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

He even refused dinner and didn't give himself any face at all.

He did it on purpose!

When Douglas looked at Roy again, there was no smile on his face anymore.

"Boy, you don't think everything will be fine just because you have the protection of the academy, do you?"

"Private duels, blocking your freedom, tracking and surveillance, and even colluding with the teacher to give you extra care in class..."

"You may be quite powerful, but even if you don't take action, I, who control the entire faction, have a hundred ways to make you lose!"

"You alone think you can take on the entire faction? Don't dream!"

Nia in the corner looked calm on the outside, but she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Just as the other party said, the three of them would never be able to compete with a faction of hundreds of people.

If there is really no other way, I can only reveal my identity as the chief's daughter!

The chief's daughter is equivalent to a royal family, which can make the other party somewhat wary.

She couldn't bear to watch Roy and Alice being tortured by the Jinsha faction.

However, once his identity is exposed, he will be caught by the court sooner or later, and then Roy and the others will be in trouble!

Just as Nia was hesitating, the door was pushed open and a panicked figure rushed in.

"Your Highness! Something's wrong! Look at the window!"

Douglas looked back and his eyes widened in shock.

I saw a group of students who were ready to go, rushing into the far corner of the mansion, and the one leading them was none other than the princess who was riding a golden and red griffin, as dazzling as a flame!

Only then did Roy raise his head and smile faintly.

"When did I say I was alone?"

Chapter 45 Three words, let the senior do it for me...

Roy had certain expectations of Douglas's character, but he didn't really expect him to be reasonable, so he was naturally prepared to compete with the Sands faction.

A sworn knight is equivalent to a half-royal family member, so it is not difficult to call on the students of the kingdom to help.

Before coming here, Roy arranged for two cat maids to call for help.

Thinking of this, Roy drank his tea slowly.

But he didn't expect the scene to be so big!

Aren't chocolate and vanilla a bit too capable?

I just asked them to go and get some people to liven up the place, just a few dozen people as a token of my appreciation, but looking at the momentum, I guess all the Lionheart students of this year are here!

And how come even Charlotte herself was here?!

Roy was there for negotiations, not for all-out war, and it was enough to make Douglas realize that he was not just a freshman, but a representative of a faction.

But now, Her Royal Highness the Princess is riding on the royal griffin and personally leading hundreds of people to come to support the battle, which undoubtedly raises the sense of oppression and tension to a higher level, and the cards are directly raised to the maximum.

The black-haired boy underestimated two things.

One is the Lionheart's passion for fighting.

The Lionhearted nobility is no mere rhetoric. Today's Lionhearted nobles all have some orc blood in them. To put it nicely, they're called knights of martial spirit; to put it bluntly, they love fighting.

In Lionheart, even the daughters of wealthy families preferred weapons training rather than singing and dancing, as could be seen from Charlotte's excellent archery skills.

As soon as they heard there was a fight, regardless of whether they could win or not, the Lionhearted men and women were overjoyed. They were even happier than students when they heard about the holiday, and they rushed to join in the fun.

And the second thing is Charlotte.

Initially Charlotte hadn't planned to come.

She believed Roy could handle this little matter.

Until she heard the whole story from the cat maid.

A big-breasted, brainless blonde thieving cat actually dared to harass his knight!

Can this be tolerated? !

These days, any kind of bastard dares to come and steal my house, right? If I don't show my power, you really think Charlotte is a sick cat, right?!

Realizing the threat of cuckoldry, Her Royal Highness was furious and called on all the Lionheart faction to come over.

Not rushing in and demolishing the Sands Mansion on the spot was already Charlotte's greatest restraint.

"Douglas! Yana Shanik, if you dare to touch Roy, you will pay the price."

Following the low roar from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the [Lion Flame] bloodline erupted like a volcano, emitting a hot and powerful extraordinary wave that almost ignited the air.

Although they were both Sequence 8, the Jinsha Transcendents confronting him below were terrified by the unstoppable momentum. They felt as if they were facing the king of beasts awakening from the flames. For a moment, no one dared to step forward to stop him.

The students on the second floor, originally responsible for holding the scene, could no longer care and had to scramble down to defend themselves to avoid a conflict. Yana, who had been singled out by name, was also frightened by the terrifying power and turned pale for a moment.

Looking at the arrogant, angry and domineering red-haired princess below, Douglas's face was so dark that it almost dripped with water.

If there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to ask angrily which idiot told him that Roy was just a scumbag, a country noble!

In fact, Roy didn't have too much information, but too much.

Some say that Roy is a good-for-nothing, some say that Roy has reformed, some say that Roy is two-timing, and some say that Roy is a good person.

The complicated and even contradictory intelligence gave the Jinsha faction's investigators a headache.

It is difficult to draw a conclusion about many things without seeing them with one's own eyes. The most credible one is the "bad boy", and the most ridiculous and outrageous one is the "Knight of the Oath".

He fought against a cult, defended the emperor, and even had his oath-sworn knighthood ceremony included in the founding ceremony, with the entire nation celebrating! These lion-hearted people are so boastful, aren't they?! Why don't you call him a dragon-slaying hero?!

This rumor was as ridiculous as a goblin being a hero or a slime being a demon king, so Douglas didn't take it seriously at all.

It was not until now that Douglas realized how magical reality was.

Douglas turned stiffly and looked at the black-haired boy who had remained calm from beginning to end. He gritted his teeth slightly and couldn't believe it: "You guy, are you really the sworn knight of Lionheart?!"

"It doesn't matter what I am." Roy smiled slightly and asked jokingly, "What's important is, what are you going to do, senior?"

The word "senior" originally sounded respectful, but now it sounded so ironic to Douglas.

But Douglas is still a prince of a country and the leader of an entire faction.

He closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, he suppressed his initial shock.

"Let's forget about dinner."

The other party's status is no longer something I can win over.

"As for Yana, she can publicly apologize to you and compensate for her disrespect to you."

Yana on the side moved her mouth with difficulty but said nothing.

Admitting one's mistakes to the Oath Knight is not something that is unacceptable.

But this did not satisfy Roy.

The black-haired boy was indifferent to the prince's advances, calmly but firmly: "I said that Yana must apologize to Alice and Nia. This is my bottom line."

"Bottom line?" Douglas smiled coldly.

Who to apologize to may seem like a small matter, but it is of great importance to factional struggles.

It is fair and reasonable for a noble to apologize to a sworn knight, and it will not bring shame to anyone.

But a nobleman apologizing to a commoner like a maid? To outsiders, this clearly meant Douglas was bowing to Roy, and the prestige of the entire Jinsha faction would suffer a huge blow!

"Mr. Roy, stop joking. Even if you have the Lionheart faction behind you, my tolerance is limited."

"You don't really think that the Lionheart faction can rival me at this stage, do you? It will take a lot of effort to destroy you, but it's not impossible!"

Douglas roared angrily, and the blood of the [Desert Monitor Lizard] began to stir, and colorful golden patterns appeared on its skin. The pressure of Sequence 7 spread out like a strong wind. Knives and forks, plates, tables and chairs, and chandeliers all trembled slightly under this force, and even faint cracks appeared.

In the eyes of Nia and Alice, the person in front of them was no longer a prince, but a ferocious desert overlord!

Charlotte below couldn't help but frown after sensing this fluctuation.

However, Roy's smile only grew wider.

In a conversation between civilized people, whoever shows his fangs first is more incompetent.

At this point, the script was almost exactly as Roy had estimated.

In fact, if a real fight breaks out, the Lionheart faction, which is dominated by the new generation, will ultimately have an unstable foundation and insufficient strength, and will be no match for the Sands faction.

But Roy was there for negotiations, not for war, and his trump card was never the Lionheart faction.

He is not only a sworn knight, but also familiar with the original plot and knows Glass's true weakness.

The boy met Douglas's gaze and silently uttered three words.

The next moment, the heavy pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace. Douglas' pupils constricted, and fear and confusion instantly appeared on his face!

Chapter 46 That Woman!

Originally, Douglas wanted to bite the bullet and take advantage of the situation to force the other side. The worst case scenario would be a war between the two sides - Lionheart was definitely no match for Sands, and Roy was not a fool and would not fail to see this.

Until Roy said the woman's name!

Her name is more terrifying than any other aspect of this negotiation.

Because she is the leader of the three major factions in the academy and the behind-the-scenes leader of the Dark Magic Faction!

This shows that Roy is well aware of the factional struggles in this college, far beyond what a freshman should have!

It is even possible that he is collaborating with that woman!

The academy seems to be calm now, but in fact the three major factions are eyeing each other covetously and are developing in secret.

Douglas had suffered countless losses at the hands of that woman, hated her to the core, and feared her like a nightmare. It could be said that she was the opponent he least wanted to be his enemy!

If Roy really cooperates with that woman, once the war breaks out, Jinsha will be attacked from both sides by the Lionheart and Dark Magic factions!

If Douglas looked at Roy with interest at first and then hostility, now it was full of deep fear!

It’s better to avoid provoking those who can cooperate with that witch in the future!

On one side was Douglas, with cold sweat on his face and as if he was facing a great enemy, and on the other side was Roy, who was sitting upright and silent as water. Nia looked back and forth at the two of them, feeling suspicious.

She was ready to take action just now, but who knew that Roy's words would scare Douglas, a Sequence 7, so much!

Could it be that Douglas was really gay, and Roy had caught him in some way? The elf girl let her thoughts wander.

As Roy expected, Douglas was quite afraid of that woman, almost to the point of PTSD.

Even Roy himself believed that the witch was indeed the most terrifying woman and the most unsuitable opponent.

It's really appropriate to scare people with the name of a witch.

Now that the beatings are over, it’s time to give the date.

"Senior, at least now, I have no intention of becoming your enemy."

"I've stated my purpose from the beginning. I just want justice for Alice and Nia. They were bullied and threatened, and they deserve a sincere apology. That's all I want."

The prince sat back down limply, holding his forehead and thinking for a while.

After a long time, he finally let out a long breath as if he had given up.

When I looked over again, the face of the prince of the Kingdom of Golden Sands had returned to its original politeness, but his hoarse tone was filled with unconcealable fatigue.

"Roy Ironblad, you win."

"You will get what you want, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Douglas offered his hand.

Roy nodded: "Very good."

The boy shook it with satisfaction.

The negotiations concluded successfully.

Roy left with the two girls.

Yana, who was standing aside, stared at the scene in astonishment, her eyes wide open, almost unable to believe it.
