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

However, this does not mean that the culprits will not have to pay the price.

Jon Snow pointed to the misshapen blood-red rose at his feet. "Move all the people from the villages on the eastern border back inland, and then hang their bodies like this in the center of each village."

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Tell the Empress that one day, she will suffer the same fate as them."

"No! I'm a noble, and my family can pay the ransom!"

"Please spare me, I'm just following orders!"

"Lord Snow! Please, I am willing to serve you...!"

Be it praying or roaring, all of this was drowned out by the freezing wind and snow.

Looking out the window at the snowy night with the cold wind howling, and recalling the hasty farewell that morning, Jon Snow was distracted for a moment.

----------

Sometimes, being too famous is not a good thing.

The dragon slayer returned triumphantly today, and the entire academy gave him the most solemn applause. The academy residents, believers in Holy Light, and even nobles from all sides spontaneously formed a welcoming team that almost blocked the academy, making it difficult for Roy and others to move forward.

But right now I just want to sleep. Too much ceremony is not good, right?!

"Get used to it sooner rather than later. There will be many more such scenes when we get married."

Under Charlotte's complaints, Roy had no choice but to accept the reality.

It was bright when we entered the city, but by the time we returned to the dormitory at the college, the sun was setting.

The two girls went back to their rooms to pack their bags and change their clothes, while Roy casually threw his coat aside and collapsed on the sofa.

This trip took almost a semester. First, he fought bloody battles on the battlefield and slayed dragons, and then he was taken care of by the two girls day and night. Now that he was back in his cozy little home, Roy just wanted to lie there and didn't even bother to move a finger.

Unexpectedly, the vision went dark at this moment.

"Guess who I am?"

The familiar silver bell-like voice, the fresh scent of jasmine, and the plump and soft body behind his head, which was obviously not that of a princess and even surpassed Alice's, all made Roy relax instantly and not overreact.

I'm already Sequence 4, yet she can actually approach me silently from behind. This girl has made a lot of progress recently!

Thinking of this, Roy casually said, "I guess it's some cute elf?"

"Unfortunately, wrong answer. It's just cute or something, I have no idea who you're talking about."

Roy touched the hand covering his eyes and confirmed the other person's current posture: "It's not an elf, it's my most adorable elf girlfriend."

"Tsk tsk, even though it's the truth, it's still a wrong answer because you're so conceited. Sorry, you only have one chance left...!"

The frivolous tone was slightly choked.

Because Roy had already leaned back, breaking free from her restraints, which she had not even tried to restrain, and instead stretched out his hands to hold her tender face.

Only after seeing the elf girl's surprised expression did Roy chuckle triumphantly.

"Well, she is indeed my most adorable elf girlfriend."

Chapter 3 Gathering Together

"Sweet talk and smooth talking, is this how you get them into bed?"

"That's not the case. I'm only this sweet to my cutest elf girlfriend."

"So greasy...but I like it."

The elf girl smiled broadly, as bright as the morning sun and as beautiful as the spring breeze.

The girl lifted her white silk thighs, flipped over, and landed lightly next to Roy.

Then, she opened her arms and was greeted with a big hug.

Big in every sense of the word.

"Welcome back! You've worked so hard on this trip!"

Immersed in the soft and richness of the sea of ​​clouds and mist, Roy mumbled, "I'm back."

If the smile of an elf girl can bring spiritual healing, then the soft touch that makes one unable to extricate themselves from it is the healing in the physical sense, which makes people relax unconsciously.

Especially when at home, Nia always wore a loose white shirt with a bra underneath at most. She did not shy away from skin-to-skin contact, which made Roy feel her breasts thoroughly.

After clinging to each other for a while, Nia finally relaxed a little.

"By the way, do you feel that I have changed in any way?"

Her eyebrows flickered like butterfly wings, and her emerald eyes showed anticipation.

How could Roy, who was no longer a novice in the field cleaning industry, be stumped by such a question?

In a flash he compared the girl before him with the one in his memory.

"Your hair is growing longer?"

"Well, it's indeed a little longer..." Nia pinched the ends of her hair, looking stunned.

"So you've lost weight?"

Nia's expression became more subtle: "It seems not."

Roy held up the fruit he had just experienced, which was so big that it was almost impossible to button up. "Uh... is that fat?"

"Hey!"

Nia really couldn't hold it anymore.

No way, did they really not notice Sequence 5?!

Ever since she learned that Roy and Charlotte had both reached the advanced level, Nia had given up on surprising them.

But at least you should give me some praise and recognition, right? Even small progress is progress. You can't be so strong that you don't notice my small progress, right?!

Thinking of this, Nia's mouth puffed up like a pufferfish, and tears began to well up in her eyes with anger.

But just as the little pufferfish's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, about to pour out its resentment, Roy chuckled.

"Stupid, how could I not notice?"

"Congratulations on your double advancement to Sequence 5. That's impressive."

Roy raised his finger and poked it lightly, and the pufferfish's resentment instantly disappeared.

As Nia's tears turned into laughter, her tears became more and more.

Natasha's praise, the admiration of the other adventurers, none of these could compare to the boy's recognition, making her heart flutter. Only then did Nia truly feel that the experience and adventures of the past few months had finally paid off.

"Woo woo, I thought you really didn't care about this little bit of progress, woo woo woo woo!"

The elf girl rushed into his arms, flapping her feet and couldn't help but screaming, making Roy laugh and cry.

Who would have thought that Nia, who has always been cheerful, could have such a sensitive side?

Thinking of this, Roy felt a little distressed.

"Hey, you green tea girl, what's going on again? What did you do to her?!"

Charlotte heard the noise and ran out to catch the adulterer. When she came out, she saw the elf girl crying and was stunned.

"Why does the master bully Nia?"

Then Alice, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared and poked her head out from beside Charlotte suspiciously.

"I'm not......"

"Wow, Roy has played such a cruel trick on my heart. Ouch... It hurts!"

The preface is withdrawn. This girl is so sensitive!

Roy raised his hand and tugged at the tip of the girl's slender elf ear, ending her slander.

Lyanna went to the border of the Kingdom of Golden Sands to investigate the unrest caused by the demons, while Jon Snow stayed at the border of the Winter Empire, alert to the movements of the imperial royal family.

With two people gone, the already crowded dining table seemed a little empty.

But with Nia, the happy person, there is always a lot of fun at the dinner table.

After a night's rest, Roy took the three girls to Jinsha Mansion to attend the meeting.

Private meetings between leaders of various factions were not uncommon, and Roy had received an invitation from Douglas long before he returned to school.

Roy also wanted to talk to Douglas about various things, so he simply agreed.

However, after arriving at the meeting, Roy found that the meeting was much more formal than he had imagined.

Fortunately, the conference hall of Jinsha Mansion is spacious and grand enough to accommodate so many people at the same time.

"I didn't expect His Highness Ousan and the Dean to be here too."

"With all parties gathered together, it is of course necessary for me, as the prince of the South Sea, to attend."

"I have nothing to do, so I decided to join in the fun. Please don't mind me."

The Saint of White Harbor, the Lionheart Princess, the Elf Nightingale, the Princes of the Golden Sands and the South Sea, and the actual ruler of the Magician Society, the Sage...

With so many big shots gathered together, the atmosphere couldn't be anything but serious. Even Nia sat up straight, her face tense and serious.

Since inviting all parties to help Alice, this was the first time Roy saw the core leaders of various forces gathered together, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Shouldn't I leave for a while?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over, making Roy inexplicably nervous.

"Why leave? As a dragon-slaying knight, who dares not give you face?"

"Lord...if Roy wants to leave, Alice should leave too."

"+1!"

Charlotte and Alice expressed their support on both sides, but Nia really couldn't sit still and wished he would leave quickly so that she could escape.

On the other side, Douglas laughed out loud.

"Lord Roy has become humorous."

"We are able to gather here thanks to you. Without you, this meeting would not be possible."

After hearing what Douglas said, Roy no longer refused.

To be honest, even though he was used to the admiration of the Lionhearted people, he was still not used to chatting with the top leaders of various forces.

I don't seem to have any serious status. Wouldn't I seem superfluous in this kind of situation, like some gigolo who's just trying to get a female CEO's attention by attending a meeting?!

"First, I must welcome Lord Roy, Her Highness Charlotte, and Lady Alice. They have returned victorious, ending the war started by the dragons."

Starting with this, Douglas presided over the meeting in an orderly manner.

The early part of the meeting was spent discussing trivial matters, including support for the reconstruction of the kingdom, the expansion of churches in various places, and a number of topics that made Roy sleepy.

Fortunately, they soon talked about something that made Roy feel less sleepy.

"By the way, the demon riots on our border have been getting worse recently. I'm worried that they might make a big move in the future."

"Isn't the senior sister over there? How is she?" Roy was a little worried about Lyanna.

Douglas's expression became strange when he heard this: "This..."

Seeing Douglas suddenly silent, Roy suddenly became a little nervous.

Unexpectedly, the other party said: "She is fine."

"In fact, some are too good."

Chapter 4: The Sage's Warning

"The Snake-Eyed Witch has been hunting down many demons around the defense line recently and is very popular, so Lord Roy doesn't need to worry too much."

What Douglas actually meant was, "Don't you know when that bad woman goes crazy? Worrying about her is a bit unnecessary!"

Listening to Douglas's story, Roy could completely imagine the scene of Lyanna throwing the living demon into the basilisk's mouth with a sneer, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

With the senior sister's ruthless nature, she might be quite happy to go to the border and kill demons.

Douglas looked at Alice again: "As for the Saint, I am also moving forward with the matter of the Holy Sword."

"In a while, the chief craftsman from Atelier Platinum will come to visit you personally to discuss sword forging."
