"Haha! This is what you brought on yourself, don't regret it if you lose! Anthony snapped his fingers and immediately accepted Roland's offer with confidence.

At this time, the light in the sky dimmed, and the "Dawn" airship emerged from the clouds and slowly descended.

Anthony gave Roland a look, straightened his hair, and strode to the tarmac.

Roland followed, and saw from a distance the airship open the hatch, and a fair girl in a long white dress was the first to descend the gangway. It happened that the wind blew away the girl's hat, and her long silky hair poured down like a pale golden waterfall.

Like Roland's first impression, Palatina's slender waist is large enough to support the broad shoulders of a military uniform, and the sculptural high nose bridge and well-defined facial contours set the tone for her beauty. However, this sudden gust of wind changed her temperament, and her beautiful and quiet face froze in a moment of surprise, and her originally deep and calm blue eyes showed a little panic, and her eyes instinctively followed the whereabouts of the hat. This scene is like a carefully composed oil painting under the skillful contrast of light and shadow, showing a full "girlish feeling". Roland was amazed and realized that a strong woman like Palatina would only lose her composure at the moment of an accident and look like a weak and helpless little girl.

After a brief moment of frustration, Roland stooped down to pick up the lady's hat that had been blown to her feet by the wind, stepped forward and handed it to Palatina, helping her down the gangway.

Anthony whistled behind him, and although he was unwilling, he had to admire Roland's concentration, and he could still maintain his composure and demeanor when he saw a beautiful woman like Palatina.

However, luck is like the weather in October, the change comes without warning, and it is unexpected.

Little Alberton, who helped the lady carry her suitcase, was the second to step down the gangway and cast curious glances at Roland and Palatina, surprised that the cliché of the handsome prince and the beautiful princess, usually only on stage, would be brought to life before his eyes.

Palatine put back on the hat Roland had handed her, quickly adjusted her mind, smiled and thanked her, and then turned to take her suitcase from Little Alberton. At this moment, as if some unknown button had been activated, Palatina suddenly felt the suitcase shake violently, as if to break free from her grasp and fly to Roland's side. At the same time, Roland also sensed the fluctuation of magic power around him, and the sword Durandal buzzed and trembled, pulled by the mysterious gravitational pull and tried to break away from the scabbard on its own and fly towards Palatina.

Roland hurriedly pressed the hilt of his sword for fear of injuring Palatine by mistake. The sudden resonance of magic left both men in a state of frustration, and the force of Durandal and Palatina's trunk was surprisingly strong in its mutual attraction, forcing them to stagger forward and involuntarily crash into each other.

At the critical moment, Roland suddenly remembered that the same thing had happened to Palatina when he first met him outside the gates of Fort Olevivi, and hurriedly withdrew his sword back to the ophiuchus zodiac sacred stone, and the mysterious gravity disappeared immediately. Roland barely stopped, but Palatina, who was fighting against gravity, was caught off guard and fell backwards in exclamation.

Roland took a step forward without hesitation, grabbing Palatina's left arm in time to protect her from falling on all fours in public. However, he made a mistake in his busyness, and his fingertips inadvertently touched the side of the princess's chest, and in an instant, the round, full, elastic touch penetrated deep into his mind like a whistling bullet, automatically generating an indelible impression.

When Anthony and Alberton Jr. saw this very theatrical scene, they whistled together, winked at each other, and smiled meaningfully.

"I'm sorry to frighten you." Roland ignored the two guys who were not afraid of big things, helped Palatina to her feet, and quietly retracted the hand that had inadvertently offended the beauty.

Palatina's high chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes followed the movement of Roland's right hand, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but when she raised her head to look at him, her expression returned to normal, smiled gently, and said generously that it was okay, it was pure accident.

System Prompt: Hostile Creature Spotted!!

Roland secretly wiped a cold sweat. If it weren't for the fact that he had the system and detected Palatina's attitude changing from neutral to hostile, he would have been deceived by her soft smile, thinking that she didn't mind the little accident that had just happened. Now it seems that this woman is very good at disguise, smiling on the surface, but she is so angry that she gritted her teeth in her heart, and she is thinking about finding an opportunity to take revenge.

At this moment, Palatina has become a "time bomb" in Roland's eyes, and getting close to her is purely seeking death, so he reluctantly smiled apologetically, and distanced herself from her under the pretense of greeting other visitors. Anthony was pretending to be filial to his son, and surrounded old Fogel to ask for warmth, and when he saw Roland coming over, he hurriedly introduced his father to him, and later introduced little Alberton to him.

Roland had long been known for the two major business families of the Assanian Empire, and Anthony was introduced in the middle, and soon became acquainted with Fogel Sr. and Alberton Jr., inviting them to ride in the same carriage with him, and the topics of conversation on the road focused on the field of business and finance, which everyone was interested in, and the conversation was very speculative, leaving a good first impression on each other.

Palatine accepted Antony's invitation to ride with him in another carriage. As soon as she sat down, Anthony looked at her with admiration on his face, little stars shining in his eyes.

Palatina was angry and funny, and shook her fist at him with a red face: "It was just an accident, and I was already very embarrassed...... If you can't control your broken mouth and try to say something sarcastic about me, then don't blame me for being rude! ”

"My Royal Highness, where do you want to go? I'm worshipping you—worship! Anthony jumped up and down in the carriage like an excited monkey, "To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have witnessed Roland lose his cool in front of a woman, and pounce on you like a bull in heat, which shows how charming you are, even he, a veteran of flowers who is accustomed to maneuvering among beautiful women, can't hold it, it really opens my eyes!" ”

Palatina was a little embarrassed, trying to affirm that Roland's gaffe was not fascinated by herself, but due to some mysterious magical resonance, but vanity prompted her to prefer to make a mistake, lowering her eyes slightly, covering her lips with the back of her palms and smiling.

"Palatina, as soon as you set foot on the Far Eastern border, you fiercely thwarted Roland's arrogance, which can be called a glory for the country!"

Anthony's exaggerated praise made Palatine both complacent and a little embarrassed, gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "You will die if you don't shoot a few sycophants?" By the way, what did you just say, Roland Colas is a veteran of flowers? Could it be that he is really as lustful as the legend says, and likes to mess with flowers everywhere? ”
