in the name of the queen

Chapter 53 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
  Not only superior and inferior, but also life and death?

A dignified writer actually wants to use physical means to resolve disputes?

Roland shrugged, put down his wine glass, passed Alban, and walked in the other direction.

It sounds ridiculous, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Since ancient times, there is no second place in literature. Literati are usually harmonious among themselves, but the scene when they break up is really tragic.

Who says writers don't like duels?

Who can kill you with one shot?

Alban said the two names and walked away "angrily". Everyone could see that the conversation between him and Roland was "very unpleasant".

The cabinet ministers who were watching not far away thought that some shady deal would be reached between Roland and Albon, but it seemed that they were overly worried.

After watching the veteran actor Alban leave, Roland searched for relevant information in his mind.

Ever since he learned that old Macbeth had faked his death, Roland had no good impression of this family.

Unless there is a delicious sacrifice, Lao Yinbi will never show up easily, and killing a few juniors from the family will not make him change his plan.

Since someone offered to give him his head, how could he refuse?

Based on the clues and existing intelligence provided by Alban, Roland quickly targeted two ninth-level transcendent beings from the Macbeth family.

Finley Macbeth, [writer].

Carl Vinson Macbeth, [Knight].

If the Macbeth family were challenged by knights, Roland would choose the writer's usual method of dueling with muskets, and risk his life or death.

Although the fighting skills taught by his father are very strong, he is self-aware and will not blindly think that he can defeat the [Knight] head-on with physical skills.

If you can't win with physical skills, musket shooting under the cover of smoke bombs is the only option.

If the opponent sends [Writer] to challenge him, he will not hesitate to choose a physical competition.

After all, musket shooting is a gamble on life. If you can't do it, don't do it. His fighting skills can't cure a professional knight, but he can't cure a mere [writer]?
  fair?

What a joke.

To have an advantage in intelligence and still have a fair duel with the enemy is an ideological problem.

He was just curious, how did the Macbeth family choose?

After the dinner atmosphere was pushed to a climax by melodious music, the housekeeper stepped onto the podium and raised his right hand high.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to detain you for a minute."

The housekeeper's feminine voice echoed in the hall, and the whole place fell into silence.

His voice made Roland feel a little uncomfortable.

Sussex is a civilized country and does not use eunuchs as eunuchs like the Kingdom of Alba in the eastern Rodinian continent.

But it was unrealistic for other men to appear in the emperor's court. If they were bought and sold, they would be killed. Tortures more cruel than castration appeared.

Thanks to the highly developed alchemy, the internal affairs department used alchemical potions to raise orphans from childhood and deprived them of their right to development.

The housekeeper is this kind of alchemical eunuch.

After attracting everyone's attention, the steward took the imperial order from the maid's hands and read it out in front of everyone.

The imperial order was very simple, appointing Roland as the leader of the knights.

Upon hearing this appointment, some cabinet ministers who were not aware of it looked at each other.

They did not understand the Queen's arrangements.

The Grand Master may seem to have a high status, but in fact he is dangerous and has no real power.

They really don't mind this way of entering the club.

But the unexpected result made them feel as if they were missing something while walking up the stairs.

They were more concerned about Sylph's loss of control than Roland's entry into the army.

This queen has been able to prepare so many surprises even before she ascends the throne. How about officially ascending the throne?
  We must think of a way.

The cabinet ministers had their own thoughts and did not come to congratulate Roland, but others were different. The title of Grand Master of the Royal Knights is very bluffing.

To those nobles and officials who were not at the center of power, Roland's promotion speed was like fireworks set off on the night of Advent, which went up to the sky with a whoosh.

The second-class elites who were lucky enough to be invited could hardly conceal their envy.

The second class is mainly composed of clergy, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities from all walks of life. They are not nobles, but they have huge wealth or considerable social influence.

These people have complicated feelings towards nobles and high officials.

Both dependent and fearful.

Half a month ago, Roland's identity was just an ordinary citizen of the empire, belonging to the third class, but now he has jumped to the first class.

This is just like sitting on fireworks
  No, the fireworks don’t fly that fast.

This is simply how fast it is to get into the queen's bed!

Rumors circulating the past few days have been recalled again.

In the eyes of many people, this is not a rumor, but solid evidence.

If Roland and the Queen didn't have an ulterior relationship, how could it be like this?

Just when Roland replaced Sylph and became the focus of everyone's attention, and was surrounded by everyone to send congratulations, discordant sounds came unexpectedly.

"Mr. Roland, I don't think you are qualified to be Her Majesty the Queen's guardian."

Everyone followed the sound and looked at the provocateur.

With a tall figure of nearly two meters tall and rough facial features, he looked like a rough man no matter how he looked. Although she was wearing a dress, she looked out of place among the elegant gentlemen and ladies.

Seeing the figure of the provocateur, the people who were surrounding Roland just now dispersed quietly.

There was a good show to watch.

Someone showed a gloating smile.

The provocateur was not even willing to address Roland as "Your Excellency", but instead used the very general term "Mr."

Even a blind person can see that this is looking for trouble.

Carl Vinson Macbeth, the most famous young talent of the Macbeth family in contemporary times, is an extraordinary person who embarks on the road of [knight].

He has repeatedly used his extraordinary abilities to defeat his opponents in a high-profile manner. Many people know that his special ability is [Unshakable Power], but few people know how skilled his fighting skills are.

He strode to a place seven or eight meters in front of Roland and stood there, staring at Roland.

Roland was not surprised by the provocation. He smiled and teased:
  "Mr. Carl Vinson, you should now change your name to Your Excellency and apologize to me. I don't talk to uneducated people."

Carl Vinson choked on Roland's words.

Roland is right. When facing Roland, who is the leader of the knights, honorifics must be used in formal situations.

Macbeth's family is powerful, but this is not the reason for him to trample on the rules.

He never expected that Roland would be so calm, avoid provocation directly, and attack him crazily from the moral high ground of education.

Looking at the various expressions of the onlookers, Carl Vinson knew that he could not bend the rules, so he gritted his teeth and muttered with a livid face:

"The Macbeth family, Carl Vinson, apologize for the offense just now."

As he was forced to bow his head, the onlookers became more interested.

Carl Vinson may seem rude, but he is no fool.

His purpose was to kill Roland in a duel, not a battle of wills.

Honor duels are a matter of honor, higher than life and death, and the emperor cannot stop them.

If Roland dared to accept it, he would dare to kill him.

While everyone was waiting for Roland to accept his apology and start the subsequent plot, Roland shook his head with a sarcastic smile and said slowly:
  "Mr. Carl Vinson. A real apology should clearly explain how it was offended and why it was apologized. The most important thing is to be sincere, so that it can be forgiven."

"I don't accept a perfunctory apology."
