Roland thought to himself, it would be strange if I wasn't sad.
Although the eldest and second daughters took the evil path of murdering their parents, they were still his daughters after all.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if he personally ordered the execution of his two daughters.
But such is the fate of the royal family.
There is no Xuanwu Gate in this world, yet there are Xuanwu Gates everywhere.
He didn't say anything, but just held Melanie in his arms and patted her back gently.
No words are needed at this time, just companionship.
Roland's comfort gradually brightened Melanie's originally gloomy mood.
Just as she was hesitating whether to let Roland stay a little longer, a clear voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Oro have arrived. Are you going to go out of the city to greet them?"
Roland wanted to say that they were all from the kingdom and that the Prime Minister could just greet the envoys, but he held back.
The political secretary would not give a reminder for no reason.
He asked in a deep voice: "Who is in the team?"
I guess it must be an important person who takes it so seriously.
"Princess Lily and Princess Lucy are both in the team."
No wonder the political secretary specifically reminded me, it turned out that they were here.
Lily is the crown princess, a special person. The old king's term is about to expire, and Lily is expected to take over within three to five years.
Unlike the prince who was trembling with fear for being deposed, her position was very stable.
Starting this summer, the old king gradually handed over government affairs to her, allowing her to gain experience.
Lily is now almost like the executive vice king, who can take over at any time.
Considering that the old king was in poor health, Lily's visit was basically the king's arrival.
Of course I have to greet him in person.
Roland put on beautiful ceremonial armor and a handsome cloak, and led the Elf Guard out of the city to welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Oro.
He saved Lucy's life and saved Lily's position as crown prince, and he was very kind to them.
After that, Lucy led the army to participate in the war against the goblins, made great sacrifices, and was an important contributor to the victory of the defense war. This time, Lucy was indebted to Roland.
So who owes whom more?
Roland didn't know, and didn't want to know.
He only knew that when friends came to visit, he had to welcome them warmly.
His enthusiasm startled Lily.
Ten miles outside the city was the etiquette standard for welcoming the king. Looking at the handsome elf guards and Roland sitting upright with a sunny smile on his face, she felt a little headache, but she still called Lucy, whispered to her, and asked her to meet Roland first.
There was a hint of surprise in Lucy's eyes, but she still obediently accepted her sister's arrangement and left the main group to meet Roland.
When friends meet, greetings are inevitable.
Roland praised Princess Lucy for becoming more and more beautiful, and Lucy praised Roland for becoming more and more powerful.
After some business flattery, Lucy somewhat embarrassedly conveyed her sister's meaning.
"In short, please lead the team to retreat five miles and meet there formally."
The welcoming guard of honor is ready, and it would be unlucky to retreat at this time. Generally speaking, the host will not accept the guest's request.
But Roland was different. He placed his right hand on his chest, with an elegant smile on his lips, and said softly:
"As you wish, Lucy-sama."
Seeing Roland leading the team back, Lucy was a little confused.
She couldn't understand why her sister was so sure that Roland would retreat five miles.
She couldn't understand why Roland listened to her sister.
Lucy looked depressed.
The adult world is too complicated, she really doesn’t understand it.
Volume 201: City of Freedom: Chapter I will definitely help you!
Melodious music echoed over the city.
The residents of the New Royal City heard a hint of reluctance to part from the soft music.
All good things must come to an end. It's time to say goodbye.
Over the past month, the entire Kingdom of Gracia has been immersed in festive joy, and the carnival has finally come to an end today.
Many years later, the elderly who participated in this month of celebrations still can't help but smile when they recall the passionate years.
They recalled the fragrance of beer, the aroma of ham, the grandeur and solemnity of the founding of the nation, and the elegance and magnificence of the king's wedding.
Everything is so beautiful.
Good things always end quickly, and people have to return to their original life trajectory.
The topic of how much less beautiful the human princess is than the elven queen will never have a conclusion.
There is still a gap between the different races that spans back centuries, and they cannot get too close for the time being, but some things are quietly changing.
The nobles were the first to respond to the king's call and marry girls from other races.
The human noble married the cool and beautiful elf girl, and the elf general took away the lively and cheerful human girl.
This kind of interracial marriage has become a new trend in the royal capital.
There are completely irresponsible and even more unclear statements that officials who take the initiative to promote racial integration will be given priority for promotion.
No one knew where the news came from, but people were surprised to find that the Supervisory Office, which has always implemented the policy of "catching and striking hard at rumormongers", remained silent on this matter.
In the feudal era, most of the people who could become officials were smart people and could naturally sense the mystery.
A large number of human officials gritted their teeth, prepared generous betrothal gifts, and asked their friends for help in finding an elf wife.
However, the demand from humans is strong, but the number of elves is limited, and most of them are unwilling to marry outside the human race, so they have no choice but to turn their eyes to other races in pursuit of progress.
The first to be eliminated in the spare tire war were the dwarves.
Roland had some very apt comments about the dwarf girl.
They have the stereotypical Mongolian faces, the stereotypical Japanese heights, and the bodies of Russian aunties who have entered middle age prematurely.
When a normal person faces a dwarf girl, he cannot say that he keeps his distance, but at least he keeps a distance from her.
Perhaps dwarf men think that a broad and solid body is very safe, a body that is not too tall is more suitable for underground life, and small eyes and a big face are more attractive, but serious humans really cannot appreciate it.
Although a few humans were driven by unknown reasons to marry dwarf girls, most people still declined the offer.
What interested them more was the Fros (dwarfs).
The stature of dwarves is smaller than that of dwarves, but they are not as big as dwarves. They are more like humans that are scaled down in proportion.
Not all dwarfs are dwarfs.
There is a pathological variant among the dwarfs, the giant dwarf.
Dwarfs with gigantism are often over 1.4 meters tall.
It is difficult for them to find suitable partners among the dwarves, but they are very suitable in the eyes of humans.
Although gigantism is a disease, it has little effect on body functions.
The giant dwarfs are a perfect match for the relatively shorter humans.
I don’t know which human warrior started the good start, but more and more humans are marrying dwarf girls.
This is Gracia's current situation after Roland's wedding.
At the grand wedding, Roland claimed that he was going to marry four princesses, and publicly announced that he would hold a wedding for Feng Ling and Sandra.
Everyone supported the king's decision, except the chancellor.
After all, every wedding is expensive.
Fortunately, the second wedding will be held in the traditional style of the elves, which will cost much less than a human wedding, making the bitter-faced Minister of Finance feel a little relieved.
Winter passed and spring came. When the February breeze awakened the land of Gracia, representatives from various countries who came to congratulate them said goodbye and returned home.
Except for a few diplomats, representatives of most countries, ethnic groups and organizations have left.
The last group to leave was the delegation from the Kingdom of Oro.
Princess Lily invited Roland, hoping that he could visit the Kingdom of Oro as soon as possible.
Roland was very interested in this special country and gladly accepted the invitation.
Princess Lily originally planned to return home as soon as possible, but after receiving Roland's affirmative answer, she decided to stay for a while and wait for him to set off together.
Unless something unexpected happens, she will succeed to the throne within three months, and Roland should be able to catch up with her coronation ceremony.
She attended Roland's coronation ceremony, and Roland would naturally return the favor.
The night before Lily was about to leave, a messenger arrived in a hurry, his face covered in dust and his clothes stained with dried blood.
The messenger only had time to say "His Majesty has passed away" before he died of exhaustion.
Seeing the messenger who had lost his life, Lily was horrified and instantly panicked.
Even the most politically insensitive people knew that something was wrong.
Three days ago, she had just received an imperial edict from Oro City saying that His Majesty the King missed her and hoped that she would return home as soon as possible.
It’s hard to say whether His Majesty the King misses her or not, but some people really want her dead.
Although the messenger died suddenly after saying only one sentence, Lily smelled a conspiracy. The distance from the Kingdom of Oro to Gracia was not short.
Unless you are a sixth-level expert, you will never be able to catch up.
Her father died, but someone forged an imperial decree hoping that she, as the crown prince, would return home as soon as possible.
This is an obvious trap.
Lily woke up from her brief shock and without hesitation had the guards carry the messenger's body and head to the palace where Roland was.
At the palace gate, before she could even express her request for a meeting, the captain of the palace guard decisively let her in.
"Your Highness Lily, His Majesty has ordered that you may enter the palace without notifying us."
Lily didn't have time to think about it. She quickly thanked the captain of the guards and ran quickly to the library where Roland was.
During this period of time, Roland would read books in the library and think about life.
There is a question that has troubled Lily for a long time.
It is rare to see Roland practicing, but he is very strong. How does he do it?
The problem only bothered her briefly.
She thought of her own sister Lucy, a girl who had no interest in cultivation but who quickly grew into a fifth-level powerhouse after receiving divine revelation.
Geniuses are not bound by rules. Roland's talent is obviously higher than that of his sister, so it is not surprising that he has achieved his current results.
When Lily came to Roland breathlessly, he seemed to have seen through everything and said with a smile:
"I can revive weaklings below level 4. As for strong ones at level 5, I can only leave them to the World Tree."
Lily breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know how Roland knew what she was asking for help, it saved her trouble.
The resurrection process went smoothly.
It was very easy to revive a messenger of only level three strength. The magic power Roland consumed was quickly restored after the resurrection ceremony.
Seeing Lily constantly expressing her gratitude, he smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet. Business is more important. The message this messenger ran to tell you must be very important. Take him back."
Lily did not follow Roland's order, but shook her head stubbornly.
She gave orders directly to the messenger, asking him to report the situation here.
The messenger hesitated and had to lower his voice to remind him, "Your Highness, the details of this matter involve the affairs of our royal family. You should listen to His Majesty Roland's instructions."
