In the Name of the Queen

Not only to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, but also life and death?

A great writer, actually wants to use physical means to resolve disputes?

Roland shrugged, put down his wine glass, passed by Alben, and walked in another direction.

It sounds absurd, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. Since ancient times, there has been no second to literature. Literati are usually friendly with each other, and the scene of tearing faces is really tragic.

Who said that writers don’t like duels?

Who would talk to you if you can kill them with one shot.

After Alben reported two names, he 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 Roland and Alben would reach some shameful deals, but it seems that they were overthinking.

After watching the old actor Alben leave, Roland searched for relevant information in his mind.

Ever since he knew that old Macbeth pretended to be dead, Roland had no good feelings towards this family.

Unless there is a delicious sacrifice, the old bastard will never show up easily, and the death of a few young people in the family will not make him change his plan.

Since someone offered his life, how could he refuse?

Based on the clues provided by Alben and the existing intelligence, Roland quickly locked on the two ninth-level extraordinary people of the Macbeth family.

Finley Macbeth, [Writer].

Carl Vinson Macbeth, [Knight].

If the Macbeth family is challenged by a knight, Roland will choose the musket duel method commonly used by writers, and life and death will be determined by fate.

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

If physical skills cannot win, musket duel under the cover of smoke bombs is the only choice.

If the other party sends a [writer] to challenge, he will choose physical skills without hesitation.

After all, musket duel is a gamble of life, and it is better not to gamble if you can avoid it. His fighting skills can't beat professional knights, so how can he beat a mere [writer]?

Fair?

What a joke.

Having an intelligence advantage and fighting the enemy fairly is a problem of thinking.

He was just a little curious, how would the Macbeth family choose?

After the atmosphere of the dinner was pushed to a climax by the melodious music, the housekeeper walked up to the podium and raised his right hand.

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

The feminine voice of the housekeeper echoed in the hall, and the whole audience was silent.

His voice made Roland a little uncomfortable.

Sussex is a civilized country, and it does not use eunuchs as eunuchs like the Kingdom of Alba in the east of Rodinia.

But it is not realistic for other men to appear in the emperor's court. Where there is buying and selling, there is killing, and torture more cruel than castration has appeared.

Thanks to the highly developed alchemy, the internal affairs department uses alchemical potions to raise orphans from an early age, depriving them of their right to grow.

The housekeeper is such an alchemical eunuch.

After attracting everyone's attention, the housekeeper took the imperial order held by the maid in both hands and read it out in public.

The imperial order was very simple, appointing Roland as the head of the Knights.

Upon hearing this appointment, some cabinet ministers who were still unaware looked at each other in bewilderment.

They did not understand the Queen's arrangement.

The Grand Master seemed to have a high status, but in fact it was dangerous and powerless.

They did not mind this way of entering the ministry.

But the unexpected result made them feel uncomfortable as if they had stepped on empty air when walking up the stairs.

Compared with Roland's entry into the ministry, they were more concerned about Sylph's loss of control.

This Queen could make so many surprises before she ascended the throne, what would happen after she officially ascended 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 was very intimidating.

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

The second-tier elites who were fortunate enough to be invited could not hide their envy.

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

These people have complex feelings towards the great nobles and high officials.

They are both dependent and afraid.

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

This is simply riding fireworks

No, fireworks don’t fly so fast.

This is simply the speed of getting into the queen’s bed!

The rumors that circulated a few days ago were recalled again.

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

If Roland and the queen have no hidden relationship, how could this be.

Just as Roland replaced Sylph and became the focus of the audience, and was surrounded by people to congratulate him, discordant voices came unexpectedly.

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

Everyone looked at the provocateur.

With a height of nearly two meters and a sturdy figure and rough facial features, he looks like a rough man no matter how you look at him. Although he was wearing a formal dress, he looked out of place among the elegant gentlemen and ladies.

Seeing the figure of the provocateur, the people who had just surrounded Roland quietly dispersed.

There was something interesting to watch.

Some people smiled with gloating.

The provocateur was even unwilling to address Roland as "Your Excellency", but used the very general term "Mr." instead.

Even a blind person could see that this was a troublemaker.

Carl Vinson Macbeth, the most famous young talent of the Macbeth family in the contemporary era, was an extraordinary person who embarked on the road of [Knighthood].

He had used his extraordinary abilities to defeat his opponents many times. Many people knew that his special ability was [Unshakable Power], but few people knew how skilled he was in fighting.

He strode to Roland and stood seven or eight meters away, staring at Roland.

Roland was not surprised by the provocation. He smiled and teased:

"Mr. Carl Vinson, you should now call me Your Excellency and apologize to me. I don't talk to uneducated people."

Carl Vinson was choked by Roland's words.

Roland was right. Facing Roland, the leader of the Knights, honorifics must be used in formal occasions.

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

He never expected Roland to be so calm, directly avoiding provocation, and standing on the moral high ground of education to attack him crazily.

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

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

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

Carl Vinson seemed rude, but he was by no means a fool.

His goal was to kill Roland in the duel, not a dispute of will.

Honor duels are about honor, higher than life and death, and the emperor cannot stop it.

If Roland dares to accept, he dares to kill.

Just as everyone was waiting for Roland to accept the apology and start the subsequent plot, Roland shook his head with a sarcastic smile and said slowly:

"Mr. Carl Vinson. A true apology should clearly explain how to offend and why to apologize, and most importantly, it should be sincere, so that it is possible to be forgiven."

"I don't accept perfunctory apologies."
