The old king's full name was Rondox France.
He is a big boy.
Although he is over fifty years old, his personality is still as sincere and enthusiastic as a child.
This is the evaluation given to him by the aristocracy.
In fact, the old king Rondox's personal ability was not strong, and his quality as a king was very average.
But as the king of the most powerful human country in the world, he does not need to have too strong abilities, because with strong abilities and personal qualities, he is bound to think about progress and development.
Now the king of France has expanded to its limit. If it continues to expand, its dominance and centripetal force will inevitably be affected, and eventually the country will fall apart.
The most important task of the King of France at present is to maintain the balance among the major forces in the country.
Can unite most lords.
Have good emotional intelligence.
If you do these three things, you will be a good king of France.
In fact, Rondox did a good job, and most nobles and lords believed that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a king.
In the past thirty years, there has been no major event in France.
In the past two days, something went wrong.
Stephanie is missing.
The king's mistress died.
Biden appeared to have betrayed the king, and his hand was broken.
But the noble forces in the royal city were very calm and said that this was nothing.
It is not far away from the time when the old king abdicates and Stephanie becomes the queen. This is the so-called transition between the old and the new. It is normal for some strange things to suddenly appear.
After all, including illegitimate children, Rondox had more than a dozen sons, most of whom were adults. It was normal for one or two of them to be dissatisfied with Stephanie.
It's just civil strife in the royal family. It's a trivial matter. It's a trivial matter.
It'll be fine in a while.
This is the confidence of the noblest empire in history and the most powerful nation of intelligent creatures.
So what if there is civil strife in the royal family! As long as the majority of the lords and the majority of the forces are not in chaos, no one dares to invade the country of France.
Even if the dragon clan attacks, they will still be worthy.
Do you really think that more than a dozen legendary mages, more than 20 legendary warriors, and more than 100 legendary warriors from France are vegetarians
And here, the two sworn enemies, the Pope of Light and Black Spurs, are both heading towards the level of demigods.
They usually dislike each other, but once a powerful enemy attacks, everyone believes that the two of them will put aside their differences and fight against the enemy together.
Now almost all the nobles, including Elford, are watching the show.
In fact, with Elford's level and ability, he could quickly discover Roland and others hiding underground as long as he opened his mental force field on Stephanie's manor.
But after chatting with the old king, he found that what happened this time seemed to be just a farce, a farce for a father to test his daughter.
The king probably didn't cause the matter. He just knew something and just followed the trend.
After figuring out what was going on, Elford calmed down.
The immortal son of gold, Roland, whose talent is so high that he seems to be on par with Mordenkainen and Malv, is the person Elford values.
In this farce, it doesn't matter whether Stephanie is dead or alive, or how far her relationship with Roland has progressed.
It would be nice to survive and create some sparks with Roland.
If he died, he would sigh, but that's it.
Stephanie was indeed beautiful and a widow, so she might be to Roland's liking.
But there are many wives in the royal city who can rival her.
For example, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Impaler, Phyllis, also known as the Kingfisher. She has the most plump and white body in the entire royal city, which is when women are at their most beautiful and mature. She is also very decent and has no negative gossip. If Stephanie can't do it, Elford doesn't mind introducing her to Roland.
Another example is the half-blood succubus wife of the Red Fox Marquis. Although she is forty-seven years old, she still looks like a girl. More importantly, she has the dignity of an orthodox lady, but she also gives people a succubus look. She has a unique sense of color and aura, and this kind of mixed temperament should be very popular with Roland.
There are many similar candidates, but there is no suitable one in the Royal City. There are more than a hundred other city-shaped cities, thousands of medium-sized cities, and hundreds of millions of beautiful and mature women. There is always the type that Roland likes.
There is no shortage of beauties in France.
Never lacking.
Using one or several women to tie a genius mage to France's chariot is a very cost-effective deal.
Elford chatted with the old king for a few words and then left.
Almost all the forces in the city are waiting for the result.
Only a small group of forces are still investigating these things.
Shuke, the paladin of the Temple of Light.
He lives in a low-key and high-end house built for him by the Sanctuary, and is looking at the intelligence gathered by his subordinates.
The little red dragon princess Margaret walked downstairs with her bare feet, then lay on Shuke's lap, yawned long, and whispered: "I've been checking for so many days. Have you found anything?"
"Things are a little strange." Shuke freed up a hand and stroked the little princess's smooth hair: "It's not right that the whole city is watching the show."
"What's wrong?"
Shuke explained: "It is normal for the royal family, the Magic Association, and our Temple of Light to watch the show. After all, we have to maintain the balance of power and will not end easily. But it is wrong for those medium-sized forces and small forces to also watch the show. Logically speaking , now is the time for them to perform. Their performance in this farce will directly affect their rating in the hearts of the big forces. If they are lucky, they can reach the sky in one step and be affiliated with the big forces, pretending to be powerful."
Margaret was about to fall asleep again: "What you said is so troublesome, I can't understand it."
Shuke smiled, Margaret was not yet underage, and the Dragon Clan never liked to think too much about things.
She really didn't like hearing these things.
After reading the intelligence for a while, although he didn't get any useful clues, Shuke didn't feel discouraged.
Encountering a dead end on his side does not mean that there is nothing gained on Roland's side.
At this time, Roland was standing in front of a bookshelf. He looked at the arrangement of books on the bookshelf, then turned and asked, "Stephanie, besides us, who else have you given the key to this library?"
"Only I have the key, no one comes in."
Stephanie was leaning against the wall and chatting quietly with Andonara. After hearing this, she continued to reply: "Besides me, only my dead husband has the key, but I also recovered it. What happened? ?"
"Besides us, there seem to be other people who have entered the library." Roland pointed to the bookshelf and said, "I have used this bookshelf before. When I left, the arrangement of the books was not like this."
Um!
Stephanie's expression was stunned, and then she became a little nervous: "I heard from the maids before that there are some strange noises coming from this library from time to time. Is there something unclean at work?"
Roland shook his head slightly: "But I didn't feel any cold magic element or evil spiritual power."
Stephanie asked helplessly: "Could it be that you remembered it wrong?"
"impossible!"
Roland called up the photos he had taken before. Before he left the library, in order to confirm how many books there were, he took a photo of each bookshelf in high-definition camera mode and used it as a catalog index.
Then I compared it and found that the positions of the books on the bookshelf had changed.
Next, Roland checked each bookshelf and found that only the two books on the bookshelf just now were swapped.
One of them is a diary, and the other is the experience of a certain dark mage.
Roland thought for a while, took out the diary, and continued reading the pages from a few days ago.
July 18, XX1.
'I'm a little surprised that Stephanie actually cares about my feelings? She doesn't seem as strong as she appears. '
January 9, XX2.
"There was a nobleman with a dove tail who actually wanted to invite Stephanie to his home in front of me. He didn't take me seriously." '
February 27, XX2.
'I have seduced this nobleman's wife, who is far worse than Stephanie, but somehow I feel very excited. The shallow charm technique really works. '
March 13, XX2.
"I went hunting with the almost-adult Hachioji. He accidentally shot and killed the little girl who went into the woods to collect firewood. Then the Hachioji threw the little girl's body to feed the hunting dogs. It was so cruel, but I don't know why, I seemed a little excited. . '
June 10, XX2.
'The eighth prince has been driven away to his territory as an adult, and I have lost a friend with whom I can talk. I hooked up with the wife of the Dovetail Flower nobleman again. I don’t know why, but I feel a little disgusted. '
September 13, XX2.
'The Fourteenth Princess is so slutty, she actually invited eight strong men to participate in a multi-player exercise. Looking at her face that is very similar to Stephanie's, watching her dealing with many men, I don't know why, I feel so good excited. '
July 14, XX3.
'The seventeenth princess book I bought was discovered by Stephanie. Her expression was very disappointed. I was scared on the outside, but excited on the inside. '
November 4, XX3.
'Stephanie didn't want to attend those banquets, how could that be okay... She even had a heated argument with me. Don't let me associate with that trash. What does she know, trash is the only thing that is interesting. '
July 6, XX4.
'Stephanie is too stubborn and too cautious. She avoided many of my arrangements. It's so boring. I expected to see the same plot as in the princess book, but Stephanie didn't take the bait. Why are you so decent? Why don't you learn from your sisters? '
August 9, XX4.
'I ran out of patience, so I decided to use the charm on Stephanie. '
After writing this in the diary, there is no follow-up.
This is Roland's rough preview, the essence of the diary summarized after only looking at the important information.
No wonder Stephanie would kill her husband. If it were any other woman, she would probably also want to kill the prince-consort.
So... don't read those messy books randomly. If you read too much, your spirit will be polluted.
What a wonderful couple, but they were indirectly ruined by erotic novels.
Roland put the diary back on the bookshelf.
There was doubt in his mind, besides them, who else had entered this library and was only interested in diaries and dark magic.
Could it be
Roland walked back to the corner and asked: "Her Royal Highness, I have a question. Did you really kill your husband? Are you sure he is really dead?"
