Chapter 507 - I Want To Be Undying Too (1/2)

The woman’s voice was high-pitched and filled with fury.

However, the gate of the manor was tightly closed. n.o.body even bothered to come out and check, as if they were already used to it.

Roland and Andonara observed the situation from a distance.

The dozens of soldiers, fully armed and wearing leather armor, looked rather intimidating, but upon closer look, they were clearly skinny and emaciated.

Besides, their equipment seemed old and outdated too. “Is she the First Princess’s husband’s sister?” Roland observed for a moment and put down the curtain. “Should we go home and come back later?”

Andonara said with a smile, “That’s not necessary. We can go in through the secret tunnel on the right side.”

“How do you know that?” Roland was rather curious.

“Stephanie told me,” replied Andonara with a smile.

Roland was slightly surprised. He raised his eyebrow. Generally speaking, such tunnels were for emergencies and would be kept a secret from anyone that wasn’t trustworthy.

Even more unbelievably, Stephanie had told Andonara about the secret tunnel even though they had only known each for several days.

Was Stephanie a silly and innocent woman?

Unlikely.

After a couple of days, Roland had already gotten to know Stephanie.

He found her to be a rich and pretty lady whose capabilities were above average. She wasn’t exactly a genius, but she definitely wasn’t stupid.

She was slightly arrogant because of the environment she grew up in, but she knew when to reflect on herself and when to give in.

She was not bad for a descendant of a n.o.ble family.

Then, why would such a woman, who wasn’t stupid, tell Andonara of the critical existence of the secret tunnel?

Was it because Andonara was too approachable?

Roland looked at the lovable woman next to him and found it unlikely too.

Therefore… Could women really build up their friends.h.i.+p so fast? Roland dropped the matter after a moment of consideration.

Roland was fairly good at math, but he didn’t think that he could solve problems about women.

Einstein once said that he could understand the Theory of Relativity but he couldn’t understand women.

Confucius also said that women could be extremely difficult to take care of.

Those two bigshots were among the most brilliant stars in the history of mankind, but even they couldn’t figure out women, so Roland would rather not waste time wondering what Stephanie was thinking.

The carriage came to the right side of the large manor along the woods at the edge.

Getting out of the carriage, Andonara asked the driver to go first. Then, she searched the grim wood with Roland and found a ring on the ground that was covered by leaves. She pulled the ring, and a dim tunnel was revealed. She came in with Roland, closed the tunnel, and led the way.

The tunnel reeked of sand and stone.

They walked about five minutes, and climbed about five meters on helical stairs. Then opened the door and saw Stephanie before them in a low-cut white dress.

The dress was so thin that it almost looked like a pajama. Stephanie was very happy to see Andonara. She hugged her and held her hand with a smile. “I knew you would come this way. Thank you for forgiving me.”

Andonara nodded. “We can still be friends as long as you don’t foment trouble between me and Roland again.”

“I certainly don’t dare to do that again.” Stephanie put on a bitter smile and said to Roland, “Thank you for forgiving my impudence, sir.”

Roland waved his hand. “You’re welcome. I’m doing this for myself.”

Roland was talking about the epic quest. It would be a shame to abandon such a huge amount of experience to be rewarded.

Stephanie only made a slight attempt to turn him and Andonara against each other. It was more like a next-door neighbor’s gossip, which was annoying but not a big deal.

Besides, she had already apologized. It would be a shame if he were to give up the reward of the epic quest just because he was slightly b.u.mmed.

But Stephanie didn’t quite believe it. She thought Roland was only helping her for Andonara’s sake.

Holding Andonara’s hand, Stephanie walked forward quickly. Her curves were accentuated by her pajamas.

Walking behind them, Roland looked at the two women’s back and subconsciously compared them.

The two of them had similar heights and the same charming curves, but Andonara had a beautiful, bright golden ponytail that almost reached her ankles. It also seemed to be glowing. It made her much prettier.

Then, Roland heard Andonara asking, “I saw someone was blocking your gate just now. Is she your late husband’s sister?”
