Roland was taken to another place.

This room has a very heavy wooden door, and although there are large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room to let in the sunlight, for some reason, it still gives people a gloomy and eerie feeling, and the spirit is in a state of collapse.

Above the main hall, two people sit on two extravagant and intricately decorated chairs. One was an old man in his sixties and seventies, who should have been the old man Roland had seen in Motil. He wears a crown, gray hair, withered hands, mottled age spots on his face, and gray and black pupils and eyes, but it reflects a feeling of fear and disgust to look at.

On another chair reclined a young woman who looked to be in her early thirties. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, skinny, her lips were purple, her face was as pale as white paper, and she had long nails, giving people a very sickly feeling.

Roland has struggled to survive at the bottom of society since he was a child, and has seen all kinds of people, so he is particularly good at observing what kind of person the other person is from the eyes of others.

Although humans are good at pretending, the information that inadvertently comes out of their eyes must be true. The two people in front of him should be Rand's parents. The king was not a good person at first glance, and Roland could sense that he was a cunning and suspicious person, which made Roland feel disgusted. But what scared Roland even more was the woman.

Roland, can't see through that woman.

Neither the king nor the queen spoke, and there was silence in the room. It made Roland feel a chill that made him feel creepy.

In the middle of the day, the king spoke, and said to the woman in a low tone of disdain, "This is the little bastard that Rand begged me to bring back. After all, a pariah is a pariah, and even if he cleans it up, he still can't hide his poor sour taste, I really don't know why you want to see him. ”

"Ahem......" The woman coughed suddenly. After a while she sat up, and did not look at the king squarely, but said in a very cold tone: "That is not as filthy as you, who killed your father and killed your brother and seized power...... I'm going to say a few words to him alone, you get out. The woman's voice was not loud, and her lips only moved slightly, but every word she said fell clearly in Roland's ears.

It can be seen that the relationship between the couple is not very good, or rather, the woman is disgusted with the king. A cold glint flashed in the king's eyes, his lips moved, and the veins on his forehead flared up, but at last he held back and did not speak, and then got up and left angrily.

As the heavy wooden door was closed, only Roland and the woman were left in the room. This scared Roland even more. Roland could feel his nerves tense, and the tension made his face heat up a little.

"Boy, come here. ”

The woman commanded in a cold tone. There seemed to be some kind of magic in her words, which was irresistible.

Roland didn't dare to disobey the woman's words, so he could only slowly walk up one step after another and came to the woman. The woman raised her right hand and pressed her long nails against Roland's chin to lift his head.

The woman's left hand ran over Roland's cheek and down his neck to his collarbone. The woman picked up the necklace hanging around Roland's neck with her fingernails, glanced at it, and said a little lazily: "Roland?"

Roland's necklace was engraved with his name, and when the lumberjack found Roland, the chain was on his body, which can be regarded as Roland's biological father and mother, the only thing left to him.

Roland nodded nervously, and the sweat of soybeans dripped down.

The woman picked up Roland's head again, looked him in the eyes, and asked playfully, "What kind of person do you think the king is?"

"He is brave and mighty......"

The woman squinted her eyes at Roland, her eyes revealing a hint of weirdness, and smiled.

The woman suddenly put her head into Roland's ear and whispered, "You ~tell~ lie." ”

Before Roland could react, he was grabbed by the woman's shoulders and fell to the ground. The strength of a woman is terrifying, and it does not match her weak appearance.

Roland rolled down the steps, and the wound that had just been bandaged opened again, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't stand up.

Roland struggled to his feet, and the woman continued, "Come up." ”

As if something was guiding Roland, his body was a little uncontrollable, and he involuntarily walked to the woman's side.

"Besides, what kind of man is the king?"

He ...... He's a cruel, disgustingly disgusting monster. Somehow, a fear invaded Roland's heart. He didn't know what kind of answer this woman wanted to hear, so he could only say what he really thought.

The woman seemed satisfied with Roland's answer: "I really didn't misunderstand you. Then the woman changed her tone and asked, "What kind of man is my son?"

"Lan ...... Your Highness, he is a kind man. ”

"Good, yes, he's just too kind......" The woman seemed to mutter, and then, as if remembering something, suddenly grabbed Roland's shoulder, and his long nails pinched Roland's pain: "Do you know? Your behavior in the barracks is enough to make you die hundreds of times! But you didn't die, do you know why? It was my kind son who knelt down in front of that disgusting and disgusting monster in order to save you, and begged him to spare you! Your life was saved by Rand, it was Rand's!" Somehow, the woman was a little excited, and suddenly coughed again. Roland was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

After a while, the woman finally calmed down a little, and she continued to say in a fit and on, as if to herself: "But this palace is full of man-eating monsters, and my Rand personality is too gentle for him to fight those monsters." ”

Suddenly, the woman excitedly grabbed Roland's neck and looked straight into his eyes: "Your eyes are very good, and there is a ruthlessness in them." I want you to remember that your life is rand's, and you have to protect him, and clear all the obstacles that appear in front of him!

Roland's neck was pinched by the woman, and he could only nod his head and say yes.

But the woman was not satisfied. She suddenly shook her body, then her eyes showed a fierce light, and then she stabbed the nail on her other hand into Roland's chest!

A yellow light lit up on Roland's chest in an instant, and then some patterns and words began to appear on his chest that he had never seen before, stained with Roland's blood, and spun and deformed rapidly!

Roland only felt a cone-like pain. He could feel the woman's fingertips touching his heart, and the feeling was uncomfortably stuffy.

Roland struggled to break free from the woman's hand, but she grabbed Roland by the neck and kept him from moving. Roland seemed to be suffocated, and his mind went blank.

I don't know how long it took, but the woman finally let go of her hand, and the light disappeared with it.

Roland sat on the ground, sweating profusely and his heart beating fast. But the words and patterns on Roland's chest were gone, and even the opening when the woman's hand plunged into Roland's heart disappeared, leaving only mottled bloodstains.

Roland originally thought that he must be dead this time, so he suddenly had a sense of happiness for the rest of his life, but the feeling of palpitations never disappeared.

The woman was also sweating profusely and looked very weak. She gasped for breath for a long time.

The woman propped up her crumbling body, struggled to get in front of Roland, and whispered in his ear, "From now on...... Your heart is tied to his safety...... He wants you to give birth...... You will give birth to ...... He wants you dead...... You're going to die...... You have to look at him more than anything else...... And if he dies...... Your soul will suffer endless torment in the fire of hell, and you will never be reborn!"
