So that's it......

No wonder Roland smells of demons.

Now that I think about it, this was probably left behind when Augustin spliced Roland's body, right? It turned out that something like that had happened to Roland.

Roland only felt that the pain on his body was more intense, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Rand's body.

Rand was still dressed as bright as usual today, and his hair was neatly braided at the back of his head. But Roland suddenly felt that the person in front of him was only a shell!

Because Roland understands what it takes to make a contract with a demon like Augustine!

Roland held back the fluctuations in his heart and said slowly: "So, are you really the mastermind of those murders?" ”

"Yes. After making a contract with him that day, Augustine was seen by Diplomat Gould when he sent me and you back to Twin Moon City through the Sky Split. I'm a prince, and a prince and a demon are in collusion...... This kind of thing I can only kill people and kill them. Those who died later were all people who had more or less learned the truth...... Roland, you must know that now I am the only heir of the Moon Country, and if it is known to others that the future monarch has an affair with the demon, then the blow to this country will be devastating! So I had to start first. Some of these people were solved by Archimedes' assassins. For the rest, I'll have to let Augustine take action......" Rand said slowly.

Rand's expression was slightly sad at this time, as if he had been mentally prepared for his future fate.

Roland lowered his head and smiled bitterly: it seems that everything has been explained. On the day the diplomat died, people saw that the looming third person turned out to be himself!

But when Roland knew the truth, why didn't he not only feel relieved, but felt like he was collapsed, so isolated and helpless?

"So...... The price of your pact with Augustine is ......," Roland asked.

Rand took a deep breath and his expression became calm: "Actually, you already know the answer in your heart, don't you?" I swear to him that after death, the soul will be taken over to him, and there will be no chance of reincarnation...... And what he wants to repay me in return is to fulfill my wish before I die. Whether it's restoring your body, repairing my wounds, or killing those people at my behest, it's just part of the contract......"

Roland couldn't stand it anymore, and Rand kept telling him the truth: because doesn't that mean that it was because of him that Rand became what he is now?

Roland felt ...... I'm not worth it at all!

Roland felt that his body suddenly began to become cold, and at the same time began to shiver incessantly. But he didn't know how he should face Rand now!

After a while, Roland slowly spoke: "Then you...... Why don't you tell me ......"

"Did it work to tell you?" For some reason, Rand suddenly began to become agitated, and even his voice became agitated, Roland had never seen him like this!

"Do you want me to tell you that I sold my soul to a demon for your sake? I can't say that...... I know that with your identity, it will be difficult to stay by my side in the future, and I also know that you plan to join the Holy Court and leave Two Moon City soon! If you know these truths at this time, can you still leave desperately...... I want you to be free, Roland, do you understand! In order to stagger the time and prevent people from thinking that you have anything to do with these murders, I changed everyone's memories and deliberately brought the incident forward...... But what about you? I told you not to pursue it further, but you have to make things the way they are! It's the same with stealing the corpses of nobles, I just hope you'll get out of the way! But what about you? Do you have to put me to death? Yes?! Now so many people know that the murders are related to demons...... How do you want me to give everyone an explanation! Things are out of hand...... Can I really find a murderer? Do you want me to tell them that I colluded with the devil to kill all the people? I'm sorry...... I can't do it anymore...... I can no longer just follow my own will as I used to...... I am also responsible for the tens of millions of subjects of the Land of the Moon...... So this matter has to be settled! Now it seems that you are the only one who has done these things...... is the most reasonable......" Randt's voice choked up a little, and he couldn't say any more.

Roland lowered his head slightly, understanding what Rand meant.

This serial murder case has caused a storm in the city, and as the future monarch of the principality, Rand must give an explanation to the public. However, the aspects involved in this matter are too complicated, and he can't just find a random person and say that he is the mastermind, which is too unconvincing and will only cause more criticism and suspicion.

Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, Roland is the most suitable scapegoat. There is no shortage of all kinds of weird rumors on Roland's body. He also assassinated the second prince Lan'er, and summoned such a monster in the outer forest. If it was because Roland had an affair with a demon, which led to this series of tragedies, no one would doubt it!

Roland didn't speak, just sighed slightly, but felt extremely painful! Who is responsible for the uncontrollable situation in front of us?

"So...... What are you going to do with me? Roland finally calmed down his excitement, sat back down in the corner, and asked in a low voice.

Rand didn't look back: "When the king's coronation is over, I will personally send you to the guillotine." ”

Roland closed his eyes and didn't speak again, but he knew very well in his heart: from this moment on, the friendship between them for so many years was truly over.

For the next few days, Roland remained silent in the dungeon, thinking a lot.

Roland finally figured out a lot of things, and the emotions he was excited about before began to gradually calm down.

The soldiers guarding Roland today are much smaller in number.

If there is a reason, it is that today is the day when Rand officially inherits the throne, and the reduced soldiers are now in the square outside the palace to maintain the order of the king's coronation.

Roland heard the faint sound of a cannon salute coming through the thick walls. He knew that from this moment on, Rand had become the true ruler of the Moon Country.

From now on, people will call him "king", right?

Roland smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling extremely tired physically and mentally, and he began to reflect on what he had done in the past nineteen years. As a result, Roland was helpless to find that he had never done anything with his own will.

Roland's life obviously hasn't started yet, and he can't think of it, but it's about to come to an end.
