Stephanie looked sincere and serious.
Pondering for a moment, Roland said, "But I've been brought here by Alfred just to broaden my mind. I need to ask him if I am allowed to help you."
This was a matter of stance. It was fine when Roland offered a few ideas to Stephanie, but if he were to be hired by Stephanie, he would really be considered to be on her side.
He hadn't forgotten yet that he still belonged to the Red Magic Tower.
He was now studying in the Red Magic Tower, and he was quite grateful to them.
"You don't seem like someone who cares about whom you work for." Stephanie wasn't really convinced.
Roland agreed. "No, not really. I won't join any force easily, but several people in the Red Magic Tower are my teachers. I have to pay them enough respect."
Stephanie glanced at Andonara and asked, "If the Red Magic Tower is really my enemy, and if Andonara is willing to help me, you still won't help Andonara?"
