199 Second Brother Isnt Stupid (1/2)

About an hour later, Roland left the command center.

Antis had told him a lot of things about the queen. He didn't know if Antis kept anything from him, but he did feel that he had acquired plenty of useful information.

This queen was the daughter of a noble and a swordswoman who majored in agility. Though she was not strong, she was really a professional.

Because of that, the king took her as his queen, because healthier, stronger women were more likely to give birth to smarter, sturdier kids.

The queen's name was Windy Charles, which was changed to Windy Hollevin after her marriage.

She was overall a regular noble lady, slightly vain but also caring.

Before she was kidnapped, she had a huge fight with another noble lady.

The queen's identity was honorable enough, but the lady whom she fought with was a blood relative of the royal family backed by a major force.

In this society, the king, the lords, and the nobles were dependent on each other. Although the king was the most powerful on the surface, he still had to consider the attitudes and interests of other grand nobles as well as the members of the royal family.

Apart from the fight, Antis also told Roland about the hobbies and habits of the queen.

Roland was slightly surprised when he heard it. He asked Antis why he knew so much about the queen's private life.

Antis, however, simply said that the queen was his distant relative and they used to play together as kids.

Well… Was this big capital nothing more than a small pond for the grand nobles?

Roland was going back to Kaka Bard's manor for a rest, when a carriage stopped in front of him.

Seeing the shield-shaped emblem on the carriage, Roland knew that it probably belonged to Felwood.

As he expected, when the curtain on the carriage was lifted, a familiar face appeared and said, ”Mr. Roland, please wait.”

Roland raised his eyebrow.

Felwood put the curtain down and got off the carriage. He stooped before Roland and said, ”It's an honor to meet you here, Mr. Roland.”

Felwood had been arrogant earlier, but not now. There was only delight on his face at this point.

”It seems that you've investigated me.” Roland eyed Felwood in an unfriendly way.

Felwood nodded and said, ”I apologize to you if it upsets you.”

It's difficult to hate someone who's smiling at you. Feeling less angry at him, Roland asked, ”How can I help you?”

”I'm wondering if you would like to visit my manor as a guest.”

Roland was stunned. Was it a gesture of friendliness?

He thought for a moment and shook his head. ”No, I don't think so. I'm going to Kaka's manor.”

”Are you saying that you want me to abandon Kaka and take your side?”

Felwood waved his hand and said, ”That's my intention, but I know you wouldn't do that, and I would be insulting you if I asked you to do so. I merely hope that you can drop by and have a chat with me in my manor when Kaka loses everything one day. I admire experts like you, and I believe we can be good friends.”

This Felwood is really good!

Roland was quite impressed, but he had known Kaka before he knew this guy. Heaving a soft sigh, he said, ”Let's talk about that later.”

Hearing what Roland said, Felwood put on a smile. ”I hope that we can talk about life and the future in my manor someday, sir.”
