"I never thought that Andonara would leave me."
Roland wasn't affected at all when he heard that. He even felt like laughing.
It was very strange for a king to say something so unbefitting of his identity.
Roland didn't say anything.
"Don't you feel guilty at all when you see me, the victim?"
Roland chuckled at this moment.
The soldiers standing around immediately glared at Roland.
"What are you laughing at?" The king, on the other hand, remained calm.
"Do you feel guilty about Kaka?" Roland asked back.
Although the main culprit who attacked Kaka and caused his death was the general chairman, it was undeniable that the royal family played a part in it.
"Kaka?" The king was slightly confused. He seemed to have heard the name before, but he couldn't remember who it was.
At this moment, the civil servant who had been staying next to the king said something in a low voice.
The king was greatly enlightened. "So it's Little Bard. Why should I feel guilty about him?"
Roland sighed slightly. The king didn't even remember who Kaka was, which meant that he didn't care about the royal family's persecution of Kaka at all.
But that was normal. It was normal for a big shot to not remember a nobody who was killed or of no value.
"Since you don't feel guilty about Kaka, why should I feel the slightest bit of guilt about you?"
The king stared at Roland without saying anything.
Roland let him stare at him, neither humble nor arrogant, neither happy nor angry, as if he were a pine tree on the peak of a mountain.
After a while, the king moved his eyes away first. He looked around and said, "You abducted my queen because you wanted to avenge Little Bard?"
Of course not.
But Roland's answer was the opposite. "You can think of it that way."
The king's expression changed again and became more solemn. "You seem to be provoking me?"
"You can still think of it that way."
The civil servant next to the king was angry and was about to charge forward, but the king reached out and stopped him. Then the king said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Roland replied very gently, "I can't die."
The king's pupils constricted, then he continued, "But I can target the people around you. For example, your friends in this world. "
"It doesn't matter." Roland chuckled. "For every friend I kill, you lose ten. Don't underestimate an immortal Golden Son. Besides, I have many friends of the same race. "
"For example, that Dragon Knight and Saint Samurai?" The king leaned forward and asked.
Roland smiled and didn't say anything.
"I'm often threatened." The king did not get angry. Instead, he sighed, "But at least they are other great nobles, lords, kings of other countries, or even the pope. But this is the first time I've been threatened by a youth without any power, and I still have no way to fight back. "
As he spoke, he leaned back against the throne, looking a little weak.
Roland waited for a moment, and seeing that the king was silent, he said, "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, please forgive me for leaving."
With that, he turned to leave, regardless of whether the King permitted it or not.
But after he turned around, the king suddenly said, "Let's make a deal about Andonara."
Roland didn't want to waste any more time talking to the king, but he had to stop when he heard that it was about Andonara. Then he asked, "What deal?"
"You abducted the queen, and although you want to take revenge on me, you're still interested in Andonara's beauty. So, we can make a deal on that. You've already met two of my daughters, Veronica and Evelyn. They're both first-class beauties, only slightly less beautiful than Andonara. You definitely won't accept one of them, but I'll marry both of them, and you return my queen. How about that? "
Roland sneered.
Seeing that he was unmoved, the king continued to raise the price. "What if I add a dowry of a hundred and fifty gold coins and the position of a royal Mage?"
Roland didn't bother to talk to the king anymore. They had completely different views, and it was pointless to talk anymore.
Seeing that Roland was disrespectful to the king, the two rows of royal guards were about to subdue and detain him.
But the king roared from above, "Let him go."
Roland walked out of the grand room unhurriedly under the two rows of angry eyes.
He pushed open the door and walked outside, only to see Antis standing guard in front of him.
He simply walked to Antis and said, "Take me out of the royal palace."
Antis was slightly surprised. "But the king didn't give an order."
"You want me to fight my way out of the royal palace?" Roland asked back with a smile.
Antis took a deep breath and suppressed the rising fury in his heart.
Roland was disrespecting the royal family, but he thought for a moment and realized that there was nothing he could do about the Golden Sons.
The fact that they could be resurrected was the greatest blessing of the king.
Antis waited for a moment. Seeing that no order came from the king's room, he walked ahead and asked, "What did His Majesty say to you? You don't have to say it if it's inconvenient. "
"Nothing much. He just wants to trade Veronica and Evelyn for the queen." Roland's mockery was obvious. "You're truly a standard king. You don't care about family at all."
"The queen is more important than the two princesses. It's also the king's choice after weighing the pros and cons," Antis said slowly. "I don't expect you to change your opinion about the king, but in our eyes, the king is a competent king. He has never imposed taxes or shifted the burden of the royal family to his people during his thirty years on the throne, nor has he waged wars for his own selfish interests. Furthermore, to avoid hurting his people, he would even choose to hold back his grievances if he couldn't win, such as what happened to you and the queen. "
After hearing that, Roland thought for a moment and felt that it did make sense.
It was true that the conclusions from different perspectives could be very different.
When they walked out of the gate of the side hall, the morning glow was already rising.
Antis said, "I won't see you off. The two of us can barely be considered friends. I have to say something from the bottom of my heart. I don't know what your country is like in the other plane of the Golden Sons, but in this world, our king is really a good king. If you go out to other countries, you'll understand that our king is already doing his best to govern the country and restrain the lords. Don't be too demanding of the royal family. If possible, return the queen and save some face for the royal family. "
After saying that, Antis turned around and returned to the side hall.
Roland chuckled. The man was truly eloquent.
