in the name of the queen

Chapter 74 I am the Queen
  The Silver Knight didn't expect Roland to move so quickly.

They were confused.

If you ask those who support change to stand up, not many will be willing to stand up. If the opponents were asked to stand up, not many people would stand up either.

There are always the most neutral people.

Roland's gaze slowly swept across the audience, like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of every knight.

A few knights who were about to stand up thought of Roland's methods and sat back down.

What's going on with this chair? It has burrs, so no one can sit on it anymore?
  Most knights choose to respect reality, but some are unwilling.

The reason why tradition is tradition is that some people insist on it.

Although Roland has the Queen's favor, powerful force, and what he said makes sense, they just don't accept giving up glory in melee combat.

The old knight who just spoke proudly stood up with his head held high.

Seeing him stand up, several more knights stood up.

Their eyes are firm, like martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for their ideals and beliefs.

Looking at their focused and tragic expressions, Roland knew that these people were hopeless.

They are remnants of the old era and reject the ticket of the new era.

Just let them go.
  From the corner of his eye, he saw the unbearable look in Xif's eyes, and her words became particularly soft when her lips came to her.

"Although you are stubborn, your loyalty deserves respect."

"Starting from today, you will be transferred out of combat positions and engaged in logistics work. Your wages will remain unchanged."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

The knights did not expect Roland to make such a decision.

In their imagination, Roland would definitely be furious, and then drive the opponents out of the Knights or even liquidate them to the end.

However, Roland only transferred them from combat positions and even retained their benefits.

What is this operation?
  Although they don't quite understand it, most knights think Captain Roland is kind and generous.

The knights dispersed.

Several opponents were left on the spot, ignored, and embarrassed and at a loss.

They could only leave in anger.

Only Roland and Sif were left in the huge conference hall.

Seeing that Sif's eyes were wandering, Roland knew that she had something to say, so he took the initiative to lock the door.

He sat down opposite Sif and waved his palm in front of her eyes, "Sif, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing. The sun is so nice today."

She talks random nonsense.

Roland looked at Sif's beautiful golden pupils, smiled and teased: "Yes, it is indeed beautiful, the golden sun is in your eyes."

Sif's cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered softly: "Roland, I have something to tell you."

It seems to be no small matter.

Roland poured a cup of black tea for Sif, imitated Sif's usual listening posture, put his hands on his chin, and said with a smile:
  "Speak, I'm listening."

Sif bit her lip, picked up the teacup, took a cautious sip, and cleared her throat.

Just when Roland was getting anxious waiting, she picked up the teacup again and took another sip.

"Sif, if you drink more tea, it will be gone."

Roland reminded with an itchy heart.

"Well, Roland, if I didn't have the chance to tell you something at the time, does it count as cheating if I tell you now?"

"Of course not!"

Roland gave an unequivocal answer in the affirmative.

Sif took a deep breath and placed the teacup on the table, her eyelashes trembling like dragonfly wings.

"Roland, I am the Queen."

Roland picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, his mind working rapidly.

Sif What does this mean?
  If she was the queen, who was the queen he and Sif met when they entered the palace that day?
  Obviously, Sif is not the Queen.

Roland immediately thought of the day when Sif hosted the art salon in place of the sick Queen.

Sif is more elegant than a decent queen, more like a real king.

Then there is only one truth!
  Roland put down the tea cup and said with a serious expression: "I understand, you want to replace it!"

Sif: "."

She stared at Roland, bit her lip and said solemnly: "I am not replacing her, I am the queen herself, and she is the real one!" Roland approached Sif and said in her ear: "I know, you don't need to explain. . Since you told me the truth, I won’t hide it. I planned to support you to replace her from the beginning. After all, we are friends."

"what?"

Sif was stunned for a moment.

Wait, Roland's words are too informative.

He wants to help her as an earl replace her as a queen?

She subconsciously asked casually: "Then what do you plan to do with the Queen?"

"You decide. Secret execution or imprisonment."

Sif's mind was a little confused. She grabbed Roland's shoulders and looked at Roland carefully.

"Roland, look at me, I am the queen, that one is fake and a puppet."

"fake?"

Roland looked into Sif's eyes and realized that she was not joking.

Countless images overlap instantly.

It turned out that it was not Count Sif who came out to see him that day, but Sif herself?
  Wang Defa, he just said everything.

He wants to help Sif, who is the earl, overthrow Sif, who is the queen.

Ugh, it’s over.

Their eyes met, and both of them were a little confused.

Sif let go of Roland's hand and sat back in her seat silently, holding the teacup and stunned.

Roland also sat back in his seat, holding the tea cup, his brain shut down.

With just one sentence, he committed two serious crimes: treason and bullying.

As expected of you, Roland.

Neither of them dared to look into each other's eyes, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only sip the tea in silence.

The tea cup is not big, so I will finish it at some point.

The two of them reached out to the teapot at the same time, touched it in the air, and then bounced away like an electric shock.

Silence filled the hall, making a deafening roar.

It was Sif who finally broke the silence.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Roland, this is a misunderstanding."

"Yes, yes, this is definitely a misunderstanding!" Roland calmly raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

Sif turned sideways slightly, wiping the sweat from her forehead by twirling her hair.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, there is no deception!" She said categorically.

"You are right, there is no deception, so there is no"

"There is no rebellion or deception, absolutely not!" Sif answered quickly.

Roland was so moved that he was speechless.

That's right, Sif, long live understanding!

The two let out a sigh of relief at the same time and looked at each other tentatively.

Sif said softly: "Roland, our conversation today must stay in the conference room forever and cannot be taken out, okay?"

"I completely agree." Roland looked serious and was ecstatic in his heart.

Sif smiled and said: "There will never be deception between us, only sincerity."

Roland was about to agree when he suddenly thought of Alina.

He once had the idea of ​​​​Korun, so he met Alina.

If Sif doesn't ask about the process of getting to know Alina now, she may not be confused in the future.

While the atmosphere is in place today, why not tell me everything!

Seeing Roland's changing face, Sif felt a little guilty.

If Roland doesn't ask about some things now, he may not be confused in the future.

While the atmosphere is in place today, why not tell me everything!

The two of them raised their heads at the same time and said in unison:

"Roland, let's play a truth-telling game?"

"Sif, let's play a truth game, shall we?"
