What a beautiful morning.
Golden-browned toast, fragrant sausages brimming with meaty aroma, steaming hot milk, and most importantly…

Roy, while savoring the delicious breakfast, checked the gains from last night, feeling elated to the utmost.
Though still clueless about the use of reversal points, Roy was certain that he had embarked on a path entirely different from the ‘infamous Roy’.
All he had to do was continue nurturing the little maid, and once she grew into the ‘Fate Saintess’ from the original work, she would repay him well!
A carefree future, a carefree future indeed!
In high spirits, Roy indulged in a hearty meal.
Anya, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.
But this morning, while tidying up the bed, she found no fallen petals.
Wasn’t the young master craving the body of the little maid?
Clearly, nothing had happened, so why was the young master in such high spirits?
From noble mtl dot come
Of course, Roy’s gentlemanly behavior last night was a relief to Anya.
As a woman, she knew all too well the pain of being forced.
The young master’s actions last night were undoubtedly gentlemanly.
But the term ‘gentleman’ seemed contradictory to the young master himself!
Amidst her relief, Anya grew more puzzled.
“By the way, where did Alice go?” Roy asked halfway through his meal.
He wanted to continue building affection.
“Master, Alice went to change clothes… Oh, isn’t this her coming now?”
Roy turned around, and under the faint morning light, a golden silhouette was illuminated.
Different from last night, the girl was not in a thin shirt or a nightgown.
Adorable lace ruffles, the classic black and white contrast. Delicate wristbands, lace headwear, fluffy golden hair combed into short twin ponytails, and a maid’s skirt just covering the knees.
All of this adorned Alice as the most exquisite, elegant little maid.
The girl lifted her skirt, bowed, bathed in the warm morning light, and somewhat awkwardly curtsied to Roy.
“Master, good morning.”
“Good morning, Alice!”
Roy felt a sudden wetness in his eyes.
How could he not be moved, seeing the classic scene from the original work come to life?
What a beautiful morning!
“That outfit suits you well.” Roy managed to suppress a chuckle, showing only a faint smile.
“It’s just a regular maid’s outfit.” Alice responded naturally, without the shyness of yesterday.
“But if the master likes it, that’s good.” Those light blue eyes, much brighter than yesterday.
“Come closer.”
“Yes.”
Alice obediently came to Roy’s side, and though her face still showed no emotion, one could clearly feel her compliance towards Roy.
The girl noticed Roy’s empty cup and offered, “May I refill it for you?”
“Please do!”
Roy nearly spat out his milk.
Turning around, he saw Anya’s eyes filled with confusion, as if the words ‘suspicion’ were about to be written on her face!
This was not good.
She was suspecting him!
“What else? Do you have an opinion about my decision?” Roy retorted unapologetically.
Upon hearing this, Anya actually felt relieved.
This unreasonable demeanor was just like their young master.
“It’s nothing, I just feel that you’ve been a bit too gentle with Alice.”
“It’s like you’re a completely different person from before.” Anya sighed with relief at the young master’s change.
Roy’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Oh no, was she really suspecting him?
Was his gentle treatment of Alice too obvious?
People can change, but the change must be reasonable.
Anya’s doubts were expected by Roy, but he didn’t anticipate that the reason ‘training a personal maid’ wouldn’t dispel Anya’s suspicions.
“Hmph, don’t get the wrong idea, I’m just being nice to Alice!” Roy said sulkily, emphasizing his words while lounging with his legs crossed.
However, to Anya, these words had a different meaning.
“Are you trying to say that Alice is special to you?”
“That’s exactly what I mean!”
“I understand now.”
“Good that you do.”
Seeing that Anya didn’t pursue further, Roy finally relaxed.
“Master, Alice doesn’t believe she has any special qualities that would warrant your attention,” Alice said, looking down in bewilderment, honestly expressing her doubts.
Not busty, not long-legged, not even pretty (in her own opinion).
“That’s because you haven’t discovered it yourself. In my eyes, Alice, you are special.” Roy smiled at Alice, his eyes brimming with barely concealed hope.
Indeed, she was special.
After all, she was the future Saintess of Destiny, the purest angelic bloodline of this era, and he was counting on her support in the future!
“Um, although I don’t quite understand, I will try my best to become the personal maid you desire,” Alice said earnestly, clenching her little fists with determination.
Yet, this scene took on a different flavor in Anya’s eyes.
The indulgence in Roy’s eyes for the blonde girl was unmistakably genuine, and he made it clear that he treated Alice specially.
Emphasis on ‘specially’.
It’s not that ‘Alice is special,’ but rather ‘Alice is special to the young master’!
Could it be…
If you ask a man what could change his personality overnight, the answers are bound to be varied and strange.
But for women, there’s only one answer.
Anya’s doubts connected in her mind at this moment!
Why would the young master spend a fortune on Alice? Why groom her to be a personal maid? Why, despite his obvious fondness, did he refrain from overstepping last night?
Why is the young master so gentle with this girl, what is it all for?
There’s only one answer that perfectly addresses all these questions.
The young master is in love!
Anya’s pupils trembled as she uncovered the truth.
