Chapter 198: A New Beginning

Roland felt his left hand tingle, as heavy as lead. He struggled, but he couldn't escape.

At last, Roland felt that his brain was stuffy, and he could no longer calm his thoughts, and a feeling of palpitations filled his heart, and it grew stronger and stronger until it woke him up.

Roland sat up in shock, only to find that his left hand was being torn painfully. He looked down and saw that Gray's boy was pressed against his arm, making him unable to move.

Roland pushed Gray away, waking him up in the meantime, gasping for air to calm his now agitated mood. And Roland's forehead was already full of sweat.

Roland looked up and saw that he seemed to have returned to human territory and was now in a brightly lit room. This room is spacious and quiet, it looks like a bedroom, but it is full of strangeness.

Roland realizes that he is now back in Two Moons. But the place he was in now was no longer the mansion at No. 11 Duchy Road that he was familiar with.

After Gray is woken up by Roland, one accidentally falls to the ground. When his face appeared in front of Roland again, it was still a dazed expression.

Roland looked out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sunlight on his face had a particularly warm and warm feeling.

Roland was wearing a loose hospital gown with a bandage around his forehead.

Roland looked at his tightly wrapped arm, and suddenly had a feeling that was not very real.

Now Roland, there is no pain and discomfort in the front chest and back. Probably because I haven't felt so comfortable in a long time. At this moment, Roland actually felt a little refreshed and cool on his body, and that feeling was very comfortable.

"When?" Roland asked, getting out of bed and walking in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Probably because he hadn't seen the light for a while, Roland was now very eager to bathe his whole body in the sun, as if by doing so, he would be able to wash away everything that had ever happened to him.

"You mean how long has it been since you've been back from Castlevania Ivanger? Not much, just two and a half days later. Gray replied.

Roland leaned against the golden veil and looked out the window, and all he saw was a dilapidated and ruined house. But the army of the kingdom has begun to help the inhabitants to rest their houses, so that the weather in the city has shown a bit of new vigor.

The fortifications in the city are being repaired in an orderly manner, and it seems that the previous demon invasion did not bring despair to the people here.

Everyone quickly adjusted their mood and was struggling to rebuild their homes. Roland looked down from the upper floor and saw that in the alley in the distance, Ellis was leading his troops to distribute food while maintaining order in the city. Seeing that nothing had happened to Alice, Roland suddenly felt relieved.

The direct sunlight on Roland's face made him feel very comfortable. Roland looked down at his fingers, and it felt a little unreal.

With so much going through these days, Roland's spirit has always been in a state of tension. Now that he has relaxed all of a sudden, Roland feels a little unaccustomed.

Roland looked back at Gray who was standing behind him. Although only a few days had passed, Roland felt as if he hadn't seen Gray for centuries.

The expression on Gray's face was still as cynical as ever. What he was wearing was still a flowery, gorgeous robe, the kind of greasy feeling that was familiar to annoyance on weekdays, but today somehow, it made Roland feel very kind, and even a little warm.

Xu is Roland stared at Gray for too long, Gray frowned and said with a look of disgust: "Why are you looking at me with that kind of look? Could it be that you went to Castlevania and suddenly found that I am your true love?"

Roland didn't pay attention to Gray's jokes, but suddenly reached out and hugged him. Gray's expression was a little surprised at first, and then he smiled indifferently and accepted it, and at the same time, he also reached out to hold Roland's back and whispered in Roland's ear, "Welcome back." ”

Since the mansion at 11 Duchy Road was badly damaged by this demonic raid, Roland and Gray had to temporarily move to another mansion in the city.

Through Gray's narration, Roland knows that Sakura has also returned to Two Moon City and is now recuperating in her own home.

Thanks to the timely orders and instructions issued by the royal palace, the reconstruction of the city is now proceeding in an orderly manner.

Roland looked at Gray and moved his lips, "What about Rand, why didn't I see him?"

He ...... Ever since he brought you back to Twin Moon City, he has immediately entered the palace. In the past few days, he has been in the palace to handle and direct the affairs of the city. You also know that after this riot, there are people who have the right to inherit the throne...... Not much is left. After that, he was afraid that he would have to take on the future of the entire Moon Country, and he would not return to this mansion. Gray said cautiously, observing Roland's expression. He seemed a little afraid that this would affect Roland's mood.

Roland didn't speak, but he felt a little bitter in his heart: yes! After such a catastrophe, all the princes in the city of Two Moons, except for Rand, have already died. He is indeed the only one who can take on these responsibilities now. After this busy time, Rand should soon inherit the entire Moon Kingdom and become the real king. I'm afraid no one could have predicted such an ending before, right?

Although Roland had also looked forward to such a scene before, when it really came true, Roland's mood became complicated again.

This may be because, although Roland himself does not want to think about it, he still understands in his heart that even if Rand is still a rand, when he becomes a king, Roland's state of mind towards him will no longer be the same, and it will not be the same as before.

Thinking of this, Roland's mood suddenly became gloomy again. Because he knew that although he successfully got Rand back this time, the contradiction between them was not resolved.

The things that Roland had done before when he deceived Rand would not mention them even after the two of them. The relationship between the two of them will never return to the intimate state it used to be.

That thorn has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the two of them, and it can never be erased!

Roland's personality has always been sensitive due to the environment he has been in since he was a child. Although Rand is gentle and kind on the surface, he grew up carefully in the royal family, and his heart is actually more sensitive and fragile. After that hysterical outburst, it was impossible for the two of them to act as if nothing had happened!

Seeing Roland's current appearance, Gray naturally guessed what he was thinking, so he coughed, trying to distract Roland.

So Gray took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Roland, and said, "By the way, the materials you submitted at the recruitment point in the Holy Court last time have already arrived. Say that you have passed the review, and ask you to report on time at the designated place in half a month. ”

Roland took the paper handed by Gray, and suddenly felt a little comfort in his heart: since you can't face it, don't face it. At this point, no one should harm Rand, and it's time for him to get out of the way. Leaving at the right time, whether it is for Roland or for Rand, is the most appropriate choice.

In this Twin Moon City, Roland's body has never lacked all kinds of gossip and notoriety. In the past, Rand might have been able to ignore these rumors, but now the situation is different.

There should not be a person like Roland, who is of unknown origin and full of abnormalities, around the future king of the Moon Country. Rand needs to consider all aspects of the principality and balance the various forces. And Roland's existence will only increase the opportunity for others to attack and interrogate Rand, which is just an obstacle and does not help at all.
