8. The Knights of Albion (XI)
The young man sat at the table with a stiff face.
Not only is his back straight, but his face is also tense.
Dog days stand in a military stance, armed off-road, raising an assault rifle with three bricks and aiming at a target 100 meters away, dodging the accelerating blade wings - plus one doesn't seem to be as nervous as it is now.
Due to being too nervous, the old problem of stomach pain seemed to be faintly showing signs of flare up again, and cold sweat from the corners of his forehead rolled down his cheeks.
Roland will be nervous to this point, and the reason is that he is face-to-face, the girl who makes a fine tea.
Her Royal Highness Minerva, the third princess of Charlemagne's Kingdom, is also wearing the iconic burgundy cloak today, with a small face, crystal skin as white as porcelain, jade-colored eyes showing a strong will, a straight nose bridge, and moist and shiny cherry lips - a beautiful girl who thoroughly interprets what is a "royal bearing", heroically entered the boys' room, and after enjoying afternoon tea with Roland, she pushed Roland to the bed...... It's the hell!!
Let's not talk about the two tin cans behind the princess, the three guards wearing black suits, red ties, and sunglasses behind their backs are enough to make people have a stomachache, which is a tea party, it's a triad conference at all, right?!
Of course, the most sorry thing is to take off all the pants, and the gentlemen who saw this as a result......
Drinking tea with beautiful women should be pleasing to the eye, but in this weird atmosphere, you can only enjoy tension and boredom.
Put the teacup down. After a quarter of an hour of silence, the girl colored, and the humanoid cans bowed before exiting the room with the trio who had received Roland's nod.
Minerva glanced out the window with a slightly twisted gaze, and muttered an opening sentence that Roland couldn't react to.
“...... First of all, I hate you the most. ”
Before Roland could learn anything from it, Minerva continued:
"Thin, lustful, weak, sissy, keeping underage girls, wearing women's clothes, estrus when you meet a beautiful woman with big breasts......"
Hey, is this a door-to-door fault? Let's not talk about who is responsible for wearing women's clothes, and the other accusations are completely beyond the scope of "annoying". It's a pervert who is disqualified in the world, right?
"I'm sorry I'm still alive. ”
I feel from the bottom of my heart that it's good to be alive. You have to use a spit to celebrate and pay back.
"On top of that, you're still a rude. ”
"Rude ......"
This standard deviation in different environments is really impossible to complain about.
Although Yalfheim, who pervades the decadent culture of capitalism, has such a great existence as the "consul", that guy is very easy-going in society outside the army, and does not engage in honor guards when he goes out. High-ranking officials, magnates or peddlers and pawns met Li Lin on the street. Feel free to greet and give advice. Growing up in a place where there was no concept of royal authority at all. Of course, Roland would not be in awe of the Charlemagne royal family, let alone kneel down at the sight of a member of the royal family, and do things like being obedient to the people.
In terms of the social standards of a feudal reactionary system that has shifted to militarism. Roland is a disrespectful and impudent man.
(I wonder how she would react if I were to sing the song that the guy taught me to sing, "There was never a savior, and there were no gods or emperors" here...... )
The boy endured a stomach ache and suppressed this thought, and missed a cannon shot, giving Charlemagne a great opportunity to deliver communism.
"Just sitting at the same table and drinking tea makes me feel unbearable and lowers society's opinion of me. ”
Patience, patience, patience, patience, even if you can't bear it, you have to endure it!
"But even if you are as low-level as a cockroach and as perverted as a fly, you have a few merits. ”
Finally, there are words that are not harmful, but ...... It still sounds uncomfortable.
"A few days ago, Brother Wang's matter ...... Thank you very much. ”
Squirming a little, the girl let out a mosquito-like murmur, if it weren't for the sound insulation in the room that was complete enough, Roland's hearing was good enough, the kind of sound that was not much louder than breathing, God knows who could hear it.
From the position of the princess, this is really a rare thanks.
"No, it's not a ......"
"Another plus!"
Raising the decibels, Roland's response was cut off, and Minerva stood up with his hands on the table and said with an astonishing momentum that almost toppled the table:
"Although I don't want to admit it, you're the top powerhouse among the freshmen!"
"So ......?"
The bad feeling was becoming clearer, and Roland could almost deduce what Minerva had come to him for.
"You will be one of the representatives of the National Academy of Magic and participate in the match against the Albion!"
The petite face flushed with excitement, the emerald pupils did not lose their minds, but at the same time they had a strange enthusiasm, and the tone became as hard as a soldier, and the hazy silhouette was filled with a divine atmosphere under the sunlight filtering through the tulle curtains.
There was no request for consent, no room for negotiation, just a unilateral demand that "this must be done." ”
That is, the royal daughter's order to the common people.
(yes...... She is a princess, a highness...... )
The heartbeat that had begun to accelerate eased, the trouble disappeared from the purple eyes, and after a soft sigh, Roland replied:
"Allow me to flatly decline this invitation. ”
“......”
Completely unable to understand what she had heard, Minerva blinked inexplicably, and after a long moment, she came back to her senses and asked:
"You...... Say what?"
There is still a bit of righteousness and awe-inspiring on the stiff face, but the cracked expression cannot be restored to its original state, but it is even more wolf-like.
For the first time, she was rejected by commoners of the same age who were not members of the royal family or nobles, and the immature princess could not get rid of the shock for a while.
"Your Highness, I have no interest in provoking wars. ”
There is no prevarication such as common people and insufficient class, and Roland speaks his thoughts bluntly.
Either side wins, this game will be the trigger for a new round of strife, and Roland does not want to detonate a huge ammunition depot for the sake of national and personal honor, but is planning to prevent others from doing so.
Minerva didn't know anything about this, she just stared at Roland with an expression of "why rebel against me", and as the shock gradually faded, the fermenting humiliation eroded the girl's heart little by little.
"Spineless!"
Glancing coldly at the young man who got up to see him off, Minerva shook off the reprimand, and left without looking back, the door was rudely opened, and returned to its original position with a loud "bang".
Feeling the more and more unbearable irritability and boredom in his body, Roland stood at the window, silently watching the back of the girl leaving. (To be continued......)
