Roland was a little surprised, then relieved. "It seems that you've been watching me."
"Of course," Antis said angrily. "The queen is right next to you. How can we not watch?"
Roland chuckled. "There's no point in watching. She doesn't want to go back."
That was a bit annoying, but it was indeed Roland's intention to annoy Antis.
The royal family sent people to watch Delpon, and their intentions were self-evident.
It was nothing more than to see if there was a chance to get the queen back from Roland.
The queen had already shown considerable strength before and could raise a Great Swordsman. Now that the queen had awakened the Hero bloodline, even her hair and eye colors had changed, and her strength had soared.
After learning this, the king and the members of the royal family were even more regretful.
In this world, the nobles valued bloodline inheritance very much.
Especially on the maternal side of the offspring, what kind of bloodline they could bring was quite important.
The king had originally taken a fancy to Andonara's Hero bloodline, but seeing that Andonara's edges hadn't been polished, he wanted to use the royal power to completely turn her into an obedient person.
However, the king didn't expect that one of his sons would have bad thoughts about his stepmother, and then, even more unfortunately, a Golden Son who wasn't afraid of the royal power "rescued" the queen and successfully won the queen's heart.
It was a shitty ending.
If it were just an ordinary expert who took the queen away, the royal family would have ways to kill that person.
After all, if a head-on confrontation didn't work, they could still assassinate, poison, and so on.
But the problem was that the guy could resurrect infinitely.
That was a big problem.
Antis listened to Roland's slightly smug laughter and felt very uncomfortable.
He had known Andonara since she lived in the capital for a while from time to time when she was a child.
The two had played together when they were young.
At that time, he had some feelings for Andonara. After all, the children of noble families matured early.
As they grew up, he felt better and better about Andonara.
But he still didn't see her as a potential marriage partner. After all, a daughter of a quasi-noble family and a merchant wasn't worthy of his status as a relative of the royal family.
If she was a mistress, it was negotiable. He also had the idea of treating Andonara as a mistress.
But before the idea was implemented, Andonara became a mercenary for a while.
After she returned, without waiting for him to express his opinion, she became the queen with lightning speed.
If he was one step slower, he would always be slower.
Andonara, who had become the queen, gradually became unhappy. She was upright and sensitive, and not suitable for the royal family. Antis saw it, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't possibly go against the royal family.
He even thought that he could comfort Andonara in private if he had a chance. After all … the nobles were so messy that even the royal family would turn a blind eye to it as long as it wasn't too exaggerated.
However, fate seemed to be against him, and then Roland killed his way out.
So, he was actually very envious and jealous of Roland.
He even wanted to beat Roland up for being so smug.
But it was infuriating. He knew he couldn't beat him.
In his anger, he had no choice but to divert his attention. He looked down and said, "It's about to start. Just watch."
Roland also looked down.
The bald man in front of Alfred looked at the white-robed young man with a strange gaze.
Alfred had a square face and was very sturdy, as sturdy as Tobian.
And the two of them did look very similar.
Sure enough, it should be his seed.
Tobian remembered that when he was young, he forcibly occupied a certain woman for a few days, and then she ran away with her husband and family to another country. He didn't expect that she was pregnant with his seed.
But the child in front of him didn't seem to know his true identity or the true relationship between them.
"I think we should talk." Tobian still didn't have any children. It was difficult for professionals to reproduce, so he was quite happy to see his own bloodline. "We don't have to be like this, child."
Alfred's face became very ugly at first, then he sneered. "Who do you think you are to talk to me in private? Get out of my way! "
Looking at Alfreid's face that was as cold as ice, Alfreid subconsciously retreated to the side.
He wasn't afraid of the young man, but he didn't want to make their relationship too awkward.
He felt that the two of them could still talk later.
Tobian took a deep breath as he watched Alfred walk away.
Then, he left the hall too.
Chewing a fruit, Roland asked, "Is this the drama you mentioned?"
"In my eyes, it's indeed a drama. They're father and son, but they became enemies. Isn't it interesting? "Antis laughed." More importantly, they both know each other's relationship. "
"Huh?" Roland was stunned. "Alfred knows that he's Tobian's son too?"
"Yes!"
"Then why?"
"Because Alfreid's foster father, the minor noble who was driven away by Tobian, was very nice to Alfreid. Although his wife gave birth to someone else's son, he really treated Alfreid as his own son. He loved his wife and his adopted son, but when he was tied up and thrown into a corner by Tobian, he was forced to watch his wife being defiled. He was starved for days and nights, and he almost died. Although he survived, he was left with a lingering illness. Even mental spells can't cure a heart disease. "
Roland was silent for a moment. "He's a rare good man. Tobian is too inhuman."
"Three years ago, the minor noble died of a heart disease, and his wife died of depression too. Before she died, she told Alfreid about his past. Her original intention was to let her son have someone to rely on after her death. She didn't want him to be alone, even if the person he had to rely on in the future was the enemy of her and her husband.
Roland was even more silent. It was not until a long time later that he finally smiled sarcastically. "What a profound mother's love."
"I think so too," Antis continued. Antis continued, "But Alfred doesn't think so. He believes that he only has one father and one mother. And Tobian is the one who killed his parents. "
There were too many sorrowful things in this world. Although Antis had only described them briefly, Roland could still infer a complete story from his words.
But he found it odd. "Why do you know about Alfred? They're far away in Fareins. Has your intelligence organization infiltrated Fareins, the most powerful country, into a sieve? "
Antis smiled but didn't say anything.
He was so beautiful when he smiled that some of the female attendants couldn't help but look at him.
Roland thought for a moment and said, "I get it. You've been collecting intelligence on Tobian because you've been planning to deal with him. Alfred's business is just incidental. "
Antis' hand that was holding the glass trembled and then put it down. He opened his eyes like a cluster of red flowers and green leaves. "You're really smart. Not bad. We're going to deal with Tobian. So back to the topic, are you willing to become the chairman of the Association of Mages with our support?"
Roland waved his hand and refused without any hesitation.
"Why?" Antis wasn't surprised at Roland's refusal. He was only curious about the reason. "What you want to do is easy to achieve with our support. You can work for decades less. Isn't that good?"
"But your conditions must be harsh. Let me guess. It must have something to do with Andonara."
This time, Antis did not say anything.
Roland was right.
If he wanted the support of the royal family, he had to return the queen.
Seeing Antis' expression, Roland smiled delightedly.
After a long time, Antis asked again, "How can a woman compare to an Association of Mages?"
"Wrong. She's much more valuable than an Association of Mages," Roland said casually. "I'm confident that I can create a better Association of Mages like this one. But Andonara is such a good woman. If you miss her, you'll never meet her again. "
Roland's tone was calm, but it was firm.
Antis didn't doubt that he was lying.
"Andonara is more valuable than an Association of Mages?" Antis finished the wine in his glass and slapped the table, smiling. "I'm prettier than you, and my family is better than yours, but compared to you, I'm a complete loser. Roland, if I met you a few years earlier, I might've been your woman! "
Pfft!
Roland spat out the wine. That was too shocking.
He looked at Antis in horror. "You're a woman dressed as a man?"
It wasn't impossible. Antis was so beautiful that he didn't look like a man.
Seeing Roland's disheveled appearance, Antis smiled coquettishly, which was quite feminine.
But he soon became serious. "I wonder if you've heard of the Kualis?"
Roland shook his head.
"Look them up when you have time. You should be able to find out as a Mage." Antis stood up. "If you don't want to get involved in Tobian's business, just watch the show. As long as you don't stop us, I can guarantee that the supply of resources to your Magic Tower won't be cut off for at least five years. "
"So, in five years, after the royal family completely infiltrates and controls the Association, you'll attack Delpon?"
Antis smiled meaningfully. "It turns out that not all the Golden Sons are of one mind. You're also human beings with desires and demands. You're not invincible, Roland. "
Then he left.
After a while, Roland also stood up, left a gold coin, and left the luxurious tavern.
After he left the city, he directly teleported back to Delpon.
There was no need to stay in the capital. Tobian had to guard against his son who came with a vengeance, and the royal family was fanning the flames.
There was little chance that he could survive.
Besides, even if he could survive, he would have to flee everywhere, unless he escaped from Hollevin.
Tobian didn't need any more attention.
Then, the next two things were to study magic and focus on building the magic school.
As for the advancement to Elemental Lord and the killing of the Fallen Angel, they couldn't be completed in a short time, so he put them aside for now.
That was what he thought.
But occasionally, there were always surprises in this world.
The mission that Roland gave to the Guild of Mercenaries, to collect the five elemental cores, was completed in half a month.
When he heard the news, Roland almost couldn't believe his ears.
