Stephanie's expression was sincere and she looked quite serious.
Roland pondered for a while and said: "But this time I was brought here by Elford to see the world. If I really want to help you, I have to tell him in advance. See if he allows it."
This involves the issue of positioning. Roland helped Stephanie with ideas before, which was reasonable. But if he was really hired by Stephanie, he would obviously be on the side of Stephanie's royal faction.
He has not forgotten that he is now a member of the Red Magic Tower.
Now that I am studying in the Red Magic Tower, I still have to have a basic sense of gratitude.
"You don't look like someone bound by power." Stephanie looked at him, not quite believing what he said.
Roland nodded: "Indeed, I will not join any force casually, but there are several teachers of mine in the Red Magic Tower. I don't ask for anything in return, but at least respect is still needed."
Stephanie glanced at Andonara and asked: "If the Red Magic Tower really has a grudge against me, even if Andonara is willing to help me, are you not willing to help Andonara?"
Stephanie's words were already suspected of provocation.
Roland frowned.
If it was just Roland himself, this little trick would have no effect at all.
But Andonara is here.
Women's thoughts and ways of thinking are not the same as men's.
Many times, things that men think are unimportant are, in their eyes, the original sin of their differences.
But at this moment, Andonara suddenly stood next to Roland. She looked at Stephanie coldly and said, "Princess, your words make me feel very uncomfortable. If nothing is wrong, please go first." leave."
Feeling the body of the woman next to him tremble slightly, Roland turned his head and found a little sadness in Andonara's eyes.
Stephanie was stunned, and she said after a while: "Ana, aren't we friends?"
"We were indeed friends before." Andonara shook her head and said, "But not anymore. There is not so much scheming between friends."
Andonara is also a queen after all. She has stayed in the palace, and she is fully aware of the dirty tricks among the nobles.
If Stephanie was targeting outsiders, Andonara wouldn't care, but if these little tricks were used on Roland, she wouldn't be very happy.
"you… "
Andonara interrupted the eldest princess: "Please leave."
Seeing Andonara's serious expression, Stephanie felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She sighed and left the room with Sharon, who had been beside her silently and only watching the show.
After Stephanie left, Andonara began to put away the cups on the table.
Roland asked: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Andonara shook her head, then smiled and said: "No matter how important friends are, they are not as important as relatives and husbands."
Roland walked over and hugged Andonara in his arms.
Andonara gently hugged Roland's waist and buried her head in his arms.
This woman is obviously extremely strong, but her heart is actually as soft as jelly.
In the evening, Andonara kept looking for Roland Niwai because she was unhappy.
Although there is still no way to break the defense, women pay more attention to spiritual pleasure. As long as they have substantial intimate contact with the man they love, it is an extremely happy thing for Andonara.
Make Roland happy and she will be happy too.
It's that simple.
The next morning, Andonara woke up and helped Roland start making breakfast.
Since the Golden Son didn't need to sleep, Roland just lay on his bed with Andonara in the middle of the night while browsing the forum.
Then while eating breakfast, Roland received a message that appeared in the guild chat system.
Shuke: Roland, wait for me at the Moonstone Tavern around 8:30.
Half past eight...an hour left.
Roland slowly tasted the breakfast made by Andonara, and then walked slowly to the Moonstone Tavern.
When he arrived at his destination, he saw the handsome guy Shu Ke already sitting in his old seat waiting for him.
Roland walked over, sat down, and then asked with a smile: "What's so urgent?"
Shuke poured Roland a glass of fruit wine and said, "I have applied for an investigation team, and the Pope has agreed."
"The power of the paladin is indeed powerful enough."
"That's not entirely the reason." Shuke shook his finger: "Our Temple of Light seems to be a little interested in this matter. When I brought it up, we agreed."
Roland's expression changed slightly: "Even the Temple of Light was alarmed. It seems that this matter is indeed not simple."
Shuke chuckled and said: "If it is simple, how can it be an epic mission? I heard that you have also hooked up with the eldest princess? When the time comes, you will collect information from the royal family, and I will look for clues from the Guangming Cult. With a two-pronged approach, it shouldn’t be difficult to complete this task.”
"It's broken again."
Shu Ke was slightly shocked: "What's going on?"
"The eldest princess and Andonara became friends, but she played some tricks last night and involved me. As a result, Andonara was annoyed and she took the initiative to break off the relationship." Roland also thought this was a bit ridiculous: " How should I put it, when women’s friendships get into trouble, it’s a bit like children’s quarrels.”
"It's normal." Shuke nodded and said, "Women are all emotional. This is my experience."
Roland shrugged: "Let's not talk about my affairs for now. You looked ugly yesterday. Go back to the saint to check your spirit. Did you find anything wrong?"
Shuke shook his head: "There is no sign of being mentally controlled. I guess I am really inflated. After all, in the real world, I have always been an ordinary person, but here I have become a paladin with a very high status. My personality may have changed a bit." Changes, the true colors have been revealed. It seems that I am just a villain who runs rampant when he is in power."
"That's what you said about yourself." Roland shook his head: "If it were me, with your status, I might not be much better off."
Shuke didn't believe it: "You are the actual controller of Delbon City. You are in charge of millions of people in a city. Your real power position is no worse than mine. I have never seen you expand."
"I'm very swollen." Roland said.
Shuke raised his chin: "Give me an example."
"For example, I now dare to say on the Internet that I have management experience in county-level cities."
Shuke suddenly burst into laughter: "It's indeed swollen enough."
The two gay friends chatted for nearly an hour and then broke up.
When Roland returned to the Magic Association, he walked in and saw a man in black robe leaning at the door.
Judging from her figure, she is probably Princess Stephanie.
What is she doing here again
Roland walked over and asked in a calm tone: "Princess, what are you doing outside the door?"
"I came here specifically for you." The hood was very big, and Stephanie's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but her pair of green pupils were quite bright in the shadows, like two beautiful eyes. Glowing Sapphire: "I already said hello to Elford not long ago, and he agreed that you can stay with me and be hired by me for a period of time."
"He actually agreed... Aren't you three powerful people checking and balancing each other?"
"No matter how much we check and balance, he is still a distant relative of mine. There is no need to stumble each other over this small matter."
Roland thought she was right.
Big people and powerful people should of course act more grandly.
But in fact, neither of them knew, and Elford was eager for the two of them to get together.
Stephanie continued: "So I ask you once again, if you can accept my appointment, I will pay a satisfactory price."
Roland thought for a while and asked, "Does the palace have a library?"
Stephanie smiled: "Yes."
"Do you have the authority to let people go in and take a look?"
Stephanie smiled even more happily: "Yes."
"Then it's a deal."
Stephanie looked around. There were only a few passers-by, and no one was curious about the two of them.
Although Stephanie's outfit looks a bit hidden, there are many people in the Magic Association who are ten times more weirdly dressed than her.
Don't be surprised.
Stephanie asked again: "Besides the right to enter the library, what else do you want?"
Roland thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not needed for the time being."
"Well, please bring Andonara to my manor this afternoon."
After finishing speaking, Stephanie turned and left.
Roland asked from behind: "Why don't you go in and sit down?"
"No need, you will naturally bring Anna over in the afternoon, don't be in a hurry." After Stephanie finished speaking, her figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
Roland shook his head helplessly, opened the door, and saw Andonara sitting in the living room.
"Did you hear everything?" Roland asked.
Andonara nodded, the legendary warrior's ears and eyes were very good. She hesitated for a while and said: "Roland, you don't need to consider me. If you feel that what Stephanie has entrusted you is not suitable, just refuse it."
Roland knew that Andonara was telling the truth, but it was rare for Andonara to have a friend, and it was what a man should do to help her maintain her life.
Besides, Stephanie knew her and corrected her mistakes very quickly, so she wouldn't be annoying for a long time.
"It's not all because of you, I have some things I want to resolve as well."
After all, Roland still has an epic mission hanging on him.
Starting to intervene from Stephanie's side can get more intelligence and clues. After all, she can call on more people.
Far better than one person fighting alone.
But Andonara didn't think so. She just thought Roland was doing it for herself, so she agreed to Stephanie's hiring suggestion.
She already loved Roland enough, but now she felt even more moved.
When he came up, he hugged Roland and said with a happy smile: "There are still more than two hours until the afternoon, let me help you cheer up."
Hmm... I want to experiment with magic, but I also want to have fun.
Roland became confused.
It’s so difficult to handle. Sure enough, having fun and studying can never be both.
In the end, Roland rejected Andonara's charming suggestion, mainly because he played too aggressively last night and now his kidneys are weak.
In the afternoon, Roland took a carriage to the eldest princess's manor. But unexpectedly, they discovered that outside the manor, there was a private soldier team of more than thirty people, blocking the door, seemingly preventing anyone from entering or exiting at will.
A lady shouted in a high-pitched voice at the door: "Stephanie, if you have the ability to kill my brother, come out if you have the ability!"
