Not only was the old king bewildered, but so was Antis.
Roland didn't explain, because even if he did, they wouldn't understand.
It wasn't that these two weren't intelligent enough, but that they were BBB the whole time!
But these two quickly reacted, and the old king said slowly, "There's no problem with the written information on Cornucopia's illegal business in various territories. We have a lot of it. As for the speech you mentioned, what's going on?"
"It can't be called a speech, it's just that you hold a meeting and talk to the ministers about some of Cornucopia's bad behavior, talk about how they should be restricted, and finally mobilize your ministers to restrict Cornucopia. Just let me sit in and listen in. "
Both of them were puzzled. What did he mean by 'amusing oneself'?
"You don't mean to mess with us?" The old king sat under the high throne and looked down at Roland. "This seems a bit childish."
"I really don't." Roland thought for a moment and said, "I swear on my identity as a Mage."
The old king closed his eyes in thought. Antis leaned over to Roland, his body exuding a slight floral fragrance, and his delicate face was full of curiosity. "I heard that you Golden Sons have a special means of communication, right?"
"It seems that you've found out some of our ins and outs."
Roland smiled and didn't find it strange.
Even with the protection of the system, the royal family and nobles had been trying to find out about the players, trying to figure out what kind of social habits and class structure these strange humans from another plane had. Although the Golden Sons generally gave people the feeling that they were relatively equal, they didn't believe that in a society, there had to be a distinction between high and low.
As long as they found the real big shots among the Golden Sons, they might be able to establish a cooperative relationship and negotiate some favorable terms for their side.
Even if it didn't work, they couldn't casually anger people of high status, lest it cause an even more exaggerated reaction from the Golden Sons.
The Golden Sons were troublesome enough now.
"I understand. I'll convene this meeting soon. After all, even if you don't say it, we'll formulate countermeasures for this matter." The old king nodded lightly.
With the old king's affirmation, Antis left the palace with Roland.
The two walked on the street. Antis's manor was very close to the palace, so there was no need to take a carriage.
After a few months, Antis seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He was already very feminine, but now he looked even more delicate and charming.
"Do you and Andonara plan to hold a wedding?" asked Antis as he walked slowly.
Roland shook his head.
This was indeed inconvenient.
Andonara was still the queen, and even if many nobles knew that she was with Roland, it was just a tacit interest among the nobles.
For example, some kind of special gameplay.
After all, Roland was a Mage, and he had shown great strength and potential recently.
It was excusable to have a queen at his side to win him over.
After all, one day, the queen would return to the royal family.
In fact, many noble families had done similar things.
In this feudal society, apart from being a wife, a noble lady also had the attributes of a tool, a contact item, a luxury item, and so on.
When necessary, it was their duty to 'sacrifice' their dignity and personality for the family in exchange for greater benefits or to fight for the survival of the family.
Therefore, although they found it funny, the nobles who were in the know didn't take the queen's following Roland too seriously.
He was just envious, jealous, and hateful because the Queen was just too beautiful.
But if there was a wedding, things would be different.
The royal family could have been like an ostrich, burying its head in the sand and saying that Andonara was following Roland only to win over the young and promising Golden Son.
But if Andonara and Roland got married, it would really be a slap in the royal family's face.
At that time, the royal family's face would definitely be gone.
In fact, as early as more than a year ago, the royal family was already prepared to be humiliated by Roland in all aspects.
Although it was true that the royal family wouldn't start a war with Roland and become mortal enemies, their relationship would definitely deteriorate to the point of almost hatred.
Other nobles would also express great disgust at Roland's practice of breaking the default rules.
They would subconsciously be hostile and target Roland.
At that time, the royal family was prepared for the worst and had already thought of secretly setting Roland up so that his reputation in all of Hollevin would be tarnished.
But Roland and Andonara had been keeping a low profile.
They spent most of their time in Delpon and rarely socialized with other nobles.
Until now, the fact that the queen was following Roland only spread in a small circle.
This surprised and touched the royal family a little.
So the last time the old king invited Roland to become the royal Mage, it was a gesture of goodwill.
Although Roland refused, Roland didn't do anything that materially harmed the royal family's interests.
Now, it seemed that he had come to help.
He even went against his own kind, the Golden Sons, for this.
It seemed that putting the queen by Roland's side wasn't a losing business.
This was what the old king thought now, what the royal family thought.
It was out of this mentality that Antis mentioned the marriage.
In his heart, he hoped that Roland wouldn't do this and continue to maintain the relationship between the two sides.
Seeing Roland shake his head, Antis was quite happy.
Although he and Roland were friends, he also valued the interests of his royal family, and it was naturally a good thing that there was no conflict between the two sides now.
When this man was happy, his face seemed to glow and he looked even more beautiful. "Where are you going to live next?"
"Back to Delpon."
"Then how should we inform you when we're ready?" Antis walked slowly with his slender hands behind his back. "We're not like you, who can teleport around. Why don't you stay here in the capital for a few days? "
"That's fine!" Roland felt that the other party had a point.
"Although there are a few hotels in the capital that are considered high-end, there's no guarantee that their bedding and food are 100% clean." Antis revealed a smile. "Why don't you come to my manor and stay for now? It's close anyway. And the clients in the manor are large, and the beds are large. "
Well … although Antis's statement was a bit ambiguous, it was actually very common in Hollevin. There was a saying here that when a friend was invited to stay at one's house, they could ignore everything else, but they had to sleep comfortably, so a large, soft bed in the guest room was necessary.
Roland knew that the other party's words weren't ambiguous, so he thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Antis's smile was like a rainbow, and he seemed very happy.
Ten minutes later, the two of them entered a huge manor.
The soldiers guarding the gate were a little surprised to see their master return with a young man.
Of course, their surprise was only for a moment.
Then they restrained themselves.
Roland followed Antis into the manor. The layout here was similar to that of most nobles' manors, and if there was any difference, it was that it was very big. Xishi Literature
From the conversation on the way back, he learned that this manor was exclusively owned by Antis.
To be able to get such a large piece of land in a place like the capital where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, it wasn't something that could be done with money alone.
Even ordinary nobles couldn't do it.
After entering the manor, it was the routine reception of the nobles.
All kinds of delicious food and fun things were served.
Even a few maids were sent to sit next to Roland.
Of course, Roland didn't touch them.
Antis wasn't surprised.
Andonara was beautiful and nice, and these maids were a bit beautiful, but they were far from her in other aspects.
It was already evening when the noble reception was finished.
Roland sat on the balcony and looked at the stars. He had to admit that Antis's family's chef was quite good, and the fried steak and tender lamb soup were extremely delicious.
He ate a little too much, and now his stomach was a little bloated.
It didn't take long for Antis to come over. He had taken a shower and was wearing a tight nightgown.
Through the nightgown, it could be vaguely seen that his figure was very slender, a bit like a female's.
He sat next to Roland, also looking up at the stars, and said slowly, "Roland, do you know? When I was young, I had a wish, and that was to become the most powerful Warrior in the world. "
Roland turned his head to look at him. "Not anymore?"
"I was hit by Andonara," Antis said helplessly. "She's the one who really has the talent of a Warrior, and now she's awakened the Hero's Blood. She's still young, and it's estimated that in another twenty or thirty years, no one in this world will be able to beat her, maybe not even the ancient dragons. "
"Yes." Roland also felt that this was very likely.
Even though Andonara didn't exercise much now, Roland could still feel that she was still slowly getting stronger.
This "slow" was relative … After all, it was extremely difficult to improve further when one's strength reached a certain level.
Others couldn't improve, but she was just "slow."
As for why Roland could feel it … The two of them were often lovey-dovey at night, and Roland could feel that some parts of her body were still slowly getting more elastic.
At this rate, when would he be able to break through her defenses?
"Now my wish is just to be able to live in peace until eighty years old alone."
Roland was a little surprised. "Not considering marriage and having children?"
"I'm too half-hearted, and now my body is in a very strange situation. I can't change back, I can't change back!" Antis said disappointedly. "This situation has been recorded in our clan, and it's almost impossible to have children again."
Roland froze. He vaguely remembered that Antis was the so-called Quark. Some time ago, he took the time to look up the characteristics of the Quarks, which were that they could determine their gender according to their "feelings."
In other words … the current Antis could be both a man and a woman.
So complicated.
Roland shrugged. He wasn't prejudiced about other people's gender perceptions.
"It's okay, you're still my friend, and I don't care about these things."
Roland shook the cup in his hand at Quark.
Antis stared at Roland, and after a while, he laughed and reached out to pull down the robe on his chest, revealing a flat but fair skin. "Do you want to see what state I'm in now?"
"No need." Roland immediately turned his head.
Hahahahaha.
Seeing Roland deflated, Antis laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said, "Roland, I suddenly want to sit on the throne of the king, will you help me?"
Roland:?
"I'm also a member of the royal family, with the blood of the royal family of Hollevin in me, and I can also qualify for that." Antis laughed. "The other princes and princesses are too outrageous, and letting them become king or queen would be a disaster for us in Hollevin. So, I want you to help me, friend! "
Roland was silent for a moment. "How to help, you should also know that we Golden Sons are greatly restricted, and there are many things we can't do, especially evil."
"Of course, we can still find out about this," Antis said slowly. "I just need you and Andonara to protect me for a while and not let me be assassinated. I can take care of the rest myself."
"That's no problem." Roland thought for a moment and said, "The old king … are you going to kill him?"
"I won't. Uncle is very good to me, and after he abdicates, he can move freely under normal circumstances. If he's too dissatisfied, he'll at most be under house arrest, "Antis said in a strange tone. Antis said in a weird tone, "Actually, I'm a direct descendant of the royal family, as you know. If I stand up for the throne, Uncle King, he, won't be angry, and might even be quite happy. "
Oh, so that's how it is.
Antis is an illegitimate child.
Tsk … the noble circle is really messy.
Roland felt a lot of information coming at him.
After getting Roland's reply, Antis left.
Roland stayed in this manor for two days, and on the third day, he went to the council hall to watch the old king and the ministers discuss the matter of Cornucopia.
All kinds of denunciations and accusations.
The king finally followed Roland's suggestion and said in a difficult tone, "They're not strong, but under the protection of the other Golden Sons, we can't resist even if we want to. Is there no one in this world who has launched a just sanction against Cornucopia? "
Roland edited the video of this meeting, set it to some sad music, and then opened the forum, ready to upload the video.
As a result, he saw a hot post title that was quite eye-catching because it had his name on it.
"Accusing Roland of Shameless Behavior, Controlling a City, and Maliciously Oppressing Lifestyle Players."
The post described how Roland bullied Cornucopia and how he unreasonably drove them out of Delpon, causing them economic losses of at least a million or so.
After reading the content of the post, Roland scrolled down and found that many people had already left comments.
"Tsk, people get arrogant when they're powerful. The number one Mage is nothing more than this."
"People change."
"It's just one person's word. Who knows if it's true or false? Put up the decisive evidence."
"Don't say that. If they could come up with it, they wouldn't just write a post. There would at least be a video."
"Roland is really arrogant. I've met him face to face and suffered at his hands. It's not surprising that something like this happened. "
"Tsk, you paid posters really think we don't know what Cornucopia has done in other cities."
Casually scrolling, Roland shook his head.
This post must have been made up by someone who wanted to complain first.
It might be able to trick some people who didn't know the truth, but without decisive evidence, a large number of people would choose to be rational and watch.
And once someone counterattacked, it would be like a mountain torrent that couldn't be stopped.
Now, Roland was going to counterattack.
He quickly finished editing the post and clicked "Post."
