In the Name of the Queen

Before Wald's condition worsened, Roland quickly asked back:

"Mr. Wald, don't be angry! Think about it, which of the traitors in history did not swear allegiance to the monarch?"

"Think about it again, which of the cabinet ministers did not swear allegiance to His Majesty Edward? Their oath must include assisting the new monarch."

Wald's anger froze at the corner of his lips, and finally turned into a sigh, a trace of regret.

The answer to this question is obvious, there is no need to be stubborn.

He did not answer, but looked at Roland with a little dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't evade the problem! Even if someone breaks the oath, you are different from them, you will not break the oath easily."

You are very good at flattering, don't use moral kidnapping!

Roland will not be grateful for this trust.

In political struggles, the higher the bottom line, the greater the weakness. Keeping the oath is both a good thing and a bad thing.

He simply avoided Walder's topic and said calmly:

"I am a friend of Count Sif, and helping her is equivalent to serving the Queen."

Walder looked at Roland with a complicated look.

He didn't look like he was lying.

When people lie, they can't keep their eyes straight and clear as water.

Even the most experienced actors can't deceive his observation.

Even if he can't see it, Sif, who has the ability of [Insight], can definitely do it.

Roland didn't lie.

Such a cunning guy, didn't realize that they were the same person?

Walder thought silently, this is probably because the light is dark. Roland had a preconceived idea that they were two people from the beginning, and even if there were clues, they would be ignored by his brain.

Since he didn't recognize it, he didn't want to point it out.

Just treat it as a game for young people.

The old man who had just sat up lay back down and asked calmly, "Are you willing to swear allegiance to Count Sif?"

"If I have to find someone to swear allegiance to, then I choose Count Sif."

Wald moved his body, turned his face to the window, and suppressed his smile.

This was the first time Roland made him happy.

Roland also had his misjudgments, and the old man was in a much better mood.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. This is your business for young people. Go, I'm tired."

Roland originally thought that the old man would force him to formally swear allegiance, but he didn't expect that he would let him go easily.

This is good.

Only those who value oaths will consider the backlash of oaths.

Once you swear allegiance, you have to be like a subject swearing allegiance to the monarch.

That's so restrained.

Fortunately, Sif never mentioned this matter, and never acted like a high-ranking noble.

Although the thick barrier was there, Sif would always open the door and come over to make the barrier disappear.

Thinking of the difference between Queen Sylph and Count Sif, Roland was more certain of his opinion.

Long live friendship!

After leaving Walder's house, Roland looked up and saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

He knew this car.

Count Sif's car.

Just as he was wondering why Sif was here, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender white hand, and the soft voice was a bit teasing.

"You can't even recognize my car? Get in the car."

Roland quickly got in the car and sat down opposite Sif.

Sif was reading a book.

"The Biography of Monarchs".

Although the effect of temporary cram school may not be good, it is always a good thing to read more.

Reading more "The Biography of Monarchs" can learn from the successful experiences of wise monarchs of all dynasties, and can also summarize the failure lessons of foolish monarchs.

How good

Wait!

Roland's face changed slightly.

It's okay for Her Majesty the Queen to read this kind of book, but why is Sif also reading it?

Could it be?

The bold idea that had just been suppressed became active again.

Could it be that Sif saw that her good sister was useless, and the royal blood in her body was ready to move?

Sif was a branch of the royal family, and logically she was not qualified to inherit the throne. However, His Majesty Edward's branch had never been prosperous, and the only offspring were Prince Finau and the second princess Sylva.

If Sylva encountered an "accident", Sif might really inherit the throne.

Although it was late autumn, beads of sweat still rolled down Roland's forehead.

Although Sif was his friend and he was willing to help, regicide and rebellion were a matter of risking the lives of the whole family, so he had to be cautious.

Sif closed the "Biography of Monarchs" and put it aside.

She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Roland.

"Here, wipe it off. You look sweaty. Did he embarrass you?"

Roland took the handkerchief, wiped off the sweat, and said half-jokingly: "He didn't embarrass me, it was you and Her Majesty the Queen who made me embarrassed."

Sif was also a little embarrassed.

She knew that whether Roland was pressured by Teacher Walder or Teacher Walder got sick due to anger, it was directly related to her.

She sighed softly and said faintly: "I'm sorry."

"We are friends, let's not talk about this. You helped me win the championship and solve the crisis. I will never back down when you encounter problems. But some things can only be hoped after the foundation is solid."

Roland was hinting to Sif that no matter what she wanted to do, she couldn't do it without strength and foundation.

Some words can't be said directly. Thinking of the video of analyzing officialdom frame by frame before crossing, he knew the measure of speaking very well.

It seemed that he said something, but it seemed that he didn't say anything.

If you are intentional, you will definitely understand. If you are unintentional, there is no grammatical error in this sentence.

Sif did "understand".

She knew that Roland was reminding her that she couldn't show any flaws now, and she had to have a chance to seize power after the foundation of the three overseas provinces was solid.

Thinking of the operational error that turned Alben into an enemy and completely eliminated the room for maneuver, Sif felt somewhat guilty. She lowered her head and asked softly:

"You will help to the end and won't run away halfway, right?"

Roland's heart skipped a beat.

Good guy, you really have this idea?

After a pause of about three seconds, Roland figured it all out.

Sif and Sylph were both born in the royal family and both embarked on the path of promotion to the noble. The possibility of their coexistence is actually very small.

Unless someone is willing to stay at the ninth level and never make progress.

Roland did not rush to answer, but stared at Sif.

Seeing that Roland was hesitant to speak, Sif looked up in confusion and happened to meet Roland's deep eyes.

She instinctively wanted to escape, but still chose to look bravely.

"Help me, Roland!"

She said firmly.

"Okay, I will advance and retreat with you and never walk alone."

Roland's blood burned.

Damn, be a man!

A delicate girl like Sif can make up her mind, what are you afraid of?

Are you afraid that your whole family will be buried with you after failure? What a joke, he has no family at all.

Sister Lisa? She will probably die with him in battle.

No! He will not fail!

Sif is still confused, but Sif has awakened.

With his assists, he doesn't know how to lose at all.

Keep the champagne, don't open it tonight, wait until you win!

Looking at Roland's eyes full of fighting spirit, Sif also ignited.

The fighting spirit of the ancestors of the Sussex family is burning.

Roland has nothing, but he is so confident, what is she afraid of?

She has the legitimate monarchy recognized by the House of Nobles, owns two private territories of earldoms, has teacher Wald mediating in the cabinet, and is supported by countless subjects in the country.

With Roland's assistance, she doesn't know how to lose at all.

Keep the champagne, don't open it tonight, wait until you win!
