Chapter 199 - Roy-kun, don't you feel any guilt?
After hearing Roy's proposal, Lavinia's eyes widened, and an inconceivable exclamation came out of her small mouth.
"Keep your voice down. The sound insulation in the room is not that good," Roy said calmly.
Lavinia hastily raised her free hand and suddenly covered her mouth, preventing it from making a sound, still staring at Roy with her eyes in disbelief.
Roy: "..."
Obviously, as long as she closed her mouth, she wouldn't make a sound, but she insisted on covering it with her hand. It was so unnecessary. Fortunately, Roy had no expectations for Lavinia's IQ. It was no surprise to see her make such an action.
After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Lavinia finally put down her hand, lowered her voice, and asked cautiously, "You mean... we're getting engaged?"
As she spoke, Lavinia also stretched out her finger, pointed at Roy, and then pointed at herself, looking at Roy with questioning eyes.
"Is there anyone else here besides you and me?" Roy said.
"But..." Lavinia was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "Is it too fast? We just met each other."
Lavinia quickly added, "That... I don't mean I hate you."
"If we're getting engaged, shouldn't we take your time? We must first fall in love, let's get to know each other, and then you propose to me."
"You think we're in a normal situation now?" Roy said with a soft snort.
"But..." Lavinia wanted to refute something but was interrupted directly by Roy.
"Nothing but." Roy looked at Lavinia and said, "Why don't you think of a good solution?"
"..." Lavinia frowned and thought hard for a while, then said with a bitter face, "I don't know."
"Then do as I say." Roy's voice also became tougher, leaving no room for Lavinia to refuse. "From now on, you are my fiancée, do you understand?"
"Oh." Lavinia nodded obediently.
Seeing Lavinia, who was blushing and bowing her head, Roy rubbed between his brows, feeling really relaxed. Unexpectedly, within a few words, Lavinia was bluffed. He almost felt like there was a lack of challenge.
However, it was not a loss at all to fool Lavinia into becoming his fiancée. It was this air headed character that made him feel she was a cute and pitiable at the same time. Of course, her character was enough to make up for everything.
"Are you still going to sleep?" Roy asked.
"...!" Lavinia blushed and lowered her head. She hadn't eaten since last night. Moreover, teaching Roy magic last night and then getting Roy's inspiration to study magic formulas was a very energy consuming thing. At this moment, Lavinia also felt that her stomach was empty, and the hunger reminded her to replenish food quickly to avoid problems.
"Get dressed first. Eat something and then go to bed," Roy said with a smile.
Lavinia quickly lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed. She wasn't nervous at all. It seemed that after becoming his fiancée, Lavinia became less shy and calmly got dressed in front of Roy.
Seeing that body unfolded in front of his eyes without any concealment, Roy's eyebrows jumped.
Lavinia quickly picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and quickly finished dressing. Soon, the large mage's robe was on Lavinia's body again, but it looked askew in some places.
Roy stepped forward and straightened Lavinia's clothes.
"Thanks." The blush on Lavinia's face never went down, and she whispered her thanks a little nervously.
Roy smiled, then walked out of the room with Lavinia and went downstairs to the living room on the first floor.
In the living room, everyone had finished their lunch and was sitting around chatting.
"Ara ara, the two of you have finally woken up." After seeing Roy and Lavinia go downstairs, Akeno smiled playfully and said, "You two woke up so late. You must have spent a very good night last night, yes?"
"No!" The tips of Lavinia's ears turned red, and she denied it without thinking.
"Oh?" Akeno looked at Lavinia again and again with meaningful eyes, and the smile on her face became even brighter. "I wonder, if Rias knew that you took her spot in bed, how would she feel?"
Rias? Lavinia's heart skipped a beat. This was one of Roy's fiancées.
"Roy and I are engaged, so we slept in the same room last night. There is no problem!" Lavinia immediately defended herself.
Roy felt a little headache. This kind of self-proclaimed behavior was really something.
"Roy-kun, you're really quick," Akeno sighed and admired. Unexpectedly, in one night, Roy took down the Sacred Gear Host introduced by Azazel. Although this Lavinia did not look very smart.
"Pervert!" Koneko gave Roy a dim look, full of contempt.
"Things are not what you imagined." For the teasing of the two, Roy was unmoved. He took Lavinia to sit down at the table at the side casually and then asked, "Is there any food?"
"Lord Roy, there is still food in the kitchen. I'll go heat it up," Raynare said with a smile, then walked into the kitchen and started to work.
After a while, Raynare warmed up the meal specially left at noon and brought it up.
Like a child, Lavinia sat at the table and waited with her tableware. After seeing the food served by Raynare, she glanced at Roy.
Roy nodded amusedly, and then Lavinia quickly gobbled it up, without any ladylike elegance at all.
"Roy-kun, don't you feel any guilt?" Akeno looked at Lavinia, then approached Roy, and asked Roy in a low voice. "Obviously she looks like a mature blonde, but her character is still like a child."
"What guilt?" Roy pretended to be puzzled and asked back.
