Chapter 498 - There Are No Peers That I Can’t Beat (2/2)

Sharon turned around and looked at Roland. “Please forgive me for overlooking you. I was too busy talking to the queen. May I know who you are?”

“Roland, no last name. I’m a Golden Son.” “No last name?” Sharon sounded rather suspicious.

She had thought that this man who made Andonara so sensitive and who didn’t look very handsome definitely had a powerful background, or he couldn’t have been worthy enough for a great talent like Andonara.

But he didn’t have a last name. Did this mean that he was a civilian?

All the Mages were unt.i.tled n.o.bles, but the young man couldn’t be very strong. He was still way below Queen Andonara even if he were a minor n.o.ble.

Why did Andonara end up with such a man? Was it really because of love? Wait… a Golden Son?

Sharon finally realized what was going on.

Although the players hadn’t entered the Fareins Kingdom on a large scale, the rumors about them had arrived before they did.

Those hilarious and mysterious stories made the Golden Sons quite famous, some in a good way and some in a bad way. Besides, there were Golden Sons in Fareins too.

Schuck, the newly promoted Saint Samurai in the Temple of Light, was praised as the most gifted Saint Samurai in the past three hundred years. He had almost become a Master after only two years.

Also, his strength was significantly boosted by the red dragon that he rode.

Furthermore, rumor had it that a group of Golden Sons who focused on hunting vampires had appeared near the capital. They all wore silver equipment. They usually made a living by taking mercenary missions, but whenever they spotted vampires, they would track them down and demolish all of them.

After that, they would sell the vampires’ bone powder on the market.

They were truly a bunch of brutal men.

Because of them, the market price of vampires’ bone powder had dropped by almost twenty percent. Sharon, as a female Mage who spent most of her time at home, had never been in contact with any Golden Sons. Schuck, on the other hand, always stayed in the Holy Realm and rode the red dragon whenever he was out. Only the royal family and the grand n.o.bles could meet him once in a while.

The Golden Sons who were devoted to hunting vampires were mysterious and couldn’t be seen easily, either.

Whenever they showed up, they were either selling bone powder, or on their way to selling

Sharon was quite interested in the Golden Sons as a community. She learned that the Golden Sons were mostly active in Hollevin and planned to visit them there someday.

She didn’t expect to meet a living Golden Son here.

She looked Roland up and down and couldn’t help but investigate Roland’s strength with her mental power, only to be shocked.

“You’re almost a Master now?” Sharon asked in surprise. “But you’re so young. You’ve been growing too fast even if you started learning magic when you were eight.”

Actually, Roland had studied magic for only two years.

But he didn’t need to brag about himself at this moment. He simply asked, “What did your First Princess do at Andonara’s wedding?”

Sharon looked at Andonara and then Roland and said, “I think it’s best that the queen tells the story.” “She was beaten up by me.” Andonara said rather embarra.s.sedly, “She was the head of Fareins’ mission group back then. At my wedding, she mocked other young n.o.bles and said that they were all weak wussies. Then, she mocked me because I would rather acquire power by marrying an old man than get it on my own…”

Andonara gradually lowered her voice as she talked on.

She stared Roland in the eye. Seeing that Roland wasn’t mad or upset, she was greatly relieved and continued, “I was very angry, so I had a duel with her and almost beat her to tears.”

A duel with Andonara?

Tsk. Roland shook her head.

Andonara had been very strong before she obtained the Phoenix Blood. The Great Swordsman was itself one of the three OP cla.s.ses.

It was almost impossible for someone else of Andonara’s level to defeat her.

Sharon smiled and said, “Our Princess Stephanie has always been an independent woman. She believes that a woman can thrive without counting on any man. Also, there have been female monarchs in Fareins before, so the First Princess’s dream was always to be the queen. It’s not a secret in Fareins. However, she was beaten into tears by you and almost lost her confidence because of it.”

Andonara cackled awkwardly. “I was too furious back then. How I wanted to live my life was none of her business. She had it coming for mocking me on my wedding day.”

Sharon put on a self-deprecating smile.

Fareins was the most powerful country in the human world. What about Hollevin? It was only as big as a medium-sized county in Fareins, which had 37 such counties.

A small n.o.ble of Fareins would be considered a grand n.o.ble in Hollevin, not to mention the members of the royal family such as the First Princess.

Not only did Andonara show her no respect, but she even beat her up. It was a miracle that the king of Hollevin didn’t punish Andonara.

Right when Sharon thought that, Andonara said, “After I beat up the cynical First Princess, the old king locked me up for two months as punishment. I was really angry. Although I knew that she was the princess of a major country, and what I did was a disaster for Hollevin, I couldn’t forgive my husband for putting me in custody.”
