531 Dont You Dare! (1/2)

Keenly noticing the chilly atmosphere, Stephanie immediately turned her head and said, Im not trying to separate you and Roland, Anna. Its just that if Roland goes to my territory and takes you away as well, there will be no one to protect me here in the capital. Who else do you think I can trust now besides you two? My damned ghost of ex-husband is now a lich.

She made a good point. Andonara hesitated. She wanted to be with Roland more than anything, but Stephanie was one of her few friends.

Then stay here and protect her. Roland smiled. I can teleport back to see you every few days, and you can meet me in Motasos County when you are free.

Andonara looked at Roland, then at Stephanie, and finally said, All right.

Seeing her agree, Stephanie was relieved and full of smiles.

Roland then handed over all the equipment in his Backpack that belonged to Andonara.

It was a set of epic equipment he had made.

It was probably on the level of purple equipment.

But if this purple equipment Roland had made were put on the market, it would be a bargain if the full set didnt sell for 300 to 400 gold coins.

After leaving the capital, Roland took the map and used Human Cannonball to fly to Motasos County, and then found the city of Motasos in the middle of the territory.

It was a large city with a population of one million.

It was surrounded by seven small cities with a population of 100,000 and more than thirty villages.

In Fareins, there were many cities with a population of one million.

And as the First Princess who was most likely to inherit the throne in Fareins, there was a reason why Stephanies territory allocated territory in Motasos County.

First of all, the citys proximity to the capital of Fareins made it particularly easy to get from one city to another in a day and a half by carriage.

The second reason was the abundance of horses here!

It was one of the five major horse-breeding regions in Fareins.

Half of the territory of Motasos County was prairie, seven small cities, and more than thirty villages, all of which raised horses.

With horses, there was cavalry In this world, cavalry was the height of warfare.

The presence or absence of cavalry, its number and strength, determined whether you fought with attrition tactics or simple annihilation. Countries without cavalry units, or with very weak cavalry units, could hardly extend their advantage in victory, even if their infantry was strong The old king of Fareins gave this territory to Stephanie with the true intention of making her his heir.

There werent many beggars on the roadside either.

It seemed that Stephanie had done a good job of managing the area.

Roland found the mayors residence and showed the appointment letter to the soldier guarding the gate.

Seeing the seal on it, and Stephanies handprint, the gatekeeper immediately invited Roland into the mayors residence.

Like any other territory, the mayors residence was essentially a large castle. Nearly a hundred elite, heavily armored infantry soldiers were stationed inside, while cavalry and other troops were on standby in the rear of the castles barracks.

The main hall of the castle was the council hall, with a high stone throne above the steps, behind which was a huge portrait of a woman.

In a low-cut dress, Stephanie, sitting sideways a white waterfall could be seen indistinctly looked dignified and noble, with a touch of sex appeal.

It was a nice painting, and it had already brought out seventy percent of Stephanies charm.

Roland had just stood there for a while when a middle-aged man dressed in a long black uniform and dressed quite professionally came over. He bowed to Roland and then said, I heard from the guards that His Excellency has brought the First Princesss appointment letter?

After showing the appointment letter again to the middle-aged steward for a moment, the bit of doubt in the middle-aged stewards mind immediately disappeared.

He bent down a little lower and said in a low voice, May I ask what the temporary lords honorable name is?

Just call me Roland. Storing the letter of appointment into his Backpack, Roland said, Help me notify the sheriff, tax collection officer, internal affairs officer, and all the officers related to the local defense to come here. I want to see them Tell them, within one hour, I want to see them here, and whoever does not come on time, Ill dismiss him.

The middle-aged steward trembled and immediately retreated.

Roland, on the other hand, slowly walked up to the platform and sat down on the stone throne.

He began to browse the forum.

This was a very entertaining way to pass the time, and for Roland, time passed very quickly.

In about half an hour, two people had already come in.

However, they just found their seats and ignored Roland.

Even though Roland knew theyd arrived, he didnt say anything and continued to browse the forum.

As time went by, more and more people came in.

When almost an hour had passed, eight people had already sat down in the main hall.

These eight people sat below, whispering, and even looked at Roland from time to time, arrogance in their eyes.

Roland waited a little longer, and seeing that no more people came in and that the time was just right, he closed the forum.
