237 Kill Him (1/2)

Although Schuck was extraordinarily handsome, human beings had a unique sensory system, and just because his Charm was high didn't mean that all females would like him.

Extreme things could often inspire strong like or dislike.

For example, sweet douhua was delicious, but some people preferred salty douhua and found sweet douhua disgusting.

By the same logic, Schuck could make about twenty percent of girls fall in love with him the moment they saw him, and another twenty percent would also like him after getting to know him.

But that was his best.

Roland would not find it odd whether or not Andonara had feelings for Schuck.

Noticing that Schuck left for the woods, he knew that Husseret had achieved something.

He turned in that direction too.

After all, the epic quest to escort the queen to a safe place had been accomplished. It was not a problem at all to return.

More importantly, Roland found that Andonara was so strong that she didn't need his protection at all.

Walking on foot was naturally not as fast as flying with wings.

So, when Roland arrived at the spot, he saw nothing but the fierce wildfire as well as the bodies of the royal guards.

Most of the bodies were blackened, emitting the fragrance of meat.

Some of them had been slashed or stabbed by sharp weapons.

In the middle of the fire, F6 looked at the dozens of royal guards that had been ”surrounded” by them.

At the center of the royal guards was a young man in glamorous clothes who was gnashing his teeth at Betta and Husseret.

The young man also looked fearfully at the hovering red dragon now and then.

Roland and Andonara hid in the shadows in the woods.

Crouching right next to Roland, the queen said in a low voice, ”That young man is the second prince.”

A prince?

Roland was slightly surprised. ”He set up an ambush against us in advance? Why?”

”He has atonement scrolls in his hand. The atonement scrolls your friend got probably came from him.” Andonara smiled and said, ”He must be here to block me instead of you.”

Roland turned around and looked at her in confusion.

”The second prince is a… lustful guy,” Andonara said in embarrassment. ”He's one of the few people who know my strength. He probably wanted to force me to leave the royal family with the atonement scrolls so that he could kidnap me.”

Roland subconsciously felt that it was not right. ”You're allowed to do anything with the atonement scrolls, right? Since he's interested in you, was he not scared that someone else would take advantage of you?”

Roland knew very well that Andonara was wearing highly-revealing silk pajamas a few hours earlier.

At that time, Andonara seemed to have given herself up.

Well…

Roland had to admit that women were natural-born actresses, and that the more beautiful they were, the more deceptive they would be.

He felt lucky that he was not one of those men who was a slave to their sexual urges.

It seemed that the prince had lost both his woman and his soldiers.

Wait… Andonara was not exactly the second prince's woman. But he still got nothing in the end after all his schemes.

Actually, the queen's guess was only partially correct.

The king did not intend to kill Andonara. It was the second prince who spread the rumor that the king would do so.

The old butler worked for the second prince too.

It was just a show and a chance to distribute the atonement scrolls.

They also implied that the atonement scrolls could only be applied to Queen Andonara.

They planned to force the queen to run, so that the second prince could intercept, capture, and hide her.

As for the ambush… It was because only one of the guard squads would have accepted Husseret's bribery, and those guards were the second prince's men.
