Chapter 216: 216

Chapter 216 Flaws Shared by Most of the Princesses of Hollevin’s Royal Family

Roland wouldn’t want to go to a place like that again-it was too dirty and smelly .

The two magic spiders were climbing on the walls by the side of the road and had been trailing Antis .

Roland, on the other hand, comforted Mijil, who would most likely have been captured if not for the presence of the defensive Spell Puppet earlier .

However, it was strange that Mijil’s father actually knew that his in-laws had left a house for Mijil .

In addition, Roland felt quite anonyed that it was clear that Mijil’s father was after his own daughter, but on second thought, this meant the middle-aged merchant didn’t really think much of Roland .

He knew it was Roland who had taken Mijil-a Mage who had taken his daughter, a daughter he didn’t want . He had to be grateful to Roland for that, according to sense and reason . However, he had hired Rogues to come and snatch Mijil .

It seemed as if there was no consideration for Roland’s identity or profession at all .

Roland felt sorry for Mijil to have been born to such a father… Roland didn’t know that Mijil wasn’t the middle-aged merchant’s biological daughter .

But it was good that her mother was not bad . As Roland thought about this, he took Mijil’s hand and led her to Kaka’s manor .

The guards switched back to the original two, and when they saw Roland, they opened the door without saying a word . Roland nodded to thank them, and there, at the door, he met the steward of this manor, who brought the two of them outside the door of Kaka’s study .

Knocking lightly on the door, Kaka’s voice came from inside . “Please come in . ”

Pushing the door in, Roland found Kaka bent over his desk studying spell models and asked, “How’s the learning going?”

“It feels almost done . ”

Kaka waved his hand and a blue shield-holding Spell Puppet appeared in front of him, almost identical to the one Roland had summoned, but much smaller .

This was due to Kaka’s lack of magic power .

Just summoning this Spell Puppet had almost left him without mana .

After catching his breath, he stood up and said, “I plan to turn in this spell model at the Association’s headquarters tomorrow . ” “Don’t you want to be more skilled at it before doing so?” Roland asked .

Kaka shook his head and smiled bitterly . “In five more days at the most, I’ll be leaving the city, so I can’t put it off any longer, and after turning it over to the headquarters, It’s also going to take at least two days or so for the judging period . If it drags on, it will have to be issued . ”

In that case, it really couldn’t wait any longer .

“Then I’ll start by wishing you success . ”

Kaka smiled . “Thank you… By the way, have you found any clues about the queen?”

“Just found a dress, a silk gown . ” Roland shrugged .

“Then it looks like the queen’s done for,” Kaka said rather regretfully .

“Are you so sure?”

“Her clothes were stripped,” Kaka said helplessly . “The queen is very pretty, and if I were alone with her, I would most likely get some ideas . ”

Roland was a little surprised . “Is she really so pretty-how does she compare to Princess Evelyn?”

“Each has her own charm, but the queen’s more elegant . ” Kaka showed a yearning look . “At a glance, she’s the kind of woman that makes you lose yourself . ”

It seemed that Kaka liked mature women, and Princess Evelyn looked a little too immature .

Roland came to this conclusion as he sat and said, “Do you know a relatively safer place?” “Hmm? Are you in trouble?” “It’s not me, it’s this little girl . ”

Roland stroked Mijil’s head and told him what happened . “I still have to investigate the queen’s affairs and can’t quite focus on her . The Guild of Rogues is here and I have a feeling the Shadow Assassins Guild isn’t far away, so…”

When Mijil heard this, she looked at Roland with some concern .

Kaka contemplated for a moment, then said, “There’s no way I can help you . You’re an outsider and you don’t know your way around, so I don’t think there are many people you can trust . But if it’s somewhere safe, I do know of one, but it might be a bit of a problem . ”

Roland leaned forward . “Oh, how so?”

“Princess Evelyn is almost old enough to get married, that’s why she went to live in the city of Isnas for a while,” Kaka explained . “The royal family has three other princesses living in the city . One of them, Veronica, doesn’t live in the palace and has her own manor and a private army . ”

Roland frowned . “And so?”

“Princess Veronica is a Warrior… she doesn’t think much of Mages—she thinks we’re too weak . ” Kaka chuckled . “But she is quite an interesting person . If a Mage asks her for help with a job, she would have the Mage duel her, and if the Mage wins without using offensive magic, she’ll be willing to help with anything . ” “Willing to help with anything?” “Right!” Kaka smiled in an obscene way that all men understood . “Including that sort of thing, let alone just fostering a little girl . But until now, no Mage has ever been able to beat her without using offensive magic . It is an impossible thing to begin with-how could a Mage fight a warrior hand-to-hand and win . ”

Roland nodded . “I can try . ”

“I think you can give it a try too . ” Kaka pointed at the blue puppet in front of him . “As long as you summon a few more of these puppets, you should have a bit of a chance of winning . ”

After thanking Kaka for his advice, Roland took Mijil and followed Kaka’s instructions to a manor .

Compared to Kaka’s manor, the manor in front of him was not only much larger but also had a much more diverse landscape of plants .

When the guards at the entrance saw Roland, their eyes became vigilant .

Roland walked over and said through the iron fence, “Please tell Princess Veronica that I have come to challenge her . ”

After a brief silence, these guards almost burst out in laughter as they looked at Roland’s thin arms and legs .

Still, one of the men ran in, and before long he came out again, pulled open the iron fence, and led Roland and Mijil inside . Skirting a grove of trees that obscured his view, Roland reached the front courtyard and found a circle of soldiers already standing there, and a table and some chairs .

A young girl in white close-fitting plain clothes sat on a chair and looked at Roland with a smile .

Mijil was a little scared . Roland took her hand, walked over, nodded slightly and said, “Princess Veronica, it’s nice to meet you . ”

The young girl stood up . She had blonde hair, tied in a ponytail, and her eyes were a rare blood-red color, like a ruby, clear and transparent . She was extremely beautiful .

She looked Roland up and down, smiled, and asked, “Before the duel, I would like to ask, what is the prize you want?”

“Help me take care of this little girl for a while . ” Roland patted the little girl’s head .

The young woman looked surprised . “That’s it?”

“That’s it . ”

“I thought you wanted to sleep with me like the other male Mages . ” With a very innocent expression, Princess Veronica said something that tickled the mind . “Even the Archmage Tobian dueled me, and his condition was that he wanted me to sleep with him for a few days . I ended up almost beating his nose off . ”

Only then did Roland begin to study Princess Veronica, and then he shook his head lightly .

Too flat-he didn’t like it .

Veronica, for no apparent reason, developed a feeling of discomfort .

She wanted to break the nose of the man in front of her .
