Faced with Cage's questioning, Roland was a little difficult to answer.

His relationship with Andonara is inexplicable. Let's say that they are lovers, and the two have no substantive relationship, let's say no, the relationship between the two is quite ambiguous.

Even if Roland wants to, he can take the last step at any time.

So Roland didn't answer, just stood quietly.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Roland's answer, Cage was a little disappointed, he turned to look at the former, and said seriously: "Anna was raised by me since I was a child, I am not only her swordsmanship teacher, but also her uncle, I don't think it's her half father." I rarely stop what she wants to do, but do you think why would you take a queen and the royal family would let you do it? ”

Because of the slow flow of information, and because the royal family deliberately suppressed the fact that the queen was abducted, Cage did not know that the royal family had already allowed the queen's behavior.

Roland smiled and said, "Don't worry about the royal family. ”

Cage's eyes widened, he looked at Roland with a suspicious attitude for a moment, and finally frowned and asked, "Are you confident or arrogant?" ”

"It's been three or four months since Andonara came to me." Roland also took a few steps forward, holding the white stone guard of the balcony with both hands, and said, "For such a long time, if the royal family really has the heart to deal with us, we will not be so easy." ”

Cage patted the stone fence hard: "Your strength is quite good, I can feel it." Young people for a lifetime, you are good, but compared to Anna, there is still a distance, and it should be impossible for the royal family to stop just your personal strength. ”

"What if I don't die?"

Cage was first stunned, then silent, and finally realized: "It turned out to be the son of gold, then it's no wonder." ”

Even if the news of Reed Village is closed, there are outsiders who come, and the famous name of the Son of Gold, Cage has naturally heard of it.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Cage will be stunned if he thinks he is in love with the Golden Child.

Chop down something that can be resurrected, and most people will be afraid.

Roland smiled at Cage, looking very modest.

Cage turned around, leaned his back against the balcony railing, he clasped his hands on his chest, and said: "Since she is with you, and she is willing to abandon her status as a queen and go with you, it seems that she trusts you very much, the kind that trusts you to the core." ”

Roland nodded, and he felt it too.

"So don't let Anna down on your feelings."

Roland sighed slightly in his heart, and then asked, "Andonara's strength is very strong, but why did she develop such an extremely insecure temperament?" ”

This is also where Roland is strange.

It stands to reason that a strong woman like Andonara should be very confident, high-spirited, and heroic.

She shouldn't be like a vine-like woman.

Cage thought quietly for a while and said, "My younger brother Kaisso has not inherited much of our family's bloodline ability, his combat ability is very poor, although he has a small aristocratic status, but he has a little hard time. So he went to work as a merchant, and traveled with caravans to earn money for his family, while his wife and daughter Andonara stayed in the small home of the royal city, when they were too poor to afford a maid. When Andonara was four years old and almost five years old, her mother suddenly became seriously ill, and I don't know the exact situation, but I don't think even the pastor had time to look for it, and there were no people. ”

Roland's heart fluttered.

Cage continued in a quiet and gentle tone: "The little manor was in a remote corner of the royal city, and after the death of her siblings, four-year-old Andonara lived on her own in the manor for a month. A month later, Caesor, who had made a lot of money, returned to the royal city, only to see a human tragedy. ”

Roland clasped his hands together and subconsciously squeezed each other gently.

Cage took a deep breath: "Kessel saw his wife's body lying on the bed, which had dissolved into a puddle of rotting bones, and the wet yellow bed was full of maggots. Anna, who was so thin that she had only skin and bones, slept in the corner with her mother's clothes, covered in mud and stench, and there were many maggots burrowing in her hair and clothes. ”

"At that time, Anna was already in a coma and dying, if my brother had been two or three days late......"

"Afterwards, we calculated from the scene that for a whole month, Anna did not eat enough every day. The younger brother Kesso also found that there were many rotten fruits and stems next to his wife's pillow. Those should have been picked up or dug up by Anna in the grass of the manor, and she ate some of them herself, and the rest was not willing to eat, but was placed by her mother's side, probably hoping that after her mother ate it, she would wake up, hug her again, and play with her. ”

"We can't imagine a four-year-old girl living alone on a huge manor for her, her mother can't wake up, she doesn't get a response, she is hungry and thirsty, the whole world is pitch black at night, no one responds to her, no one comes to comfort her, and her mother is getting smellier and more weird...... I don't even dare to think about such fears, let alone a four-year-old girl. ”

Roland looked up at the sky and blinked vigorously, he felt his eyes wet a little.

When the brother asked the priest to bring Anna back, he buried his wife, and then a fire burned the little manor to ashes. With the money earned, he bought a much larger estate in a wealthy area and hired many servants to serve Anna. After waking up, Anna would always go to the meadow to find wild fruits and dig rhizomes and come back, saying that she was going to give it to her mother, and her mother would sit up and play with her again. But when she couldn't find her mother in her new home, she would always run outside, and whoever stopped her, she would shout, punch and kick. ”

Roland sniffed and asked, "So Andonara has been insecure since then?" ”

It took Anna a year to stop looking for wild fruits and roots, and she gradually forgot about her mother. Cage sighed: "After that, Anna also began to be indifferent to her father, originally the younger brother was running business outside, running around, and spending less time with his daughter, the relationship between the two is not as intimate as that of ordinary father and daughter, after that incident, Anna will always subconsciously stay away from her father." Although she has forgotten a lot of things, her instinct is still blaming her father, why didn't she come back earlier to save her mother! It wasn't until she was twelve years old that things got better. ”

Tragic things, Roland has heard a lot in the information society, and has seen a lot.

But they are all outsiders, or people who are not familiar with them, although they will be sad and sad when they see words and pictures, but there will always be a little unreal feeling in this emotion.

It's just empathy.

Because those people are strangers.

But this time it was different, Andonara was an acquaintance of his, a very close friend.

Such a tragic thing happened to my relatives and friends, and after listening to it, I felt completely different.

Roland really didn't expect that Andonara, who was obviously very powerful, but was always a very small woman, would have such a tragic experience.

No wonder she was already a queen, but she followed her so easily, just because the royal family wanted to 'give up' on her, and she promised to protect her.

A woman who asks for such simplicity.
