Chapter 230 - Escape (1/2)

Looking at Roland’s disdainful middle finger, Husseret’s sinister face showed a hint of a smile. “I originally wanted the queen to keep you company, to get you to relax. It seems that it was quite effective. I just didn’t expect that not only did you sleep with her, but you’re actually trying to elope with her—you’re too greedy. Aren’t you afraid of being hunted by the whole Hollevin royal family?”

“I didn’t do anything to her.” Roland looked at Andonara and then said helplessly, “By the way, I heard from the queen that the atonement scrolls are very expensive. I’ll give you the money later, just tell me how much it cost.”

“Just give me fifty or sixty gold coins,” Husseret said after some thought. “I also used some tactics to buy it at half-price.”

Andonara was a little surprised to hear this. “Atonement scrolls are usually only held by certain special people in the royal family, how did you get it for half-price?”

“It’s a secret.” Husseret wiggled his eyebrows, then looked at Roland. “Do you really want to take her?”

Roland opened the system panel and shared the newly acquired quest.

Special secondary quest: Escort Queen Andonara Safely Out of the Capital.

“Oh, there’s a quest, that makes things easier.” Husseret clapped his hands. “I’ll go and share the quest with the others, and also go outside the city to share the quest with Schuck. Roland, you’re in charge of your woman, take her to a safe place first, and leave a message in the guild system if you need anything.”

After speaking, Husseret turned around and walked away, and under the effect of stealth, his figure became transparent at a very fast speed, and finally disappeared completely before the two of them.

“Your woman.” Andonara looked at Roland with an odd look in her eyes. “Your friend is quite the talker.”

Roland didn’t bother picking up on her remark. He realized that a woman like Andonara was very good at stirring things up, and the more you responded to her, the more she would get a kick out of it.

Of course, Roland wasn’t saying that women with this kind of personality were bad, but right now he wasn’t in the mood to play any ambiguous games with Andonara.

“Let’s go.”

Roland spoke insipidly and walked ahead.

“How unromantic.” Andonara tsked, following Roland rather bitterly.

They followed the path to the main entrance and ended up walking out of the belt of woods, but they saw a figure standing in the middle of the path in front of them.

It was a young girl, carrying an unsharpened broadsword, with a small round s.h.i.+eld pinned to her small left arm, wearing pale blue leather armor… and she had a very flat chest.

It was Veronica.

The young girl’s golden ponytail fluttered slightly in the night breeze. Andonara gazed at Veronica, her long ponytail also swaying slightly.

Roland suddenly realized that Veronica and Andonara were a lot alike.

Not in looks, but in temperament.

They were both crisp and clean.

“Have you come to kill me?” Andonara smiled at the girl in front of her. “Kill me, a woman who has disgraced the royal family.”

Veronica glanced at Roland. “Is this the man you’ve looked for, the backer?”

“What?” Andonara said, still smiling. “Can I not?”

Veronica took a deep breath. “He’s too young for you.”

Well… after all, Roland’s current game character appearance was only about 17 years old.

Andonara, however, laughed. “I like the younger ones, don’t I? Or are you not only trying to stop me from leaving, but trying to stand on the moral high ground and judge me?”

“I didn’t mean it that way, you are after all my mother in name and my teacher.” Veronica bowed her head slightly and tossed her broadsword aside. “I came over here to save you, but I didn’t realize that you had already found someone.”

Roland tsked slightly and didn’t say anything.

Andonara saw from her peripheral vision that Roland didn’t interject. She raised her eyebrows, then looked at Veronica and said, “It’s none of your business anymore. If you want to stop me, I won’t be polite to you, but if you still have a little bit of affection for me, then please move aside.”

Veronica froze for a moment and stepped aside.

Andonara was relieved and walked straight ahead, saying softly as she walked past Veronica, “Thank you.”

Veronica’s body trembled a little, then she hung her head down.
