In the Name of Empress

Chapter 463 - 313: Friendship Rises with the Chimes (Part 3)

Roland knew this kind of enjoyment was rare, somewhat reluctant to sit up, he laughed at himself, "The dream is so real that Miss Liberator provided me with a knee pillow service."

"Not just a knee pillow, but also a massage."

Alina smiled slightly, rubbed her knees, and sat on the sofa beside him.

Roland’s performance was excellent just now, but she possessed keen eyes that, although unfamiliar with the Insight Skill, were equally outstanding in Insight Ability.

Roland was pretending.

Perhaps he truly didn’t recognize it at first, but upon waking, he certainly knew it wasn’t a dream.

He just used this explanation so neither side would feel too awkward.

Alina picked up the teacup, took a sip; the tea was already cold, giving a refreshing feeling.

"Comfortable?"

"Of course, it’s an unparalleled enjoyment, not only allowing me to completely relax but for a brief moment, even forget about the direction of home."

Perhaps influenced by the romantic atmosphere of the Jin Yuan Kingdom, Roland’s words became a bit slick.

Alina just smiled.

Such a genuine compliment.

Losing the desire for the Empress’s Palace, but only for a moment.

This kind of "insincere" praise, if used between lovers in a passionate romance, would mostly make the girl angrily stand up and leave.

Luckily, they weren’t.

They were just friends, which made it a very appropriate compliment.

Alina didn’t continue the topic but decided to check on Roland’s sleeping quarters every night, supervising and urging the maids to provide quality service, and personally demonstrating when maid service wasn’t excellent.

Of course, this was just mutual concern among friends.

Just enjoying a knee pillow, without doing anything outrageous, this was pure friendship.

Perhaps noticing the unsettling atmosphere in the room, or maybe thinking the Magic Lamp was on anyway, best not to waste it, Alina picked up the Civil Code placed beside her, shaking it in her hand.

"I’ve read Mr. Desmonds’ revised version, I think..."

About to give an opinion, Alina suddenly remembered this was Roland’s persistent work, resolutely held her tongue.

"Roland, what do you think of Desmonds’ proposals?"

"It’s like the foot wraps a female knight removes after chasing enemies for three days."

"What do you mean?"

"Smelly and long." Roland explained with a laugh.

Alina bit her lip, her voice slightly chilly, "I’m asking why you emphasized a female knight, don’t male knights have smelly foot wraps?"

"That’s something you’ll need to ask why people of old created such quips, maybe ancient Literary Scholars favored the toes of female knights."

Perhaps finding this topic a bit ambiguous, Alina instinctively tucked her feet back under her skirt, cleared her throat to steer the conversation back on track.

"So, your opinion?"

"My opinion is..."

It’s not as good as Emperor Napoleon’s Civil Code.

Roland silently thought to himself but didn’t rush to counter, instead smiled and asked, "You changed your surname to Bonaparte, is it to honor that Star Spirit Emperor Bonaparte?"

"Yes."

"How do you find his country’s legal system construction?"

"Based on historical records, the Star Spirit clan lived happily then, it can be deduced the laws were excellent at that time, but unfortunately those codes didn’t survive." Alina’s tone was full of regret.

"There are."

Roland took out another world’s Emperor Bonaparte’s Civil Code and placed it on the table.

"This is the Star Spirit Emperor’s Civil Code, also the most suitable code for our country."

He lied, but didn’t completely.

Because it really came from Emperor Bonaparte, and really was suitable.

It’s just from another world’s Bonaparte.
