273 with the bitter Lord
Hearing Roland's words, Antis smiled faintly: "If the royal family really wants to punish you, they won't use the word please." ”
Eves looked at Roland expectantly.
In essence, she didn't have much trust in Antis, and she thought that Roland, who had saved her just now, was more worthy of relying on. She hoped that Roland would be able to get her safely into the palace.
Even the chief steward who watched him grow up since he was a child can not be trusted, and how much more credible can his cousin Antis be.
Although it is unlikely that she will be attacked again, Eve already smells a little like a snake.
Roland thought for a moment and nodded.
Antis then escorted the two of them to the palace with the city guards.
While walking in the direction of the palace, Roland saw several black-robed people standing on the top of the tallest building in the distance.
One of them is clearly Morahou.
Although they were far away, Roland could still feel their gaze, as if they were looking at a dozen long blades, as if they wanted to cut his body into several pieces.
Roland smiled and hooked his fingers at them, and when these black-robed people saw this, they disappeared on the roof one by one.
I guess I was so angry that I couldn't stand it and ran away.
Antis saw Roland's movements and followed his line of sight, only to see nothing.
But he also guessed what was going on.
The people did not enter the palace, but went to the side hall next to the palace.
Antis takes Eve directly to see Veronica, who is sleeping.
Veronica's body was not well, she slept very lightly, and immediately woke up when she heard the sound of the door opening.
There was a maid waiting in the house, and a candle was lit.
Sleeping on a gorgeous velvet blanket, Veronica looked at the door, and when she saw Eve, her expression was happy, and when she saw Roland again, her expression immediately became fierce.
"What are you doing here, you bastard? Did you lie to Andonara and try to fool Sister Eve? ”
Veronica braced herself to sit up.
By this time Antis had already left.
And Eve immediately ran over, supported Veronica's body, and said urgently: "Your body is still poisoned, don't be strong." ”
Veronil panted weakly, "Don't worry, my poison has been cured." “
Antis was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "It turns out that I'm really stupid, so I can be fooled." ”
In fact, she is only more concerned about her relatives. If it is a royal family member who has no family affection, he will not fall for such a small scheme at all.
Veronica was stunned for a moment, and then her attention was drawn to Roland: "Sister Eve, how did you come here with this liar, and why did he enter our side hall?" ”
"My father invited him over."
Veronica leaned on Eve and said angrily, "Why didn't my father just put him in prison and invite him over?" My father's third wife was deceived by this man. ”
Eve couldn't laugh or cry.
Veronica glared at Roland for a moment, and then she felt a little dizzy because she was so emotional.
After all, the body has not yet recovered.
At this moment, Antis appeared again, and he hooked his finger at Roland: "Come here, the king is waiting for you." ”
Roland followed Antis, turned a hallway, and found at least twenty elite palace guards standing outside a large room in front of him.
These guards were heavily armoured and heroic.
Antis pushed open the door, waited for Roland to enter, and then closed it gently.
The room was large, and the white carpet stretched from the doorway to the end of the room, where there was a throne with an old man, who looked very burly, but whose hair was gray.
He was wearing a white robe, the skin on his face was slack, and his body sat upright, straight and imposing.
On both sides of the carpet, there were two teams of elite royal guards.
The heavy armor with white lines on a blue background looks very artistic.
Roland took a few steps forward, and when he was still about ten meters away from the king, a man dressed as a civil official stood up and blocked Roland.
"That's all it takes, don't go forward and worry about the king."
Roland shrugged indifferently, then looked at the king.
And the king looked at him.
The two sides looked at each other for nearly a minute, and finally the king broke the peace with a voice: "It's not the same as I imagined. ”
"Then what should your Majesty think of me as I should be?"
The king replied slowly, "At least he should be a beautiful man, and his appearance should not be so ordinary." ”
Roland smiled and didn't answer.
"I have to thank you for sending Eve's back." The king continued.
Beta stared into the king's eyes and said, "But I don't think the king wants her back." ”
The king did not speak, but stared at Roland very unhappily.
The air was getting dreary, and some of the guards were already starting to break out in a cold sweat and swallow saliva.
Roland smiled and looked at him, not falling behind.
In the end, 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 has already guessed a lot of things.
The betrayal of the governor was in fact the king's behesitation.
How could a person who has served the royal family for more than 30 years betray casually?
Eve's is a pawn, a pawn used to cause two forces to fight.
And the king planned to watch the fire from the other side, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
As for Eve's safety, it was not in the king's mind at all.
It's best if it's okay, if there's something...... He has even more excuses, thinking that his daughter has a chance to avenge his daughter, and annexes the two forces.
As for which two forces they are, one of them is definitely the Thieves Guild, and the other Roland is not very clear. He had too little information in his hands to analyze it.
After all, Isnes City is the territory of the Thieves' Guild, and Eve's lives there, so it's easy to guess.
Roland did not speak, he did not agree with the king's practice of using his daughter as a pawn. But he knew better that the king had made up his mind, and that the other party seemed to be eager to do something well, even if it cost him.
The king stood up, and he continued: "My daughters, who have been born with fine clothes and food, have lived a much better life than ordinary people. But if you enjoy it, you have to pay, which is a normal thing. Not to mention using her, even if she is allowed to go to war, it should be. ”、
"It's really cold family affection." Roland shook his head helplessly.
"The royal family has no family affection." The king's expression was quite natural: "I invited you to come this time, not to talk about the princesses of Eve, I just want to ask, is Andonara okay?" ”
Speaking of Andonara, Roland is a little weak-hearted, although there is no negative distance contact between the two, but he can't clean up the abduction of other people's wives, so he can only carry the pot on his back.
"It's good." Roland nodded.
Speaking of his third wife, the king's expression was painful: "I never thought that Andonara would leave me. ”
