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

Unlike Jason, who seems bored and always wants to battle with others, Douglas has lived a life of intrigue since he was a child and is very tired.

It is always better to have less trouble than more. If the opponent is really too strong, he would rather retreat. Why bother to fight to the death?

Besides, is Roy really someone who desires hegemony?

Thinking back on his interactions with Roy, Jason really couldn't imagine why the young man who disdained fame and fortune would be obsessed with power.

"Douglas, are you scared?"

Douglas admitted that Jason had some truth in his point.

But he felt that Roy was not that simple!

During the Blue Trial, he was a man who had foreseen the future and made preparations long before the trial began, and noticed the cultists' attack earlier than the teacher!

Roy's vision is far longer than his own, and what Roy wants is far from being easily guessed!

Douglas didn't want to act rashly before figuring out the black-haired boy's true intentions.

Douglas sighed softly at this thought: "Don't provoke me. It's too early to make a conclusion on whether to fight or make peace. We can talk about the alliance later."

Prince Jinsha looked into the distance, his eyes a little vague.

The mess that he couldn't sort out was probably clear to Roy.

I don't know what the world looks like in Roy's eyes...

at the same time.

Roy was deeply impressed by the silver-haired girl with a ponytail, an apron, and rolled up sleeves, busy in the kitchen.

Is this the charm of a married woman?

Teacher Jon Snow, I like you!

At this moment, Roy began to understand Boss Cao's preferences.

Chapter 4 The Child Grows Up

Jon Snow's integration was unexpectedly smooth.

If nothing else, just because she can cook.

Unlike Charlotte and the others, Jon Snow has lived alone for many years as a teacher and has to take care of a Silver Wolf, so he cooks frequently. Although his cooking skills may not be very good, at least he can cook authentic Imperial cuisine.

No one will have a hard time with the person who feeds you.

At least not during mealtimes.

"how is the taste?"

"Perfect, even better than the food at the restaurant in Quiet Wind City!"

After taking a sip of the tomato oxtail soup, Roy's whole body was filled with a glow of happiness.

Apart from anything else, the bonus of a wife making it herself is definitely better than the restaurant, right?!

After receiving Roy's praise, Jon Snow's tense expression finally relaxed a little, his long and narrow snow-white eyebrows softened, and he also revealed a warm expression.

"Eat slowly, there's still a lot in the pot."

"Uh-huh!"

"Tsk." Lyanna on the side felt unwell.

The sister role that she had always played now fell to Jon Snow. Doesn't this weaken her competitiveness?

"I wonder who was so disgusted with the impure heterosexual encounters that he got so angry at his junior."

Lyanna's words made Jon Snow's face freeze, and even Roy stopped chewing.

But soon, Nia and Charlotte looked up at the same time.

"A truce during dinner!"

"Let the past be the past!"

Jon Snow's food was so popular that the two girls were able to briefly put aside their prejudices and join forces to fight the enemy.

Three against one, even though Lyanna was eloquent, she didn't dare to say much and was so angry that she was sobbing.

What a bunch of good-for-nothings! One mouthful of broth wiped out their fighting spirit! Is this the extent of your love for Roy?!

Just when Lyanna was about to crush the spoon in anger, Roy kindly advised: "Senior, you should try it too."

"Teacher Xue Nuo's cooking skills are quite good."

"No, just broth...?!"

Lyanna's words stopped abruptly, her throat trembling slightly.

It’s not because the broth is so fragrant.

It was because Roy held the spoon to her lips.

Any hesitation would be an insult to Roy, so Lyanna immediately lifted her hair, closed her eyes, leaned forward, and took the spoon into her mouth.

That's not all. She even deliberately used the slippery tip of her tongue to entangle Roy's spoon tightly until she licked it clean, and then she let go with satisfaction.

Then he raised the corners of his lips provocatively towards the other three and licked his lips.

"Indeed, Mr. Snow's cooking skills are really good~"

Charlotte and Nia's faces turned dark on the spot.

Jon Snow felt even colder, and the soup in his hand instantly lost its heat and was filled with ice.

His original intention was just to comfort his senior, but he didn't expect it to cause such a tragic scene. Roy really wanted to find a piece of tofu and hit his head against it to death.

"Lyanna, you're looking for trouble, aren't you?"

"I see you just don't want to have a good meal!"

"Roy, let me get you a spoon."

Charlotte nodded deeply: "Yes, how could Roy have touched this woman..."

Halfway through her words, Charlotte realized something was wrong and slammed the table, "Stop it! Don't shove your own spoon over there!"

The preface is withdrawn. It seems that Mr. Jon Snow’s integration is not so smooth.

To this day, Roy has developed the mentality of remaining calm even when faced with a mountain of collapse, ignoring the competition among women, and just focusing on eating.

By the time they had finished arguing, Roy had almost finished his dinner.

Roy wiped his mouth and began to change the subject: "By the way, I was wondering where we should go for the second grade school trip?"

Study trip.

A major event in the first semester of second grade.

The original purpose of the college was to broaden students' horizons and familiarize them with the customs and practices outside their hometowns.

But in Roy's opinion, it is just playing with public funds and collecting limited edition CGs.

This is a rare moment in the original novel where the 'evil boy Roy' doesn't interfere, so there's no need to worry about it, it's all about Alice and the heroine showing off their affection!

Although now I am eating the candy on Alice's behalf.

There are seven areas to choose from for this school trip, which happen to be the capitals of the seven major forces in the Western Continent.

In the original work, choosing which area to go to will unlock the CG of the corresponding character, but due to the relationship between himself and Charlotte and others, this problem has become complicated.

"If you're on a school trip, why not go back to your hometown? Uncle Carl misses you too..."

Before Charlotte could finish her usual boast, Nia complained, "Your abacus beads are sticking to my face!"

"Travel means visiting places you've never been before. Didn't you say you wanted to visit the Fairy Forest? Perfect..."

Nia was halfway through her sentence when Lyanna interrupted her: "Only children would be interested in school trips, right?"

The brown-haired girl bit her fingertips deliberately and cast a seductive glance: "As a mature man, instead of traveling, why don't you stay here and let me accompany you to have some adult fun?"

However, Jon Snow didn't play tricks. He looked Roy straight in the eye and said bluntly, "Wherever you go, I'll be with you."

Seeing the four of them glaring at each other unhappily, about to start a new argument, Roy took the initiative this time and said, "Sorry, I already have an idea."

Choosing either one is biased, the best choice is not to choose!

They all gave their choices just now, so the next step is to avoid their answers perfectly.

When it comes to traveling, the country of the South China Sea and the country of golden sands are both good choices.

However, considering that Charlotte and her friends almost overturned the island when they went to the South China Sea last time, Roy suspected that he had been blacklisted by the local tourism department.

"I want to go to the land of golden sands."

Although they were a little dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything because they didn't favor anyone.

However, in addition to Charlotte and the others, Roy has not forgotten another little one who needs care.

The little blonde maid has been silent and eating quietly since the meal started.

"Alice, this school trip..."

"Master, actually, Alice already has an appointment for this school trip."

"Ugh?"

Roy was stunned, his mind went blank, and even the spoon fell to the ground.

He originally wanted to say that if Alice wanted to travel somewhere else, she didn't need to worry about him.

But the little maid didn't even bother to pay any attention to me! How could that be?!

"Master, you must be very busy to accompany so many people." Alice said lightly, her tone natural and smooth: "Don't worry, Alice will take good care of herself."

"A date? Who are you with..."

"Vanilla and Chocolate, we have an appointment to go to the South Sea Kingdom."

"That's it."

Ahhh. Has the child finally grown up?

Going out with friends or something like that, such a legitimate reason cannot be stopped at all!

No, why would you stop me? I'm just hanging out with friends of the same age and sex...

Roy scratched his head, suppressed his restlessness, and smiled heartily: "Then go ahead."

"Ah."

The blonde maid nodded slightly, lowering her brows. Although she had gotten what she wanted, she was not very happy. She drank the broth without any taste.

No one knew that beneath the lace pleated skirt, a pair of small feet in white socks drooped listlessly, like wilted flowers.

Chapter 5: Give it a push!

In the darkness, Alice, with her blonde hair loose, curled up in her arms, sat alone on the bed, sighing slightly tiredly.

Is this good enough?

As a maid, I have already received enough happiness from my master. How can I still have strange feelings for him and even disturb his happiness?

The host is already busy enough with so many people accompanying him on the school trip, and I can't go and cause him more trouble.

All along, my overly gentle master has caused me to have unrealistic fantasies.

After all, I'm just a maid.

Taking this opportunity, I should learn to be an ordinary maid and keep the proper distance between master and servant.

As a maid, it is natural to uphold the rules of hierarchy and silently dedicate yourself. How can you still expect to go further and have unrealistic wishes?

It should be a matter of course.

But......

The encounter with the master, the master's gentle gaze, the master's praise, and the master's adaptation of the fairy tale "Gray Maid".

Although I was trying to suppress the impulses in my mind with calm thoughts, all of this lingered in my heart like fireflies on a summer night, and could not be shaken off.

To be honest, the master didn't try to keep me.
