A princess?
Isnas was a city of princesses, so it was only natural for a princess to live here.
However, he and the princess were not friends at all. How could they be related?
Was the middle-aged man who looked like a butler a liar?
But then, Roland thought for a moment and found it unlikely.
He was a Mage, and few people dared to trick Mages.
Besides, he was a player who could be resurrected. Even if he was tricked and killed once or twice, he would only lose some EXP and equipment.
However, he was in a hurry to meet his companions. He was about to refuse, when he was suddenly stunned.
It was because a quest notification popped up in his vision.
"Listen to the Princess' Troubles."
It was a blue quest.
Roland couldn't help but feel excited … Finally! Finally, he had triggered an important quest for the first time. He was finally lucky.
Before, Betta always triggered quests, and he could only admire her. He was willing to meet his friends later for this quest.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Seeing that Roland had agreed, the person who looked like a butler was obviously relieved.
The butler invited Roland to a nearby carriage. Then, he drove Roland to the heavily guarded castle.
Then, Roland met Princess Evelyn in a young lady's study.
The princess was very beautiful, even more so than Vivian.
Of course, she couldn't compare to Margret the dragoness or the female angel that Roland saw at Falken's funeral.
Evelyn had blond hair and blue eyes, a typical noble appearance.
She didn't look very old. She seemed to be around fifteen, but she was calm and graceful, and her figure was not bad, either.
However, Roland didn't think that the princess's figure was as good as Vivian's.
A beautiful porcelain cup was placed before Roland. It was half filled with golden fruit wine.
After the maid bowed slightly to Roland, she retreated.
Princess Evelyn sipped the fruit wine and smiled. "Mr. Roland, thank you for accepting my invitation."
"You're too kind, Princess." Roland sat down and looked the girl in the eyes. "What would you like to talk to me about?"
This kind of straightforward conversation was rather rude in the social gathering of nobles.
However, Roland was a Mage. While spellcasters were noble and proud, they were also labeled as eccentric and unsociable.
Therefore, Evelyn wasn't surprised by Roland's direct communication at all.
"The big fireball that made everyone in the city feel that hell had arrived was your masterpiece?"
Was this an accusation?
But Roland still nodded. He didn't think that Princess Evelyn would give him a hard time.
After all, the quest stated that it was to listen to Princess Evelyn's troubles.
It was not a combat quest like "survive Princess Evelyn's hunting order".
"What a terrifying scene. My fingers are still shaking." Evelyn's smile was a bit weird.
Roland was rather curious. "Did you see it too, Your Highness?"
Evelyn nodded slowly.
At that time, she couldn't sleep, so she ate supper on the balcony outside her bedroom.
A glass of fruit wine and some delicious cakes.
The moment she ate the cake, she sensed the intimidating amalgamation of magic elements far away. Then, she turned around and saw an enormous cluster of blue flames falling from the city wall.
The noise of the explosion alone almost made her choke on the cake. She patted her chest several times before she finally swallowed the cake.
But even so, she still choked until her face turned red.
Then, she saw the tsunami-like waves of fire far away. Even though she was three kilometers away, her nightdress was fluttering in the hot wind caused by the explosion.
It was obvious how powerful it was.
"I don't know who Mr. Roland's enemy is, but I know that they must be regretting it right now."
Roland smiled. "I think so, too. So, what do you want to talk about, Your Highness? "
He felt that the princess was too talkative.
The princess glared at Roland helplessly and said, "Actually, I've heard a lot about Mr. Roland!"
Roland was quite confused.
"Young Bard is my cousin!" Evelyn said with a smile, "He visited me a while back and told me about you."
Oh, I see. Then, she found out everything about him after only one night. The royal family's intelligence department was rather impressive.
"Speaking of Bard, I'm planning to visit him in the capital," said Roland with a smile.
Indeed, he was planning to ask Bard about Long-Distance Teleportation in the capital.
However, he didn't know that Bard was related to the royal family.
But it was quite understandable. He was told that the Bard family was a major noble in the capital. It wasn't strange that they were related to the royal family through marriage.
"He said that you know both Language Proficiency and Character Proficiency," said Evelyn in admiration. "It's said that you created it yourself!"
Roland nodded. "But it's not perfect yet."
"You're too modest, sir." Evelyn stood up and took a book from the shelf behind her. She gave it to Roland. "I hope that you can translate a few words for me, sir."
She opened the book and found the page with the golden leaf bookmark.
The page was full of Hollevin characters, mixed with a few elvish words.
"I've been troubled by something recently," said Evelyn sincerely. "These are ancient elvish words that I copied. Only three people in the entire kingdom of Hollevin can understand them, but I can't ask them to help me. If I can't understand these words, I won't be able to understand the rest of the book. Who is the 'she' in the book? "
That's all? Roland cast Unhindered Communication on himself first and then on the princess.
"So, you can cast spells on other people." The princess stared at Roland for a while. Then, she lowered her head and read the elvish words softly. "She was the queen of the elven dynasty and the first Demigod of the elves. She used to be a ranger, a general, and the strongest Summoner. Her name was Cocoyala, the most beloved daughter of the World Tree! "
It was just a few short sentences, but there was an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes of history.
The princess closed her eyes and slowly opened them again. "So, she's the queen of the elves. No wonder she accomplished so many things as a woman. Is it true that the elves once ruled the world? Does the queen's tomb really exist? Ah, I really want to check it out. "
At this point, Roland's attention was attracted by the system notifications.
Quest accomplished: Listen to the princess's troubles.
You have received 244 EXP.
Evelyn's friendliness increased by 10.
Huh? It was the first time that Roland had seen an NPC's favorability rating in a quest. Was the NPC very important?
His surprise was not over yet, when he received a new quest notification.
New quest detected: The Origin of the Elven Queen (Main Quest)
Roland widened his eyes. The quest was golden and had the suffix of "Main Quest."
He had never known how to continue the interrupted main quest. He didn't expect to find it here.
