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

Compared to the high and mighty princes and nobles, or the saints who are so cold and aloof that they seem out of touch with the world, the elven girls are the dream lovers of every adventurer, and are more in line with the exciting adventure.

The descendants of the elves of the Emerald Council rarely appear outside the Elf Forest, so the moment the nightingale-like girl appeared, countless adventurers were thrilled and felt that they had encountered the romance that belonged to adventurers.

Everyone put down their wine glasses, dropped their commissions, and even paused the battles between men, glancing at the emerald green figure.

"Ms. Nia, thank you for the hard work!"

"Hey, it's nothing."

"Then according to the procedure, congratulations, from now on you are officially an A-rank adventurer!"

Just a few words exchanged, but everyone was stunned.

When the emerald elf looked back at them with a smile, these adventurers no longer had the courage to pursue, let alone the guts to harass the nightingale-like girl.

The level of bloodline only represents the potential upper limit, the title of nobility only represents the nobility of birth, and extraordinary power is not achieved overnight. Only the level of adventurer is based purely on strength and does not tolerate any falsehood.

As the guild's frontline force, A-rank adventurers are at least Sequence 7, and the strongest may even be Sequence 5. In any case, they are existences that they dare not offend.

Seeing those rude adventurers lower their heads in embarrassment, Nia withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and turned to the receptionist again.

"Can I strive for S-rank next?"

"this......"

The poster girl said helplessly, "To have reached Sequence 5 at such a young age, Miss Nia is truly remarkable."

"But S-rank is too difficult."

"Either you reach a high level and become a legend, or you make a great contribution to the guild and even the human world, just like that Sword Ghost last year."

Nia was not discouraged. She happily took the updated adventurer's ID card and showed it off to her companions.

"Did you hear that, Sister Nana? People say I'm amazing."

"You girl..."

Natasha grumbled, ordered a glass of mead, and holding the glass, she was amused at first, but still praised: "They are not wrong."

"These past few months of training have indeed yielded considerable results. Leaping from Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 was incredibly fast."

"Thank you very much." Nia said modestly, but her smile was as bright as a flower.

After taking a sip of the water, Natasha suddenly sighed like an elder, "By the way, I never thought you'd be able to make progress one day, huh?"

"When you first asked me to accompany you on your journey to gain experience, I thought you were cursed by some evil wizard and that something was wrong with your brain."

"Hey, who do you take me for? I'm not always a bad person, okay?"

Nia snatched Natasha's glass and drank it all in one gulp. She held her cheek in annoyance and swallowed the wine, but she was really helpless to do so.

If possible, she also wants to give up.

The problem is that there are just a few kings of the roll!

Lyanna and Jon Snow were already ahead of her in bloodline level. Alice had recently entered Sequence 5, and it was only a matter of time before she reached Sequence 4. Even that flat-chested dwarf with a bad temper was one level higher than her!

No, we're just dating, why are we comparing our strengths behind the scenes?! You're all so strong, and I'm the only one stuck at Sequence 7. Doesn't that make me look weak?!

This, this won’t do!

If this continues, I won't even be able to win a fight in the future. Won't I just become their pushover?!

In order to gain the initiative in the future battle for family status, and to prevent Roy from looking down on her for being too weak, Nia couldn't stand it anymore and decided to secretly become stronger and surprise everyone!

After breaking through Sequence 6 and entering the Intermediate Stage, he then entered Sequence 5 through a brutal life-or-death experience. This speed of advancement has surpassed Charlotte, and surpassing Alice is only a matter of time! After surpassing the remaining two who have the advantage of age, his rise to the head of the harem is just around the corner!

Just ask them who is as capable as us? !

"Hehe, I also want to become stronger and help Roy and the others." Nia finally found a more noble reason.

Natasha ordered another glass of wine, and her eyes became a little blurry with tears as she sipped. "Well, you have really grown up."

Looking at the other person's touched expression like an old mother, Nia's mouth twitched, and she finally swallowed the truth that she wanted to become stronger in order to compete for men's beauty.

"We've been traveling for so long, I don't know how Roy and the others are doing."

It's not difficult to get information from the Adventurer's Guild.

With the title of A-rank adventurer and the beauty of an elf girl, Nia didn't even spend a penny to learn the latest information about the kingdom from several respectful and even fawning guys.

The elf female adventurer, who is both powerful and beautiful, is not from the same world as them, so it is inevitable that she feels a little excited when she is actively spoken to.

"It has ended?"

"A dragon-slaying hero? He killed the dragon?!"

"Hehe, he's worthy of being the man I've chosen. He's really good at the critical moment!"

Nia's mumbling shattered the fantasies that had just emerged in the minds of the young men.

If someone really has his eyes on the dragon-slaying knight of the Lionheart Kingdom, the number one prodigy in the Western Continent, then they should just go to bed.

but......

"Miss Nia, didn't you know that the dragon-slaying knight has proposed to the Lionheart Princess?"

"......ah?"

The smile on Nia's face instantly disappeared.

"Not only that, I heard that the Saint of White Harbor has also arrived in the capital and is entangled with the Dragon Slayer!"

Nia's eyebrows began to tremble.

"How long ago was this news?" Nia asked after taking a deep breath.

Several adventurers exchanged glances before one cautiously replied, "A month... ago?"

Nia's eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.

Chapter 116 If Time Stops Here

The balcony of the Red Castle has a pleasant scenery and a broad view, and can take in most of the royal capital.

After more than a month of construction, large areas of ruins have been rebuilt, people's faces are filled with smiles, and the entire city is visibly regaining its vitality.

I believe the same is true outside the royal capital.

The Third War Against Dragons, the most critical and perhaps the final war against dragons, was finally over. The Lionheart Kingdom was freed from the threat of dragons and moved towards peace.

The vast majority of the Kingdom’s citizens would think so.

Roy wanted to think so too.

But being in a high position, one cannot escape the truth.

The revival of [World-destroying Disaster], the dark hand that wants to take advantage of the disaster.

The remains of the Grim Reaper were previously acquired by the church.

The mastermind behind this is in collusion with the imperial family. He has the ability to steal the power of the god of death from the church, and this time he has driven the dragon clan to start a war.

Roy had a vague feeling that the current peace would not last long, and the turmoil in the kingdom was just the beginning.

At the foot of the city, the cat maid who was walking with him waved to him.

Roy smiled back.

Unexpectedly, the chatting nobles, patrolling castle guards, and passing palace maids all looked at him with respect or admiration, leaving Roy speechless.

I just came here to enjoy the scenery, why are you guys making such a big fuss?!

This made him realize once again that he was no longer a genius with a false reputation, but a genuine hero of the kingdom and a dragon-slaying knight.

Gain divinity, step into a higher level, and transcend the extraordinary.

He indeed possessed the power he had always dreamed of, enough to control his own destiny, become a top-tier figure on the continent, and truly create a legend.

However, the corresponding responsibilities are also increasing day by day.

When the sky falls, I will have nowhere to retreat and will be the first group of high-level strong people to take up the responsibility.

Alas, it seems that the days of living comfortably and eating free meals will have to be postponed?

"Why are you here alone?"

Looking back, as he expected, Charlotte was coming towards him.

Charlotte looked over, and within two seconds, she asked sharply, "Are you worried about the future?"

"Is it that obvious?" Roy touched his face.

"I guessed it." Charlotte was in a good mood, and even raised the corners of her mouth a little proudly.

"I just think that even if you reach a high level, you can't become complacent."

Roy clenched his fists, calm and resolute. "Besides the Holy Light Church, there's another mastermind behind this. We're still a long way from true peace. I must continue to acquire divinity, improve my bloodline, and gain more power."

The boy's resolute expression was tinged with the breeze and madder color, reflected in his crimson eyes. Just like the protagonists described in all knight novels, he was brave and fearless, and was admired by everyone.

There is no princess who would not yearn for a handsome knight, but Charlotte is well aware that behind those seemingly handsome speeches lie countless life-and-death situations.

Only princesses yearn for knights, but Charlotte was never a princess.

The delicate palm fell on the clenched fist, warm and powerful.

Under Roy's somewhat surprised gaze, Charlotte looked away and hummed softly, "What's there to worry about? Don't you still have me?"

"Do you think you're the only one who wants to advance to a higher level? You don't think my limit is only Sequence 4, do you?"

The girl's desire to walk side by side with him was like a bright flame that ignited Roy's heart, causing him to smile.

That’s right, I am no longer alone now, and I am not without someone to rely on.

Even if it is a [world-destroying natural disaster], you don't have to bear it alone.

"Instead of worrying about future threats, it's better to enjoy the present peace. By the way, you still have the leisure to worry here. Have you forgotten something very important?" Charlotte narrowed her eyes, which was a clear indication.

"Although, although it's already a fait accompli between us, the necessary ceremonies and steps still need to be followed!"

Charlotte felt a little shy and expectant, and her feelings could never be hidden on her face in front of him.

So, with a knowing smile, Roy certainly responded to this expectation.

Under the soft sunset, Roy knelt on one knee and took out the magic ring that he had treasured for who knows how long.

"I've been interrupted many times before, but I'm going to finish this time no matter what."

"Charlotte, will you marry me?"

The glimmer of ruby ​​reflected in the ruby's eyes, making them vivid and sparkling with beautiful haziness.

The girl's lips trembled, but this time she was no longer shy or reserved, but instead raised her brightest smile.

"No matter how many times you ask, my answer is always the same."

"Of course I would."

So, Roy took the girl's hand and put on her a magic ring that matched her crimson eyes.

The burning passion between them could no longer be expressed in words. The girl naturally moved closer, offering her cherry-red lips without reservation. Roy also accepted the princess's tenderness towards him, and used his whole body and soul to feel the elegant fragrance of the gardenia.

Just like their first time, under the beautiful sunset, it seemed as if the world fell into silence at that moment, freezing all the beauty there.

But it is more than that, as if the crimson afterglow continues forever, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world, loving each other deeply and quietly enjoying each other.

A kiss fell.

The two people, both dyed in the crimson color, only had each other in their eyes. After taking a short breath, they seemed to continue the beauty just now.

Unexpectedly, a familiar smell came.

Looking back, I saw a golden-haired saint secretly peeping at me from the corner.

Although his face was expressionless, he inexplicably gave off a lemony scent.

Alice wanted to question, but after catching a glimpse of the light between Charlotte's fingers, her expression trembled and she became embarrassed.

"Isn't Alice here at a bad time?"

You're here at the perfect time—will Charlotte kick you off the balcony if you say that?

Just when Roy was struggling, Charlotte spoke first.

"What are you doing standing still? Come here."
