in the name of the queen

Chapter 14 It’s not okay to stay out all night

Although the misunderstanding just now made the atmosphere a little embarrassing, as long as you are not embarrassed, the only thing that is embarrassing is the atmosphere. Roland smiled calmly, threw his coat on the table, sat upright in the chair, and assumed the "thinker" pose as requested by Alina.

Alina took off her glasses, corrected Roland's posture a little, then sat back and started painting.

The sound of burning wood comes from the fireplace, and the soft magic light illuminates the living room particularly brightly.

Roland glanced at Alina out of the corner of his eye. He had a strange feeling that she seemed to be a different person when she put on her glasses.

The one wearing glasses is Alina, the special envoy of the Golden Kite, and Alina, the captain.

After taking off her glasses, she is just Alina, an international student majoring in art.

Carefully recalling the moments when they got along, Roland became more firm in his judgment.

This is good, because when you get along with Alina, you can judge her specific form through the glasses.

Just when Roland was curious that there were no servants in such a big house, an indifferent maid came in carrying a wooden bucket.

The maid added a few pieces of wood to the fireplace and left silently.

From beginning to end, she neither greeted Roland nor spoke to Alina.

Roland narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is very unreasonable.

Even if Alina cannot be disturbed while she is painting, under normal circumstances the maid will wait nearby to take orders instead of leaving on her own.

Even if you have to leave, is there any rule for leaving without saying hello?

Can this robot-like maid really keep her job?
  Alina did not stop the painting brush in her hand, and explained softly: "That is the alchemical golem maid, not a human being."

It turned out to be the case.

Alchemy golems that cannot be seen without looking carefully are not cheap.

As expected of the special envoy from the commercial country Jin Yuan, he is really rich.

Although he was so sleepy that he didn't want to wake up after being raped by the female dragon, Roland gritted his teeth and braced himself to sit up straight.

He didn't even notice that his sitting posture always followed Teacher Margaret's instructions.

Alina draws very quickly.

The painter's intention is not to paint, but to focus on Roland's illusory fate.

A few cards quietly came to the palm.

Under the cover of the drawing board, Alina skillfully combined the cards, and the power of the stars fluctuated slightly in the palm of her hand.

She was concentrating and holding her breath, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Finally, she cleared away the light green fog shrouding Roland's destiny barrier.

Her eyes passed through the lush forest and saw the sea of ​​​​splendid flowers.

But soon more mist shrouded the sea of ​​flowers.

Alina was stunned.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Touching destiny is not without cost.

The price of failure is injury or even death.

Alina skillfully threw the puppet to block the fatal backlash.

The puppet doll ate backlash, and its originally fair and cute face became extremely ferocious.

The white face of the puppet doll is covered with green, which is obviously the backlash of natural magic.

Alina put away the puppet in fear and glanced nervously at Roland, only to find that this guy actually
  No, can you fall asleep here?

She was almost taken away on the spot by the backlash, but he could actually sleep?

Alina softly called Roland's name, confirming that Roland was sitting there asleep, and her racing heart finally calmed down a little.

She was very sure that Roland's identity was not simple.

He hides his identity and abilities in the post office, and must have some agenda.

This observation of Roland's fate ends here.

She won't try again until she's sure.

The puppet blocked most of the backlash, but she was still seriously injured and needed careful nursing.

Alina snapped her fingers, summoned the devil maid, asked the maid to put Roland into bed, and then hurried to the study.

Opening the box on the bottom floor, he took out a few yellowed ancient books and tried to find the answer.

Unsurprisingly, nothing was found.

The beautiful sea of ​​​​flowers, green mist, and dense forests seemed to be full of vitality, but they made her heart skip a beat. She smelled danger and even death, but she didn't know what was hidden behind Roland.

Is it the Black Forest Society, the Druids, or an unknown mysterious organization that believes in nature gods?

Just thinking about these scenes made her tremble as if she were standing on the top of an iceberg wearing single clothes.

Alina breathed heavily, trying to calm herself down.

In any case, Roland cannot be treated as an ordinary person.

She regrets now why she wanted to touch the unspeakable and unknown fate.

Maybe this is the ultimate destination for astrologers.

Almost every great astrologer suffered a backlash because he touched destiny too deeply.

For those who observe destiny, very few will die well.

Alina smiled in relief and couldn't think of how to face Roland for a while.

I don't know if this guy is really tired or just pretending to be asleep to avoid embarrassment.

Alina's eyes drifted to the window, looking at the dark night without any hint of sleepiness.

Roland was really tired.

He had no idea when he fell asleep or when the devil maid carried him to the bed and covered him with a quilt.

When he woke up in a daze, the hand on the wall clock already pointed to four in the morning.

Roland sat up in confusion and looked down at the quilt under the moonlight. It was obvious that this was not home.

Who am I, where am I, what happened?
  Rubbing his eyes, his memory gradually returned.

He is here to fulfill his contract.

Since we don’t want foreign female spies to visit us, we have to take the initiative to visit them.

Then he took off his clothes and acted as a model.

He has no memory of what happened next.

Touching his pajamas, he felt a little flustered, but quickly calmed down.

Good news: There's no bad woman lying around with no clothes on.

Bad news: He doesn't have a bad woman lying around with no clothes on.

It can be seen that in Alina's mind, his united front value is still very low, and it is not worth wasting too many resources on him.

Although it is considerate to skip the tiger bench pepper water and soldering iron stage, there is no honey trap.

Alina is a special envoy, and there must be female spies under her command who perform special tasks.

As long as the target value is enough, the peach trap and the fairy jump will be properly arranged.

In Alina's mind, he was nothing more than a painting model and astrological observation sample.

With a sigh of relief, Roland was going home.

After changing into the clothes he had come in, he hesitated.

According to common sense, he should wait until dawn to say goodbye to Alina before leaving. It would be rude to leave directly.

But returning home at dawn is completely different.

Staying up late at night is not the same thing as coming home late from work.

After struggling for a second, Roland finally remembered that he was a clerk.

Just write a letter and leave it.

It only took Roland a few minutes to write a short handwritten letter.

First I said sorry for falling asleep, then I said thank you for taking me in, and finally I said goodbye happily.

He is a perfect example of a clerk who does everything in one go.

Leaving behind a handwritten letter, he tiptoed to the corridor, fearing to wake up the sleeping captain.

Just as he was about to leave the corridor, the golem maid appeared.

Although he didn't know the intelligence level of the golem maid, Roland still tried to explain: "Thank you for taking me in, but I have to go home. I left a thank you letter to Miss Alina, please help convey my gratitude."

The golem maid looked at Roland expressionlessly and walked away.

It was as if what he was seeing was air.

Alina did not give any instructions to intercept or kill Roland.

According to the underlying logic, Roland is a neutral creature.

What neutral creatures do has nothing to do with her.
