I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 83 News
After cleaning the room for a while, Roland noticed that the crystal ball in the living room was emitting magical fluctuations. He walked over and activated the crystal ball, and Senior Sister Catherine appeared in the crystal ball.

"I heard, Roland. How's everything going at the big house? How are you feeling there?"

Catherine was particularly gentle today, and also looked a little tired, as if she had been a little annoyed recently.

She said, "For the time being, we can only use Wallace's method to deal with the ballet ghost. Please wait for me for a moment. I will free up my hands to help you solve this problem."

She chatted with Roland for a while, and was relieved to know that Roland was fine.

Ever since their trip to the ruins, Catherine had considered Roland her closest friend. She told herself it was simply because they were comrades who had experienced life and death together. But how this "princess" truly felt about the "little knight" who had saved her from danger so many times was probably something only she knew.

Catherine has been very upset lately.

After returning to her family this time, she discovered that she no longer had any "relatives." The only people around her were Roland and Wallace.

She could only try her best to survive in this declining family like an ordinary heir.

The pressure from the outside world and the pressure from the elders are very great.

The White Queen (the White chess queen) even got involved in the matter.

In recent days, the family elders have been discussing the heir's marriage. The family hopes that Catherine, a "genius," will become the current head of the Night Family. This will allow this increasingly powerful aristocratic faction to once again become a vassal of Alexandra, thus extending the family's lifespan.

To Catherine, this was simply ridiculous!

What made her even more furious was that Catherine found out that the elders were colluding with the Yese Family.

On that day, Catherine had a conflict with the family elders. She took Nar and Anna and killed an elder on the spot. Then she fled to the White Palace and presented the Holy Grail to the 'White Queen'.

There are only a few fourth-level Shining Moon Wizards in the entire East Territory, and the White Queen is one of them.

She is Catherine's current mentor.

After getting the Holy Grail, the White Queen played with it for a while and curiously asked Catherine about her request.

Catherine explained the matter, and the White Queen became furious after hearing it.

In her eyes, Catherine was the descendant of Alexandra's witch brother, and the only direct descendant of Alexandra's generation.

And those elders were outsiders, so they would naturally protect Catherine.

She immediately accepted Catherine as her apprentice, sent people to help Catherine deal with the traitors, and said she would help Catherine regain control of the family.

But she mentioned something to Catherine: the White Queen had a direct descendant, a very outstanding 22-year-old. He was at a similar level to Catherine and was a rising star in the White Chess Academy.

Catherine felt overwhelmed.

In desperation, he could only bring up the agreement between Roland, Alexandra, and the Alaye family.

This excuse temporarily put the White Queen off, but she was still furious.

The Alaye family was a great family a thousand years ago, but now it has declined into the secular world.

Alayeh's bloodline is probably no longer pure. That kid named Roland is probably a Mudblood.

The White Queen was most concerned about bloodline, so she strongly disapproved of this matter. If Roland's performance continued to deteriorate, the White Queen would definitely bring up the matter again.

In a while, her magic power will be awakened, and her realm will have a leap, and she may even enter the realm of a second-level wizard. Then no one will use such things to disgust her anymore.

Therefore, she needed to discuss with Roland and ask him to cooperate with her so as not to expose the matter.

But how should I tell him that I've been telling everyone outside that he's my future husband? And then, I can coordinate with him and shine in the school? For example, get a place in the upcoming school competition?
Alas, Roland probably doesn't even know now that he has inexplicably become his fiancé. I hope he hasn't read the newspaper today.

Catherine naturally did not tell Roland the details of the above matters.

But she contacted Roland today just to talk about this matter.

After chatting absentmindedly with Roland for a while, Catherine asked nervously, "Roland, I, I want to tell you something."

Roland didn't know what the senior wanted to discuss with him, but judging by her hesitant manner, he guessed it was probably something bad. He deliberately put on a stern face and uttered one word: "Speak."

Catherine flushed.

Originally, as Roland's mentor, she was a head above him. She spent her days either making fun of Roland or putting on airs and scolding him.

As a result, now, after just a few days, the offense and defense have changed.

If Roland had spoken to his mentor in such a condescending tone before, the mentor would have turned away from the fireplace and taught him a lesson on respecting teachers.

But now, she felt a little embarrassed in front of Roland.

She hesitated for a long time before she said, "Roland, I might need to borrow your help. I mean, I might need to temporarily borrow your reputation and right to choose a spouse (very quietly)."

Roland already had some guesses, and when he heard this, he immediately understood.

Wallace had secretly told Roland about this before.

The senior student must have intended to keep it a secret from me before, but now it seems that she can’t hide it anymore.

Roland frowned and said, "Senior, even if I disagree, what's the use? You've already told everyone about it!"

Catherine was horrified and asked frantically, "You already know? You, you saw it on the news? The new edition that came out at noon?"

"News? It's all on the news?!"

Roland was completely upset. He had previously thought that since his relationship with Alexandra was not close, not many people would pay attention to him if he ran away.

As a result, now, everything that happened between him and Alexandra's family has been reported in the news!

"You didn't watch the news? Then how did you know about this?" Catherine frowned slightly. She had only told Wallace about this before. Roland couldn't possibly know about it.

Roland naturally couldn't betray Brother Wallace, but his mind was quick.

He said, "Do we still need to watch the news? Everyone in school knows it now! This morning, when Helena and I went to the admissions office, that guy named Benjamin told us everything."

Roland passed the blame to Benjamin.

But the senior sister's focus is not here.

She frowned and pondered Roland's words, her expression gradually darkening. "Who is Helena?"

Roland: “?”

The senior student suddenly revealed a look of realization. She said, "Oh~~ I remember now. Helena, the Helena you saved. Her family background, bloodline, and talent are all top-notch. She's the best among the current generation of heirs of the Baiqi family. In every way, she's very good."

Roland felt a little unhappy when he heard the sarcastic tone in the senior's words, and said, "Not so good, a little clingy."

Catherine was slightly stunned, and then her eyes flashed with anger: "You toad, stop daydreaming. With your family background and status, do people really think highly of you?!"

Roland sighed and said, "Senior, it's no use talking about this now."

Senior Sister Catherine grew increasingly furious as she listened. Her face was now icy, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. She said in a cold tone, "Roland, you'd better explain things clearly to her. Don't delay a good marriage. The news is just gossip, don't take it seriously! If you want to leave the family, I can always free you from Alexandra! I'll also give you a territory!"

Roland's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "Are you serious?"

Catherine's body shook slightly, and she was shaking with anger.

Her face was as cold as ice, but her eyes were as fiery as molten lava. She grinned and said, "Dream on, Roland. No schoolgirl will marry you. You've lost the right to choose your spouse in the academy. No, not just in the academy, you'll never have the right to choose your spouse in your entire life. I'll hold you captive!"

Suddenly, Catherine realized that there was something wrong with what she said, and she was so angry that she smashed the crystal ball with a bang.

Roland knew that his senior sister had gone berserk. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stared at the fireplace, afraid that she would kill him.
