Roland had heard that some men were mentally unsound and liked to be cuckolded, which was a kind of masochistic psychological disease.
Did the king have this tendency too?
The queen didn't care that her body was seen. She put her hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked Roland in the eyes. "Few of the queens of Hollevin have a good ending. They either die a violent death or die of a serious disease at a young age. I've been a queen for four years, and I've earned it. "
"If the queen of Hollevin is so dangerous, why are you still willing to be one?"
"Isn't that obvious?" The queen laughed disdainfully. "Most women either want to be a princess or a queen. Since I can't be a princess, isn't it only natural that I dream of being a queen? "
Roland still couldn't understand a woman's thinking. "Even if it's life-threatening? Is it worth it? "
"You men are also crazy and risking your lives for the title of the best in the world. Are you qualified to talk about us women?" The queen sneered.
Roland was lost for words and couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Hehe, it seems that you're a reasonable man." The queen reached out her smooth fingers and tapped the silver wine glass in front of her, making a tinkling sound. "My name is Andonara. What's your name?"
"Roland."
"So, Mr. Roland, what do you want to talk to me about?" Andonara looked at Roland with great interest.
In her eyes, Roland was a young man only about sixteen years old. He wasn't handsome, but he wasn't ugly either. Most importantly, this young man had a calm and wise temperament. He looked quite attractive. She was an "old woman" who was twenty-three years old, which was actually a good deal for her.
"I want to know, why did you accuse Kaka of violating you?"
Andonara's smiling expression immediately turned cold. "That's what you want to ask?"
"Yes."
"You're Little Bard's friend?"
"Yes."
Andonara's cold expression gradually softened. "Before Little Bard was hanged, he shouted that someone would avenge him. Was he talking about you?"
"Probably me." Roland nodded.
"So, in your eyes, I'm also one of the murderers?" Andonara's expression was calm.
Roland nodded. "I'll have to wait for your answer before I decide."
Andonara gently moved her finger on the edge of the glass. After a long time, she finally said, "My husband asked me to say that. Do you think I have the right to refuse?"
"Your Majesty?" Roland found it hard to believe. "If this gets out, not only your reputation, but also the reputation of the royal family will be tarnished. Why would he do this?"
"He never cared about my reputation. The queen was expendable. If someone wanted it, they could sell it at a high price. Furthermore, they could even provide some benefits to the royal family. So, why not? I reckon that I will be 'dead' tomorrow, and then he will prepare to confer a new queen in a month or two. "
Although Andonara was smiling, there was coldness in her eyes and the corners of her mouth. She seemed to be mocking him.
Roland found it hard to believe.
Andonara was a beauty as beautiful as Princess Evelyn. But she was more attractive than Princess Evelyn. After all, Andonara had a much better figure, and she was even a queen.
And now, this very beautiful queen, who used to be high and mighty, had become a peddler.
"You're going to die tomorrow?"
Andonara nodded. "Very likely."
"Then why don't you escape?"
"Where can I escape to?" Andonara said sadly. "I used to be just a commoner with no power. I've been a queen for too short a time, and I haven't had time to establish my own circle of connections and power. If my husband really wants me to die, I have to die. "
"You're not going to try to resist?"
"The consequences of resistance are even more terrible." Andonara's eyes glistened with tears. "If a woman of a great noble becomes a queen, with the support of her family, she's not afraid of anything. That's the real queen. A commoner queen like me is just a tool for childbirth and a pawn for the royal family to set up their chess game."
Roland hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe you can try to ask us for help."
"Golden Sons?"
Andonara's expression changed a little, and she was less resentful. She really began to consider Roland's suggestion.
"I did hear that the Golden Sons are very meddlesome."
Even staying in the palace, Andonara had heard interesting stories about the Golden Sons. Not to mention committing suicide to swindle money and running away naked. Many jokes or embarrassing stories about the Golden Sons were widely circulated among the nobles.
But under these jokes and embarrassing stories, anyone with a normal IQ could see one thing.
As long as it was reasonable to ask for help, as long as the Golden Sons heard it, they would definitely help.
No matter who the enemy was. Nobles, or demons.
Their help and actions might fail, or they might help too much, but they really never refused.
"So is it okay if I ask you for help?"
"Of course not." Roland smiled and said, "But first you have to tell me why Kaka was hanged and why the king insisted that you identify him as the one who violated you."
"I know some inside information, but not all of it." Andonara's tone lightened a little. "The Bard family has royal blood and is close to the Association of Mages. All three heirs are Mages, and many relatives serve in the Association of Mages. Many people don't like this double-dealing and betting on both sides, including the royal family and the Association of Mages. "
"So when the Association of Mages made their move to kidnap me, they specifically picked the day and route of Little Bard's patrol. Using this as an opportunity, the royal family suppressed the Bard family, forced them to take sides, and took a lot of benefits from them. And the Association of Mages ordered the Bard family's Mages to retaliate against the royal family in private. Where we couldn't see, the Bard family became a battlefield for both sides. "
"Little Bard's punishment was only on the surface, a show for the other families to watch. Little Bard wouldn't have died, at most a few years in prison, "Andonara explained slowly. "The Bard family, as the battlefield of the struggle between the two sides, suffered great losses. At that time, the Bard family had already planned to take sides, but during this time, Little Bard seemed to have sent something to the head of the Association of Mages, saying it was very important. Then the head of the Association of Mages became murderous, and at the risk of taking a step back and giving up some benefits to the royal family, he wanted the royal family to kill Little Bard."
What!
Roland stood up abruptly in shock. "Do you know what Kaka sent?"
Andonara shrugged. "Sorry, I was locked up in the secret room at the time, so I'm not sure."
Roland sat down dejectedly.
