Stephanie France is the full name of the eldest princess.
Royal members of almost all human countries use the country's name as their surname.
This custom itself was brought out by the French royal family.
As the eldest princess and the king's favorite eldest daughter, Stephanie has never been wronged since she was a child. Life has been going smoothly. Although she had a rather arrogant temper at the time, she was not bad at heart. The bosses of other forces were too lazy to argue with a young girl.
It wasn't until she was sixteen that she felt so bored that she accepted the mission to be an envoy to Hollevin.
Then she was beaten for the first time.
I almost cried when I was beaten by my peers.
And she had no reason to be angry. After all, it was normal for her to be beaten up if she spoke rudely at the other party's wedding.
Moreover, Stephanie at that time was not as powerful as she is now. Even if she wanted to deal with the Hollevin Kingdom, it would not be that easy.
After all, in a feudal country, no matter how much control the royal family has over the local lords, it is impossible to send an expeditionary team to deal with the Hollevan Kingdom because of this trivial matter.
Andonara, who beat her so hard that she almost cried, had a very special status in Stephanie's heart.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Andonara virtuously laying a quilt for Roland.
The two pulled down their hoods. Stephanie looked at Andonara and said strangely: "Why don't you find a maid to do these things? You are the queen and a legendary swordsman, no matter which status you have. , you shouldn’t do these jobs.”
"What should you do and shouldn't do to cook for your man and help him lay the quilt?" Andona turned around and looked at Stephanie: "This is a wife's duty. Or, you Frank Don’t all the women in the Sri Lankan royal family know how to get along with husband and wife?”
Um!
Stephanie's expression was solemn: "Although Mr. Roland is the son of gold, there is really no need for you to be like this."
When she spoke, she looked distressed.
Roland interjected from the side and said, "You three, let's chat. I'll sit in the living room for a while."
Three women were in a drama, and Roland didn't want to get involved.
He took the initiative to walk to the living room and helped the three of them close the bedroom door.
This time, he did not deduce magic data or read the forum. Instead, he entered the chat interface of the guild system and @Shuke.
Roland: Shuke, are you still in the King of France? I'm here now. Let's find a time to get together and chat tomorrow.
Shuke: Are you here too? Wait... I heard just ten minutes ago that a mage from the Golden Son beat up the eldest princess Stephanie. It couldn't be you.
Roland: I must be right.
Shuke: Tsk, awesome. Let's meet at the Moonstone Tavern in the city around eight o'clock tomorrow morning, just after breakfast.
Roland: OK.
Shuke: I have something else to do here. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
Then Roland had nothing to do, so he started to open the system interface and continued to deduce the data of the 'self-destructing small fireball' technique.
Time flies when you are immersed in research.
About half an hour later, the bedroom door opened, and Princess Stephanie came out. When she passed by Roland, she said: "Sir Roland, if it is possible, I hope you can take Andonara with you tomorrow afternoon." Come to the afternoon tea I’m hosting.”
Roland pondered for a while.
In his opinion, the so-called afternoon tea is nothing more than gossip among women.
Instead of participating in such an event, it would be better to lock yourself in a room, even if you don't study magic, just read the forum and see what big news the current troll netizens have made, which would be more enjoyable.
Of course, this is also what he thinks as a straight man.
If it were other male players who knew how to flirt with girls, they would have agreed immediately.
After all, Stephanie is really beautiful and has a good figure.
"If you really can't be there, you can ask Andona to come over."
The eldest princess's words revealed her true purpose.
It turned out that he was incidental. Roland shrugged helplessly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Please, you must consider my opinion." Stephanie said with a slightly stronger tone, but not harshly: "I really hope that you can come."
Is this a remedy
Roland chuckled and said nothing.
Seeing Roland's indifference, Stephanie clicked her tongue slightly, then turned around and left with Sharon.
Just a few seconds after the two left the room, Andonara came out of the room.
She sat next to Roland and said, "This princess is different from before. She used to be arrogant and domineering, but now she is willing to listen to others."
"People always grow, especially after being beaten by you." Roland smiled and said, "Are you planning to attend the princess's afternoon tea tomorrow?"
"Well, I haven't decided yet."
Now Andonara's perception of the eldest princess has changed a lot.
She really wanted to attend the afternoon tea hosted by the eldest princess, because the eldest princess had said that she would only invite a few familiar ladies to come.
There will be no other men.
In this way, Roland would not be jealous or cause any misunderstanding.
It's just that... she really wanted to be by Roland's side.
Seeing her tangled look, Roland smiled and said, "I'm going to meet an old friend tomorrow, and it wouldn't be a good idea to bring you with me. The eldest princess just invites you, so just agree."
Having lived together for more than a year, Roland naturally knew that Andonara liked to have afternoon tea with friends.
This is how she relaxes and socializes.
When she was in Huolaiwen, as long as it wasn't windy or rainy, Andonara would always invite the city lord's wife and other ladies over for afternoon tea.
A few women drank a few glasses of fruit wine and ate a few pastries, chatting happily until the evening.
The kind that is still unfinished.
Hearing what Roland said, Andonara nodded: "Then I will come back early tomorrow."
The next day, after Roland washed up, he went to the Moonstone Tavern.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Roland saw Shuke.
The boy was surrounded by three female bartenders, who were chattering to him about the signature wine and signature dishes in the tavern.
And the atmosphere between the three female bartenders seemed a little bad.
Shuke looked helpless.
Roland walked over and sat down opposite Shuke.
Shuke casually mentioned several dishes, and the three female bartenders had to leave to make preparations.
The three waitresses took three steps, then stopped and looked back, looking quite reluctant to leave.
Seeing this, Roland shook his head helplessly: "As expected of you, you will always attract bees and butterflies wherever you go."
"It's normal. Who told me to be so handsome?" Shuke smiled matter-of-factly, and then asked, "Why are you here?"
Roland then told the origin of the matter.
After listening, Shuke was a little strange: "It is true that we have some cooperation with the Magic Association recently, but they are all relatively small things. Haven't I heard of any big events?"
Roland spread his hands: "Then I don't know. Anyway, I just came here to read."
"Maybe it's a confidential matter. After all, we paladins don't need to deal with internal affairs, so it's normal not to tell us." Shuke nodded indifferently.
Roland looked around and asked, "Where is your little dragon girl? She didn't come with you?"
"She's still sleeping. Dragons tend to be lethargic."
While Shu Ke was talking, a female bartender brought a plate of meat and vegetables. She pulled her neckline very low, revealing two big balls of fat, and even gave Shu Ke a wink.
It's a pity that Shuke completely pretended not to see it.
The female bartender left very disappointed.
Shuke used a bladed fork to pick up some pieces of meat on his plate, took a bite, and continued: "You have to be more careful when staying in the royal city recently. I always feel that something is not right, as if something is going to happen. It's just a pity. I have been here for too short a time and have not established my own team. I am completely blind and can only judge many things based on my feelings."
"It's none of my business. I'm just a passing onlooker." Roland didn't think it was a big deal: "Even if a civil war breaks out in the Kingdom of France, I can just teleport away and nothing will happen to me."
Shu Ke envied: "Being able to teleport means you can do whatever you want."
"You have the nerve to accuse me? You don't have to do anything to get a dozen gold coins every month, you have a dragon to mount, and the status of the paladin is extremely high. You still envy me like this, are you a human being?"
Shuke smiled and said: "They are all envious of others' pride and cannot see what they have and what others have not."
Afterwards, the two of them ate, drank and chatted in the tavern. Although they often met in real life, chatting in the game had a different flavor.
Because there is enough time.
After talking for six hours in the game, only two hours have passed in the real world, and they were still sleeping at night.
Chatting from morning till evening.
Chat about everything, in-game and out-of-game. Many times, chatting with friends just wants to get a feel for it, and it doesn’t matter what they talk about specifically.
When Roland returned to the Magic Association's guest room, he found that Andonara had already returned.
She is preparing dinner.
"Are you happy with today's afternoon tea?" Roland asked, standing aside and leaning against the wall.
Andonara turned her head: "It's okay, Stephanie takes good care of me. I can't understand the scandals mentioned by other noble ladies, but she will always explain them to me, and the fruit wine provided by the French royal family , much better than the fruit wine provided by the royal family of Hollevin."
Roland could see that Andonara was indeed much happier.
While at the Red Magic Tower, although Andonara also drank afternoon tea, she drank it alone most of the time.
Occasionally, I would drag Kitten Girl along, but how could Kitten Girl know how to 'drink' afternoon tea
The so-called afternoon tea, in the eyes of aristocratic women, is a means of social interaction, a place for information exchange, and the cultivation of interpersonal relationships.
Catwoman just drinks juice and eats cake.
Barely speaking.
Very boring.
Dinner was soon ready, and the two of them put the fresh dishes on the table in the living room. When they were about to start eating, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Roland opened the door and took a look and found several black-robed soldiers standing outside.
The leading soldier said hurriedly: "Sir, I'm very sorry. Can you bring your family members to the square where the flying boat docks? The vice president has been assassinated, and we need your cooperation to find the murderer."
Roland: Huh
