When he returned to the street again, Roland noticed that soldiers were walking back and forth on the street from time to time. But looking at them, it doesn't look like they're helping people rebuild their homes.

Most of the soldiers were moving through the streets in a hurry, looking very hurried.

Roland thought this situation was a little strange, and asked, "What's going on?" What are they doing? ”

"Nothing! They are just helping the people repair their houses! Gray replied nonchalantly.

Roland stopped and looked at Gray, clearly not believing what he had just said.

Gray couldn't hide it, so he sighed and said, "You have been in a coma and don't know the situation in the city for the past two days. Although the demons have receded and everyone has begun to rebuild their homes, for some reason, people have been dying in the city for a few days. And most of the people who died were nobles, even if they were not nobles, they were people related to the court. So most of the nobles in the city are panicked now. As for the soldiers who were hurrying through the streets, I guess there had been some murders. ”

Homicide case?

Roland felt a little incredible: "Since something so serious happened, why didn't you tell me before?" ”

Gray showed an embarrassed expression: "Well, don't be angry when you talk about it...... Because Rand has already ordered that no one is allowed to investigate this series of murders without permission, I will not tell you. ”

"You're saying that something so big happened that Rand wouldn't let people track it down?" Roland felt very incredible, because according to Rand's character, he had just taken over Twin Moon City now, and he should want to find out the murderer as soon as possible to appease the people, why would he not let people track it down?

Moreover, there seems to be something else suspicious about it.

Thinking of this, Roland said: "Even if Rand doesn't let people track down these murders, you don't have to hide it from me, right?" ”

Gray sighed, then looked at his surroundings alertly, and then whispered in Roland's ear, "I'll tell you the truth!" It's because Rand is pressuring to prevent others from tracking down this matter, so rumors have long been spreading in Double Moon City! Some people are even wondering if Rand's abnormal decision this time is shielding you! ”

I see!

No wonder the people on the street reacted like that when they saw Roland just now! It turned out that their hostile gaze was not only because of the rumors that had already existed on Roland before, but also because of the impact of this incident!

At this time, the crowd on the street suddenly began to turn into a riot again, and Roland heard someone shouting: "Oh no! Doru, the Minister of Economy, who lived in the west of the city, was also killed! ”

People stopped what they were doing and began to discuss, "Why is it that another nobleman has died?" I remember it was already the twenty-second......"

"Alas, I don't know how many more people will die, why doesn't Your Highness care?"

"Your Highness is busy directing the reconstruction of the city now, how can you have so much time to take care of other ......"

"That's right, now everything in the city is handled by him alone, and he is really busy, but what about the murder case here?"

The whispers of the crowd reached Roland's ears, making Roland somewhat surprised by the current situation in the city.

Unexpectedly, although Rand seems to be elegant on weekdays, he has never managed affairs. But when he did have to take responsibility, he did a good job.

Roland thought that he would have nothing to do now anyway, so he decided to go to the west of the city to have a look. If this series of cases had all been the work of the same person, perhaps he would have found something in common.

Gray knew that he could not defeat Roland, so he helped him find a carriage and drove to the west of the city.

When he was in a hurry in the car, for some reason, Roland suddenly felt that his hands and feet began to feel cold, and it was obviously a clear sky outside? However, Roland didn't take these small details to heart, because his mind was still thinking about the murder.

When they arrived at the minister's palace in the west of the city, Roland and Rand found that there were many people surrounding it. Most of them were soldiers, and their families, as well as some officials who came to investigate, and aristocrats who were panicked themselves.

Roland saw a large group of soldiers sorting out the files and materials to transport out, as if they were going to get somewhere. Since there is a panic in the house now, there are no guards at the door.

Roland and Gray walked in through the gate, and occasionally the little eunuch saw Roland and showed a disdainful expression. It seems that the spread of rumors has been quite extensive, but they despise and despised, and there is still no one in the house to stop them from entering.

Gray asked the little guy in the house to find out that the place where the incident happened was the study, and rushed over with Roland. When they arrived at the study, they found that a lot of people had gathered here, all gathered around, as if they were looking at something.

Others felt bad luck when they saw Roland, so they all consciously made way for Roland without squeezing, which saved Roland a lot of effort.

After the crowd cleared, Roland was surprised to find that Rand was also here to inspect the murder. Doru's body, on the other hand, lay upright on the ground and had not yet been disposed of.

Seeing Roland coming, Rand's expression was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" Are you feeling better? Why don't you go to rest? ”

"It's not in the way, the muscles are weak after lying in bed for a long time, but it's better to be active." Roland said with a smile, then looked at Rand.

Rand's left hand and foot were wrapped in bandages, and although they were covered a lot by the wide robes, it was still clear that his injuries were quite serious.

The people around didn't say anything when they saw the two of them talking, and the attitude of waiting on the side was also very upright. It's just that the eyes in which they look at Roland are a little more complicated.

But it's no wonder, after all, Rand's identity is not the same as before. Although there was no explicit or formal ceremony, it was clear to everyone that Rand had begun to master every aspect of the Moon Nation. He is no longer just the handsome and popular little prince he used to be. The current Rand is only one rank behind the king.

And it won't be long before Rand becomes a true king.

As for everyone's gaze at Roland, Roland also knows very well what it means. Others have begun to envy the kind of "friendship" between him and the future monarch.

Rand looked at Roland, still with the same expression as usual.

But somehow, Roland always felt that although there was still that familiar face and that familiar person in front of him, the feeling that Rand gave Roland had all changed.

Or rather, the way Rand looked at Roland had changed.

Thinking of this, Roland's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad. The two of them used to be so close to each other, and they grew up together.

But now?

Although in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Roland and Rand is still the same as before, Rand seems to be able to tolerate all of Roland's shortcomings, and they are still as close as they were when they were children. But perhaps only they know that once something has changed, it will never change again.

Even if they still get along in the same way as before, that feeling is gone.

Roland just wanted to ask Rand about the current progress of the murder case, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure appearing in the study, which made Roland suddenly startled!

That person is Archimedes, the prime minister of the Moon Country who asked Roland to assassinate the second prince Lan'er, Archimedes!

Somehow, at the first sight of Archimedes, Roland's heart beat faster, and he was suddenly nervous and speechless.

How did Archimedes end up here? Didn't Rand already know that he had instructed Roland to kill Rand? How could you still stay with him?
