357 Simple Woman (1/2)

Roland found it hard to answer Cage's questions.

His relationship with Andonara was complicated. They weren't exactly lovers, but they were definitely more than friends.

As long as Roland was willing, he could take the final step anytime he wanted.

Therefore, Roland did not reply but simply stood in silence.

After waiting for a long time without hearing a reply from Roland, Cage was slightly disappointed. He looked at Roland and said solemnly, ”Anna grew up under my watch. I'm both her sword art teacher and her uncle. To some extent, I'm half her father. I barely stop her from doing what she wants, but why do you think the royal family would allow you to take her away?”

Because of the slow transmission of news, and because the royal family had been keeping the queen's elopement a secret, Cage didn't know that the royal family had given up on the queen.

Roland said with a smile, ”There's no need to worry about the royal family.”

Eyes wide, Cage observed Roland suspiciously for a while, before he frowned and asked, ”Are you being confident, or cocky?”

”It's been a couple of months since Andonara came to me.” Roland stepped forward and said with his hands against the stone guardrail on the balcony, ”If the royal family had intended to deal with us, our lives would've been much harder.”

Cage patted the guardrail and said, ”You're quite good. I can sense that you're one of the best in the younger generation, but you're not as good as Anna. The royal family couldn't have backed off because you're strong.”

”What if I'm undying?”

Cage was shocked at first. In silence, he understood everything. ”So, you are a Golden Son. That explains a lot.”

Isolated as Reed Village was, there were still travelers here, and Cage had heard about the Golden Sons.

Not just other people, even Cage would feel scared if he had to fight a Golden Son, who could be resurrected even if he was killed.

Roland smiled at Cage modestly.

Cage turned around. With his back against the guardrail, he held his arms and said, ”Since she's willing to give up her title as the queen and go with you, she must trust you very much.”

Roland nodded. He had sensed it too.

”So, live up to Anna's expectations for you.”

Roland secretly sighed and asked, ”Andonara is very strong, but why is she troubled by a sense of insecurity?”

It was what puzzled Roland.
