Chapter 421 - All the Hate In the World Is Due To Killing and F*cking (1/2)
Roland was slightly surprised at first. But then he relaxed. “So you’ve been watching me.”
“Of course we have,” Antis said angrily. “How can we not watch you when the queen is with you?”
Roland chuckled. “Watching me wouldn’t help. She’s unwilling to go back.”
He was rather blunt, but he said it on purpose to upset Antis.
The royal family sent spies to Delpon obviously hoping to get the queen back from Roland.
Earlier, the queen had shown her capabilities and could raise Great Swordsman. After she awakened her Hero bloodline, which changed her hair and eye colors, she was even stronger than before.
The king and the other members of the royal family couldn’t be more regretful after learning that.
In this world, lineage was very important for n.o.bles, especially that on the mother’s side.
The king married Andonara because of her Hero bloodline. But since she wasn’t very obedient at the beginning, he wanted to discipline her into obedience through manipulation.
But it didn’t occur to the king that one of his sons had inappropriate thoughts on his stepmother, and even more unfortunately, a Golden Son who was not afraid of the royal power “rescued” the queen and stole her heart.
That was really a sh*tty ending.
If it was a regular expert who took the queen away, the royal family could’ve tried to kill him.
After all, the man could be a.s.sa.s.sinated or poisoned if he was too strong to face in a head-on clash.
However, the problem was that this Gold Son could be infinitely resurrected.
That problem couldn’t be taken care of.
Antis felt rather miserable when he heard Roland’s laughter of satisfaction.
When Andonara was little, she spent time in the capital now and then. He had known her since then.
They had played together as children.
At that time, he had some feelings for Andonara. After all, n.o.ble children matured early.
Later, as they grew up, his feelings for Andonara became stronger and stronger.
But he never considered marrying her. After all, as a daughter of a nominal n.o.ble and merchant, she was too lowly for him, a relative of the royal family.
She could be his mistress, though. He had planned to turn her into one.
However, before he could put his plan into practice, Andonara had left to work as a mercenary.
After she returned, she became the queen before he could confess his love.
He was one step behind every time.
Andonara was unhappy after she became the queen. The royal family wasn’t suitable for her, someone who was straightforward yet sensitive. Antis saw her misery but couldn’t do anything.
It was impossible for him to go against the royal family.
He even thought that he could comfort Andonara in private if he had a chance. After all… the personal lives of n.o.bles were a mess. The royal family would turn a blind eye to him as long as he didn’t cross the line.
However, he was quite unlucky, as Roland emerged out of nowhere.
So, he was actually quite envious, if not jealous, of Roland.
He even wanted to beat Roland up while Roland was feeling good about himself.
But unfortunately, he knew that he couldn’t beat Roland.
In his fury, he could only s.h.i.+ft his attention elsewhere. He looked down and said, “The drama is about to begin. Let’s watch.”
Roland looked down too.
The baldy who stood in Alfred’s way stared at the young man in the white robe in fascination.
Alfred had a square face and was as stout as Tobian.
Also, they were a lot like each other.
The man must be his son.
Tobian remembered that, when he was young, he claimed a woman for a few days against her will. Then, she went abroad with her husband. He didn’t know that she was pregnant with his baby.
However, this young man did not seem to be aware of his real ident.i.ty or the relations.h.i.+p between them.
“I think we should talk.” Tobian had no children yet, as it was hard for professionals to have offspring. He was rather delighted to see one. “This doesn’t have to happen between us, son.”
Alfred’s face became awful at first. Then he sneered, “Who do you think you are? You think you’re qualified to talk to me in private? Get out of the way!”
Looking at Alfred’s face that was as cold as ice, Tobian subconsciously stepped aside.
He was not afraid of the young man; he simply didn’t want to have a direct conflict with him.
He thought that the two of them could still talk.
Watching Alfred go away proudly, Tobian took a deep breath and left the lobby too.
Chewing a fruit, Roland asked, “Is this the drama you mentioned?”
“It is, in my eyes. A father and a son have become sworn enemies. Is it not fun?” Antis laughed. “More importantly, both of them know their relations.h.i.+p.”
