In the Name of the Queen

"Alina, Alina? What's wrong with you?"

Roland frowned slightly, looking at Alina with concern, who was already desperate and had a blank look in her eyes, and asked tentatively.

He didn't dare to grab Alina and shake her hard, for fear of shaking down her last psychological defense.

When a normal person says something obviously abnormal, her mental state must be very bad.

Perhaps because he, the person involved, was also at the scene, the backlash of peeping into fate was not strong, and it was easy to prevent it, and there was no need to activate the divine protection skill that had just cooled down.

It stands to reason that the divination effect is very good, but Alina seemed to see a ghost.

What did she see?

Alina stared at Roland blankly, and countless past events gathered in front of her.

Just as Roland was thinking about how to calm her restlessness, she suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Roland's arms fiercely. Her eyes became even more empty, and she murmured almost like a dream:

"Use your most crazy means to possess me, now."

Roland: "."

If he had only suspected it before, he could now confirm that Miss Alina was probably crazy.

She was the proud leader of the Golden Kite Kingdom, and she was only one crown away from becoming the queen. She could actually say such outrageous words, which seemed to have been greatly stimulated.

It was indeed a pity that she was still an unopened girl at the end of the world, but she was not desperate now, right?

Roland wanted to calm her down, but he could not find any reason in Alina's eyes.

Obviously, if he wanted to comfort Alina who had fallen into madness, he could only use ruthless tricks.

Of course, he didn't want to possess her, because that would only deteriorate the friendship, and she would not be friends after she woke up.

It had to be even more ruthless.

He sighed, and with his palm like a knife, he fiercely chopped her neck, and then he clamped his backhand around her swan-like white and smooth neck, and used a perfect naked strangle to help Alina fall into a baby-like sleep within five seconds.

No matter how many troubles there are, a good night's sleep can probably relieve them.

If a good night's sleep can't relieve them, other methods probably won't work.

Grabbing Alina, who fell softly into his arms, Roland carried her into the bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and went out alone.

The maid who was responsible for taking care of Alina's food and daily life heard the noise here, and when she came to check, she was about to draw her weapon, and she had already recognized Roland's identity.

The maid was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Roland appeared here, but the voice from the depths of her consciousness reminded her that the person in front of her had no ill intentions.

Roland also recognized the puppet maid.

He had seen this maid when he first went to Alina's house.

"Prepare red wine and dinner. I'll have a few drinks with Alina when she wakes up."

Sleep can calm people's emotions, alcohol can help people tell the truth, and steak can replenish energy after venting emotions.

He has always been the most considerate and good partner.

But he still underestimated the power of being mentally stimulated and sent to sleep by naked choke.

It was indeed dinner, but it was the next night.

The next day, Alina, who had slept all day, finally woke up from her sleep.

She struggled to get up, her limp body had no strength, and her memory before falling asleep was as vague as her previous life.

Just when she was confused, she saw a faint candlelight in the next room.

She struggled to support her body and walked towards the door. She saw that the incubator boxes of delicious food in the room outside were filled with the dining table, and there were delicate candlesticks on the table emitting soft light.

In the slightly yellow candlelight, Roland's back was just at the junction of light and darkness. Alina tried to open her eyes, but still couldn't see clearly.

She came to Roland like a sleepwalker, watching Roland open the lid of the insulated box, stand up and make an invitation gesture.

"Dear Miss Alina, please."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Alina's cheeks flushed slightly, and she regained some vitality.

The word dear is very common in the Golden Kite Country. Even ordinary friends can call each other my dear friend, but in the Sussex Empire, it is limited to lovers.

Roland is not a Golden Kite, so it is naturally not the Golden Kite usage.

This is clearly a tease, at least a tease!

Alina's expression was a little unnatural, but she still sat down opposite.

She was really hungry. The tempting fragrance of the tender steak and foie gras made her unable to correct Roland's mistake in the wording.

Picking up the veal and putting it into her mouth, trying to control the extent of chewing, Alina rarely accomplished both elegance and high-speed eating at the same time.

Her graceful posture made Roland amazed.

Alina ate the steak in front of her and found that Roland was looking at her. She pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at the food." Roland was honest.

Of course, the food he was talking about was not steak, but a more tender and juicy beautiful girl.

Alina heard the hidden meaning of Roland's words, and she was three parts angry but seven parts shy. Her voice trembled slightly, and she reminded softly: "Does your wife know that you are so romantic outside?"

"Miss Alina, this is your request, have you forgotten?" Roland teased softly.

Alina was a little confused, and her originally vague memory gradually became clear.

Thinking of the nonsense she talked about in despair, the knife and fork in her hand slipped gently, making a crisp sound.

It's over, she was talking nonsense, but Roland took it seriously, what should I do?

Her mind was blank, and she was dumbfounded.

Eating is fun, but being treated as food is not a good feeling.

Although she had thought of using herself as a part of the transaction to seduce Roland when she was desperate, and she had also talked nonsense when she was demented, she was still flustered when the time came.

She had never even enjoyed the beauty of love.

Roland was certainly an ideal partner, but he already had Sylph, and she didn't want to be an extramarital lover who destroyed other people's families.

She didn't reject Roland in her heart, but the family education she received since childhood did not allow her to do so.

Looking at Alina's distracted eyes, Roland's lips slightly raised.

He guessed right, Alina was indeed talking nonsense after a major blow.

He didn't intend to take advantage of her.

He just created an atmosphere to make Alina feel that he was going to do this, and then.

People are always willing to compromise. If Alina were asked to tell the truth directly, she might still struggle, but if she was asked to sleep with him now, she should consider how to use appropriate words to describe the results of the divination.

The Golden Kite people also like to compromise.

Seeing Alina's eyes gradually converge, Roland felt a little scared.

Would this guy really fulfill his promise?

That's enough, he is a married man, and the joke is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no way to end it in the end.

He coughed lightly and said seriously: "Alina, I know you saw something terrible. Let's face it together. Under the soul-blood connection, our fate has long been tied together. I have the right to know!"

Alina exclaimed in surprise, slowly raised her head, looked at Roland's clear eyes, and instantly understood that Roland had never thought of taking advantage of others, but just wanted to know the truth.

Seeing Roland so gentlemanly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart finally let go.

In addition to being relieved, she was inexplicably annoyed.

My appearance and figure are so unbearable, am I not worthy of you taking advantage of others and having evil thoughts?

She was inexplicably angry, and then a beautiful face that made her even angrier slowly emerged in front of her.

Queen Sylph was placed in the void, quietly looking at her, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

The anger in Alina's heart disappeared.

Yes, his wife is Sylph, the monster who can compete with the elf royal family of the ancient era for female charm.

Thinking of Sylph, Alina's mentality was much calmer.

Just like it's not shameful to be unable to beat Sophia, it's also easy to accept losing to Sylph in a charm contest.

When she looked up again, her expression had returned to calm.

Seeing her sudden change, Roland shrugged and reaffirmed his original idea.

Don't guess what a girl is thinking, you really can't guess it.

After all these twists and turns, Alina also had a full meal and calmed down, and finally she could start the storytelling session.

She thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

"I saw Sophia ascend to the gods." Although a whole day had passed, Alina's voice was still trembling slightly.

When a true god appeared in the mortal world, what would be the fate of her enemies?

As people who openly confronted Sophia, Roland and her were probably mantises that blocked the wheel of history from rolling forward.

Foolish and overestimating one's own abilities.

Roland's expression was not too surprising.

It must be a very shocking scene to scare Alina to the point of losing her mind and even wanting to find a man who looks pleasing to the eye to end her girlhood.

But he didn't expect it to be so shocking.

Sophia ascends to the gods.

Even if this is true, it doesn't mean that he can't do it.

The last time they ascended to the gods, the three goddesses of light, abundance, and nature appeared. In the final era of this era, it is reasonable to have more people deified.

Seeing Roland's calm attitude, Alina was shocked and couldn't close her mouth. Her pink lips opened and closed slightly, which made her less sad and more cute, making Roland feel a little hungry.

Although Alina can't be compared with Sylph, she is also an existence standing at the peak of the world's charm, and she has her own flavor.

Perhaps it was because of the prophecy of Sophia's ascension to the gods that Roland was still stubborn, but he felt a little suffocated in his heart, just like Alina yesterday.

If she succeeded in ascending to the gods, wouldn't her enemies become stepping stones?

Roland was also thinking about how to die decently and how to leave no regrets at the last moment of his life. Perhaps Alina's idea was not crazy, but normal?

It was not that he was not mentally strong enough, but Alina's prediction was too depressing.

He asked unwillingly: "In your prediction, what will be our ending?"

Alina shook her head blankly.

"It's come to this point. What can't be said? I can bear it."

Roland smiled calmly, thinking about what words to use to offset Alina's defeatist negative emotions.

If Sophia really ascended to the gods, Alina's predictions would include both new gods and those whose fates were unpredictable. It would be a miracle if it was accurate.

Alina sighed and said faintly: "I didn't see our future, so we didn't."

"So we may not fail."

Roland cut off her defeatist argument, raised his finger firmly, and retorted:

"Alina, the divination result was tampered with."

"Why?"

"Your divination objects include me and Sophia. According to common sense, the backlash can kill us directly."

Alina's eyes lit up.

She was really deceived.

When she predicted the backlash, she only considered Roland, so she determined that she would not be killed by the backlash.

If Sophia really appeared, even if a few more people were connected to the soul and blood, they would be taken away in one wave.

"I'm so stupid. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been desperate."

Alina smiled and shook her head, muttering self-deprecatingly: "People who shouldn't appear in the prophecy appear, so the prophecy is naturally false. It seems that a powerful being interferes with the prophecy."

"And this powerful being doesn't want us to face Sophia in the best condition."

Roland took over Alina's words and said with a smile: "In other words, our chances of winning may not be high, but they are definitely not zero."

Alina's eyes instantly became hot.

"It's great to have you here. If it were just me, I would definitely be deceived."

"You are confused by the authorities, but I am a bystander." Roland likes to listen to Alina's flattery, but he is still very humble.

"Although bystanders can see clearly, most others can't see through it." Alina really didn't flatter, at least she probably couldn't do it.

She couldn't do it, and the short-sighted guys in the officialdom of Jinyuan Country couldn't see through it.

If our Jinyuan Country had a wise man like Roland.

Alina suddenly shuddered, stood up excitedly, and found the blind spot.

In order to accurately divine, she asked Roland many questions, including the real reason why Roland and the Sif Empire were touring.

Roland did not hide anything.

Their lives were linked together, and they had long been passengers on the same ship. Apart from their identity as time travelers, why should they hide other things?

Alina tentatively proposed: "Roland, are you interested in coming to our country for a lecture tour and serving as our temporary prime minister?"

"Ah?" Roland was stunned.

Of course, there is no problem with the lecture tour. It will only benefit him to spread knowledge in the Golden Kite Country. Serving as prime minister can also increase the control over the Golden Kite Country, which is also a good thing.

But he is a foreigner after all, can he do it?

"Is this appropriate?"

Seeing that Roland did not refuse, but just shirked, Alina couldn't help laughing.

"Appropriate, too appropriate! There is a legend in our Golden Kite Country that only the Golden Kite Country led by foreigners and women is the real Golden Kite Country."

"You are a foreigner, I am a woman, so."

Seeing Alina almost rushing over, Roland knew that it would be hypocritical to refuse again.

This is a mutually beneficial thing, so why refuse it.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with Sif and find a suitable time."

Alina couldn't help but give Roland a disdainful look, "Don't discuss it, the whole world knows that Sif only listens to you, why are you pretending. Besides, do we have a lot of time?"

Roland didn't like the first half of Alina's words, but the second half was the truth.

Time is their biggest enemy.

"Okay."

"Let's go, I can't wait, we'll set off now and return to Xidai within three days. I will choose a piece of temporarily unowned fiefdom for you, and you will be the Count of Leon. In this way, no one will dare to jump out and oppose you as prime minister."

Before he could react, his hand was grabbed by Alina fiercely, as if he was afraid that he would run away immediately.

Roland smiled and shook his head, "No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for me to write a letter to my family. Besides, if you make me an earl directly, what will other people think?"

"Well, we will set off tomorrow. I will send someone to deliver the letter."

Alina smiled like a flower, looking at the gradually dimming candlelight and Roland, who was emitting a soft light like a pearl in the dim candlelight, and she was in a particularly good mood.

Facing Roland's last doubts, she whispered: "I have my own way to shut others up. No one knows Jin Yuan better than me. You should think about how to be a good prime minister."

From despair to hope, it only takes one day.

Who dares to say that Roland can't create miracles?

No matter how powerful Sophia is, she is still a flesh and blood body. At the same level, even if she is invincible, she can't compete with the four people connected by the soul and blood link.

The sacred link allows us to be together in flesh and blood, and in soul.

There is nothing to be afraid of, go!

That night, Alina was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

Roland was worried about how to explain to Sif.

He knew that Sif was considerate and would understand him, so he felt even more guilty.

He had agreed to visit a friend when he left, but he had to go to another country to give lectures and serve as an official after leaving. The difference was really big.

After thinking about it, he could only be sincere.

He did not hide anything from Alina's prophecy to the whole process of uncovering the false prophecy.

In order to protect Alina's dignity, Roland was very considerate and did not mention a word about her madness.

It was not concealment, but it was better not to say anything that was not conducive to unity.

The morning light awakened the snow mountain.

Everything was the same, only the snow mountain after the avalanche seemed to be telling something.

The letter was tied to the leg of the carrier pigeon and flew north all the way to the Queen's palace.

Roland and Alina rode on a handsome white horse and went north all the way. They changed their mounts in several important cities along the way. The horsemen did not stop and rushed back to Xidai in just two days and two nights.

At the Palace of Cité, Alina arranged several maids to help Roland take a bath and rest, and called Lomio before she had time to catch her breath.

After hearing Alina's arrangement, Lomio wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Looking at his tangled expression, Alina could probably guess what he was thinking, and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you have any objections?"

"Of course not. Governor Roland has proved his ability to govern the country in the Sussex Empire, and he will definitely be able to do it."

Lomio knew very well that Alina had made a decision, and direct opposition at this time would only make her feel disgusted and even rebellious.

He could only follow Alina's wishes and then find a way to find the hidden dangers.

Hearing Lomio's affirmation, Alina's cold face became a little warmer.

"Lomio, please pay attention to your title. From now on, you must call him Count or Prime Minister. Don't let others laugh at our Golden Kite people's hospitality."

Romio groaned inwardly.

Earl and Prime Minister, coupled with your absolute trust, this guest has more power than the host. Is he really a guest?

He had witnessed Alina's growth process, knew this guy's rebellious psychology, and knew that direct advice would only make her more determined, so he had to take a detour and ask:

"Alina, have you ever thought about others' criticism?"

"The noisy sparrows will not affect the growth of the wheat seedlings." Alina responded with a well-known golden kite proverb.

"I won't talk about it, and they won't dare question your decision directly, but there will definitely be rumors flying around."

"What rumors?" Alina asked casually without changing her expression.

Lomio bit his lip, hesitated again and again, and finally chose to remind him bluntly.

"Do you remember the scandal between Roland and Queen Sylph? Back then, he assisted the queen who had not yet taken power, which caused countless rumors. We Golden Kite people love gossip and gossip as much as they do."

Alina snorted disapprovingly, and her disgusted eyes were filled with disdain: "It's not that I'm not inferior to them, but it's more exaggerated."

"It's good that you know, so how do you plan to refute the rumors?"

"Why do you want to refute the rumors?"

Alina sneered: "I won't give them a chance to spread rumors at all. Rumors stop with wise men, but they can also start with wise men."

"They don't need to guess. I can write a few rumors myself and submit them for publication, and I can still earn some royalties."

Lomio looked at Alina dumbfounded, and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Is this the reverse therapy of fighting fire with fire?

His brain was running so fast that he was almost on the verge of shutting down and couldn't figure it out.

Alina didn't bother to explain to him and waved her hand to interrupt the conversation.

Romio wanted to persuade him again, but Alina cut him off in advance: "My future and destiny are inseparable from Roland's, so there is no need to say anything more."

Lomio left angrily.

He sighed, thinking of a terrifying possibility.

If the person involved personally spreads the rumor, is it still a rumor?
