Chapter 229 - Who Doesn“t Have Any Hidden Trump Cards? (2/2)

When they left the room, they saw the old steward standing in the shadows of the stairway.

When he saw the queen’s outfit, he took a step forward, blocking the doorway of the stairs, and said gloomily, “Your Highness, please stay back and don’t make things difficult for me.”

The old steward, who had been bent over, gradually stood up straight. His aura became more imposing, and his clouded pupils, too, became clear.

But at this instant, Andonara moved.

The longsword was unsheathed. The chilling glare of it was like lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and Andonara appeared about ten meters ahead in an instant.

The old steward’s entire body was pinned to the wall next to the stairway.

The longsword pierced straight through his heart.

With a look of disbelief, the old steward stared fiercely at Andonara. He wanted to speak, but a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat and he couldn’t say anything.

“It is true that three years ago I was not as strong as you. As a queen, although I was very much out of my husband’s favor, it was easy to get whatever resources I wanted. For the past three years, other than serving my own cheap husband, I’ve had no other hobbies, I only attended a few banquets. The vast majority of the time was spent exercising my sword skills.”

The old steward spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes increasingly disbelieving.

“Old dog, do you really think I don’t know that you’re the one he sent to execute me?”

The old steward’s body twitched twice, and his eyes gradually lost their spark.

Roland came from behind and exclaimed, “That was fast.”

Andonara should be an agility Warrior, with her surprising speed. Even though Roland mastered miaodao arts on an elementary level, he felt that if Andonara had suddenly attacked just now on the balcony, he would have definitely been unable to fight back and would have been beheaded on the spot.

This woman’s appearance was so deceptive.

“Anyway, I’m a great swordsman.” Andonara smiled flirtatiously and approached Roland. “Although I didn’t tell you, it’s not a lie. After all, you didn’t ask me, did you, so don’t get mad!”

Her lovely feminine fragrance came toward him. Roland subconsciously s.h.i.+fted a step across the room, pulling away from Andonara. “If you are so strong, why don’t you escape on your own?”

“A woman needs a backer, no matter how strong she is. Alone and without a companion, a woman will always feel insecure, and an insecure woman doesn’t have much courage to resist authority.” Andonara giggled and said, “So I’m happy that you’re here and willing to help me. Because of you, I feel like I won’t be afraid anymore.”

After Andonara finished speaking, she stepped forward briskly and even started to hum a little tune.

This woman’s personality was quite mercurial.

Roland followed behind Andonara, his brows furrowing more and more. This woman was powerful, so how did that Mage kidnap her?

It wasn’t long before they were downstairs.

Walking out of the manor, they came to the entrance.

When the soldier guarding the gate saw Queen Andonara dressed in leather armor and equipped with a longsword, and then Roland next to her, and the black-robed Rogue Husseret, who was standing outside the gate, he swallowed hard. Then he raised his s.h.i.+eld and knocked it hard against his head.

After a loud thud, the soldier fainted and fell to the ground.

“Quite clever,” Andonara said smilingly.

Husseret watched Roland walk out with an odd smile. “So fast? I originally estimated that you’d be at least an hour or two… Is a Mage’s body really as weak as the rumors say?”

In a foul mood, Roland gave him the middle finger.
