As for the Lord of the Demon Tower, his background is not ordinary.

Romos Jones is the long-serving magic tower master.

Records say he had outlived at least four generations of emperors. No one knows exactly how old he was.

He never appears in social occasions and no one knows what he looks like.

Due to the great contributions made in the war between the Empire and the Demons, the royal family granted the Demon Tower special privileges:

The Magic Tower can even refuse visits from the royal family, and no one can enter the territory of the Magic Tower without the permission of the Magic Tower Master.

Some people say that Romos is a powerful demon because of his long life and inhumanity.

Some people also say that although Romos is strange, he has trained many excellent magicians and is the great magician of the empire.

In "Game of Mediation", Romos is only a story told by the characters and does not appear in the original work.

In short, he is mysterious.

(The plot connects to the analysis of Mrs. Jones's choice)

"Susan was a female knight before she got married, so it makes sense for her to hunt down Mrs. Jones. Marrying someone else before the pregnancy was discovered is indeed a good way to protect you."

Sheen blurted out.

After listening to Sheen's statement, Mrs. Jones smiled and poured new tea into the teapot:

"It was also thanks to my husband being the Lord of the Demon Tower that the unfaithful man didn't investigate further."

Ada took the tea poured by Jones, blew on it a few times, took a few sips, put down the teacup, closed her eyes and said lightly:

"Mom, you're talking about the contract marriage with Dad again."

Contract marriage?

"Hahaha..."

Looking at the curious eyes of the siblings opposite, Mrs. Jones held the teacup in her right hand and covered her face with her left hand and smiled:

“That was more than ten years ago…”

(Memories begin)

Susan's Knights patrolled every street with Nancy's portrait (Mrs. Jones's full name was Nancy Jones) to check for Nancy's whereabouts.

They followed Susan's orders and had to find where Nancy was.

Then kill her!

Young Nancy was wearing a dirty skirt and an inconspicuous plain black cloak, and she fled hastily through the dark forest in the heavy rain. She was pregnant at that time.

“Hahahaha…”

"Susan must not know that I'm pregnant with Alex's child!"

With such a belief, Nancy didn't even dare to stop.

Because, if you get caught, there’s only one way to go: death!

forest.

The Knights were lost.

Nancy ran through the bushes and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.

"Huhuhu..."

Sweat and rain flowed down Nancy's wet hair to her mouth.

She was pale because she hadn't eaten for several days, and she was weak from pregnancy, so she couldn't run.

"There she is!"

Some knights found Nancy dying.

"Must be killed!"

The leading knight drew his sword and was about to swing at Nancy, and Nancy almost thought she was going to die.

But for some reason, Nancy felt as if there was a bright light between them, and then she lost consciousness.

When the bright light faded, the knights were stunned - Nancy was gone!

......

Nancy was ill for several days.

After finally regaining consciousness, she found herself washed, changed into comfortable clothes, and lying on a dry, soft bed.

Although the surrounding lights are dim, the basic temperature is still comfortable.

"I used a cleansing spell on you and didn't look at you directly." A male voice that sounded strange and not gentle, but made people feel at ease rushed into Nancy's ears.

Nancy slowly stood up on the bed with her hands. After making sure that the baby in her belly was okay, she rubbed her eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Are you worried about your child? You're still running around knowing that you're pregnant. Are you dying?"

Romos, his face covered by the magician's robe, pointed at Nanxi's bulging belly.

Nancy thought: Why does this person say such hurtful things?

Seeing Nancy's unhappy face, Romos was a little panicked.

He kept explaining, “Ah… I’m really sorry, I’ve never been so close to a woman before.

"Look at the clothes you took off. Although they are a bit dirty, they should be noble, huh?"

Nancy was once the daughter of a count.

But in order to take the position by force, Susan framed all of Nancy's family members with suitable crimes and had the Knights kill them all.

Nancy was the only one left in the family still on the run.

Nancy felt helpless when she thought of her escape experience. She shook her head:

"If you say so, then so be it. You look like you're watching a show, as if you're laughing at me."

"Heh~ Is this how you treat your savior?"

According to Romos's previous style, he would not chat with strangers for such a long time. But Nancy's appearance made him feel very interesting, so he couldn't help but tease her a little more.

Savior?

Nancy suddenly thought of the light before she lost consciousness:

"You saved me?"

"if not?"

Romos straightened his robe, then sat on a chair beside him, keeping his eyes level with Nancy.

"If you hadn't run into my territory, I wouldn't have known that the nobles would hunt you down... Is there some kind of hatred between you?"

After saying this, Romos heard crying!

!!!

Nancy shed tears when she thought of these days of wandering.

Just because she and Alex had different ideas, he kicked her out and Susan wanted to take her life.

"Ahhh...what's wrong with you? Did what I said make you cry?"

Romos, who had lived a long life but had never been in love, was as panicked as a little boy in his first love. He said this in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

Of course, there is one thing Romos is clear about:

Don't try to reason with someone who is extremely emotional.

So he sat in the chair and waited for Nancy to finish venting.

This took a long time, but Romos didn't show any impatience at all.

When Nancy calmed down a little, Romos handed her a white handkerchief embroidered with lily of the valley:

"Are you feeling better? Have you cried out all the grievances you've suffered?"

Nancy grabbed the handkerchief and slowly wiped her tears:

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to cry again in my life."

Romos felt like he was neither sitting nor standing, so he asked slowly:

"Why are you hunting me down?"

Nancy held them together on her lap, lowered her head and said nothing.

Silence is Cambridge tonight...

Romos spoke slowly:

"This is my territory. No one can hurt you without my permission."

"Your territory?"

"Of course, I have sent away four generations of emperors. Not to mention those who are chasing you, I can also make those who hurt you pay the price."

Romos is still confident in this ability.

Farewell four generations of emperors...

Nancy opened her eyes wide and looked at Romos in surprise:

"You are the Lord of the Demonic Tower? This is the Demonic Tower?"

She was sure she was safe.

"Yes." Romos put his hand into his hat and scratched his head. When his hand came out, it moved the lavender hair on his temples.

"What are you afraid of? Can you tell me?"
