In the Name of the Queen

Sitting on the carriage heading to the Queen's Palace, Lisa frowned, unable to conceal her anxiety.

She hasn't received a letter from Roland for more than a month.

This is not normal.

Even if Roland is very busy, he will at least write a simple letter to say that he is safe.

What is he so busy with that he doesn't even bother to write a letter?

If she just didn't write to her, Lisa would just laugh at herself, but I heard that Roland didn't write to Queen Sylph in more than a month.

Roland and Sif have only been in a relationship for a long time, so why are they so estranged like an old couple who have been married for many years?

Lisa was really flustered.

Although Roland made an engagement with Sif so that she could drink away her sorrows to calm down the turmoil in her heart, she knew that this was part of the plan.

Only if Sif accepts Roland first can she accept her inseparability from Roland.

However, things seem to have changed recently.

She didn't know whether it was a plan or an accident that Roland went to Jin Yuan Kingdom to help, but Roland's current situation must have been an accident.

Lisa, who was annoyed because she encountered a bottleneck in her magic practice, simply walked out of the laboratory and came to Sylph to discuss countermeasures.

Unknowingly, she had put herself and Sif on the same side.

Sif didn't seem surprised when Lisa stood in the doorway.

She stood up to greet Lisa, asked the maid to bring her tea and snacks, and invited her to sit down.

"Miss Lisa, long time no see. How are you at the Magic Association?"

It’s been a long time indeed.

They haven't seen each other for almost two months.

Although Lisa was anxious, she still kept smiling and said, "Thanks to your Majesty, I'm fine."

Before Lisa could continue, Sif interrupted softly: "It's Sif, not Your Majesty."

The corners of Lisa's lips raised slightly, and her originally depressed mood got a little better.

Although it was for Roland's sake, Sif was indeed willing to treat her as a basic equal.

This was a good start, and she certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, Miss Sif, I'm fine, but you look a little busy."

The pile of documents before Sif didn't lie.

"It's okay. Most of the work has been done by the cabinet. I'm just responsible for signing. It's just that the recent matter of forming a coalition with Jin Yuan Kingdom is a bit complicated, so I have to worry about it."

Sif casually drew a circle on a document and put it aside.

Drawing a circle is a signature method she learned from Roland.

The first is that the signing speed is fast, and the second is that drawing circles is also an attitude.

If she is very satisfied with the solution to some matters, she will give positive affirmations such as "I have read it, please implement it immediately".

There are also some things that Sif has her own ideas about, and she will write words like "Read it, recommend XX, please consider as appropriate" on the document.

The word "please" is a sign of respect for the cabinet minister, not a real invitation. If the emperor asks you to do something, you'd better do it immediately.

If someone is indifferent, they will face Sif's questioning next.

Fortunately, there are no such ignorant people in the cabinet.

There is also a kind of approval but not full approval, and because of professionalism and unable to provide constructive suggestions, the cabinet ministers are reminded to consider carefully by circle reading.

The circled documents can be processed directly according to the content of the document, or can be slightly modified. The circle Sif drew was to hand over the initiative to the cabinet and let them decide what to do.

After circling the document, Sif rang the bell to call the Secretary of State and asked her to take the approved document back to the cabinet for execution.

Seeing the Secretary of State leave, Sif breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression changed from cold and serious to a smile.

"The government affairs have been dealt with, now it's private time."

Sif sat down opposite Lisa and asked with a smile: "Miss Lisa, because of Roland, we will be a family from now on. You must have something to come to me about, so you might as well tell me."

Lisa's cheeks turned slightly red at the suggestion of a family, but she knew that Sif must have been talking about her becoming a family as Roland's sister.

"Sif, how are you and Roland getting along recently? I haven't received a letter from him for two months, so I'm a little worried."

Unable to think of any tactful way to break the situation, Lisa simply went straight to the point and cared from her sister's point of view.

"We are fine. But I haven't received a letter from him in more than a month. In the last letter, he just said a few greetings and didn't write much. He is probably really busy."

Thinking of this, the expression on Sif's face changed from sunny to cloudy.

Seeing the change in Sif's expression, Lisa also felt a little depressed.

Damn it, maybe Roland is really addicted to the gentle land of the romantic girl in Jin Yuan Kingdom and can't extricate himself.

Although Sif's charm is unstoppable, men like novelty. Having just tasted the beauty of a woman's gentle embrace, they can't resist the temptation outside.

Not normal at all!

If Roland was really tempted, what would Sif think?

Seeing Sif's panicked eyes, Lisa secretly regretted that maybe she shouldn't come to Sif, but should discuss it with Roland first.

She was surprised to find that in some aspects, she was more willing to stand with Sif than Roland.

Even though they were here, there was no way to turn around and leave, so Lisa had no choice but to come up with Plan B.

"Xif, do you have anything you want to bring to Roland? I want to go to the Golden Kite Kingdom recently, but there is no news about this guy. I have to go and take a look."

Sif didn't speak, just silent.

Seeing that it was none of her business, Lisa became a little anxious and blurted out the words she had been holding in her heart.

"You're really not worried about him being with other women at Jin Yuan's side"

Lisa stopped talking halfway, and she even regretted saying it so directly.

"Go to bed?" Sif asked calmly.

Lisa almost fell to the ground.

This is too direct, it's a bit strange for such a noble queen to say this.

Sif looked at Lisa calmly and asked softly: "Miss Lisa, do you and Roland have it?"

Lisa was stunned for several seconds before she realized what Sif was asking. Her originally pink cheeks instantly turned red, and her tongue almost got knotted in her mouth.

"Sif, what are you talking about? I am Roland's sister. We are neighbors, friends, and family, but not the kind of relationship you think!"

"You are not related by blood."

Sif looked at Lisa calmly and said nonchalantly: "Even if there is, it's nothing. Some royal families have many blood-related marriages to ensure the purity of their bloodline."

"No, absolutely not!"

Lisa answered in a panic, her heart beating violently.

She clearly hadn't crossed the red line with Roland, so why was she so flustered?

"I understand, you like Roland, but you haven't expressed it?" Sif suddenly realized.

Lisa almost fainted. She almost forgot the purpose of coming to Sif. She was dumbfounded and wanted to defend herself, but found that she was not innocent at all.

After hesitating for a few times, Lisa couldn't say a complete sentence after all.

"As long as he likes it, I don't mind."

Sif's voice was very calm, but her words were more explosive than the last.

Lisa looked at Sif blankly.

This was indeed the result she wanted, but when Sif really said it, she still felt absurd.

Why didn't she mind? Roland was Sif's lover, could she really accept it?

Sif motioned Lisa to sit down and said calmly: "Miss Lisa, the environment in which one grows up will shape one's perception of the world."

"In the world that I can see, men of noble status can have many partners, and women of noble status can have many partners if they want. Loyalty is an alternative in marriages of the upper class."

"Thank you for your honesty, Lisa. At least I know that Roland was not as happy as me before me."

Sif's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of smile.

"In return for this loyalty, I allow him to do some less loyal things, such as having a sister who is not related by blood, or having several lovers."

Ah?

Lisa's head was buzzing.

Sif was right. People's growth environment shapes their perception of the world. In her world, although her parents often quarreled, they were loyal to each other, and so were Roland's parents.

This may be the most beautiful side of civilian love.

But not every civilian can be loyal to love. Lisa has also seen many of her parents' peers messing around outside of marriage.

Some people go in and out of pink streets, and some people share the passion of the night with other people's wives.

Lisa was a little confused. What was Sif thinking?

Sif knew the reason why Lisa was confused. She smiled and said:

"Lisa, you are no longer a civilian. You are an important member of the Magic Association and may become the next leader of the Magic Association in the future. Even if not, as Anthony's disciple, you will have a lofty status."

"You should know that love is not everything in life. In other words, the more love occupies in life, the more boring this person's life will be."

"Roland's appearance is my luck, and Roland's favor is my happiness. But in addition to that, I hope to stand on the top of the mountain with him. This is more meaningful than a love affair."

Sif walked to the window, looked at the busy people outside the window, and sighed softly: "If you can't go to the end together, no matter how passionate the love is, it is not perfect."

Sif's cognition of love is very consistent with the mentality of the strong.

For example, Sophia, after being coldly abused by her husband, she certainly didn't think about finding a lover who cared about her, but to freeze her love and become an absolute strong person who was not trapped by love in the process of climbing to the top of the mountain.

Roland is an irreplaceable and important existence in Sif's life, but what is important is not love, but companionship, trust, and growing together.

Looking at Sif's slender back, Lisa suddenly had an illusion that the Sif standing in front of her was no longer the helpless girl waiting for Roland to save her.

Standing at the window, she seemed to blend into the vibrant spring outside the window and become a part of the vitality.

Lisa sighed and smiled helplessly: "You are so open-minded, but it seems that I am a little narrow-minded. It seems that I don't need to go to the Golden Kite Country."

"No, Golden Kite must go, and must go."

Sif turned to look at Lisa and said softly: "I don't want to fall behind Roland, and I don't want anyone to tie Roland's flying wings. Please help me go to Golden Kite to see what caused him to change in the past two months? If it is a bondage, please tell me and I will deal with it."

Sif didn't say how to deal with it, but Lisa probably guessed it.

If someone let Roland indulge in the gentle country, Sif would probably dismantle this illusory dream with her own hands.

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving Sif's approval, Lisa felt much better and even had the leisure to joke.

She exaggeratedly took the order, which made Sif smile a little more.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Lisa seemed to think of something and suddenly asked:

"Sif, can I see the last letter Roland sent you?"

"This?" Sif instinctively wanted to refuse. Although there were not many sweet words, it was a personal letter written by Roland to her after all, and she was not willing to share it with outsiders.

Well, Lisa is not an outsider, just take a look.

With a lot of reluctance, Sif took out an exquisite safe from under the desk, found the key and inserted it into the keyhole.

Seeing her awkward look, Lisa almost couldn't help but smile.

At least half of Sif's coldness just now was fake.

My newly married husband went to a foreign country on business and was surrounded by romantic and passionate girls. It would be strange not to worry.

It seems that Sif is still normal.

After taking Roland's handwritten letter from Sif, Lisa was a little curious, what did this guy write?

The first sentence made Lisa feel a little sad.

The letter to her started with "Sister Lisa", but the letter to Sif started with "Dear baby Sylph". This treatment must be too different.

After reading this letter with sourness in her heart, Lisa bit her lip angrily and couldn't say a word.

What do you call this not written?

The full text has more than a thousand words, only about 300 words are related to work, and the other words are about expressing my longing.

This is not a show of affection, it is clearly a show of affection.

When you have a wife and forget about your sister, is this what it means to be a man?

Seeing Lisa's wonderful expression, Sif was also a little curious, "Miss Lisa, what did Roland write in the letter to you?"

"I didn't write anything, I already burned it."

Seeing Sif's suspicious gaze, Lisa gritted her teeth and put her hand into her pocket, a ball of flame burst out from her palm, and burned the letter she was carrying.

To be fair, as far as her mastery of flame magic is concerned, she has surpassed Anthony. She can burn a letter in her pocket without leaking any heat. She is indeed a hero in burning letters.

It's a pity that Xiu'er opened the door for Xiu'er, and no one appreciated her skillful operation.

Seeing the ashes in Lisa's palm, Sif knew it and didn't ask any more questions.

Elisa was so attached to Roland that there was no way she could burn his letter.

Feeling the remaining warmth of the ashes, any fool would know that it had just been burned.

It was obvious that there was much more content in Roland's letter to her than to Lisa.

After accidentally winning again, Sif was in a good mood.

But Lisa was right across the street, and she could only try hard to hold back her laughter.

Fortunately, she is an old actress and usually won't have performance accidents unless she can't help it.

Seeing Sif struggling to hold back her smile, Lisa felt a little relieved even though she was feeling uncomfortable.

She couldn't compare with Sif in the first place, Sif was Roland's White Moonlight.

The white moonlight that falls into the arms with a gentle smile is unmatched by anyone.

Lisa was a little angry, but couldn't find a way to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to continue reading the letter, trying to find out something from the letter.

Hard work paid off, and she really found it.

"Sif, this letter may be fake."

"What are you talking about? It's fake? This is impossible. The handwriting is obviously Roland's." Sif's eyes gradually narrowed. She would never forgive anyone who dared to use this kind of letter to forge.

"Roland has a few spelling mistakes that others don't know about. Look here, he always misses letters in this word, but not here."

Sif didn't speak, but walked directly to the bookshelf.

Here is the original manuscript of the novel written by Roland himself.

She pulled out one, flipped through it, and found the same words.

Sure enough, the spelling was just as Lisa said.

She continued to read unwillingly, and found this word again with the same spelling mistake.

Obviously, Roland thought this spelling was correct, so he always wrote it that way.

Wrong one consonant does not affect reading, but it does affect mood.

Sif calmly returned the novel manuscript to the bookshelf, came to the desk, picked up a pen, and was about to write something when she found that the pen had been pinched and deformed.

She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Miss Lisa, please leave for Golden Kite immediately and find this person. I will kill her with my own hands."

This was what Lisa was waiting for. She nodded and left quickly.

Watching Lisa leave, Sif's eyes were a little more depressed.

"Roland, where is the real letter? Would you write it like this?"
