Egilina did not complain from the beginning to the end and accepted the arrangement with a smile. Her performance was impeccable.

But behind the impeccable appearance lies alienation and strangeness.

He knew very well that this was the way of talking between superiors and subordinates, the way of talking between teachers and disciples, but not the way of talking between father and daughter.

Daughters can act coquettishly, but subordinates and disciples cannot.

Egilina's delicate heart was scratched.

He used to be her teacher, Shangfeng, and even her father.Never again.

Did he do it wrong?

Stevenson was silent for a long time, and his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

He did nothing wrong.He is the chief of the Star Observation Club, and he is responsible for the entire Star Observation Club. He is not qualified to put the Star Observation Club in danger.He believed Egilina could understand him.

Even if he is given a hundred more chances to choose, he will do it.

He is not only Egilina's teacher and father, but also the leader of the stargazing club. He has no choice.

...

Walking in the castle corridor, Egilina looked calm, with a smile on her lips, and nodded to the members of the passing execution team in a reserved and polite manner.

But she just smiled politely, and there was no trace of laughter in her eyes.

She fully understands the teacher's decision and fully supports it.

She won't even hold grudge against her teacher.

It's just hard.

She urgently needed to do something to divert her attention, such as going to see Roland.

She is now not afraid of being drowned in the whirlpool of fate, and is even eager to jump into the whirlpool.

Just as she approached Roland's room, she heard Roland's angry voice, "Guard? Please tell Miss Egilina that I want to see her!"

Her gloomy mood suddenly became a little brighter, even with a self-deprecating smile.

Fate has already arranged everything, and the struggle of mortals is like a worm in a spider's web, but in vain.

Just when she wanted to see Roland, Roland called out her name.

Are you saying this is not a fate?

She teased with a light smile: "As you wish, Mr. Roland."

The bedroom door opened slowly, and Egilina stood at the door, with the corners of her lips raised slightly, "Can I come in?"

Roland was a little stunned. He was sure that Egilina had just arrived and she would not be so bored squatting outside and listening to the wall.

The coincidence diluted the originally tense atmosphere, and also relaxed the nerves of the two people facing each other.

Roland's anger disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

"I have been defeated and surrendered. The Barony of Minhausen belongs to you. You don't need to ask me when you come in."

Egilina did not respond to Roland's joke. She sat down across from him in a familiar manner, put the note on the table, and asked bluntly:

"Where do you want to transfer the territory, I will help you. This is the list of alternative territories."

If these words had been spoken half a month ago, Roland would have jumped up with joy, chosen a place at random, and escaped from Münhausen.

But not now.

Melanies likes this forest, and he likes Melanies, so he also likes this forest.

"I love the mountains and rivers here. I won't go anywhere. Münhausen is my forever home."

Chapter 18 The God of Oaths is watching you

Egilina almost choked at Roland's words.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and she sneered angrily: "Don't be joking, I'm talking about business. I won't care if you keep doing this."

"What I'm talking about is business. I agree to all other conditions, except that I cannot accept leaving the Barony of Münhausen."

Egilina stared at Roland carefully to make sure he was not joking, and she was completely confused.

"I don't want to transfer you to declare war on the eleven forces. Are you crazy? If you treat me as a friend, just tell the truth to me."

"I'm not crazy. When the war was declared, I did hope to transfer the seal and leave, but then I changed my mind."

Roland looked at Egilina calmly, without escaping.

He won't lie to his friends, but there are some things he doesn't want to say.

Looking into Roland's eyes, Egilina was sure that he was not lying.

No one can easily deceive the Star Warlock.

She did not speak, but asked half-jokingly: "What happened? A gold mine was discovered in the territory?"

"Much more precious than a gold mine."

That is a beautiful elf girl, what is gold compared to her?

Roland put away his jokes and said seriously: "Egilina, I don't want to deceive my friends, but there are some things that are not convenient for me to tell you now. Please forgive me."

Yes, your water is quite deep.

Egilina complained silently in her heart, chuckled and shook her head, "Hey, you don't want to say it and I don't want to hear it yet."

"Since you don't want to leave, then just stay here. From now on, you will be my direct vassal. Do you want to become an earl?"

Looking at Egilina's sly smile, Roland shook his head decisively.

The last person who wanted to jump from baron to earl was pissed off.

Don't ask how he knew, just ask that he was his biological father.

He said solemnly: "I have no merit, so others will be dissatisfied if I was granted the title of earl rashly."

"Then Viscount. If you are willing to surrender, it can be regarded as my first expansion of territory after receiving the title of Duke. Although I don't care about this, it must be considered a meritorious service."

Free things are the most expensive. Before good things come to your door, think about whether they are a scam.

Based on this principle, Roland wanted to refuse categorically, but was interrupted by Egilina before he could speak.

"I am the first-class Duke of the Lisenberg Empire. The lowest vassal under my command is a viscount. It cannot be lower than that. I cannot afford to lose this person. Unless you are willing to be a vassal of a vassal."

"Dear Lord, please accept my allegiance and thank you for your generosity!"

Roland responded in an exaggerated tone.

This result is neither surprising nor surprising.The first pie that Egilina drew for him was that he was absorbed into the Star Gazing Society as a stargazer and became the first vassal, alongside Egilina.

However, he eventually became Egilina's vassal.

The difference is huge to others, but it doesn't matter to him.

He just used the help of the Stargazing Club to avoid war with the Kingdom of Lower Sarsen and to keep the Barony of Münhausen.As long as the core goal is achieved, it doesn't matter whose vassal you are.

He even preferred to become Egilina's vassal.

After all, we are all friends.

Egilina ignored Roland's joke and just said softly: "I know this is very different from the original promise. Don't worry, I will compensate you. I have to think carefully about where to become your viscounty. "

"Should I kneel down and pledge my allegiance to you now?"

Roland talked nonsense seriously.

Egilina snorted angrily, "Forget it, you will only be loyal to yourself, I don't want to listen to insincere lies. We are friends, there is no need for these false courtesy."

After thinking for a moment, perhaps feeling that there was no sense of ceremony and something was wrong, Egilina simply took off her gloves and handed her white little hand to Roland.

"This is?"

"Kiss the hand. I don't mind if you kiss the boots."

Of course, Roland would not be so mean as to kiss the boots with his small hands.

He held Egilina's right hand in his hands, thinking of going through the motions, but the room suddenly lit up.

There are indeed gods in this world, and some gods of fun like to set their sights on the human world.

The sacred atmosphere is thick in the bedroom, and the silent hymn is ringing in the heart.

The sense of holiness descending from the sky not only affected Roland, but also affected Egilina.

Egilina, who wanted to go through the motions, looked nervous and had beads of sweat on her palms.

Unlike Roland, a foreigner, as an authentic local, she certainly knew which great being this sacred feeling came from.

Norni, the god of protection and oaths.

This is a goddess who is both kind and stern. She often casts her gaze on the world, and occasionally shows a happy smile and endless anger.

She protects the oath and punishes those who break it.

The oath made under her gaze is also called the sacred oath.

The price for breaking a sacred oath is extremely high, starting with eternal darkness and ending with a shattered soul.

Roland and Egilina were both nervous.

They simultaneously cast their gaze into the void.

Golden writing appeared in the void, which was their oath.

Fortunately, it's not an excessive oath, just the most ordinary oath of protection.

The oath of guardianship does not distinguish between master and slave, requiring both parties to the oath to protect and help each other and not to betray.

The concept of betrayal is broad.

A direct backstab is betrayal, taking the money and running away is betrayal, and hurting the other party's interests under the premise of having a choice is also betrayal.

After seeing the content of the oath, Egilina whispered to Roland to start the oath.

The two kneeled down at the same time, less than two meters apart, and completed the solemn oath according to the content of the oath in the air.

After the vows were completed, the solemn and sacred atmosphere gradually disappeared.The god's eyes turned elsewhere.

After a long silence, Egilina took a deep breath and said softly: "It's okay now. We will be a community of destiny from now on, and no one can betray her."

Although the process was somewhat depressing, Roland did not object to the result.

If you are a vassal, you should not be too willful sometimes.

But what they completed was a two-way protective oath of complete equality.

Egilina cannot betray him, nor can she harm his interests without reason.Of course, so does he.

He is the beneficiary of the oath as he is clearly on the weaker side.

Even if this wave is not a bloody profit, it is at least a big profit.

Roland was very happy.

Seeing Roland's smile, the boulder in Egilina's heart finally fell to the ground.

She knew that the water for Roland was deep, and she was deeply afraid of the whirlpool of fate behind him.

But now she doesn't have to panic.

She and Roland completed the guardianship oath, and Roland could not betray her or harm her interests without reason.

They are a community of destiny.No matter how deep the water around Roland is or how scary the whirlpool is, there will always be a place for her on his big ship.

This is enough.

Perhaps the oath gave Egilina the courage, and she calmly told the news that shocked Roland.

"Roland, Julie and Lanna have been executed."

Roland was stunned for half a second before he reacted.

"Um, huh? Executed?"

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Egilina said calmly: "They must die."
