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

"Look at you, Roy, you're so glorious now!"

The crowd dispersed, only to see Lei An glaring at them fiercely.

Compared to last time, Lei An had changed so much that Roy almost didn't recognize him.

His well-worn suit was slovenly unbuttoned, and his once messy but capable short hair had now grown to his ears. His eyes, staring intently at him, were bloodshot, with thick dark circles around the corners. His expression was fierce, but his body was sluggish, and his spirit was extremely weak, like a starving stray dog.

"After you've made me like this, no one can stop you from pursuing Charlotte. Are you satisfied now?!"

"But don't think Charlotte will be attracted to you just like that! You're nothing but a clown, a loser! A bastard who uses sweet words to deceive women!"

After listening to Lei An for a long time, Roy only replied with one word: "Huh?"

What is this guy talking about here?

Even if we take a step back, no matter what happens between me and Charlotte, what does it have to do with him?

Before Roy could say anything, someone on the side retorted.

"The useless young man from the Raymond family is here!"

"Oh, Lei An, my good brother, how come you are so thin?!"

"Don't talk too much! Have you forgotten that Lord Raymond is in solitary confinement? I guess the food in the prison is not to his liking!"

"Leian Raymond, you deserve it. What does Roy have to do with it?"

Lei An was so upset by everyone's criticism that his face turned red.

Among these people, there were those whom Lei An had bullied before, and some were just there for fun, but the one who made Lei An most angry was his little brother!

"Huck! Are you itching for trouble? How dare you disrespect me..."

Lei An's power was drowned out by the verbal attacks of the crowd and could not cause even the slightest wave.

In the past, he dared to do evil only by relying on force and power.

However, he no longer had any followers and was severely punished by Grand Duke Raymond. Most importantly, he had Roy, who was also the son of a founding knight, to support him.

One is a bad boy who was severely punished by his elders, while the other is the son of a marquis who is treated with courtesy by Her Royal Highness the Princess and is in the limelight recently. It is not difficult to choose which side to stand on.

Now that Lei An dares to show up, people naturally want to seek revenge and complain, while those who have no grudges or complaints come here to have some fun.

No matter how ferocious Lei An was, he no longer had the same prestige in front of the crowd. He was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he was powerless to do anything.

He clenched his fists several times, but when he recalled the excruciating pain that penetrated the man's soul when his most vulnerable part was hit, and recalled old Raymond's cold warning, he finally did not dare to make a move.

At this moment, there was another commotion among the crowd.

"Your Highness, it's His Highness who has arrived!"

Everyone here is a noble, and there is no need for knights to clear the way; people naturally make way for them.

Charlotte walked through the crowd and saw Roy at a glance. The corners of her mouth were about to rise, but because of the eager gazes of the crowd, she suppressed the corners of her mouth reservedly.

But the footsteps were light and brisk without stopping.

"Roy, I thought you weren't coming."

Roy felt relieved when he saw Charlotte. He forgot they were not alone and called her by her name. "How could that be? Charlotte is coming, so of course I'm coming too."

After hearing this, Charlotte was slightly stunned. Her face turned slightly red, her eyebrows slightly curved, and she looked cutely angry.

Putting aside the formalities of greeting, the conversation between the two was more natural than that between a king and his subjects, like that between friends of equal status.

Suddenly, there was a flurry of discussion among the people.

"Did you hear that? He called His Highness by his name!"

"No, when did they become so familiar with each other?"

Calling an unmarried lady by her name, calling Her Royal Highness the Princess by her name, no matter which level it is, it means an extraordinary intimacy!

But what shocked everyone even more was yet to come.

Charlotte moved closer to Roy, her brows furrowed slightly, and she spat softly, "Don't call me by my name in front of others."

"You mean I can call you in private now?" Roy used a joke to cover up his previous slip of the tongue.

"...You can do whatever you want in private." The girl looked away guiltily, and her indifferent attitude was Charlotte's greatest implicit approval.

Roy was only half right. Besides being shy, the princess also had a romantic fantasy about an ambiguous relationship.

Being distant as king and subject in public, but very close to each other in private, this is simply an indispensable plot in chivalrous romance novels!

The two of them just whispered a few words briefly.

But in the eyes of people who didn't know the truth, the two people's action of almost touching face to face seemed too intimate!

"Come on, I'll take you there!"

Charlotte smiled again and took Roy to the hunting grounds.

As soon as the two left, the accumulated discussions among the people finally broke out.

"Did you all see that?!"

"Well, that looks like..."

"Guess where they got to?!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness, you must be happy!!!"

"No, no, no, maybe they are just kings and ministers with a good relationship?!"

People were caught up in heated discussions and speculations, following the two men and had long forgotten about Rayan Raymond, who was all alone.

Lei An knelt on the ground, looking at Roy and Charlotte chatting and laughing from afar. He felt angry and wanted to curse out loud, but there was no one to argue with.

He finally realized that the greatest humiliation was not ridicule, but extreme indifference.

On the other side, Roy followed Charlotte to the hunting ground.

As he expected, Rayan was not a threat.

There is a similar scene in the original work. The little maid comes to play with Charlotte, but is ridiculed by the "evil boy Roy". Then Charlotte comes forward to support the little maid.

However, the clown character is now played by Ryan Raymond.

But this is just a minor episode and does not constitute a major crisis that triggers the node of defying fate.

If that’s the case, what is the fate-defying node that is related to Charlotte and threatens his own life?

Testimonials

Hello everyone, I am the author Li Feng.

This book will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tonight, and 20,000 words will be updated by then. We will witness the life and death of this book!

Thank you readers for your support. Without your support, this book would not be what it is today.

I would also like to thank the editor for giving me a lot of advice and guidance and inspiration when I was creating.

As the name of this book suggests, the core selling point is [pursuit].

Compared to the previous book, which was obsessed with Dihua and pretentiousness, I think this book will spend more time on the emotional lines and the creation of the girls.

But compared to the mindless ** style, the pursuit in this book has reasons, twists and turns, and is a gradual process.

For example, Princess Charlotte first became curious, began to pay attention, developed a youthful affection when they got to know each other privately, and finally experienced a little bit of evil and truly fell in love with Roy.

The plot ratio is about 70% pursuit of love Shura, and 30% pretentious and invincible.

At the same time, I also tried to portray the world view in more details and specificity, rather than the ambiguous and vague approach of fairy tales. After all, the world view of fantasy literature itself has a unique selling point.

Of course, as a fan of fantasy literature, I have always wanted to write a fantasy novel with a grand world view, but not now.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just as you eat one bite at a time, you should also write one book at a time.

The focus of this book will still be on the emotional line. Leveling up, fighting monsters, and exploring the world are just side dishes.

Regarding the pace, the first volume is slower than I expected, so I will speed it up a bit for the next volume.

Regarding Alice, this character is quite special and will have a lot of development scenes. I will try to prevent her from taking over the main plot and allow her emotional line to develop.

Readers are welcome to offer suggestions and point out shortcomings. After all, progress comes only with encouragement.

Here are answers to some questions.

First is the conventional armor stacking, qcqs without ntr.

1: Can you push girls?

Yes, readers of the previous book will understand that everything that should be there will be there.

If the relationship doesn't progress to a certain level, it will ultimately be just a cheap physical relationship.

Only when the relationship reaches that point can it be a beautiful union between lovers.

2Is the male protagonist a wooden man?

No. The male protagonist will misunderstand some actions, but they will only be funny plot misunderstandings.

He actually understands everything in his heart and is not a traditional Japanese wooden man.

However, the love story in this book is about young and innocent people, not about a scumbag and a love saint, and it is certainly not a stallion story that uses women as tools to conquer them, so the perception will be different.

3. How many words should I write?

The current plan is to have at least one million words, but it may be more depending on the situation.

After all, I planned to finish my last book at one million words, but ended up writing half a million more.

Feel free to ask any other questions you have, I'll do my best to answer them without spoiling the story.

Finally, thank you all for your support. I would like to ask for your collection and first subscription!

Please, your subscription is really important to me~

(ps: there is a discount for reservations)

The author here wishes everyone smooth sailing and good fortune, and may someone love you every day!

Chapter 73: Confused

According to what is displayed on the panel, the fate-defying node is related to Charlotte.

But Roy could be sure that Charlotte now had no hostility towards him.

This is strange. If Charlotte has no hostility towards him, where does the crisis of the Fate-Defying Node come from? And why is it related to Charlotte?

The original work only mentioned this hunting trip briefly, and there was no information worth referring to.

Roy had no choice but to be more vigilant and pay attention to any unusual events during this hunting trip.

Roy followed Charlotte to the hunting ground.

Outside the wide lawn, various small magical beasts roamed about. Inside the field, a row of fences lined the grounds, with shelves filled with a variety of hunting weapons for people to choose from.

When the people who were hunting saw Charlotte coming, they turned around and ran away.

No one wants to be compared to Charlotte and look like a loser.

Charlotte didn't care about those cowards. Her whole mind was on Roy. "This is a rare opportunity. Do you want to compete?"

Roy hesitated for a moment and said, "This isn't very good."

"Being modest again?"

Charlotte had just finished her encouragement when Roy said calmly, "Isn't it a bad idea for me to win, Your Highness?"

"Hey, you're quite arrogant." Charlotte was now completely interested and raised her hand to punch Roy with her pink fist.

Fighting spirit burned in the eyes of the Lionheart Princess. She pointed at Roy and said, "Since that's the case, let's play it big. Whoever loses must agree to one of the other's demands. Dare you?"

"I'm at your service anytime." Roy smiled faintly.

If he won, wouldn't that be a perfect excuse for him to do something that only appeared in chivalric romance novels?! Charlotte couldn't wait any longer.

Little did he know, Roy was thinking the same thing beneath his humble smile. He wanted to hear Princess Xia's cute meows again. If he could win, he'd better record it with a supernatural prop and use it as a ringtone...

After the two of them got to know each other better, such jokes were no longer harmful, and they both knew that the other party would not go too far.

But to the onlookers, this scene was like a classic re-enactment - the competitive young man wanted to compete with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but was eventually beaten to a pulp and fled in panic under the Princess's trash-like gaze.
