194 I Always Treat People With Sincerity
The queen was kidnapped by a spellcaster?
Well… Roland suddenly thought of a lot of irrelevant things, which were understandable, because the queen must be very beautiful according to common sense .
Roland had met the princess yesterday . She was beautiful, so it was only natural that her mother was beautiful too .
Then, a spellcaster took the queen away . He didn’t kill her but kidnapped her, and her beauty must be one of the reasons for that .
So, Roland’s random thoughts were normal and reasonable for a man of his age .
Seeing Roland’s reaction, the soldier chuckled . “You seem very surprised, don’t you?”
Roland asked back, “Are you not surprised?”
“Not really . ” The soldier shook his head . “She’s the king’s third queen anyway . ”
Huh?
Roland was even more surprised . “Three queens have been taken away?”
The royal family of Hollevin seemed too lousy . Three queens had been taken away from the heavily guarded royal palace, and no lessons were learned at all?
The soldier’s pretty face now revealed a smile . “They weren’t all taken away . The first queen was assassinated by a foreign country, the second queen died in an accident, and I don’t think the third queen will meet a good end . ”
“It seems that being the queen of Hollevin is a dangerous job,” Roland couldn’t help but remark .
The pretty soldier nodded . “Indeed . I’m told that every king in history had a couple of queens . The deceased queens died either in assassinations or in accidents . They say it’s a special curse, but I don’t know if it’s true . ”
“Every king?” Roland secretly clicked his tongue .
The pretty soldier nodded .
Roland suddenly thought of another question . “Which queen is Princess Evelyn’s mother?”
“You know Evelyn?” The pretty soldier was surprised .
“I’m just asking . ”
Roland didn’t tell the soldier that he had talked to Princess Evelyn only yesterday because it would sound like bragging .
The pretty soldier glanced at Roland with his big eyes and smiled . “Princess Evelyn is the first queen’s daughter . ”
Oh… Roland nodded .
People were entering and exiting the gate . Many of them peeped at Roland and the soldier and left quietly .
The pretty soldier turned his head aside and said, “I think it will take a while before Bard arrives . Do you want to take a rest in our lounge?”
Roland thought for a moment and said, “Okay, thank you for your trouble . ”
It was definitely not comfortable to be stared at by everyone on the road .
The pretty soldier said, “You’re too kind . ”
Then, he led Roland to an aisle next to the city gate and opened a secret door .
There was a small room behind the door with a coverage of about fifteen square meters . Three soldiers were talking and laughing around a table .
Seeing the pretty soldier, they were so scared that they all stood and saluted him . “Officer Antis!”
The pretty soldier nodded at them and said gently, “Get out . I need to occupy this place to entertain this Mage . If you see Bard outside, please tell him to come here . ”
The soldiers ran out of the room quickly .
“They seem scared of you!” Roland sat down on a chair . “I didn’t know you were named Antis . ”
Antis had been staring at Roland’s face . Seeing no reaction from him, he sat down too and smiled . “You don’t seem to know what my name represents . ”
Roland shrugged . “Sorry for my ignorance . ”
Antis smiled as sweetly as a teenage girl . “You must be a Golden Son . ”
Roland nodded and asked back, “How did you recognize me?”
“I’ve seen a few Golden Sons,” Antis said slowly . “Though your personality and behavior are different, your aura is the same . ”
Antis seemed bummed when he talked about Golden Sons . “I have some questions for you regarding the Golden Sons . ”
Roland made a “feel free to ask” gesture .
Then, Antis told Roland what happened to him .
About two months earlier, a few undying Golden Sons arrived at the capital .
Almost all the nobles were interested in them, and many of them invited the Golden Sons to visit their houses . When they were all half-drunk, some malicious guys said that they wanted to see how undying the Golden Sons were .
It seemed that the Golden Sons did not sense the nobles’ maliciousness . They simply said that they would lose what they called experience points if they died, so they wouldn’t perform unless they were given three gold coins .
Three gold coins for each person was not much for the nobles at all, who were eager for the entertainment .
The Golden Sons honored their promise after acquiring the coins . They stabbed their swords into their chests and died on the spot, making all the noble ladies scream and shout .
The male nobles didn’t look too good either . Having never been to a real battlefield, they had never seen such gory scenes before .
Then, the Golden Sons returned from the Temple of Life naked .
They even reclaimed their bodies after they returned, which was quite amazing .
It was a hit in the capital . Too many noble families invited the Golden Sons to perform .
As a result, the Golden Sons each earned more than a hundred gold coins for suicide performances in only two months .
Their income was even more than the income of many minor noble families .
Then one day, Antis’ family invited the Golden Sons over .
But the moment the Golden Sons saw him, they started talking dirty like “I love drag queens” and “I’m so excited . ” A lot of people were at the party back then . The male nobles tried to stay neutral, but all the noble ladies were chuckling while covering their mouths with a handkerchief .
Antis was so angry that he slashed the Golden Sons immediately .
The Golden Sons did not resist at all . They even had a “my life has been fulfilled” look on their face when they were cut into pieces, which was incomprehensible .
Those Golden Sons didn’t even want their bodies any longer after their resurrection . They cheered and ran out of the capital naked . The city guards were so dumbfounded that they simply watched the Golden Sons leave .
Now that Antis thought of it, the Golden Sons were probably not being malicious . There was nothing but excitement and joy in their eyes, and nothing negative .
Roland could only hold his forehead after hearing the story . Although their methods were humiliating, those players were indeed great moneymakers, and they even managed to escape after making a great amount of money .
“Your eyes are very similar,” Antis said slowly . “You look at everybody as if they were gold coins that could walk . ”
Roland was stunned . “Mine too?”
“More or less . ”
Roland found it hard to accept the remark . He had always treated everybody with sincerity . How could he have left the soldier such a first impression?
He was about to argue when the door opened, and Bard walked in delightedly .
