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

As soon as she finished speaking, the little maid walked into the bedroom.

The suite only had one bedroom, so the girls slept together in the bedroom and Roy slept on the sofa.

I could vaguely hear the laughter of girls playing and joking inside, but I couldn't hear Alice's voice.

The milk is a little cold.

Actually, Roy doesn't like milk that much.

After drinking the last bit of milk, Roy looked in the direction where the girl went away and fell into deep thought.

I have no interest in dancing...

Recalling the time when the two of them were practicing dance, the blonde girl dancing in the warm afternoon sun, her figure sparkling brightly, Roy smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Well-behaved, sensible, yet so clumsy.

He is very frugal with words when expressing his true feelings, but he is always reluctant to say much when trying to hide his feelings.

Are you worrying too much? That's not the case.

It was obvious that I cared too little about Alice.

--------

The prince's bedroom.

The Sand Shadow Guard, whose face still had bruises and burns, was half-kneeling on the ground, reporting to Douglas.

In fact, after everyone returned to the suite, the surveillance of the [Shadow Guard] was actually better than nothing.

There are limits to secretly observing potential allies. Invading their privacy too much is undoubtedly rude, not to mention that those people are very powerful and they will definitely be discovered if they go deep into the room.

Therefore, the surveillance by the [Shadow Guard] at night is more like secret protection to prevent anyone from doing harm to Roy and his group.

Douglas didn't expect to get any valuable information, but unexpectedly he heard something surprising.

"Roy howled?"

"That's right. Very..." [Shadow Guard] wanted to say miserable, but for the sake of the other person's image, he had to change the word to "very hard."

"Why exactly are you wailing?"

"I don't know about that. The suite is very soundproof, so I could only vaguely hear Roy and the others seeming to be arguing with each other."

Douglas frowned at first, but then he looked relieved and let out a breath.

dispute?

Could it be that Roy was trying his best to persuade them to cooperate with the Kingdom of Sands, even going so far as to argue with his lover and representatives of various forces?

Even though the other party did this out of personal gain, Douglas was still deeply moved.

Mr. Roy, you really appreciate our country of golden sands!

All my efforts have not been in vain!

"And today's expense bill for Roy and his group, please review it, Your Highness."

Douglas took the bill and the smile on his face froze instantly.

The Sequence 6 guardian beast was killed instantly, the roasted salamanders specially provided for the royal family were devoured, along with the Blue Moon Chamber of Commerce's co-branded long skirt, Platinum Workshop's high-end jewelry, and even a custom-made dress for a member of the royal family...

Even a wealthy man like Douglas was shocked by the spending of Roy and his group.

After all, no amount of money can be brought by the wind.

However, he has his own way to solve it.

"Report this to the Ministry of Finance."

"Your Highness?"

"Roy and his group's entertainment concerns the future of our country of gold and sand. This is a national affair, not my personal matter, and should be solved by the national treasury!"

Compared with the potential benefits of the alliance of various forces, this small amount of money is nothing to worry about!

Chapter 20 Where is Alice, who is my age?

The last night of the school trip.

A huge bonfire was lit in the square of Wind and Sand City. Starting from this, a small circle of bonfires was lit around it, spreading out layer by layer, like red stars reflected on the earth.

"Before the sun sets, the stars fade, the west wind dies, and the moonlight fades, dance with the fire! May the bond between you burn eternally like a bonfire!"

The beautiful priestess recited the legends of the Kingdom of Golden Sands that have been passed down to this day under the high platform next to the campfire, and also sent out the best wishes for the present.

As the western-style music floated in the wind, men and women who had been unable to wait any longer joined hands in dancing, enjoying this wonderful night to the fullest.

The ever-burning flame blesses all dancing souls equally, regardless of status. It has nothing to do with the goddess, but is the hope of the people of the Land of Golden Sands for a better life from generation to generation.

And now, they generously share this hope with everyone who is lucky enough to dance with them.

Among them are students on a school trip, local residents, young lovers who have just met, and couples who have been partners for a long time.

Of course, there are also people who try to wander between the campfires, looking for a chance encounter.

Women who are alone are their best prey.

It is rare to see single women at this kind of party. Even if there are, they are mostly of poor condition because they have difficulty finding a partner for various reasons.

But at this Wind and Sand Dance Party, there were a few stunning figures that made all the other beauties pale in comparison.

Some have figures as gorgeous as fire, while others have steps as light as the wind.

Either the phantom is enchanting and charming, or the silver hair is floating like snow.

I don’t know how many young men who think they are good-looking would put on ties, have their hair done, and rush forward to hunt for beauties excitedly.

Unfortunately, their actions often end before they begin.

Whenever someone tried to approach the figures, a dark shadow would whisper devilish words into their ears.

"Mr. Boli, you don't want your father to know that you sneaked out of the house, do you?"

"Eric, if you dare to hit a girl at a party again, I'll break your legs!"

"Ms. Chick, I have no intention of offending your sexual orientation, but those women are far beyond your reach. If you don't want your husband to know that you're messing around, I suggest you stop now!"

Come with excitement and leave in a hurry.

After being exposed one after another, who would still want to chat up someone?!

After confirming that no one disturbed Roy and his group, Douglas, who was hiding in the dark, nodded with satisfaction.

The last night must leave them with a good impression of the Kingdom of Sands!

Some people of high status have already vaguely guessed the identity of the [Shadow Guard]. Even though they are extremely covetous, they are afraid of Douglas's protection and dare not be rude in the slightest.

However, it’s nice to just look at it from a distance and feast your eyes.

Who doesn’t like to look at beautiful women?

However, they soon lost interest in watching it.

Because, the black-haired boy in a suit finally arrived.

The four beautiful figures rushed forward impatiently, and after a brief debate, they danced with him one by one.

This, this is not right, right?

Where's the [Shadow Guard]? The important foreign guest you were protecting has fallen into their hands! Save him!

The unattainable figure, turns out to have already been taken, and it’s the same owner!

For a moment, everyone was in tears, blinded by the lemon.

Of course, no one among the [Shadow Guards] would be foolish enough to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince's distinguished guests.

Roy and his group's Fenghuo evening party was a complete success.

Several girls decided the order of dancing by rock-paper-scissors, put on their dresses and newly bought gold jewelry, and took turns to spend this unforgettable time with him.

"I heard that a little kiss at the end will make the blessing of wind and fire last longer. Well, it's a rare opportunity, so when in Rome, it's better to follow the local customs. If you want to kiss, I don't mind, okay?"

"Junior, you're such a pervert. It's okay to look at your breasts when you get back, right? Now, I'd rather you look into my eyes..."

"Oh my, it's finally my turn! I just drank some sea buckthorn juice, it was so sweet, do you want to try it~"

"It's a shame that I couldn't be the first to dance with you, but it's not bad to leave you with my taste in the end."

It’s not enough just to dance.

I don't know where they heard the rumor that kissing can strengthen the blessing, but they insisted on kissing each other one by one.

In this regard, Roy had no choice but to satisfy them one by one. After dancing with the four girls in a row, he ended each girl's dance with a kiss that suited their respective preferences.

After dancing four songs in a row, I feel a little tired.

After witnessing this scene, a group of single men finally couldn't hold it anymore and fled the scene one by one, covering their blinded eyes.

No, this isn't the way to abuse a dog, is it? 1v4, there's clearly something wrong with the matching mechanism!

However, apart from them, there was another equally lonely figure in the corner.

The black-haired boy danced happily, leaning over to kiss her, his figure appearing in the girl's light blue eyes again and again.

At some point, the feet in the strappy high-heeled sandals were nailed to the ground, and the beautiful and luxurious light gold dress seemed to be overshadowed.

The owner is really happy when he is with them.

A slight blush, yet dazzling and brilliant, was an expression she had never shown in front of him before.

An expression that only appears when looking at them.

The master is so gentle that I let myself be immersed in it, but now, I should remember it.

I remember the pain I felt when I witnessed their kiss.

A familiar sour feeling surged from her chest, almost suffocating Alice.

But she didn't make a sound, as if she didn't want to disturb the figure in the distance.

After stunning everyone passing by, Alice did not go any further. She just bit her lip silently, turned around and left, walking alone into the night that was beyond the reach of the ever-burning bonfire.

On the other side, after dancing with the girls one by one, Roy finally realized that something was wrong.

When we left, Alice did say she would be back later because she needed to change her clothes.

But no matter what, it's too late, right?

The everlasting flame is just a saying; it is impossible to keep dozens of bonfires burning forever.

Seeing that the bonfire was about to burn out and the party was about to come to an end, Roy finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to wander around, looking for Alice.

"Eh? Alice hasn't come yet? There's nothing we can do. We should go back and check."

Charlotte and others who learned about this also got involved.

However, before Roy could hear any news from Alice, he ran into another familiar figure.

"Good evening, Mr. Roy. Did you have a good time tonight?"

"It was a great pleasure. The seniors were really nice to host us. Charlotte and the others also said that the Kingdom of Golden Sands is a really great place."

Douglas's lips curled up slightly, but in fact he was extremely happy.

He had been in the dark for a long time and noticed that Charlotte and others were smiling. Now that he had received Roy's personal acknowledgement, his heart finally settled down.

Our country of sand has hope of joining the alliance!

Douglas was naturally unwilling to neglect the hero who made all this possible, and he wanted to drag him into the palace and set up another table.

But this made Roy feel troubled.

Senior Douglas is a good man, and I should thank him for his care this time, but right now the little maid is more important.

"Thank you for your hospitality, but I have something to do..."

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to evade the offer, Douglas's eyes flashed with a gleam and he suddenly rushed over.

"Mr. Roy, there's no need to be so polite. If you need any help, please speak up!"
