519 You don't have a big picture
The Duke is the title of nobleman with the highest status except the royal family.
And it seems to be to express one's sincerity and determination, Stefanie continued: "Of course, it is not the kind of noble who only has titles and no real power. At that time, I will give you one-third of my territory and give you all rights to the Grand Duke, such as the basic right to conscription, the basic right to legal autonomy in the territory, and even the right to start a war."
This is already pure lord treatment.
With the title of Grand Duke, as long as Roland is not capable of being too poor, he is also a rising star in the upper aristocratic class of Francis.
The kind that is so bright that it turns purple.
Normally, as long as you are young people, no one will refuse such a gift.
Even members of the royal family would probably be ecstatic when encountering this, and then they would fall to the ground and call her Majesty the Queen.
However, Roland was not very interested.
It’s not that I have no interest at all, I’m a little moved.
After all, the conditions given by Stefanie are really good.
But... after seeing the floating city of Demon Duncan, Roland was less interested in the territory on the ground.
No matter how big your land is, it is fixed in one place.
Can there be a floating city to come and go freely?
No matter how high a noble person sits, he will be the title of a king or queen.
Still a vulgar person.
But as long as a floating city is built, even if it is smaller, the meaning will be different.
It has developed in an extraordinary direction.
So, Roland was indeed a little excited, but still didn't care.
Andonara knew Roland so well that when she heard Stefanie's words, she smiled and said, "Your conditions are useful to others, but they have no effect on him. It is better for you to promise him a big library than you use these snobs to seduce him."
"Just know?" Stefanie leaned against Andonara, her body still lacked much strength: "You don't like the power Roland, what about the beauty?"
Andonara was displeased: "What do you mean?"
Stefanie reacted very quickly, and she immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm just testing him for you."
"Don't do that." Andonara stopped and looked at Stefanie very seriously: "Human nature cannot stand the test, do you understand?"
When she spoke, her eyes were faint and even a little murderous intent.
Stefanie felt a little cold in her heart, and she nodded immediately.
Seeing her admit defeat, Andonara was quite satisfied and said, "We are good friends, this is Delbon City, I am the hostess here, don't worry, you will be safe and happy to stay here."
Stefanie didn't comment.
The Francis people have more or less a complex of "world center". In their opinion, except for Francis, other human countries are barbarians, and only the elves can be slightly stronger than them.
Stefanie has no interest in the small country of Holevin and the small town of Delbon.
However, there is no problem in avoiding the shelter here.
Stefanie leaned against Andonara and walked slowly forward. At the same time, she asked Roland: "You have been reluctant to show me the secret performance of the multi-person teleportation array, but now you are willing. You also said about investment. What deal do you want to reach with me?"
"Because I suddenly feel that you are a good choice for me to become a queen." Roland smiled and said, "You, the princess' underground library, already have a good collection of books. Then, the royal library, which is as famous as the Guangming Library, should have a lot of good books. It is said that the place is only open to royal members. If you become a queen, you should be able to let me go in and read it for a long time, right?"
"So you exposed the secret of multiple teleporting magic circles!" Stefanie looked at Roland in disbelief: "Do you know what this secret means?"
Roland nodded: "I think I should know the importance of transportation making profits better than you, and the significance of smooth traffic to war strategy. Although you are the queen, in addition to etiquette education and human nature education, I should be better than you in other comprehensive qualities."
Roland was very confident in saying this.
As he said, except for the twists and turns of the upper class, Roland, who has been systematically cultivated for nearly twenty years, is completely better than the big princess of Stefanie, both in terms of knowledge from a wide angle of knowledge and depth.
Stefanie did not refute, she frowned: "Then why do you still expose it? Just for some books?"
"Just for books." Roland nodded: "The amount of knowledge determines the mage's growth limit."
"I can give you territory or let you go to the library, it's not a conflict."
"But with territory, I don't have so much time to study." At this time, they had already walked outside Delbon City, and the magic tower that could be seen from afar inside the walls of his city: "I also have my own power, but I found that just maintaining such a small organization would take up a lot of my study time, and have another piece of territory. With the status of the Grand Duke and the position is high and the power, even if I don't care about anything, I will still come to you."
Stefanie glanced at Roland deeply and did not persuade him again.
This is not because she gave up, but because she put the problem aside for the time being.
A young magician who can ‘draw’ a multi-person teleportation array is worth spending a lot of energy and time to show kindness and win over.
The three of them returned to the manor in Delbon.
Vivian, who received the news, rushed from the Magic Tower, then hugged Roland hard, and refused to let go.
Andonara gave them both space to be alone very considerately.
After all, Andonara has been with Roland for a while.
In contrast, Vivian not only had to stay in Delbon City, but also had to manage all matters in the Magic Tower and the Magic School.
Although Vivian had no complaints about this and was even a little happy about it, she was still a girl under 20 years old. She still felt empty after not meeting her lover for so long.
The two were alone all night, and then the next day, Vivian continued to handle the affairs of the Magic Tower with a radiant look.
Roland was a little tired and slept until almost noon before getting up from the bed.
When I arrived at the living room, I found Andonara and Stefanie had finished eating.
As soon as Roland sat down, Stefanie said, "It seems that you are not too hardworking."
Roland smiled and didn't say anything.
Who doesn't have a time to rest?
Roland understands the principle of combining work and rest.
But quarreling with women over these trivial matters is meaningless. Whatever she likes to say is what she wants to say.
Andonara turned back to the kitchen and took out the fried egg and a glass of milk that she had left for Roland.
Seeing Roland ignore him, Stefanie frowned and asked, "How long are you going to let me stay here and when will I send me back!"
Roland took a sip of warm milk: "Let's talk until Shuke and I figured out the matter."
Stefanie looked unhappy: "Are you under house arrest?"
Roland put down the cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "You are under house arrest? Your Highness, the eldest princess, although we know each other and are acquaintances, you are so suspicious that it is really difficult for us to get harmonious."
"But you don't say when you will let me go back to the royal city. This is not a house arrest, but what are you doing!"
Roland sighed: "I thought you were a princess and had been in the upper aristocratic class for many years. You should be quite smart. As a result, you are only smart, but you don't see the situation clearly at all?"
This is a bit ridiculous.
After hearing this, Stefanie was extremely angry and her face became much darker.
But she didn't have an attack, but just asked with anger, "What do you mean?"
"At this matter, only three parties are involved in it now." Roland explained helplessly: "Royal, Temple of Light, and Magic Society."
Stefanie yelled: "Who doesn't know this?"
"But you don't understand the attitude of these three families." Roland cut the fried eggs on the plate into three parts and pushed one of them in the direction of Stefanie: "You represent the royal family, I represent the Magic Society, and Shuk represents the Temple of Light."
Stefanie really wants to say that anyone can understand this, and you still want nonsense?
But she decided to listen patiently and see what Roland had to say.
"In theory, most people can imagine how strong these three families are. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they should be found. But they just don't investigate and only push the three of us to do things!" The knife in Roland's hand directly cut the fried egg into dozens of portions: "Shuke and I are both sons of gold and will not die, so there is no problem with us doing things. I personally think that the Magic Association has the idea of cultivating me and letting me do things independently, and the same goes for Shuke. Their pope agreed to Shuke's idea of forming an investigation team, but no longer helps. Isn't this obvious? As for you..."
Stefanie understood what Roland meant.
Then my whole body felt chills.
Sometimes there are blind spots in vision and ideas, and you cannot change your ideas, just because you are the one in the game.
Stefanie now understood that Roland and Shuke were just out to "play", and they were the only ones who were fighting hard.
Only you are being tested and watched!
"So, the real danger is you. The nobles in the whole royal city want to see you, you are always the only one who wants to see, depending on your ability to do things, your communication skills, your 'luck', and whether you are qualified to be a queen." Roland finished eating the fried egg and said slowly: "So, the nobles are all watching, the Temple of Light is watching, and even the magic association, which has died, is watching."
Cold sweat emerged from Stefanie's forehead, and each grain was the size of a soybean.
She seemed to see three illusory giants staring at her in the sky of this world.
Every giant has a scrutiny look in his eyes.
It's like looking at the chopping board, struggling desperately, trying to escape.
Among the three superpowers, the Temple of Light and the Magic Association's "Two Supers" have chosen the future "core" characters of their own power.
Only my eldest princess has not even completed the exam.
