a mess, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but feel speechless: "Do they have to be so violent every time they go on a date?"

"It's such incomprehensible fun." Lyanna was also enlightened and had a new understanding of dating among the people of the kingdom.

That's about it...

He shot another arrow casually. Seeing that the boy's movements were becoming more and more sophisticated and skillful, and he had regained his old touch, Charlotte's movements slowed down instead.

Anyway, this guy has almost gotten used to his supernatural powers.

In fact, if Charlotte wanted to, she could end the battle with one arrow.

But this opportunity is rare, and Roy should be allowed to practice and regain his proficiency in his extraordinary abilities.

Besides, he looks really handsome when shooting arrows...

Unfortunately time is limited.

It seemed that the little bear could hardly run anymore.

"It's almost over. The next arrow will decide the outcome."

Charlotte raised her voice and was about to lock onto a distant target, but inadvertently, she was caught in the sight of the young man's heroic figure.

He pulled the bowstring smoothly, his black eyes focused on the distance, like an exquisite sculpture.

My own knight is indeed very handsome.

The moment the arrow left the string, Charlotte felt that her heart was also hit and became his trophy.

No, it would be more accurate to say that he had been hit a long time ago.

Two arrows flew past at the same time.

The scorching arrow hit the poor brown bear, and it died, but Roy's steel arrow fell into the snow elsewhere.

Chapter 149 How does a bad woman win?!

"You let it slip."

Seeing that the other party had deliberately missed the target, Charlotte frowned in dissatisfaction.

Roy scratched his head.

Seeing that the girl was so happy, I thought of giving her some slack, but I didn't expect that this would make her unhappy.

No, Charlotte was competitive by nature, so she was definitely not happy about being let down. But that was precisely why Roy was even more confused.

"Why are you letting me go? I don't need you to let me go...!"

"Should I ask you this?"

Under the girl's questioning, Roy took a bold step forward and raised the corner of his mouth with a smile.

Charlotte's momentum was interrupted, and she was even more panicked by the sudden shortening of the distance. She stepped back and bumped into a tree.

"Charlotte is the one, why would she let him win on purpose?"

"I, I didn't—"

Although the girl tried hard to straighten her face and restore her dignity, Roy raised his hand and lifted her chin, and her efforts were in vain.

Her delicate body trembled, and except for her eyebrows that were trying hard to stare at her, her whole face went soft.

"But you were peeking at me, weren't you? Was it intentional or accidental?"

"I didn't mean it!"
