376 Is It Fun? (2/2)

”It's always a good thing to learn more abilities,” Roland said with a smile. ”The only disadvantage of the Great Swordsman is that they can't deal effective damage to pure magic creatures, but you've made up for that. If you keep growing, I'm sure that few people will be a match for you in this world.”

”But you're definitely one of them.” Andonara walked to Roland voluntarily and drew a circle on Roland's chest with her finger. ”I could never resist you. You can put me in any position you want.”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled as if they were speaking for her.

Roland felt that he had to calm himself down.

So he ran out of the Magic Tower and left for the mayor's residence.

He had been told that John Junior's lifestyle had been quite fixed.

The man took care of his garden every day and occasionally visited the best prostitutes in town.

He was living his life like the unworthy son of a magnate.

He seemed to have completely lost his determination and ambition.

When Roland came to the mayor's residence, the two guards were about to stop him, but after recognizing Roland, they didn't say or do anything and simply let him walk into the castle as if they didn't see him.

Soft green grass was growing everywhere in the spacious yard inside the castle.

It was a sunny day. Under an enormous parasol, the mayor's wife and daughter were having afternoon tea.

There were a lot of cakes, fruits, and delicious fruit wine on the table.

A couple of servants and three cooks were at their service.

The mayor's wife and Miss John were having a great time, until Roland's sudden arrival drew their attention.

When they saw Roland, they both stood up nervously.

They had hated Roland before. But now that a year had passed, their hate was mostly gone, and all that was left was fear.

The nobles were generally not very close to their kinsmen and friends.

Roland came to them and smiled. ”Sorry for the intrusion, but I would like to speak to John Junior. Is he at home?”

”He's in the study on the second floor,” said the mayor's wife timidly.

”Thank you.”

Roland nodded and entered the castle.

Watching Roland disappear into the castle, both of the women were greatly relieved.

As a matter of fact, they loved their present life.

They were carefree, and their living standards had been improved. Though Roland claimed half of the taxes, their expenses had been greatly reduced because they did not need to maintain a troop of three thousand soldiers anymore.

Now that the money was spent on their personal lives, they couldn't have enjoyed themselves more.

Also, Roland never forbade them from going anywhere. They were even more at ease than when the old mayor was alive.

Roland found the study on the second floor and knocked on the door.

”Come in.”

Pushing the door open, Roland saw a gloomy young man reading what appeared to be the biography of a knight in front of the desk.

John Junior turned around and saw Roland. His expression immediately became complicated.

Holding his arms against the door, Roland said mockingly, ”Is it fun to try to assassinate me while the Golden Sons are in conflict?”
