Chapter 511 - The King’s Uncle Has Done a Lot of Harm (2/2)
Schuck explained, “It’s normal for the royal family, the a.s.sociation of Mages, and our Temple of Light to watch the show. After all, we have to maintain the balance of power, and won’t get involved easily. But it’s not right for those medium and small powers to be watching the show as well. It’s reasonable to say that now is the time for them to perform, and their performance in this farce will directly affect their impression in the hearts of the big powers, and if they’re lucky, they can rise to greater heights and hang onto the larger forces, using them to intimidate others.”
Margret was almost asleep again. “What you’re saying is so complicated, I can’t understand you.”
Schuck chuckled. Margret was underage and dragons had never been ones to think too much about things.
It was true that she didn’t like to listen to these musings.
After reading the information, Schuck was not discouraged, even though he didn’t come up with any useful clues.
Just because he met a dead end didn’t mean that Roland didn’t obtain anything.
At this moment, Roland was standing in front of a bookshelf. He looked at the arrangement of books on top of the shelf, then turned his head and asked, “Stephanie, who else have you given the key to this library to besides us?”
“I’m the only one with a key, no one else gets in.”
Stephanie was leaning against the wall, chatting quietly with Andonara, and continued in response, “Besides me, only my dead husband had the key, but I retrieved it too. What happened?”
“It seems that other people besides us have been in here,” Roland said, pointing to the bookshelves. “I’ve used this shelf before, and the books weren’t laid out like this when I left.”
What!
Stephanie’s expression froze, then became a little nervous. “I heard the maidservants say earlier that strange noises are coming from the library from time to time, is there something evil lurking around?”
Roland shook his head slightly. “But I don’t sense any gloomy, cold magical elements, or evil mental power.”
Stephanie asked helplessly, “Could it be that you’re mistaken?”
“No way!”
Roland pulled up the photo he’d taken earlier before he left the library to confirm how many books were in the collection, and took a picture of each shelf in high-definition, which he then used as a directory.
Then a comparison was made, and sure enough, the books on the shelf had changed positions.
Next, Roland checked and cross-referenced each shelf once and then realized that only that one shelf just now had two books that were switched.
One of them was a diary and the other was the experience of some dark magic Mage.
Roland thought for a moment, then pulled out this diary and continued to read it.
July 18, XX1.
“I’m a little surprised that Stephanie cares a little about my feelings… she doesn’t seem as dominating as she appears on the outside.”
January 9, XX2.
“Some turtledove coat of arms n.o.bleman actually tried to invite Stephanie to his house right in front of me, he thinks nothing of me.”
February 27, XX2.
“This n.o.bleman’s wife has been seduced by me, she’s far worse than Stephanie, but somehow I feel excited. Shallow Charm really works.”
March 13, XX2. “Went hunting with some soon-to-be-adult eighth prince who accidentally shot a little girl who went into the woods to search for money, and then this prince threw the little girl’s body to the hounds. It was so cruel, but for some reason, I felt a little excited.”
June 10, XX2.
“The eighth prince who’s reached adulthood has been driven off to another territory, and I have one less friend I can talk to. I’ve hooked up with the wife of a turtledove n.o.ble again, and for some reason, I feel a little disgusted.”
September 13, XX2. “The fourteenth princess is so whorish, she actually called eight strong men for a group exercise, and looking at her face, which bears some resemblance to Stephanie’s, and watching her maneuver between many men, somehow made me so excited.”
July 14, XX3.
“The seventeenth book on princesses I bought was discovered by Stephanie, who looked disappointed. I was scared on the outside, but excited on the inside.”
November 4, XX3.
“Stephanie didn’t want to go to those parties, what will I do… She even got into a heated argument with me. She told me not to hang out with those sc.u.m. What does she know, it’s those sc.u.m that make it interesting.”
July 6, XX4.
“Stephanie is too stubborn and careful, she avoids a lot of my set-ups. It’s so boring. I expected to see the same plot as in the princess books, but Stephanie doesn’t take the bait. Why are you so upright, can’t you learn from some of your sisters?”
August 9, XX4.“I’m out of patience, I decided to use the Charm on Stephanie.”
The diary ended here and there was no follow-up.
This was a summary of the essence of the diary after Roland skimmed it and read only the important information.
No wonder Stephanie killed her husband. If it were any other woman, they probably would have wanted to kill the princess’s husband.
This is why… you shouldn’t read those perverted books, read too many of them and your mind will be contaminated.
A good couple was indirectly ruined by perverted stories. Roland put the diary back on the shelf. He had doubts as to who else had come into this library beside them and was only interested in the diary and dark magic.
Could it be…?
Roland walked back to the corner and asked, “First Princess, I have a question. Did you really kill your husband? Did you confirm that he truly died?”
