Chapter 506 - Come Out If You Think You’re Good (1/2)

Stephanie looked sincere and serious.

Pondering for a moment, Roland said, “But I’ve been brought here by Alfred just to broaden my mind. I need to ask him if I am allowed to help you.”

This was a matter of stance. It was fine when Roland offered a few ideas to Stephanie, but if he were to be hired by Stephanie, he would really be considered to be on her side. He hadn’t forgotten yet that he still belonged to the Red Magic Tower.

He was now studying in the Red Magic Tower, and he was quite grateful to them. “You don’t seem like someone who cares about whom you work for.” Stephanie wasn’t really convinced.

Roland agreed. “No, not really. I won’t join any force easily, but several people in the Red Magic Tower are my teachers. I have to pay them enough respect.”

Stephanie glanced at Andonara and asked, “If the Red Magic Tower is really my enemy, and if Andonara is willing to help me, you still won’t help Andonara?”

Stephanie was apparently trying to turn them against each other.

Roland frowned.

If Roland were alone, this play wouldn’t have worked at all.

But Andonara was here.

Women thought differently from men.

On many occasions, what men thought to be unimportant was the fundamental reason for their disagreement in women’s eyes.

Right at this moment, Andonara suddenly stood next to Roland. She gazed at Stephanie coldly and said, “First Princess, you’re making me very uncomfortable. Please leave if you don’t have anything else to say.” Sensing the shaking body next to him, Roland turned his head and caught a glimpse of sorrow in Andonara’s eyes.

Stephanie was dazed for a long time, before she finally said, “Anna, aren’t we friends?”

“We were.” Andonara shook her head and said, “But not anymore. Friends shouldn’t play games with each other.”

Andonara was a queen who spent a fairly long time in the royal palace. She knew all the dirty games of the n.o.bles.

She wouldn’t mind if Stephanie was dealing with an outsider, but she was quite unhappy that she tried this on Roland.

“You…”

Andonara interrupted the First Princess. “Please go.”

Stephanie felt extremely uncomfortable seeing how serious Andonara was. She heaved a sigh and took Sharon, who had been watching the drama in silence, out of the room.

After Stephanie left, Andonara began to clean the cups on the table.

Roland asked, “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine,” Andonara said with a smile. “Friends are not as important as family, as my husband.”

Roland walked to her and held her in his arms.

Andonara gently hugged Roland back and buried her head in his chest.

This woman was unbelievably strong, yet she had a heart that was as soft as jelly.

At night, because she was unhappy, Andonara cuddled up to Roland.

They couldn’t do anything more than that. But as a woman, she was more focused on the pleasure of her mind. It was the happiest thing for Andonara to be physically close to the man she loved.

She would be happy when Roland was happy.

It was as simple as that.

The next morning, Andonara made breakfast for Roland after she woke up.

Because the Golden Sons didn’t need sleep, Roland had been surfing on the forum during the night while he lay in bed with Andonara.

Then, during breakfast, Roland received a message through the guild chat system.

Schuck: “Roland, wait for me at the Moonlight Stone Tavern at around half past eight.”

Half past eight… There was still an hour to go. Roland enjoyed the breakfast that Andonara made and then walked to the Moonlight Stone Tavern unhurriedly.

By the time he arrived, Schuck was already waiting for him at the usual table.

Roland walked to him and sat down. Then he asked with a smile, “What’s the rush?”

Schuck poured a cup of wine for Roland and said, “I applied for an investigation team, and the pope has approved my request.” “The Saint Samurai are truly powerful.”

“That’s not the only reason.” Schuck waved his fingers. “The Church of Light seems quite interested in the matter, so they accepted my request the moment I reported it.”

Roland’s face slightly changed. “Even the Church of Light is intrigued? This thing does not seem simple.”

Schuck chuckled. “How can an epic quest be simple? I’m told that you’ve made a connection with the First Princess, right? Later, you can acquire intelligence from the royal family while I look for leads on the Church of Light’s side. It won’t be hard for us to complete this quest.”

“I’m cut off from her now.”

Schuck was slightly surprised. “What happened?”

“The First Princess and Andonara became friends, but last time, she tried to play games with me and infuriated Andonara, who said that she wouldn’t be our friend anymore.” Roland found it rather amusing. “What can I say? Women can be very childish when they fight.” “That’s normal.” Schuck nodded and said, “All women are sentimental. That’s based on my personal experience.”

Roland shrugged. “Let’s put my matter aside. You looked rather awful yesterday. Did you find anything wrong when the Holy Lady examined your mind?”.

Schuck shook his head. “There was no sign of mental control. I a.s.sume that I was just too c.o.c.ky. After all, I’ve been an ordinary person in reality but a revered Saint Samurai in this place, so my personality might’ve changed. It seems that I’m just a scoundrel who becomes arrogant the moment he has power.”

“Don’t say that.” Roland shook his head. “If I were you and had your power, I wouldn’t have been better than you.”
