Chapter 156: Archimedes
In fact, the current situation in Twin Moon City is very clear to anyone with a little brain, and there will be big changes. It's just that it's none of his business, and Roland doesn't pay much attention to it.
But now that the king is dying, the situation seems to have become uncertain again.
Roland thought about the series of situations that happened to him and Rand these days, which were probably also related to the power struggle.
In Roland's heart, he actually didn't care about who could succeed to the throne. Because although Roland hopes that the heir to the throne will be Rand, he also knows in his heart that in the current situation, there is no such possibility.
Archimedes said: "Roland, I think you should know very well in your heart that you have stabbed the little prince who is deeply loved by the people, and you are no longer suitable to stay in the Moon Country. Even if this turmoil is over, it can't. But because of Catherine, you can't get too far from Rand and let him be persecuted and killed. Because it's also about your own life. In such a situation, what to do is the most beneficial for you, I think a smart person like you should not understand in his heart, right? ”
After thinking about it carefully, Roland somewhat understood what Archimedes meant. But because Roland's inner conclusion was too terrifying, he couldn't say it at all!
Archimedes saw Roland's expression and seemed to have guessed his thoughts.
So Archimedes said unhurriedly: "You are so clever that you should know that the best way to end this predicament in front of you is to clear the threat to Rand and get out of here." Only then can you live the life you want, isn't that what you've always wanted? ”
"Then you can't let me assassinate the prince!" Roland said coldly: "I don't know which faction you belong to, Prime Minister?" Who do you want me to assassinate? Randa? Laner? Or Lansa? For such a thing, you obviously have a suitable candidate than me...... And why should I do it? ”
Archimedes took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You are wrong, this matter is really only you can do." Ellis, a general herself, is already an insider. In addition, her father is already in-law with the royal family, so it is inappropriate to act at this sensitive time. As for why this assassination, only you can do it, you will know when you go. ”
Intellectually speaking, Roland only thinks that Archimedes' words are very ridiculous: why does Archimedes think that Roland will do what he wants?
But for some reason, Roland's heart was beating a little wildly at this time, and it seemed to be a little ...... Agitated? I don't know if it's because Archimedes' plan can bring freedom to Roland and make him a little excited.
Roland has been imprisoned by this royal city for seven years, seven whole years!
Over the years, Roland has been longing for freedom all the time, longing to be able to really do what he wants to do, instead of living a humble and gorgeous life in Two Moon City like he is now.
Although a small number of people will treat Roland sincerely, but those cold eyes and those disdainful colors over the years, Roland has really had enough!
So much has happened lately, and Roland feels physically and mentally exhausted. He was already tired of what he was going through, and at the same time, he felt that his relationship with Rand had become a little subtle after the accident in Wailin, because of the gossip from the outside world. Roland feels that the relationship between himself and Rand may not be able to return to the original state of putting his heart in his heart......
And the accidents and injuries these days also made Roland feel very painful. He's tired and doesn't want to be covered in injuries all the time; Nor is he a machine, and he can't live for someone all his life; Roland wants to be free, not for others, but for the freedom to live for himself!
Roland was a little frightened by the vacillation in his heart: how could he be interested in such a rebellious thing? The assassination of the prince is a grave crime...... To be exposed is to die...... But this kind of injury, Roland seems to have practiced in Rand's body......
In this way, Roland's heart has been going back and forth between doing and not doing, vacillating.
After thinking about it for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Roland's reason finally convinced him to be willful for once, and everything came according to his heart. Roland finally made up his mind!
Even if Roland knew early on that once he had taken this step, there would be no turning back.
Roland took a deep breath to calm his mind as much as he could. He asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Kill the second prince Lan'er."
"Lan'er? Hasn't he already lost ground? Roland was a little surprised.
"After Lan'er died, it was only natural that someone would take care of his relationship with the other princes. When the time comes, we will push his death on the third prince Lanza. As long as he is convicted, Lanza will immediately become a sinner who kills his brother. When the time comes, won't the eldest prince Landa be able to become a king as a well-behaved heir? I can assure you that no one will do anything to Rand after this, and that he will become the king's favorite brother, the Prince. And you, I will prepare a sum of money for you, enough for you to leave the Moon Nation and do what you want to do. Archimedes stared at Roland with an interested expression.
"Deal. I don't want Rand to know about it, though. Although Roland didn't seem to care about this matter on his face, in his heart, he still felt that he was a little sorry for Lante for doing this.
"That's nature, I'll let you know when and where it is." Archimedes seemed pleased with the outcome of their meeting.
When Roland came out of the hut alone, it was a little gloomy outside, and it was raining lightly.
Without imaginary relief, Roland's mood at the moment was mixed, and it was a little difficult to describe. It seems that he has let go of something, but Roland's mood is still very gloomy and heavy.
Roland didn't really know what he wanted, but he was just disgusted with his current life.
Perhaps only by ending the farce in the city will Roland have a new beginning, and he doesn't want to be a puppet or anyone's vassal anymore.
Roland felt that his brain was a little empty.
Gray held an umbrella and waited for Roland at the entrance of the alley. "How?" he asked. ”
Roland shook his head, just wanting to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Because of the martial law in the city, no horse-drawn carriages are allowed to enter the street where the two are located. Gray followed behind Roland, and the two of them walked one after the other.
The rain hit Roland's face, messing up his hair. Roland felt that he was starting to feel less and less like himself. His head was in a state of excitement, but he couldn't remember anything else.
In front of me was a congested crowd, all huddled together, and they were very noisy. On the street corner was the whispers of the people, and the sound reached Roland's ears.
A passer-by bumped into Roland's body, and Roland stumbled and fell on the table next to him.
Gray hurriedly came up to help Roland, who vaguely heard the person in front of the table saying something to him.
"Do you want to join us?"
Roland was stunned.
