Though the Association of Mages and the royal family weren't exactly on the same side, their relationship was quite complicated.

The chairmen of most Magic Towers had been invited by the royal family to dinners and entertainment.

Although Andonara was not crazy about parties, there were certain occasions where she had to show up with her king husband.

Therefore, a lot of people actually knew her and had met her before.

Andonara, being an antisocial person, remembered few celebrities she met, but she had left a deep impression on everybody who had seen her with her beautiful appearance.

Many of them fell in love with her, or even wanted to do other things with her, after meeting her.

The chairman of this particular Magic Tower had seen Andonara at Princess Veronica's birthday party a year earlier. He was quite mesmerized by her.

A year had passed, and Andonara was now before his eyes again just when he was starting to forget her beauty.

Holding Roland's hand, Andonara was rather surprised. ”And you are…?”

”Yelia, chairman of the local Magic Tower.” The middle-aged man glanced at Roland in confusion. ”Your Majesty, who is this guy next to you?”

Because the royal family kept a low profile, only few nobles and some people in Delpon knew that Andonara had been lured away. Those informed nobles might gossip with each other but would not spread the news.

Many people in Delpon were aware of it, but they were too insignificant and uninfluential to convince people in other cities.

So, in Yelia's eyes, Andonara was still an honorable queen who was supposed to stay in the royal palace instead of here.

Besides, did the king know that the queen was so intimate with a young man?

Andonara was about to reply that he was her man.

But Roland spoke faster. ”I'm Roland, chairman of the Magic Tower in Delpon.”

”Roland from Delpon?” The middle-aged man's eyes glittered. He had been rather interested in Queen Andonara, but the moment he heard Roland's name, he forgot all about the queen and stepped forward. ”The Roland who invented the derivative models of Hand of Magic?”

Roland nodded. ”That's me.”

”Come on.” He grabbed Roland's hand and pulled him to the Magic Tower. ”There's something that has been confusing me. Please enlighten me.”

Roland chuckled and followed Yelia into the Magic Tower.

Andonara and the rest of the group followed them.

Andonara couldn't help but smile at Roland's background.

She was slightly worried when Yelia focused all his attention on her without talking to Roland first.

After all, identity and face mattered in this world, and Andonara feared that she would be the center of most people's attention because of her old identity, like what happened just now, and that Roland's pride as a man would be hurt.

In any case, Roland was the best Mage of his level, and he could easily attract people's attention, while she could be the woman behind him.

Yelia entered the Magic Tower holding Roland's hand.

The Magic Tower of Liguburg City was larger in size than the one in Delpon. Its first floor was also in the KTV style, with all kinds of colorful magic crystal lamps on the wall.

Yelia led Roland to the fourth floor of the Magic Tower while the magic apprentices and Andonara were entertained on the second floor.

Andonara, in particular, was served by three female magic apprentices and four maids that a butler-looking man sent.

Both parties exchanged formalities warmly and discreetly.

Until the two chairmen returned from the fourth floor, they couldn't really decide how they should get along with each other.

So, they kept up formalities for now.
