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

“No.” Stephanie shook her head. “My dead husband was an orphan, or I wouldn’t have taken him as my husband. But I didn’t expect that… Forget it, let’s not talk about my late husband. The woman outside is one of my father’s mistresses, otherwise I would’ve killed her a long time ago. Her brother tried to molest me in the dark during a banquet. I kicked him in the nuts and blew them up. A normal man would feel pain for a while when their b.a.l.l.s were gone, and then they would be fine just like the eunuchs. However, her brother was so weak that he died after his b.a.l.l.s exploded.”

Roland felt extremely uncomfortable as he listened.

Andonara chuckled. “That’s exactly how you should deal with hara.s.sing men. Unfortunately, I only broke their hands before.”

“You are the queen. Did anyone dare to hara.s.s you?”

Andonara heaved a sigh. “The old king was very cold to me, so many powerful men didn’t think that I was a big deal.”

“But you are a Legendary Swordsman right now. I don’t think anybody dares to do anything to you now, do they?” Stephanie dragged Andonara into a big room. After Roland came in, she clapped her hands and said to the butler, “Serve the wine, fruits, and cakes.”

The butler left with her order.

Roland sat down and asked while she wasn’t talking to Andonara, “First Princess, have you gathered any intelligence regarding the deaths of the a.s.sociation of Mages’ deputy chairman and General Louis?”

“No, not at all.” Stephanie shook her head. “I even asked Great Cousin Grandpa Alfred yesterday. He said he didn’t find any traces either. But I didn’t tell him that you found the residues of magical elements.”

That was understandable. The residues of magical elements suggested that a Mage committed the murder.

The odds were slim that Alfred was the murderer, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t keep certain criminal matters to himself for the honor of the a.s.sociation of Mages after he learned that a Mage was involved.

Frowning, Roland was going to ask again, but he suddenly received a system notification. Someone just left a message and pinged him in the guild system. He opened the system menu and saw Schuck’s message.

Schuck: “I found a piece of interesting information. The First Princess killed her husband not because her husband cheated on her but for other reasons. If possible, can you ask her about it? My newly-established intelligence squad is too inexperienced. This is the best they can find.”

Briefly dazed, Roland raised his head and looked at Stephanie.

Women were always sensitive about men’s eyes, and Stephanie was no exception.

She had been talking to Andonara in a low voice, when she suddenly turned to Roland and asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

Andonara looked at Roland curiously too.

Roland thought for a moment and decided that it didn’t have to be kept a secret. He had been hired by Stephanie to help anyway. He simply said, “I said earlier that I know Schuck.”

Stephanie nodded. “I believe you.” “For certain reasons, he’s looking into the case too,” said Roland.

Stephanie’s face instantly changed. “The Holy Realm is involved too? What do they want?”

Stephanie’s anxiety was understandable; the Church of Light had been keeping a low profile for two hundred years.

Was their investigation on this matter the sign of certain changes to come?

“The Holy Realm isn’t involved. This is Schuck’s personal investigation,” Roland explained. “When I said that the case was partly related to me, I wasn’t lying to you. It involves some secrets of the Golden Sons that I can’t talk about.”

Stephanie glanced at Andonara. She was of the mind to say something like “You can’t even tell Anna,” but having been taught a lesson, she did not dare to say things like that anymore.

Roland was not stupid. He knew what was on Stephanie’s mind from her eyes. He said, “You can’t hear it even if I tell it to you. For example, capitalism…” Stephanie looked rather strange, because she had just heard some m.u.f.fled syllables.

Andonara wasn’t surprised at all. Back in Delpon, when she overheard Roland and his friends’ conversation, she heard similar meaningless noises all the time.

“You Golden Sons are really strange.” Stephanie clicked her tongue. “That seems to be information blockage on the level of natural law.”

Roland shrugged. “Also, my friend Schuck wants to ask you why you killed your late husband. He’s very curious.”

Stephanie didn’t look too happy. “Why is he looking into that?”

“It may be related to the cases we’re working on.”

After a moment of hesitation, Stephanie said, “It’s fine if he wants to know the reason, but we need to make a deal. Can you arrange a meeting for us?”

“Let me ask him!”Then, Roland left a message in the guild system. Less than a minute later, Roland said, “Okay, he’s on board. You can meet him in the Moonlight Stone Tavern in an hour.”

Stephanie’s eyes widened. “Wait. You didn’t even go out or use any magic. How did you reach out to him?”

“The Golden Sons have special ways of communication.”

Stephanie furrowed her eyebrow. “You’re undying to begin with, and you also have special ways of communication? That’s too outrageous.” Roland spread his hands.

“Can I join you? Or can your bloodline be inherited on our side?” asked Stephanie.

She wasn’t the only person who was curious about that.

Everybody was intrigued and wanted the ability to be undying.

However, up until now, n.o.body had unraveled the secret of how the Golden Sons never died.
