194 I Always Treat People With Sincerity (1/2)

The queen was kidnapped by a spellcaster?

Well… Roland suddenly thought of a lot of irrelevant things, which were understandable, because the queen must be very beautiful according to common sense.

Roland had met the princess yesterday. She was beautiful, so it was only natural that her mother was beautiful too.

Then, a spellcaster took the queen away. He didn't kill her but kidnapped her, and her beauty must be one of the reasons for that.

So, Roland's random thoughts were normal and reasonable for a man of his age.

Seeing Roland's reaction, the soldier chuckled. ”You seem very surprised, don't you?”

Roland asked back, ”Are you not surprised?”

”Not really.” The soldier shook his head. ”She's the king's third queen anyway.”

Huh?

Roland was even more surprised. ”Three queens have been taken away?”

The royal family of Hollevin seemed too lousy. Three queens had been taken away from the heavily guarded royal palace, and no lessons were learned at all?

The soldier's pretty face now revealed a smile. ”They weren't all taken away. The first queen was assassinated by a foreign country, the second queen died in an accident, and I don't think the third queen will meet a good end.”

”It seems that being the queen of Hollevin is a dangerous job,” Roland couldn't help but remark.

The pretty soldier nodded. ”Indeed. I'm told that every king in history had a couple of queens. The deceased queens died either in assassinations or in accidents. They say it's a special curse, but I don't know if it's true.”

”Every king?” Roland secretly clicked his tongue.

The pretty soldier nodded.

Roland suddenly thought of another question. ”Which queen is Princess Evelyn's mother?”

”You know Evelyn?” The pretty soldier was surprised.

”I'm just asking.”

Roland didn't tell the soldier that he had talked to Princess Evelyn only yesterday because it would sound like bragging.

The pretty soldier glanced at Roland with his big eyes and smiled. ”Princess Evelyn is the first queen's daughter.”

Oh… Roland nodded.

People were entering and exiting the gate. Many of them peeped at Roland and the soldier and left quietly.

The pretty soldier turned his head aside and said, ”I think it will take a while before Bard arrives. Do you want to take a rest in our lounge?”

Roland thought for a moment and said, ”Okay, thank you for your trouble.”

It was definitely not comfortable to be stared at by everyone on the road.

The pretty soldier said, ”You're too kind.”

Then, he led Roland to an aisle next to the city gate and opened a secret door.

There was a small room behind the door with a coverage of about fifteen square meters. Three soldiers were talking and laughing around a table.

The pretty soldier nodded at them and said gently, ”Get out. I need to occupy this place to entertain this Mage. If you see Bard outside, please tell him to come here.”

The soldiers ran out of the room quickly.

”They seem scared of you!” Roland sat down on a chair. ”I didn't know you were named Antis.”
