If you break your oath, you will not be reborn forever.

It was the woman's evil wish to Roland, and it was the last thing she said to him.

Not long after that day, the woman died.

To be honest, Roland didn't expect her to die so soon. Although the woman looked sick, Roland always thought that it was just a sign of bad health.

On the day of the funeral, it was raining lightly.

Rand was crying, but the rest of the funeral showed no signs of sadness. From other people's accounts, Roland vaguely learned that her name was Catherine, and she was actually a prophet. Then the oath that Catherine said is likely to be some kind of contract. Through certain conditions and costs, constraints control Roland's behavior. Roland didn't know why Catherine had chosen her.

Although in retrospect, what Catherine did to Roland still makes Roland feel palpitations, but strangely, Roland doesn't hate her very much, perhaps because Catherine is at least a good mother. Roland, on the other hand, has never seen his mother.

The sky was a little gloomy, and the atmosphere was a little oppressive.

Roland couldn't help but look up at the sky, in addition to the dense dark clouds, he could vaguely see the floating continent Adelan from the cracks in the clouds. Because it is the residence of the Protoss, the people here also call it "God's Domain".

It is said that the prophet is a descendant of the gods and humans, so Catherine may have the same mind as the gods, or perhaps, her soul has returned to the gods.

I don't know why, although the woman was unpredictable and put a spell on Roland, Roland still had some sympathy for her. Roland thinks that this may be because, to some extent, he agrees with her behavior, and there seems to be some strange resonance between the two, which is at work.

It's raining harder.

All returned to their respective carriages. After getting into the car, Rand still cried. Roland looked at him like this, a little overwhelmed.

In some ways, the queen was good to Roland. Although Rand was still very young, Catherine still let Roland be Rand's courtier early, and the courtiers of the royal family, generally speaking, are only qualified to be nobles. The king, who has always called Roland "little bastard", although he has always looked at Roland unpleasantly, but for the sake of Rand and the queen's face, he still agreed to Roland to become Rand's courtier.

In other words, Rand became the only person Roland could rely on now. Fortunately, Rand's temper and personality are very gentle, and he has always been very good to Roland. But for Roland, there seems to have always been some kind of indescribable estrangement between him and Rand.

In all fairness, Rand saved Roland's life and gave him a life he never dared to imagine before, and it was only right for Roland to give everything to repay Rand.

But I don't know if it's because the queen made a bad wish on Roland, which makes Roland feel that the relationship between the two of them is not an equal heart-to-heart relationship, which makes Roland feel very uncomfortable.

Although Roland understands that there is an impossible gap between himself and Rand's class. Rand's attitude towards him can already be regarded as a gift, but Roland just feels that there is an indescribable awkwardness between the two. Perhaps, this is Roland's last pitiful self-esteem.

After returning to the palace, Rand finally recovered a little. He was a soft-hearted child, but perhaps, as the queen said, he was a little weak in this palace full of monsters. Just at the funeral, through the eyes of the people, Roland could more or less feel their viciousness, treachery and indifference. Rand is like a delicate little flower, alone in this cannibalistic place, he is facing unimaginable crises all the time.

The two of them are now symbiotes of fate. Based on this alone, Roland also has to protect Rand's safety, because only by preserving Rand can Roland live.

But Catherine's spell on Roland was also like a big stone, pressing on Roland's heart, keeping him awake at night......

My thoughts went back to seven years later.

Roland looked at the little freckled Barrow in front of him, and the memories of the past came back to his heart, making him feel mixed feelings.

At this time, Nabarrow finally recognized Roland. Barrow's body shook slightly, and then he looked at Roland's face carefully, the expression on his face was complicated, and he carefully recognized it. After Barrow finally confirmed Roland's identity, the previous feelings of fear and fear and grievance suddenly gushed out, and he couldn't stop it anymore.

Barrow hugged Roland, repeatedly confirmed, crying and laughing: "Is that you? Roland! are you still alive......? is it really you?"

Roland had a rare change of mood at this time, and comforted Barrow a few words.

At this time, Rand said: "Roland, it's not too early, you still have injuries on your body, we have to go back." As for this friend of yours, since he is a worker of Dorkin. I'll say hello to Dorkin and let him take good care of you. ”

Roland nodded, and then said to Barrow, "I'll see you when I'm free." ”

Barrow nodded solemnly.

After dealing with a series of affairs, when she returned to the mansion at No. 11 Principality Road, Xiao Mi, the maid chief of the mansion, didn't sleep all night worrying, and waited for Roland and them to come back. Tears fell from her eyes when she saw Roland's tightly bandaged, and Gray's unconscionable transfer student was not at all worried, and had already slept and woken up.

"What's wrong with your head? I guess I fell into a pit?" asked Gray curiously.

Before Roland could answer, Xiao Mi opened his mouth to reproach Gray: "Have you talked like that! Roland has already been injured like this, you are still talking here to talk coolly, don't go too far!" Xiao Mi is not very old, and they are the same age as Roland, and they have been staying in the mansion at No. 11 Duchy Road since Rand moved out of the palace.

Because of Rand's affinity, the relationship between the people in the mansion is also relatively harmonious, and there is no very serious living atmosphere, and the communication between them is relatively casual. In addition, Xiao Mi has a lively personality, and sometimes he will have a few words with Roland and Lante, so although Gray is a guest of Lante, Xiao Mi still accuses him.

"Didn't I just ask, as for being so angry......" Gray's personality is also more casual, so he doesn't care about Xiao Mi's attitude when he talks to him, but quickly explains.

Roland didn't have the heart to care about the two of them. He just felt that his head was still a little dizzy. It seems that Roland's previous poison has not been completely unraveled, which makes his body a little tired. But Roland couldn't go and rest for a while. Because it's going to be dawn soon.

Roland had to quickly change his clothes and prepare to enter the palace.
