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

The girl's thighs were soft and smooth, and the touch was comparable to that of a high-quality private area, leaving Roy feeling a little unsatisfied.

Roy was helpless: "Don't be so Versailles."

Charlotte was confused again: "What Cell?"

"Besides, without you, I really wouldn't be able to deal with that dragon monster." Roy rubbed the girl's thigh, which was pinched red, and said with a bit of amusement, "So, you, a great hero, shouldn't belittle yourself."

Sequence 8, and the [Lion Flame] known for its explosive power, Roy was envious.

Without Charlotte's powerful explosive power, Roy would have no way to defeat the dragon monster. He could only rely on the items in the favorability mall to deal with it and create opportunities to escape.

Moreover, Charlotte didn't complain or shed tears along the way, nor did she become a saint because of the battle with the knights. She is much more reliable than those naive people.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and a trace of admiration hidden in her heart could not help but flow out from her eyes as red as gemstones.

Isn't it because of Roy's encouragement that we were able to defeat the dragon monster?

But she didn't dwell on it any further.

The boy was gentle enough to light a warm fire in her heart and dispel her anxiety and self-blame.

As expected, you are the only one who can be my knight.

Unfortunately, this affectionate scene did not register with Roy, and he blushed and collapsed the next second.

"Meow~!"

“Are you done yet!!!”

Charlotte was going crazy, kicking her naked legs wildly.

After pinching him a little, Roy withdrew his hand contentedly and dodged the foot that was about to kick him.

As expected of a princess, her skin is so delicately maintained.

The girl rubbed her legs with a resentful look on her face, not noticing the momentary darkness in Roy's eyes.

Roy would not tell her the truth about this crisis.

If it weren't for me, Charlotte wouldn't have to go through such a dangerous place. She could have spent her wonderful years in peace and gone to the magic academy. Even if she hadn't met Alice, she would have become the revered Lionheart Princess, standing proudly in the world and enjoying a smooth life.

And this silly cat actually felt sorry for himself.

The person who should really be sorry is not you.

"It's so annoying..." The girl rubbed her red skin and complained.

When Charlotte looked over again, Roy's face had returned to that calm yet graceful smile.

Seeing Charlotte rubbing her pinched red skin resentfully and preparing to get up, Roy subconsciously asked, "Are you still wearing your socks?"

The two looked at each other in silence.

In fact, Roy has always been curious about this question since his previous life.

You don’t usually see girls wearing torn stockings, but in movies and TV dramas, female characters’ stockings are often damaged due to plot reasons.

Roy has always been curious: in real life, would girls still wear stockings when they are torn?

Unexpectedly, Charlotte, a girl, also started to think seriously when asked this question.

"Um, I just asked casually."

Charlotte ignored this and was seriously considering whether to wear these two tattered over-the-knee socks.

Specifically, it was whether Roy liked wearing knee socks or not.

Given Charlotte's awkwardness, it was impossible to ask directly.

So she pretended to be casual and asked back: "What do you think?"

"Ah this..."

Roy didn't expect that the problem that had troubled him for two lifetimes would be thrown back to him again.

Battle-damaged black stockings or bare legs? It's so hard to decide!

No. What the hell are you thinking?!

"You'd better put it on. It'll give you some protection."

Roy gave the answer.

"I see." Charlotte nodded quietly and took note of the other person's preferences.

Roy was about to get up when a pair of jade feet pressed on his legs, preventing him from getting up.

"Wait, be responsible for me until the end!" Charlotte pointed angrily at the over-the-knee socks beside her.

You want to run now?

I had asked Roy to apply the potion just to tease him, but ended up getting pinched multiple times! Wouldn't it make me look useless if I just stopped like that?!

No matter what, we must win back a game!

Besides, Roy seems to like her wearing knee socks, so he would like it too...

Of course, winning the game is the main point! It's not about pleasing him!

Charlotte didn't really want the other person to help her put on her socks, but she planned to wait for the boy to look embarrassed and then laugh at his immaturity.

Unexpectedly, the other party's movements were without any hesitation and were more skillful than she expected!

After all, Roy used to massage Alice every day when they were practicing dancing, and this routine has been ingrained in his mind.

"Yes, yes, yes." Roy responded nonchalantly, but his actions were so meticulous that nothing could be said.

He picked up an over-the-knee sock, held up a delicate bare foot, and put it on with a little clumsiness, but very carefully.

Then he straightened the fabric and lifted it up against the girl's skin, so that the torn over-the-knee socks fit perfectly.

"Lift your legs."

After Roy finished speaking, he noticed that she didn't move, so he pinched her lightly and asked curiously, "Your Highness?"

"Huh?" Charlotte was stunned for a moment before she reacted and raised her legs obediently.

The boy's attentive service made her distracted again.

Not until both socks were changed, even the short boots that had been kicked aside just now were put on.

Roy was still as relaxed and at ease, without any complaints, even a little unsatisfied: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Not bad, right?" The girl's face flushed red with shame as she savored the warmth of Roy remaining on her skin. She looked away guiltily.

Charlotte, big defeat.

Chapter 107 Village

After resting, Roy and Charlotte set out on the escape again.

Since the golden-winged griffin's injuries had not yet healed, it was difficult for it to carry the two people and take off, so they had to walk.

But before that, they had to decide on a route.

"Do we still need to go back to the capital? Leo and the [Evil Dragon Society] will probably set up an ambush." ​​Charlotte expressed her concern.

"But other towns are too far away. And there's no guarantee that Leo has a backup plan in other towns. The reason he ambushed us outside the city shows that he has a strong control over the capital. With Aunt Lessa here, he doesn't dare to touch us." Roy explained in detail to Charlotte.

Roy was sure that the queen and Leo were not in cahoots, otherwise Leo would have attacked in the capital, and then there would have been no escape.

As long as they escaped back to the capital, even if the queen was unwilling to take ruthless action against Leo due to the mother-son relationship, it would be more than enough to protect their safety.

Charlotte had no objection and continued, resting her chin on her hand: "Then the next question is how to get back."

Roy was not very familiar with the terrain, but Charlotte grew up in the capital and had memorized the map long ago.

The girl quickly drew a rough map with a branch.

First of all, we couldn't go down Kingdom Avenue. It was safe there, without monsters, but it also had no cover and was too easy to be exposed.

The nearby paths were also blocked. Leo was also familiar with the terrain, and with the knights and the [Evil Dragon Society] under his command outnumbering them, it was only a matter of time before they caught up.

Roy thought for a moment and decided, "Let's take a detour. Go back to the capital from Mount Doom."

There was a large amount of volcanic ash piled up near Mount Doom, perfect for concealing one's whereabouts. Even if Leo temporarily deployed Griffin Knights, it would be difficult to conduct an aerial search there.

And they have griffins.

Even if the Golden-winged Griffin is injured, it can still be used as a mount.

Most of Leo's knights are ordinary people, and the followers of the [Evil Dragon Society] are just contaminated by extraordinary powers and cannot compare with real extraordinary people in terms of physical strength.

The further they take a detour, the longer the pursuit route becomes, the more they can drag down the pursuing teams on both sides and reduce the opponent's numerical advantage.

If we are lucky enough, we might even be able to wait for Lisa to bring reinforcements from the capital.

Seeing Charlotte's sudden realization, Roy didn't explain further.

But he actually had another reason.

[Hint! Progress has been made in detecting the fate-defying node! Every choice you make will change your fate, so choose carefully! Keep up the good work!]

[Current Fate-Defying Node Lionheart]

[Lionheart Defiance Progress]: 40%

[Do you want to consume 1 Fate Reversal Point and project the path to becoming a king?]

Leo brought with him the best fighters in the army, and the methods of the [Evil Dragon Society] were strange and unpredictable.

You have to consider the worst-case scenario. You need more cards.

The last time I projected myself, I witnessed a glimpse of the truth of history, which completely activated my [Bloodline Resonance]. This time, I should also gain new power.

But it’s best to find a place to stay first.

It's getting late now, and the forest is not safe at night.

After deciding on the route, the two of them set off on their griffins.

With the golden-winged griffin's strength, it can walk on rugged mountain roads as if on flat ground.

When it comes to flying, the griffin is first-rate, but not unique.

But when it comes to moving through mountains and forests, no magical beast can compare to the griffin, which is flexible, agile, and has thick skin and flesh.

When the last dusk was completely devoured by the night and the dark night enveloped the mountain forest, the two finally arrived at the foot of the towering volcano.

The pungent smell of sulfur and the volcanic ash falling like fine snow made many monsters avoid this place. The lush vegetation also broke off here, and beyond it was a bare mountain.

The air was so hot and dry that Roy's nasal cavity was filled with heat just from breathing.

This place is obviously not suitable for living things to survive.

Strangely, Roy saw some sparks in the distance.

Pursuers, bandits, or adventurers?

Roy brought Charlotte closer, hid behind a boulder, and peered over, only to be surprised to find that it was actually a village!

And it’s quite large!

Inside the fence built of trees, there are slightly rough thatched houses, penned poultry and livestock, and dim star-like lights.

Roy and Charlotte looked at each other, both puzzled.

This place is actually habitable?!

It is not surprising to see small villages hidden in the backward mountainous areas.

But the environment here is too harsh.

They were both extraordinary beings, so they weren't afraid of the dry air and volcanic ash. How could ordinary people stay here for years?

What do they eat?

The livestock and poultry were skin and bones, and Roy saw no crops nearby.

"Shall we go over and take a look?" Charlotte also felt something was wrong and was a little hesitant.

From time to time, the roars and wails of monsters could be heard in the mountains and forests, which was very creepy.

Even with the golden-winged griffin, it would be difficult to deter those night hunters.

No matter how weird this village is, the villagers only have two arms and a head, which is better than the monsters in the jungle.
