235 It Really Is One of the Bugs (2/2)

He waved his hand and was about to head back with his own men.

As he brushed past Roland, he suddenly turned his head and said, ”I was quite impressed with you. With Kaka dead, your willingness to come back and avenge his death proved your character. But I didn't expect that you wouldn't avenge him, and instead indulged in lust first. The queen is not like any other noblewoman, and if you engage in illicit relations once or twice now and then, without letting too many people know, perhaps His Majesty the King will turn a blind eye. But if you directly take her away, things will get ugly. The royal family also needs to save face.”

It seemed that the other side had really misunderstood.

Roland sighed in his heart. It was just hard to solve such a misunderstanding.

Because of the quest, he had to escort the queen to safety. Moreover, even if there was no quest, a poor woman who might be executed tomorrow was in front of him, he had to save her.

Once the queen was escorted away, the ”illicit relations” between the two of them would practically become a fact.

Not only would this affect his reputation among NPCs, there was also even a great possibility that it would make him a target of the royal family.

But he felt that this wasn't a big deal.

In reality, he couldn't be such a hero because he was concerned about his life, his family, and other factors.

However, in this game, in this world… with no threat of death, no family to worry about, and in a situation where there were almost no encumbrances, if he wasn't even willing to stand up and protect a ”weak woman,” then he really would've had grown a stick for nothing.

This was why he didn't care about Antis's misunderstanding and persuasion. ”It's a bit of trouble, but it's better than having a guilty conscience.”

”Having illicit relations and eloping, that's having a real guilty conscience, isn't it?” Antis subconsciously felt that something was wrong and retorted.

Roland laughed lightly. ”Think whatever you will.”

Antis stared deeply at Roland for a while, then finally waved his hand and left with his soldiers.

After Antis left, Andonara walked to Roland's side and said with a smile, ”Aren't you afraid people will get the wrong idea about you? Or are you willing to get intimate with me now?”

Roland said helplessly, ”It doesn't really matter to me whether other people misunderstand or not. Rather, you should have exercised restraint with your words just now, almost making Antis and us fight because of your nonsense. There were so many of them, and if they attacked, I might not have been able to protect you.”

”I'm not afraid—I'll protect you.” Andonara smiled and said with a matter-of-fact expression, ”Didn't I say, no one in the entire capital is a match for me. Although Antis has a lot of men, it wouldn't take much time for me to kill them all.”

Roland naturally didn't believe it. ”Your Highness the Queen, you're quite a liar.”

”You don't believe me?” The look on Andonara's face was quite mischievous.

Roland shrugged.

”Then I'll show you half of my strength.”

After Andonara smilingly said this, she pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword and then with a clank, the trees to her right all broke in two.

Trees of all sizes fell down, and thirty meters ahead, within a fan-shaped range of about eighty degrees, everything was severed.

”I can use an attack like that at least ten times a day.”

Roland was stunned for a moment, then slowly closed his gaping mouth.

No wonder the Great Swordsman was also one of the three officially certified bug professions.

This power, this attack speed… who was protecting whom?

Without the need for F6's protection, the queen could charge out of the capital by herself.

After a while, Roland looked at her and asked, ”Can I use my mental power and detect your rank?”

”Sure.”

The queen closed her eyes and tilted her head up a little, looking like she was at his mercy.
