Not long after Roland followed Wicks' footsteps and left, Princess Aynara returned to her room alone.
This behavior seems very ordinary, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
At this time, Ainara slowly came to the chair outside the balcony and sat down, holding a cup of black tea in her hand, looking at the huge city of Aston City, as if thinking about something.
"Your Highness Ainara, do you need me to kill that Baron Roland now?"
Suddenly, a faint voice rang out behind Ainara.
"No, not right now...... At least he's a good magician, and I'd like him to join us if I can. β
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Princess Ainara's mouth and said lightly.
In her opinion, if Roland can join them, he will become a powerful help, and this banquet trip is the best proof.
"Really? The subordinates feel that Roland will become our enemy, if we let it go............"
The voice continued unrelentingly, as if it wanted Princess Aynara to kill Roland.
Aynara frowned and said, "Are you questioning my decision?" β
"No, the subordinates are just ...... Giving advice to Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
"Well, good, now you let the people of the Pure Dark Church continue with the next plan...... Be sure to charge the assassin with ...... Throw it to my poor brother. β
Ainara took a sip of black tea. Said slowly
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze surged behind Princess Ainara. It's as if something is leaving.
"I'm looking forward to it, Roland. Blair ...... What would you do? β
She sighed, looked back at the north gate of Aston City, and said in a deep voice.
As she spoke, Princess Aynara raised her hands and stretched gracefully.
As she stretched, her clothes were propped up a bit. On her tender white waist, a strange black demon head pattern was revealed.
It's like it's alive. There was a strange aura that made people feel a sense of fear.
The black sheep-headed demon pattern is undoubtedly the emblem of the Pure Dark Church.
And this badge is the mark of the main members of the Pure Dark Church. The position is basically equal to the bishop rank of the Temple of Light.
According to this information, it can be known that Princess Ainara's status in the Pure Dark Church is not low.

At the same time, Roland didn't know the terrible news, because he and Wicks were on their way to meet the current king: old Blueman.
The footsteps of the two of them continued to echo in the corridors of the palace.
"What did this old king call me for?"
Walking through this silent aisle, Roland's mind kept thinking, what was the purpose of the old king?
Even if he "saved" Prince Wicks, he didn't want the king to see him in person.
In a few moments, the two of them came to a large gate.
According to Roland's vague memories of this palace in his previous life. On the other side of the door in front of him should be the king's study.
However, on either side of the door, two guards stood. The momentum on their bodies should not be underestimated, and the two of them are at least level 75 or above.
"Hello, Your Highness Wicks, His Majesty the King has been waiting inside for a long time."
"Hmm."
Wicks nodded, then reached for the two doorknobs.
There was a click, and the door opened. A large study unfolded in his field of vision.
As I continued to explore, I saw an old man with white hair sitting on a chair. From time to time, I flipped through the books in my hand, and I was very engrossed, and I didn't notice that the door of the study had been opened.
"Father, what is the matter with me?"
Wicks said as he walked slowly into the room.
Now his move was instructed by Roland, because Roland wanted to use Wicks's mouth to test what the old man wanted to do.
"Wicks, please wait outside, I'd like to talk to Baron Roland alone."
After hearing the inquiry, the old king raised his head, took off his glasses and looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, father."
Wicks replied lightly, turned and walked out of the study, and closed the door.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Seeing this, Roland couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he had no idea that the old king would make such a decision.
Soon, he reacted, took two steps forward, and sat down on a chair not far away.
"Baron Roland, in addition to thanking you for saving Weeks' life, there is another thing besides calling you over this time."
The old king sighed, closed the book in his hand, and continued: "I heard...... On your way back you passed through an underground palace, did you find anything inside? β
"I'm sorry, but we didn't explore the palace carefully because we were on the run."
Hearing this, Roland's heart sank, and he hurriedly responded.
It is estimated that the old king learned the news of the palace from Wicks, but because he ordered Wicks not to leak the news, the old king should not have received much information, and only stayed at the level of knowing that such a palace exists.
But...... Why would he want to ask about it? Could it be that the old king knew some relevant secrets?
This is a very high probability of speculation, after all, that place is related to the gods.
"Is that so? Baron Roland, can you describe what you saw to me, old fellow? β
A strange glint flashed in the old king's eyes as he continued to ask.
"Absolutely. His Majesty the King ............"
Roland hesitated in his heart, changed what he encountered in the Craftsman Fire Temple, and then said it "in detail".
As for the heirs of the Knox family who entered the Temple of the Fire. He hid it.
Because in his opinion, the Knox family must know the reason, and it is also the key to the matter, so this matter must not be known to the old king.
"Your Majesty, that's all I know...... Anything else to know? β
Roland smiled slightly and said to the old man in front of him.
"Really? What a shame......"
However, the old king frowned when he heard what Roland had said. Then he handed Roland a piece of paper on the desk next to him.
"Baron Roland, I'm glad you were able to tell me about these things. This is as a thank you for saving Wicks. β
"It's ...... Territories given to me? β
With endless doubts, Roland took the paper and examined it carefully.
But after reading the above contents, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart, and the paper said that he would get a piece of territory.
To know a baron. It's not bad to be able to own a ranch, but you don't have the qualifications to own a territory at all, at least to the status of a marquis, you can get the corresponding territory according to merit.
But when he saw the location of the territory written on the back, the shock at first immediately turned into incomparable excitement.
Because the location of the territory is actually in the southwest of the Bluman Empire.
It is an extremely pristine place, with most of the area being undeveloped forests and bordering the orc border, and is the gateway to the Elven Forest.
Other words. It was a very dangerous place.
"Thank you very much for the reward."
Suddenly, Roland hurriedly put away the territorial deed.
Maybe for others, it is a ghost place where no nobles want to go.
But Roland doesn't see it that way. Because while there are dangers, it means that there are also a lot of benefits.
It was an untouched forest land with vast wealth of location, veins, and ancient ruins.
And...... Based on the territory cards Roland had previously gotten, it should have had an exclusive set of territory building cards. It just so happened that he lacked a territory for experiments.
At this moment, a message popped up in front of his eyes.
γDing.γ Earn the title of Lord. γ
[Hint: You can now use territory-exclusive cards.] γ
"Baron Roland, now you can leave...... By the way, help me get Wicks in, I have something to talk to him about. β
"Yes, His Majesty the King."
Faced with the old king's eviction order, Roland was not surprised, after all, everything he wanted to ask had already been asked.
He replied lightly, then got up and left the study.
Hehe, it is estimated that the old guy does not believe his son and Roland at all, so he needs to ask the two separately to ensure the correctness of the information he gets.
But the old king didn't know that his son had already become Roland's puppet, and no matter how much he asked, he would never know what happened in the Temple of Fire.
"Getting a territory was also a good option...... After getting the prince of Lorenzo, you should explore the southwest, where there should be a lot of ruins. β
Roland walked slowly down the aisles of the palace, thinking to himself.
The southwest of Bruman is home to a lot of dilapidated ruins, and maybe even the souls of ancient races, or weapons left behind by gods.
Maybe he'll go there with blank cards and get a lot of new cards.
Merely...... This qiΔ is based on the premise of getting the prince of Lorenzo, otherwise every qiΔ will be in vain.
But before he could take a few steps, he got a shocking message through GuΓ² Wicks.
"Postpone the announcement of the heir to the throne?"
Roland looked back at the door of the study with a surprised face and whispered.
Oh my God, I heard you right, right? The old king even wanted to postpone the proclamation of the heir to the throne.
When Roland calmed down, he thought about it carefully and immediately understood the reason.
It must have been the old king who found out that Prince Lorenzo was preparing to betray, so he postponed the ceremony announced by the heir to the throne.
As long as the results are not announced for a day, Lorenzo will continue to wait, after all, no one wants to be charged with killing the emperor and seizing the throne.
Maybe...... This is good news for him.
Roland frowned, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the exit of the palace.
"Looks like the plan has to change a bit............"
