Roland didn't want to go to that kind of place again; it was too dirty and smelly.
Two magic spiders had been following Antis behind the wall by the side of the road.
Roland, on the other hand, comforted Mijil, who would have most likely been taken away if it hadn't been for the guard-type Spell Puppet.
But it was strange that Mijil's father vaguely knew that his parents-in-law had left a house for Mijil.
In addition, Roland was upset that Mijil's father had come for his daughter, but on second thought, the middle-aged merchant didn't really think much of Roland.
He knew that it was Roland who had taken Mijil, and a Mage who had taken away his daughter, a daughter he didn't want, so he had to be grateful to Roland.
But he had hired a Thief to come and take Mijil.
That shouldn't have happened.
Roland felt that Mijil was quite pitiful to have such a father … Roland didn't know that Mijil wasn't the middle-aged merchant's biological daughter.
But fortunately, her mother wasn't bad. As Roland thought so, he took Mijil's hand and led her to Kaka's manor.
The guards were replaced with the original two, and when they saw Roland, they opened the door without saying a word.

Roland nodded to them in thanks, and at the door, he met the manor's butler, who took the two to the door of Kaka's study.
He knocked lightly on the door, and Kaka's voice came from inside. "Please come in."
Pushing the door open and finding Kaka bent over his desk studying the spell model, Roland asked, "How's the learning going?"
"It feels about right."
Kaka waved his hand, and a blue shield-wielding Spell Puppet appeared in front of him, almost identical to the one Roland had summoned, except that it was much smaller.
This was because Kaka didn't have enough magic power.
Just summoning this Spell Puppet had almost depleted his mana.
After a sigh, he stood up and said, "I plan to go to the headquarters tomorrow to turn in this spell model."
"Don't you want to study it until you're more familiar with it?" Roland asked.
Kaka shook his head with a wry smile. "In five days at most, I'll be leaving this city, so I won't put it off any longer. After turning it in to the headquarters, it'll take at least two days or so for a review period."
In that case, it really couldn't wait any longer.
"Then I'll wish you success first."
Kaka smiled. "Thank you … By the way, have you found any clues about the Queen?"
"I just found a dress, a silk dress." Roland shrugged.
"It seems that the Queen has been raped," Kaka said with regret.
"Are you sure?"
"His clothes were all stripped." Kaka helplessly said, "The queen is very beautiful. If I were to be alone with her, I would most likely have some thoughts."
Roland was slightly surprised. "Is she really that beautiful? How does she compare to Princess Evelyn?"
"Each has its own merits, but the queen is more charming." Kaka showed a yearning look. "She's the kind of woman that people can't stop wanting at first glance."
It seemed that Kaka liked mature women. Princess Evelyn still looked a bit young.
Roland came to this conclusion. He sat down and said, "Do you know a safe place?"
"Hmm? Are you in trouble? "
"It's not me, it's this girl."
Roland touched Mijil's head and told her what had happened. "I still have to investigate the Queen and can't really take care of her, so …"
Mijil looked at Roland with some concern when she heard this.
Kaka pondered for a moment, then said, "I can't help you, and you're an outsider, unfamiliar with the people and the place, so I don't think there are many people you can trust. But if you have to talk about a safe place, there is actually one, but it might be a little troublesome. "
Roland leaned forward. "Oh, what do you mean?"
"Princess Evelyn is almost of marriageable age, so she's going to stay in Isnas for a while," Kaka explained. "There are three other princesses of the royal family living in the capital, one of whom is Veronica. She doesn't live in the palace and has her own manor and private army."
Roland frowned. "And then?"
"Princess Veronica is a Warrior … She doesn't think much of Mages and thinks we're too weak." Kaka chuckled. "But she's a very interesting person. If a magician saves her and helps her with something, she'll let the magician duel with her. As long as they don't use offensive magic, as long as they win, she'll be willing to help with anything."
"Willing to do anything?"
"Yes!" Kaka showed a wretched smile that all men understood. "Including that kind of thing, not to mention just fostering a little girl. But until now, no Mage has been able to beat her without using offensive magic. That's impossible to begin with. "
Roland nodded. "Then I can try."
"I think you can try too." Kaka pointed to the blue puppet in front of him. "As long as you summon a few more of these puppets, you should have some chance of winning."
Thanking Kaka for his pointers, Roland took Mijil and followed Kaka's directions to a manor.
Compared to Kaka's manor, the manor in front of him was not only much larger, but there were also a lot more plants and landscapes inside.
When the few guards at the door saw Roland, their eyes began to become alert.
Roland walked over and said through the iron fence, "Please tell Princess Veronica that I'm here to challenge her."
After a brief silence, the guards almost laughed out loud. They looked at Roland's thin arms and legs and all held back their laughter.
But one of them ran in, and before long, he ran out again, pulled open the iron fence door, and led Roland and Mijil in.
Bypassing a grove of trees that blocked the view, Roland came to the front yard and found that there was already a circle of soldiers standing there, and then a table and a few chairs.
A young girl in white, close-fitting plain clothes, sat on a chair and looked at Roland with a smile.
Mijil was a little scared, and Roland took her hand and walked over, nodding slightly and saying, "Princess Veronica, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The young girl stood up. She had blond hair tied into a ponytail, and her eyes were a rare blood-red, like rubies, clear and transparent, and extremely beautiful to look at.
She looked Roland up and down and asked with a smile, "Before the duel, I'd like to ask, what is the prize you want?"
"Help me take care of this little girl for a while." Roland patted the little girl's head.
The young girl looked surprised. "That's it?"
"That's it."
"I thought you wanted to sleep with me, like the other male Mages." With a very innocent expression, Princess Veronica said something that made people's hearts itch. "Even your Archmage Tobian dueled with me. His condition was that he wanted me to sleep with him for a few days, and I ended up beating his nose so hard that it almost collapsed."
Roland then looked Princess Veronica up and down, then shook his head gently.
It was too flat, and he didn't like it.
