Dalton's disappearance and the decline of the family had become the talk of the capital recently.
What made them even more delighted was that Dalton's only son, Rourke, had stood up resolutely when his family was in danger. Although he had sacrificed a lot of the family's interests, he had still managed to get a few supporters to help him. In the end, half of the family's interests and influence were saved.
Although the temporary decline was inevitable, at least they had preserved their vitality. If they wanted to make a comeback in the future, there was still hope.
In any case, Rourke had made a name for himself. Many people used to think that Rourke was just a fledgling under the eagle Dalton, but now, many nobles, including the royal family, believed that he had matured and was a qualified family head.
Many nobles thought that he would be a good candidate for marriage.
Roland and the others stayed in the capital for a few days. Finding that Rourke had no intention of revenge, and even the royal family didn't do anything, they decided to disperse.
The other members of F6 had their own things to do, and Roland planned to return to Delpon and continue his magic studies.
He had planned to teleport back, but the queen insisted on following him, so he had to use teleportation outside of the city and record the coordinates of the capital.
They had rented a carriage and were about to leave the city. Queen Andonara, who was leaning against the window in excitement, suddenly exclaimed and shouted, "Stop, Roland. I'm going down for a while."
Roland craned his head and found a squad of people standing on the road.
Veronica, who was wearing a princess's dress, was with a squad of about twenty royal guards.
"Go."
Andonara winked at Roland gratefully, then jumped out of the carriage and walked up to Veronica.
"You were waiting for me?" Andonara looked at her former student with a smile.
Veronica took a deep breath and said, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Her face was a little unwilling, a little angry, and even more resentful of iron for not becoming steel.
"Of course I do."
"Don't you feel guilty? You abandoned your husband and daughter just like that? "
"It was the royal family who wronged me. Why do you make it sound like I'm an unpardonable villain?" Andonara said with a smile. "Besides, have you ever called me mother? You haven't even called me teacher. "
"Mother, mother, mother!" Blushing, Veronica roared three times in a row, then looked at Andonara in shame and indignation. "Are you satisfied?"
The faint smile on Andonara's face was gone, and her expression became very serious. She said, "Although it's a little late, I'm still quite happy that you're willing to call me mother. After all, more than a year ago, I still wanted to be your mother, but His Majesty doesn't seem to have any feelings for me. In his eyes, I'm just a plaything that he occasionally uses to relieve his loneliness. He's usually cold and indifferent. "
"Father is old, so of course he can't do that! You must be considerate of him. "
Andonara smiled. "I really don't care about those things. I only care about his attitude. I was kidnapped, but he didn't care. He looked around casually and then gave up. After I was released, he threw me aside and didn't even say a word of comfort. He even planned to execute me, a person who had tarnished the honor of the royal family. Do you think that's what a husband should do? "
"There's no such thing. This is the rumor that Second Brother is good at spreading, just to kidnap you," Veronica said hurriedly. "Second Brother is already dead."
"So the dead can't testify, right? Is it appropriate to pin this on a dead person? Although I don't really like the second prince, either. "Andonara narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"It really was Second Brother's own idea." Veronica was so anxious that she was about to cry. Then she suddenly remembered something. "Right, Father asked me to tell you that if you're done playing outside, come back. He won't blame you."
Andonara froze for a moment, then held her abdomen and laughed so hard that tears were about to fall. "Do you think … I'll believe that, Veronica? If I really go back, it'll probably be a matter of being directly imprisoned and then quietly disposed of. "
"It's true. Father spoke very sincerely." Veronica stared at Andonara very seriously. "He guessed that you wouldn't believe it, so he asked me to bring this to you."
The guard next to her immediately handed over an object wrapped in a handkerchief. Veronica helped Andonara open it, and inside was a crown made of many blue and white gems glued together.
The queen's crown.
Andonara froze for a moment, then sneered.
A crown was enough to pull her heart back again?
She wasn't that cheap!
Andonara had wanted to turn around and leave, but she suddenly thought of something and turned back, reaching out to take the crown in her hand. Then she turned the crown with her fingers and played with it as she said, "All right, you can go back. I'll accept the queen's crown. It's mine anyway."
Veronica was relieved to see that she accepted it.
Then she thought for a moment and said with a red face, "Father probably won't care if you're intimate with that Roland or something, but remember, don't make a child, or Father will probably go crazy."
"None of your business."
Andonara made a face at Veronica and then got into the carriage.
Veronica watched the carriage wobble away and couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes.
For members of the royal family, something like family was really hard to come by.
Veronica had only felt family, or friendship, from Andonara, her stepmother, for a year or two.
After all, the two of them were actually about the same age.
She was the one who taught her the skills of a Great Swordsman.
Now that her only "family" was gone, and she didn't know when they would see each other again, she naturally felt sad.
In the carriage, Andonara put the crown on her head very seriously, and her whole person seemed to have a real air of nobility.
Then she leaned close to Roland and smiled. "I'm still the queen now! The king didn't remove my status. "
Roland was a little puzzled. "I know you're the queen, what's wrong?"
"A queen can do whatever you want, do whatever you want!" Andonara rolled her eyes and narrowed her eyes, which were slender and charming. "Don't you think it's exciting and satisfying? Don't you feel your blood boiling? "
Roland froze for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead.
He seemed to have gotten himself into big trouble … Who could stand that? It was exciting and satisfying to hear, okay?
It took the carriage almost ten days to return to Delpon.
They didn't run into any robbers on the way this time. After all, Roland had traveled back and forth between the two places in the past two months and killed several robbers and bandits, no villains dared to mess around on this road anymore.
After all, people weren't leeks that could be harvested again.
When Roland returned to his manor in Delpon, Vivian was already waiting.
But when she saw that Roland and a woman wearing a crown got out of the carriage, their faces were so dark that ink was almost dripping out.
Holding White Amber, she forced a smile and asked, "Roland, who is this?"
"Queen Andonara."
"Queen!" Vivian's eyes widened. The news was so shocking for her that she didn't even have the mood to be jealous.
Andonara stepped forward and held Vivian's hands, before she said with a gentle smile, "You must be Vivian, right? Roland always mentioned you to me."
Vivian looked at Roland and then at the queen and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Let me tell you …"
The queen took Vivian's hand and walked into the manor, as if she were the hostess of the place.
Roland clicked his tongue behind them. The more beautiful a woman was, the more deceptive she was. Cult Leader Zhang's mother was right.
On his journey back to Delpon, he did mention Vivian in front of Andonara, but not more than three times.
But in Andonara's words, it became a regular occurrence.
Roland returned to the manor and talked to White Amber first.
Of course, he had to care about his pet.
Then, he had dinner with the queen and Vivian.
He was surprised to find that the queen and Vivian seemed to be very close. They talked and laughed as if they were biological sisters.
But it had little to do with him.
He had left Andonara here just to fulfill his promise to her.
To find her a place where she could live in peace.
There was no better place than Delpon.
This was the players' territory.
After dinner, Roland returned to his study, opened the forum, and uploaded a post.
"Friends who want to become a Great Swordsman or learn advanced specialties, please come to Delpon."
In the post, he simply said that Andonara, the Great Swordsman, was now in Delpon and could help people change classes and teach advanced Warrior specialties.
The tuition was … expensive, mainly depending on the queen's mood.
He had talked to Queen Andonara about it on the carriage back to Delpon.
Andonara didn't care what he said at all. She just looked like she would listen to whatever he said.
After the post was uploaded, there were a lot of replies in less than a minute.
"See, I was right, Roland will definitely bring the queen to Delpon."
"The people in F6 are all pretty boys. Schuck relies on the Red Dragon Princess, and now Roland relies on the queen to make money. Damn it, why are people so different?"
"I don't care if she's beautiful, I support Roland. Do you know how hard it is to become a Great Swordsman? The social identity problem alone can eliminate 99% of the people. Now Roland is offering us a chance, and you're still cursing him. Does he have a conscience? "
"I'm not a Warrior. What does conscience have to do with me? I'm going to call him a pretty boy, so what?"
"Upstairs, report your location in the game if you can. I'm a level five Warrior and want to fight you one-on-one."
"I wonder how much the queen is going to charge. Are there any rich people who want to test her?"
"Upstairs, you're driving, but I have no proof. I should be considered a rich person. I'll go to Delpon and ask how much it costs to learn advanced specialties. Wait for my news. "
Roland casually looked at the replies, shook his head, and was about to close the forum.
A forum message aroused his excitement.
He rejected most private messages. Only friends on the whitelist could send messages to him.
