In the Name of the Queen

The assassin appeared so suddenly that almost no one reacted.

This included the stunned Sea Witch.

Even if she had the strength of a rank seven, the emotional girl's mind would go blank.

She recognized the assassin's identity and felt even worse.

Assassinating the husband of the object of secret love because of unrequited love was simply insane.

Just as Adina was shocked, two figures flashed in an instant.

Sif and Roland noticed something was wrong the moment the assassin jumped out.

Sif instantly activated [Insight] and caught a glimpse of the dark red on the assassin's head.

Blood red means direct malice, and dark red means indirect malice.

In a flash, she guessed that this person probably wanted to harm Edward, and she had no time to speak. She just pinched Roland's palm and rushed out.

Roland's movements were no slower than Sif's.

He even rushed in front of Sif.

At the moment the assassin pulled out the dagger, Roland had come behind him, held his hand, took the dagger away and hid it in his sleeve.

Because of the obstruction of vision, only a few people saw the assassin holding a knife.

The assassin didn't even say the word "die" completely before the glove thrown by Sif was stuffed into his mouth, sobbing and unable to speak.

"Asshole, don't go too far in the impromptu show, so many VIPs are watching."

Roland smiled and patted the assassin's shoulder, easily subdued the assassin, then pinched the assassin's neck, and forcibly took the assassin away with his arms around his shoulders.

From the perspective of passers-by, it looked like a reckless man rushed up to make trouble and was persuaded away by Roland.

But Adina saw the whole process clearly.

She could even see Roland pinching the assassin's mouth and forcibly squeezing out the small black pill, not giving the assassin a chance to commit suicide.

Adina's originally fair face was even more bloodless.

She bit her lips tightly and tried to calm down.

Roland winked at Adina, asking her to calm down and continue the wedding.

After dragging the assassin away, the wedding went on as usual.

Most of the onlookers didn't even know what happened, and the few who saw it pretended not to see it.

Everyone was a respectable person and had to save face.

No one knew whether the assassin acted on his own or was instructed by someone, but since he was caught, there was always a way to pry open his mouth.

In this era, there are many ways to torture, and not many people can withstand torture.

Roland handed the assassin to Adina's guard captain, returned to the wedding scene, and reunited with Sif.

He glanced at the wedding that was still going on, and praised Adina a little more.

After the initial surprise, she quickly regained her composure and controlled her emotions well, still the brightest star today.

Sif looked at Roland with concern. She didn't dare to ask directly, but quickly wrote a few words on his palm with her fingertips.

Roland leaned close to her ear, and a warm breeze blew.

"The assassin was handed over to the guard captain, and I don't know what happened next."

"Why?" Sif's curiosity was not satisfied, and she was a little disappointed.

The question that came out of her mouth made her laugh first.

Roland's choice was very correct.

Aidina must be uncomfortable with this kind of thing. If Roland interrogates the assassin without authorization and asks something serious, it will be even more troublesome.

Good intentions lead to bad results, and even more enemies.

At night, the huge light source above the underwater city gradually dimmed. Usually, there are very few sea demons wandering on the streets at this time, but today is different.

Today is the wedding of their great king, the sea witch Aidina.

Her marriage to a land human made many secret admirers sad.

Although people with brains would not really imagine that they would have the opportunity to be favored by the sea witch, it is always inevitable to feel inexplicably melancholy when they know that the goddess they secretly love is getting married.

Never been in love, but have been heartbroken, this is probably the mood.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The admirers of the sea witch get drunk in the tavern to numb themselves.

The assassin kept screaming under torture, trying to resist to the end.

Sif and Roland sat on the terrace and stared at the dome of the underwater city in a daze.

Sif couldn't sleep, so Roland couldn't sleep either.

After a long silence, Sif finally sighed and said, "I really hope that what happened during the day won't affect my father's good mood."

Roland wanted to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't.

Sif frowned slightly and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Please restrain yourself, that's my father."

Roland restrained his smile and said softly, "Don't worry, although Adina is smart, she is just a little girl in front of your father, and she is easy to coax."

She is easy to coax, but it requires a lot of physical strength.

Edward must fill her with love and not let her be distracted.

Perhaps thinking of what they are doing at the moment, Sif's cheeks are slightly red, and she forcibly changes the subject.

"By the way, where did you go during the day?"

"Library."

"Library? Are there any romance novels? The love story under the sea must be very interesting, right?" Sif's eyes were full of curiosity.

"I didn't go to the art area, but there should be some."

"I can't sleep anyway, come with me to the library!" Sif stood up suddenly.

Seeing Sif in such a good mood, Roland naturally wouldn't spoil her fun.

Arriving at the library, Roland originally thought it would be troublesome to bring Sif in without a reading card, but he didn't expect the stubborn old librarian to not make things difficult for him at all.

Not only did he not make things difficult, he was even very enthusiastic, like a completely different person from during the day.

Not only that, the librarian also reminded Roland that some books only appeared at night, so he should pay more attention.

Following Roland into the library, Sif couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, "I remember you said that the old secretary secretary is very stubborn and doesn't even want you to read. Is that true?"

Roland shrugged and did not answer.

Two possibilities.

Maybe it was because Xifu had a beautiful smile and beauty was the best passport, so the old man was too embarrassed to stop her.

It may also be that the old man attended the wedding during the day and knew that Roland came to Adina's rescue.

All in all it went very smoothly.

Although she really wanted Roland to accompany her to read romance novels, Sif knew that Roland had serious business, so she had no choice but to shake Roland's hand hard, and then reluctantly parted.

Perhaps stimulated by her old father's remarriage, Xif now really wants to read some romance novels to soothe her feeling of relief and sadness.

My father is getting married, and the bride is not my mother. Everyone has to get used to this kind of thing.

Roland still came to Area A. As the old secretary said, there were indeed a few books at night that would not appear during the day, waiting for the destined person.

To be precise, this is not a book in the traditional sense, but a carrier of ideas.

When Roland's hand touched a translucent book, the library disappeared instantly, and he was in a place similar to a 3D virtual theater.

Having had the experience of watching videos at the Magic Association, Roland was not too surprised.

His eyes quickly focused on the hero and heroine of the story.

He didn't know the male protagonist, but the female protagonist.

The goddess of light? !

Roland's eyes widened.

Friends who often chat and laugh with goddesses know that the image rights of gods are unique.

When the divine personality is condensed and the true name of the god is engraved on the pillars of the divine realm, mortals will not be able to have a face similar to the goddess.

So this person must be the goddess of light.

To be precise, she is the goddess of light before she ascends to the divine realm.

Since there is such exciting content, Roland will naturally not miss it. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and stared at the two people who were gradually approaching.

The man walking side by side with the goddess of light has a handsome face, an extraordinary temperament, and his eyes are as deep as the blue ocean.

Roland had a vague illusion that this man's aura and strength were not inferior to the goddess of light, at least on the same level.

Otherwise, the goddess of light would not have put her soft little hands in his palm and whispered softly.

"Poseidon, are you really willing to share it with me?"

"Tiya, you have eternal time to verify my sincerity. Without you, my world will lose its light." The handsome man said with a smile.

As expected of the Poseidon, he is so good at flirting.

But thinking of the cold eyes of the goddess of light, Roland felt inexplicably nauseated.

He knew the identity of the handsome man.

Poseidon, King of the Sea.

Unexpectedly, he was once the lover of Tia, the goddess of light.

Thinking of Tia's success in becoming a god and Poseidon staying in the material plane and even falling into a deep sleep, Roland vaguely felt that the inside story was not simple.

It's a pity that this video is all about Poseidon and Tia's daily life together, and there is no important information.

Poseidon believed in love, but Tia didn't believe it.

Seeing the moment they kissed, Roland knew that this couple would be doomed sooner or later.

When the two hugged each other, and when Poseidon closed his eyes, a trace of indifference that was difficult to conceal flashed in the corners of the eyes of the goddess of light.

Some loves are dead long ago, and they are just buried until the day they become gods.

As the screen gradually faded to white, Roland returned to the library.

All the translucent books floating in the air disappeared, the library returned to its original state, and fell silent again.

Just as Roland was recalling the story just now, Sif hurried over.

"Roland, I found the books that only appear at night!"

"Really? I found it too." Roland said with a smile.

Sif was a little curious, "What did you see? I discovered an amazing secret here."

"Is it the love story between the Emperor of the Sea and the Goddess of Light?" Roland asked with a smile.

"How do you know, wait, are we reading a book?" Sif opened her eyes wide, her eyelashes trembling slightly with excitement.

"Maybe, why don't you tell me what you saw first?" Roland's curiosity was also aroused.

Sif looked around to make sure there was no one waiting in the library, then lowered her voice and said:

"Did you know? The Goddess of Light is just one of the many admirers of the Poseidon. The Emperor of the Sea has had countless lovers, but in the end he fell into the hands of the Goddess of Light. It can be regarded as a kind of reincarnation."

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling something was wrong.

Wait, this story seems different from what he saw. What's going on?

Even as he was wondering, Sif had already started sharing the story.

In the version that Sif saw, the powerful and handsome Poseidon easily captured the hearts of countless beautiful girls, and his own life style was as bohemian as his name.

No matter how delicious the food is, there is a time when you get tired of it. Finally, Poseidon was tired of the life of changing brides for a month at most, and he wanted to find a home.

Tia appeared.

Roland kept comparing the two versions of the story and found that they were completely different.

Except that these two people had an intimate relationship, everything else was completely different.

Seeing that Roland was deep in thought and silent, Sif came over and asked in a low voice:

"Roland, why doesn't the goddess erase the dark history of being just one of the Poseidon's admirers?"

because of her.

Wait, what is all this nonsense?
