Chapter 43: Roland
Roland was standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment, looking at the gray building inside, a little hesitant.
Shiloh is not in the imperial capital now, and who should be entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the Children of Prophecy?
If it weren't for that cunning old guy who pressed me with a military order, who would want to have anything to do with the notorious Fisdal family!
"Father, shall we go in?" Bill interrupted his thoughts softly.
Roland took a deep breath and said, "Let's go!"
"May I ask who your Excellency is, and what are you doing here at the Prime Minister's Mansion?" the two guards at the gate crossed their spears to block their way.
"You're blind, you don't even know Duke Roland?!" Bill stepped forward, his tone impatient.
"What a faux pas, it turned out to be the Duke!" The two guards' faces suddenly changed, and they quickly stood on both sides, saluted Roland, and made a gesture to invite in.
Roland ignored the two and strode into the Prime Minister's Mansion with his head held high.
"I've always reminded you to be mindful of your manners when you're outside. Bill pursed his lips, not daring to refute.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was exceptionally quiet in the afternoon, except for the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the grass. The four of them and Rosie were all practicing in the courtyard at this time.
"Hmm? Someone seems to be coming. Rodrith suddenly shouted, with a look of surprise on his face.
I saw Roland walking slowly towards where Filin was, and Bill followed honestly.
"Miss Rosie, you haven't seen me for a few months, don't you recognize me?" Roland looked at the girl, and there was a soft color in his eyes.
Rosie saw the other party's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Roland, why are you here?!"
Hearing this, the four of them hurriedly stopped their movements and walked to Rosie's side.
Roland glanced at the five people in front of him, a mysterious smile on his lips.
"This is my son Bill, you've seen it before. Bill stepped forward and saluted Rosie.
"Wait, he's the one who attacked me that day!" Film's sudden shout startled them.
"What's going on?!" Rosie's voice was a little higher than before, and she was visibly wary.
"Charlie's own cause of the events of that day, please don't blame him too much.
Bill, don't you make amends to others!"
Hearing this, Bill hurriedly laughed and said, "It was my fault last time, please forgive me." ”
Fei Lin suddenly felt a little funny: You are about to kill me, and saying a beautiful word afterwards can be regarded as reparation?!
Seeing that Fei Lin's face was very ugly, Luo Lan smiled helplessly and said, "Fei Lin, as compensation, if there is anything you need help in the imperial capital, please tell me." ”
"Oh?" Filin was immediately interested, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, and said, "How do you know my name?"
"Uh... Well, this one. ”
Rosie turned her head and muttered a few words to the magic apprentice.
Rodrith bowed to Roland, turned and ran away.
"Lord Roland, I don't think you've ever visited the Prime Minister's Mansion. The girl winked at Fei Lin, motioned for Fei Lin to remain silent, and continued: "Today, the adults suddenly came to visit, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as apologizing to Fei Lin, right?"
"Haha, Miss Rosie is really smart. ”
Roland didn't seem to be in a hurry to say the reason, but stretched out his hand slightly, and said, "I haven't asked the names of several teenagers yet." ”
"You must be clear about this, do you need me to introduce you too much?"
Roland was a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he had to laugh a few times.
Rosie gestured to Loras, and the swordsman immediately understood what she meant, and said to Roland, "Lord Duke, I won't hinder your conversation. ”
Loras took Ellie's hand and turned away until the two disappeared into the cloister.
Loras had all three of them left the courtyard, and Rosie was secretly relieved.
Seeing this, the expression on Roland's face did not change at all, and he still had a vague smile.
"Miss Rosie, I heard that the Prime Minister has rushed to the battlefield a few days ago, I wonder how the battle situation is on the front line?"
The girl pretended to look innocently into Roland's eyes and said, "I don't know much about the situation of the war. ”
"Yes, presumably the Prime Minister would not have mentioned these things in front of Miss Rosie. Roland looked at the girl's calm face, and couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart.
The other party is just a twelve-year-old girl, and her speech and demeanor are so old-fashioned!
Even though Shiloh himself was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, Rosie was a well-known magical genius, and Roland naturally would not lose his courtesy.
Filming stared at Bill with both hands. The battle in the slums is vivid.
And his roar at that time vented all the mania that had been accumulated for a long time.
"Lord Duke, how come you have the leisure to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Roland looked back - the person who came was dressed in a gray robe, it was the court magician Aven.
"It turned out to be Lord Aiwen, I haven't seen you for a long time, haven't you been on a mission to other provinces recently?" Roland said kindly.
Bill was almost tormented by Film's eyes, and finally couldn't help but speak: "You kid, why do you keep staring at me!"
"Bill, don't be rude!" Roland scolded.
"If it weren't for my father here, I wouldn't have taught you a good lesson!" Bill snorted coldly.
As soon as the words fell, Bill's figure became blurred, and in an instant, he appeared at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
One of the guards was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he said, "Your Excellency...... Are you leaving?"
"Alas, this kid can't really do anything about him. Roland spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
"I wonder what Lord Roland's visit is all about?" said the court magician lightly.
"Last time, Charlie disobeyed the agreement and instigated Bill to stop Philin the slums. Roland showed a hint of apology on his face, and continued: "Fortunately, Lord Evan appeared in time, otherwise it would have almost caused a catastrophe!"
Roland was right - if he wanted to let the people of the court know that he had harmed the Prophecy Child, he could be punished with deportation.
"Lord Roland doesn't have to blame himself too much, after a few days of recuperation, there is no big problem. "Evan is polite.
Fei Lin watched the conversation between the two quietly, and a sense of déjà vu welled up in his heart.
This flattery and tactfulness has been tried and tested at any time and place.
Roland casually glanced in the direction of the cloister, as if remembering something, and said, "Then I won't hide it, the purpose of my visit this time is actually very simple." ”
Evan didn't respond, but waited silently.
"I have a shipment of weapons to be shipped to the battlefields on the northern border, and I want Filin to go with him as an entourage. ”
"What?!" Rosie's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she said excitedly: "Absolutely not! My father told me that I must not let him leave the Prime Minister's Mansion alone." ”
Roland smiled mysteriously, turned back to the girl and said, "Miss Rosie doesn't have to be so excited~"
With that, the kind fat man looked down for something, and suddenly his expression moved, and he took out a Mithril letter from his bosom and handed it to Rosie.
The girl suspiciously opened the scroll of paper, and her face was full of surprise.
"It's... Is this a request from my father?!"
Rosie stared at the contents of the paper in disbelief, but the Prime Minister's signature in the lower right corner could not be faked.
"Dear Duke Roland Hilton
Now that the war in the north is urgent, I hope that your Excellency will count 1,000 weapons and armor from the treasury and transport them to the battlefield.
In addition, please let the Prime Minister's Mansion accompany him,
Loras, Rodrith, and Ellie remained in the Prime Minister's Mansion to learn martial arts and magic.
Written by Shiloh Fisdal. ”
The Mithril paper in the girl's hand emitted a milky white light, and the air was filled with the fragrance of dream flowers, and the sky gradually darkened.
Fei Lin stared blankly at Roland's slightly chubby face, and couldn't help but think: Where should I go next?
——
The genius is faintly bright, and as the seasons change, the climate becomes colder and colder.
The courtyard is full of scattered dead leaves, revealing a trace of sadness.
At this time of the day, the Prime Minister's Mansion was still calm. However, Roland had already parked the carriage outside the Prime Minister's Palace, and set off immediately after Filmin was ready.
"Filin, are you really going to leave with that duke?" said Rodrith standing at the door, watching Filin pack his bags.
"No way, this is the Prime Minister's order......" Fei Lin put "Assassin's Creed" into it, looking up helplessly.
"Hurry up, Loras, they're still waiting for you outside. The magic apprentice's tone was a little sad.
After all, since leaving Willow, Fei Lin has been sharing weal and sorrow with them, but now he has to go to the battlefield alone, and he is naturally very reluctant.
"Let's go!" Filin strapped his bags and pinned the Shadow Blade and Elven Dagger to his waist. He reached out and touched his chest, feeling the temperature of the coat of arms, and sighed softly.
Rosie had locked herself in her bedroom since last night, and she couldn't accept the fact that Filmin was leaving.
"I returned to the imperial capital for him......" The girl felt aggrieved at the thought of this, and actually lay on the pillow and cried.
"Brother, why did Lord Shiloh have to let Filin go to the battlefield?" Ellie lowered her head, feeling a little depressed at the moment.
"Look, here they are. Loras saw the two figures in the cloister and patted the girl on the back and reminded.
"Ellie, you're there too......" Filmin looked at the girl's sullen appearance, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart.
Since crossing into this world, I have traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital after all kinds of hardships, and I thought that I could survive in this stable place.
Who knew that fate seemed to play a joke on him, and actually dragged him out of the group of four!
"Film, the Duke has been waiting for you outside the door for a long time. Loras reminded as he looked at Filin's gloomy face.
"Okay, I'll go. Filin stepped forward and hugged Loras, gave Ellie a reluctant look, and then turned and walked out the door.
"I'll be back soon, you don't have to worry about me. Filin felt a little moist in the corners of his eyes.
This feeling of helplessness was much stronger than when she first left Willow.
