in the name of the queen.

Chapter 260 Roland, you don’t understand love
In this life, there are always things that people have to face sooner or later.

For example, the bard Adam is preparing to report personal problems to the leader.

Standing outside the door of Roland's temporary office, Adam felt inexplicably nervous and his heartbeat was particularly messy.

He had to say unspeakable words in front of Governor Roland.

He wants to marry a golden kite girl.

It wouldn't have been a big deal, but she was a spy, at least she had been.

They met by chance during the mission, and Little Tou dominated Big Tou's one-night romance. Who knew that in the end he couldn't let go of the female spy.

He couldn't imagine how Roland would respond.

Is it anger, shock, or disappointment?
He knew very well that Governor Roland had high expectations for him.

If he had not valued him highly, he would not have taken the risk of becoming enemies with the Vladimir Empire in the imperial capital.

"Please sit down and pour yourself some tea."

Salamanders with three legs are rare, but there are many beautiful girls with two legs.

Adam clenched his fists.

However, he soon faced the torture of his soul. Should he persist in his [love] with Miss Lilith?

Either choose Lilith, and your career will be bleak from now on, and you will lose the chance to avenge your family.

When the Fourth Fleet approached the city wall along the wide Cité River, set up cannons, and hung the enlarged city defense map on the mast, the morale of the troops defending the city collapsed instantly.

To be fair, Lilith is a gentle and romantic girl and an excellent wife. Especially her superb cooking skills allow Adam to regain the taste of when his mother was still there.

There is only one corps in the military establishment of the three overseas provinces. The brigadier general is the senior officer, and his gold content is similar to that of the major general in the empire.

Adam was not surprised. Everyone knew that Queen Sif and Governor Roland were lovers.

"Please come in." After a short silence, a soft voice came from inside.

In addition, he also received a special reward of five hundred pounds.

The defenders of Xidai City did not disappoint, pretending to think, and then decisively broke out of the city and surrendered.

Gently pushing the door open, Adam moved into the room and stood not far from the door.

Men are powerful and have as many beautiful women as they want.

How to choose?
Maybe in the eyes of others, this is just his pretentiousness. There is no need to hesitate at all for this kind of question, and he will definitely give up.

No, that's not the case, Lilith is different from them!

It wasn't Roland, it was Her Majesty the Queen's voice.

Seeing Adam's cautious look, Sif smiled and comforted:
"General Adam, don't be so restrained. Is something okay?"

Roland gave Adam a very high evaluation, and Count Sif, played by Her Majesty the Queen, even generously expressed to him that he would make him a baron after returning to the country.

Either give up Lilith and reach the pinnacle of life.

Can't pass the political review.

The side mission was to collect as much intelligence as possible, and he did a better job.

In this special crusade, the main task Adam received was to spread the story of the return of the Saint of Vengeance, and he did a good job.

This city defense map played an important role in forcing the surrender of Xidai City.

Except for a few diehards who tried to resist, everyone else honestly put down their weapons.

The title General made Adam's heart tighten.

Even a former spy.

No one wants to take the risk.

This is a huge amount of money that can buy four houses in the wealthy area of ​​the imperial capital.

Who can see through a woman who has been a spy, and who dares to trust her absolutely?
Adam is an important piece of Roland's future blueprint, and there is no room for error.

When Governor Roland won the essay championship that year, he only received so much bonus.

There were two paths before Adam.

In other words, is the spark between them passion or love?
Adam was silent.

Three minutes later, she finally finished reading the document, left Juanxiu's signature at the end of the document, and then raised her head.

He shouted silently in his heart, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

Sif did not raise her head, but continued to flip through the documents on the table.

"Mr. Governor, are you there? I am Adam."

Not only did he take the opportunity to sneak into the blocked Xidai City, he even obtained the city's defense map and a large number of information about the generals of the defending army.

Her Majesty and the Governor-General are generous and tolerant, but they will never allow important subjects to marry foreign spies.

From this adventure, he gained both fame and fortune.

Because of his outstanding contribution, he was promoted to brigadier general.

He was only a lieutenant colonel before, but this time he was promoted as an exception, which is equivalent to skipping a level, which shows the great favor of the emperor.

Adam had a headache. If Her Majesty knew that he was giving up his future for a woman, I don't know how disappointed she would be.

He was trying to think of something to say, but found it impossible to speak.

Her Majesty the Queen's eyes were full of joy and she seemed to be in a good mood. He should not cause trouble for her at this time.

But this is the last chance to come clean.

The expeditionary army will return home tomorrow.

A small number of elites will follow the fleet, and most of the army will leave along the road.

Adam was ordered to follow the fleet.

If he didn't make it clear, he wouldn't even be able to find a reason to take Lilith with him.

The marriage of ordinary people is a private matter, but the marriage of officials around the Queen is obviously not.

Seeing Adam hesitate to speak, Sif smiled and asked: "Adam, you are my direct vassal now. If you have any personal matters, you can tell me and I will try my best to help."

Completely different from when she was in the Imperial Capital, Sif is now very skilled at winning people's hearts and will never again make such a foolish move as refusing a bribe from the Minister of Justice.

Faced with the leader's concern, Adam was naturally flattered.

He gritted his teeth and said softly: "Lord Earl, do you have time to listen to the story? It's a true story that I encountered during this operation."

Sif's eyes lit up.

She likes to listen to Roland telling stories, but unfortunately everyone is very busy recently, so the frequency and duration of Roland telling her stories are not as good as before.

Adam is the best bard, and his stories may not be as wild as Roland's, but they are certainly worth hearing.

"It's my honor." Sif smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Adam's heart moved. Sif is a queen, but she is also a young girl. Maybe she can understand him?

He immediately perked up, cleared his throat, and went into storytelling mode.

To be fair, Adam is indeed a top bard. His stories are full of appeal. If there are a few young girls in the audience, they will definitely be moved to tears.

However, Sif was not an ordinary audience member. She was well-informed, and of course she would not be moved by such things. She just listened quietly until the story ended.

Seeing the Queen's expression that had not changed at all, Adam was also a little frustrated. At the end of the speech, his tone became a little more desolate.

"My Lord Count, as you have heard, this is the case."

Adam was speechless for a moment because he didn't know how to describe it.

The inexplicable encounter touched the heartstrings.

It was all the moon's fault. It sprinkled on Lilith's soft body and took away his heart.

After listening to Adam's story, Sif asked calmly:
"So, you met a girl who is engaged in a special profession during your mission?"

"Yes." Adam lowered his head and spoke a little softer.

"And you had a one-night stand?"

"Yes." Adam lowered his head further and his voice became softer.

"Then you go to Xidai City together and stay together every night?"

"Yes." Adam's face felt hot, and his voice was similar to a mosquito's hum.

He couldn't help it anymore, raised his head, and whispered as if begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I..."

"This is love!"

Sif slammed the table hard, interrupting Adam's words.

Adam: "."

Hey, Your Majesty, what does this mean?
He stared at Sif dumbfounded, her burly body swaying like a wind chime.

Sif stretched out a finger and said softly: "You can't find any rationality in your behavior. If this isn't love, I don't know what is."

ah? What is the logic?

Adam's mind was completely blank.

Sif looked at Adam with a smile and reminded softly: "Go and call that girl. I want to see who makes your heart beat."

Although his mind was still blank, Adam still carried out the order resolutely.

He left quickly, even kicking down half of the threshold on the way out.

Seeing his excited look, Sif's lips smiled a little.

She can bet against anyone, this is love.

Shortly after Adam left, Roland appeared at the door.

He glanced towards the corridor in surprise, smiled and teased: "Adam, is this guy stimulated? He forgot to say hello when he saw me just now."

"It's nothing, he was just robbed of his intelligence by the God of Love." Sif stood up with a smile, gave the seat in front of the desk to Roland, and went to sit on the sofa next to her, pouring tea and drinking tea.

Seeing Sif's smiling face, Roland was a little puzzled, but didn't know how to ask.

Sif couldn't help but motioned for Roland to sit down, "Roland, do you want to hear a story?"

Roland wanted to say that he was leaving tomorrow and there was still a lot of work to do, but he couldn't refuse Sif's expectant gaze, so he returned to his seat and sat down pretending to be leisurely.

Feeling the remaining body temperature on the cushion, Roland's heartbeat accelerated violently.

"Of course you have to listen."

"This is a pure love that breaks through the eyes of the world." Sif's eyes gradually softened.

Her storytelling skills were far inferior to Adam's, and she was not as good at weaving stories as Roland, but her voice was melodious and her words were as beautiful as her songs. Of course Roland liked to hear them.

However, the content of the story made Roland somewhat dissatisfied.

In order to hear Roland's true thoughts, Sif replaced the names of people and places in the story with pseudonyms, and told the story of Adam and Lilith in a different way.

"Roland, how would you rate this love?"

"This is not love." Roland shrugged and said disapprovingly.

This was because he couldn't control Xiaotou and went to visit the brothel. This was the first time he saw someone talking about lust in such a fresh and refined way.

Sif didn't like hearing this.

She frowned slightly and asked dissatisfiedly: "This young man is a smart man. He can make him lose his mind. What is it if it's not love?"

Of course, it's the sperm on the brain.

Roland almost spat out, but considering that Sif was in a good mood these days, he tactfully changed his expression.

"Just being attracted by a girl's beauty does not count as true love."

Sif didn't like hearing this even more. Beauty was not wrong.

She stood up, with a particularly serious expression, and began the Queen's little love class.

"Roland, you don't understand love at all. The first form of love is the attraction between opposite sexes."

"Whether it is external conditions such as talent, knowledge, identity, and status, or bonus points such as character and personality, they are all modifying this most primitive attraction."

Sif's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and she said softly but firmly:

"Only attraction to each other regardless of external conditions is the purest love. Falling in love over time is certainly love, but isn't it love at first sight?"

Roland was stunned.

He always felt that what Sif said was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

He figured it out quickly.

He habitually tied love to marriage, but what Sif said was pure love that transcended marriage.

Facing Sif's clear eyes, he chose to surrender.

"Okay, I admit that you are right, but there is no such love in reality. Your story is very good, but it does not exist in reality. How could a man give up the title awarded by the Queen for the sake of an unidentified girl he picked up on the roadside? "

"This is a love story, not reality."

Sif smiled and asked, "What if there is one in reality?"

"Then I admit that this is true love, right?" Roland disagreed.

There were footsteps in the corridor.

Two people, one light and one heavy, their steps were messy and they sounded uneasy.

Xi pointed her slender fingers towards the door and said softly: "Love is here."
