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

He didn't come early or late, the timing was so perfect!

Even though he complained in his heart, Roy would not blame Alice.

After all, they had come all the way to visit her out of concern. As for Charlotte, she could only find time to apologize later.

"No way, I can't wait to see Alice!"

Hearing what Roy said, the little maid's eyes finally lit up again, her lace skirt swaying as she stepped briskly into the house.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, both of them had a lot to share.

Roy was filled with pride when he heard about Alice's achievements. He was also somewhat relieved that he had finally defeated the Red Blood Fire Dragon.

He didn't know what happened to the Red-Blooded Fire Dragon in the original story. But if he hadn't been able to defeat it in time, this sub-dragon crisis would have turned into another disaster for the Lionheart Kingdom. Putting aside others, just the thought of Alice being in danger was unacceptable to Roy.

But when Roy told his story, even Alice's eyes were filled with horror.

The conspiracy of the Second Prince, the pursuit of the [Evil Dragon Society], and finally even facing the Lord of Fire, [Red Blood Fire Dragon Baragas], one of the Seven Heavenly Dragons.

Alice had never doubted Roy's ability, but after hearing such an exaggerated adventure story, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Her eyes fell on Roy's bare chest, which was covered with horrific blood scabs, proving that the adventure was true.

No wonder the master was injured like this.

"I'm sorry that Alice couldn't be with you when you were going through this." The little maid lowered her head, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Don't say that. I don't want you to suffer with me." Roy noticed Alice's gaze and pulled up the quilt to wrap his wound.

It was so strange that I was naked in front of the girl for such a long time before I realized it!

Maybe it’s because I asked Alice to give me a massage before, so I’m a little used to it. I have to be more careful next time.

"Besides, I'm not fighting alone. Her Royal Highness the Princess is very reliable." Roy recalled the short escape. Apart from the part where he almost died, he still felt a little nostalgic.

In fact, Charlotte's several key shots really helped a lot.

Especially when he fainted from exhaustion after killing the fire dragon.

Roy only learned later that the [Mount Doom] erupted due to a violent power fluctuation. If Charlotte hadn't arrived in time and dragged him onto the griffin, he would have been buried in the magma.

It is so ironic that after finally defeating the Red Blood Fire Dragon, he died under the lava.

Moreover, if it weren't for the need to protect Charlotte, he would have given up on survival and chosen to fight to the death with Leo and the [Evil Dragon Society].

When Roy came to his senses, he had already started telling Alice about everything that happened with Charlotte.

Listening to Roy's story, imagining the two of them soaring in the sky on a griffin, working together to hunt monsters, and relying on each other to support each other in times of crisis, Alice felt a trace of sadness in her heart for some reason.

so good.

It’s great to be able to share so much time with my master and see sides of him that he has never shown in front of me.

Whenever Roy talks about Charlotte, his face always lights up.

That brilliance made Alice feel inexplicably dazzling.

"Your Highness, you are really reliable." The girl lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

"of course!"

Roy's praise gave her an inexplicable desire to win.

"However, it would be difficult for Your Highness to take care of the Master's daily affairs."

"Em...actually, he's taken good care of." Roy scratched his head.

"Although it was a bit clumsy at first, it's pretty good for a princess."

Alice choked.

Then she said stubbornly, "That being said, Your Highness is busy with important matters and cannot always be with the Master."

Roy thought for a moment before replying, "There's no such thing as an important matter. She basically makes time to visit me every day."

Alice was silent for several seconds before finally adding, "Then the master's diet..."

"The palace cuisine is quite delicious!" Foodie Roy gave a positive review.

Roy mistakenly thought the girl was worried that he was having a hard time and felt wronged, so he smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm actually living a pretty comfortable life in the capital!"

"Is that so...that's good." The girl's murmur was tinged with bitterness.

Looking at Roy's smile, Alice had to admit that she had been too sentimental before.

With Charlotte taking care of her and keeping her company, the owner will never feel lonely.

Also good.

With Charlotte by his side, the owner will live a good life even if he is not around.

Isn’t that good?

In fact, it is enough if the master lives a good life.

As a maid, it is only natural to feel happy for your master at this time.

As it should be.

But what is this constant surge of bitterness?

Listening to Roy's laughter, Alice fell into deep confusion.

Chapter 130: The Master and Servant's Troubles

"Alice?"

"..."

"Alice!"

"Woo!"

A pair of soft little hands reached out to Alice's dress-covered waist and tickled it, startling the girl so much that her body trembled and she let out a pitiful whimper.

"What are you daydreaming about? I've already dried your hair." Chocolate giggled.

As an exclusive maid, Alice has her own guest room, but she has a good relationship with the two cat maids and does not object to them coming to stay in her room.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Alice left the mirror with slightly damp hair and sat on the sofa in the guest room.

The girl's clear blue eyes stared into the void, and she fell into a daze again.

Chocolate and Vanilla looked at each other, feeling a little confused.

Although Alice would usually stay still like a doll when she had nothing to do, there was light in her eyes at that time, and she would never be as dull as she is now.

Like a salted fish that has lost its purpose in life.

This child is worried.

Realizing this, Chocolate instantly became excited and leaned over to ask, "Is Alice troubled by anything lately?"

"Do not......"

"Don't be so formal. From my guess, it's probably related to the young master." Qiao Ke narrowed his eyes and pretended to be reasoning.

Alice was shocked: "That's amazing, how did you know?!"

"Hahaha! I understand your sister Chocolate very well! If you have any troubles, you can come to me for consultation!" Chocolate patted her chest in a boastful manner.

Vanilla beside her drank some milk silently.

What the hell are you so proud of, Meow Meow Hammer?! Everyone knows Alice's mind is full of the Young Master's affairs, right?!

Fortunately, Vanilla is not a talkative person and did not expose her sister's secrets.

Under Chocolate's enthusiasm, Alice finally confided her recent troubles.

Vanilla guessed the general idea after hearing half of it.

The relationship between the young master and His Highness had actually developed to that point. No wonder Alice felt bad.

Woo, are you feeling lonely because you were left out?

However, considering the young master's feelings for Alice, if he takes the initiative to act coquettishly, he will definitely spend more time with Alice, right?

It's just that this child is too sensible and has too many concerns, so he is unwilling to take the initiative.

Got to give her a push.

Compared to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Vanilla is more inclined to support her friend's love affair - even though the other party seems to have not yet realized what "love" means, in Vanilla's view, it is only a matter of time before something happens between the two of them.

Just as Vanilla was considering her words, she saw Chocolate smiling smugly.

"I understand."

"You want to play with the young master, but you're afraid of disturbing him, right?"

“???” Vanilla was a little unable to keep up.

"...Almost?" Alice was a little confused.

Vanilla's mouth twitched.

It’s quite different!

Don't confuse Alice's innocent girlish heart with your childish mind!

What's outrageous is that even though the direction was wrong, Chocolate still gave Vanilla the advice that was in her mind.

"The young master likes you so much, if you just act coquettishly he will definitely make time for you from the princess!"

Unexpectedly, Alice, with her blonde hair, shook her head.

"Alice, I don't want to trouble the master."

"It is enough for the master to have His Highness accompany him. Alice should not disturb them."

"Alice just..."

Alice paused, feeling a little confused by the bitterness in her chest.

She didn't know how to describe this lemon-filled emotion.

Roy enjoyed spending time with Charlotte.

As a maid, I should be happy that my master and Charlotte are getting along.

But Alice didn't understand. When she thought of the two of them cuddling each other in a corner where she couldn't see them, their skin touching, the sourness in her chest couldn't stop surging.

The blonde girl curled up, hugged her slender legs, and huddled into a ball weakly.

Her soft, white soles of her feet were twisted and overlapped together, just like the tangle in her heart.

"it does not matter."

"Alice can endure for the master."

Vanilla couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

Could it be...jealous?

Jealousy means Alice still has feelings for Roy! This is a good thing!

But when you're jealous, you take the initiative! Whether it's acting like a spoiled child, being naughty, or even just throwing a tantrum!

A normal girlfriend would have exploded at this point, but why did she shrink back down when it came to you?!

Vanilla was about to speak, but Chocolate once again took the initiative and put her arm around Alice's shoulders, looking old and sad. "I understand. It's the same for me. I'm so hungry, but I have to resist stealing Vanilla's dessert. It must be very difficult."

"But, people, you can't go against your own heart. You have to take that step eventually!"

"So it was you who stole my dessert." Vanilla gave Chocolate a kind smile, which scared the latter so much that his hair stood on end and he shrank to the side.

Vanilla rolled her eyes at Chocolate before sitting down next to Alice. She stared into her eyes and said softly, "Can you really bear it?"

"Even if the young master and His Highness become closer, holding hands, cuddling each other, or even, well, sleeping in the same bed, doing things like that, can you still endure it?"

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

But contrary to Vanilla's expectations, after a moment of silence, Alice nodded slightly.

"As long as the master is happy, that's enough."
