Hearing Roland's words, Antis smiled lightly: "If the royal family really wanted to punish you, they wouldn't use the word please."
Eve'er looked at Roland expectantly.
In fact, she doesn't have much trust in Antis. She thinks Roland, who just saved her, is more trustworthy. She hoped that Roland could send her safely to the palace.
Even the manager who watched him grow up couldn't be trusted, so how much more trustworthy could his cousin Antis be.
Although it is unlikely that she will be attacked again, Eve'er is already feeling a bit like a snake.
Roland thought for a moment and nodded.
Then Antis led the city guards to escort the two of them to the palace.
While walking towards the palace, Roland saw several men in black robes standing on top of the tallest building in the distance.
One of them is obviously Molahu.
Although they were far apart, Roland could still feel their gazes looking over him, as if they were looking at dozens of long sharp blades, as if they wanted to cut his body into several pieces.
Roland smiled and pointed his fingers at them. Seeing this, the men in black robes disappeared on the roof one by one.
He was probably so angry that he couldn't stand it anymore and ran away.
Antis saw Roland's movements and followed his line of sight, but saw nothing.
But he also guessed what was going on.
Several people did not enter the palace, but went to the side hall next to the palace.
Antis took Eve directly to see Veronica, who was sleeping at this time.
Veronica felt uncomfortable and slept lightly. She woke up immediately when she heard the door opening.
There was a maid waiting in the room, and a candle was lit.
Sleeping on the gorgeous velvet blanket, Veronica looked towards the door. When she saw Eve, her expression was happy. When she saw Roland again, her expression immediately turned fierce.
"You bastard, what are you doing here? Did you lie to Andonara and want to lie to Sister Eve'er again?"
Veronica forced herself to sit up.
By this time Antis had left.
And Eve'er immediately ran over, supported Veronica's body, and said urgently: "Your body is still poisoned, don't show off."
Veroniere gasped weakly: "Don't worry, my poison has been cured."
Antis was stunned for a moment and laughed dryly: "It turns out that I am really stupid. I can be fooled like this."
In fact, she just cares about her relatives. If they were members of the royal family who had no family ties, they would never fall for such a little trick.
Veronica was stunned for a moment, and then her attention was attracted by Roland: "Sister Eve'er, why did you come here with this liar? Why did he enter our side hall?"
"Father invited him here."
Veronica leaned on Eve'er and said angrily: "Why didn't father just put him in jail and invite him over? Father's third wife was deceived by this man."
Eve'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Veronica glared at Roland for a while, and then she felt a little dizzy because she was so excited.
After all, the body has not been well taken care of yet.
At this time, Antis appeared again, pointing his fingers at Roland: "Come here, the king is waiting for you."
Roland followed Antis, turned down an aisle, and found at least twenty elite palace guards standing outside a large room ahead.
These guards wore heavy armor and were all very heroic.
Antis opened the door, waited for Roland to enter, and then closed it gently.
The room was large, and the white carpet extended from the door to the end of the room. There was a throne there, and on the throne was an old man. His body looked very strong, but his hair was already gray.
He was wearing white uniform, the skin on his face was loose, and his body was sitting upright, upright and imposing.
On both sides of the carpet, there were two teams of elite royal guards arrayed.
The heavy armor with blue background and white lines looks very artistic.
Roland took a few steps forward. When he was about ten meters away from the king, a man dressed as a civilian stood up and blocked Roland.
"That's enough. Don't go any further to alarm the king."
Roland shrugged indifferently, and then looked at the king.
And the king looked at him.
The two sides looked at each other for nearly a minute, and finally it was the king who broke the silence first: "It's different from what I imagined."
"Then, Your Majesty, what do you imagine me to be like?"
The king replied slowly: "At least he should be a handsome man, and his appearance should not be so ordinary."
Roland smiled and did not answer.
"I also have to thank you for sending Eve back." The king continued.
Roland stared into the king's eyes and said, "But I think the king doesn't seem to want her to come back."
The king did not speak, but stared at Roland unhappily.
The air was getting duller, and some of the guards had begun to sweat and gulp.
Roland smiled and looked at him without losing sight of him.
Finally, the king put away his unhappy expression and said slowly: "This is the responsibility of the royal family, especially the female members."
In fact, Roland had already guessed a lot of things.
The steward's betrayal was actually the king's order.
How could a person who had served the royal family for more than thirty years betray him casually
Eve'er is a chess piece, used to cause a battle between two forces.
The king planned to watch the fire from the other side and then reap the benefits.
As for Eve's safety, it was not at all the king's consideration.
It would be best if nothing happened, but if something happened...he would have even more excuses to annex the two forces as a chance for his daughter to take revenge.
As for which two forces they are, one of them is definitely the Thieves Guild, while Roland is not sure about the other. The information he had was too little to analyze.
After all, Esnes City is the territory of the Thieves Guild, and Eveel lives there, so it's easy to guess.
Roland didn't say anything. He didn't agree with the king's use of his daughter as a pawn. But he knew better that this king was determined, and the other party seemed to want to do something well, even if he had to pay a certain price for it.
The king stood up and continued: "My daughters are born with fine clothes and fine food. They live a much better life than ordinary people. But if you enjoy it, you have to pay. This is normal. Don't It is said that it is appropriate to use her, even if she is allowed to go to the battlefield."
"What a cold affection." Roland shook his head helplessly.
"There is no family relationship in the royal family." The king's expression was quite natural: "I invite you here this time, not to talk about the princess Eve'er. I just want to ask, is Andonara okay?"
Speaking of Andonara, Roland felt a little guilty. Although there was no negative contact between the two, he could not clean up the fact that he abducted other people's wives, so he could only carry the blame.
"Very good." Roland nodded.
Speaking of his third wife, the king's expression looked painful: "I never thought that Andonara would actually leave me."
