In the palace, the king sat at his desk, looking down and meditating on something.

Although Rand's mood now seems to have calmed down. But his somewhat pale face and slightly blank gaze showed that he had not completely recovered from the excitement of that day.

Ever since Roland's death, Rand has felt as if he had lost something in his thoughts, very empty and uneasy. And the person who was once inseparable from him will never appear again.

To be honest, Rand couldn't tell what mood he was in right now. Although it was Rand who survived in the end, he felt like a walking corpse, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart, empty.

But at this point, everything is a foregone conclusion.

So Rand could only force himself to cheer up. Because of the current domestic and external troubles in the moon, there are still thousands of subjects who need to rely on him. So he had to be strong, strong to hold it all up.

"Now the rebellion in the Northwest is completely broken. And our army can't support the situation there. It can be said that Twin Moon City has completely lost control of that area, and now we have no access to the sea in the north. The current situation in the southwest region can also be said to be turbulent, and they are already on the verge of rebellion or non-rebellion. Although it is difficult to predict what the final situation will be, I think we still have to prepare for the worst, Your Majesty. ”

At the desk, a young minister was methodically reporting to Rand on the current situation of internal and external troubles facing the Moon Country.

Since the death of the old king and the intrigues of the Six-nation group, a series of problems hidden under the original prosperity of the Moon Country have been exposed. The power of the Moon Country has also begun to inevitably decline. And the loss of control of the Moon Country is more like a fuse that has caused turmoil in the entire continent, and all the principalities of the human race have begun to become restless. The problem that Rand is facing now can be described as quite serious.

The young minister standing in front of Rand now is Lan Ke, a young advisor who Rand has recently promoted.

Lan Ke was actually the King's classmate in the War Academy, but the people in Silvermoon's class didn't know much about Lan Ke. Due to some physical reasons, Lan Ke rarely attends the academy's classes, that is, the legendary sick genius of No. 29.

Although it is rumored that this Lan Ke is a very sick man, he himself seems to be polite, but he is also quite mentally capable, without the slightest malaise as the legend, and he is extraordinary.

After listening to Lan Ke's words, Rant's face didn't have any expression, but he felt a little tired. He said expressionlessly: "I know, I'll leave it to you to arrange!" ”

Lan Ke nodded: "I understand, Your Majesty." ”

At this time, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, that Lord Lin from the country of the stream, ask to see you." ”

After glancing at Lan Ke, Rand whispered, "Call him in." ”

A moment later, Lin arrived at the king's chambers.

Due to Gao Ze's death, the people of the country of Jian have also experienced a lot of things during this time. Lin worked hard, so during this time, he has been very tired.

In addition, Lin's physical condition has not been very good, and now his right eye is blind again, so among the three people in the room now, Lan Ke actually looks the best.

When Lin saw Rand, he was neither arrogant nor humble, but said lightly: "Rand, I haven't seen you for a while." ”

Rand nodded and asked straight to the point, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Lin glanced at Lan Ke and replied, "As an envoy of the country of streams, I have something to tell the king of the country of the moon. ”

Rand asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just got the news from the country of the stream, the king is old and dead. As you can see, Gao Le is now the first in line to the throne. So I would like to ask for your permission to return to the Land of Streams. ”

After listening to Lin's words, Lan Te nodded with a tired expression: "Now the entire continent is stormy, and the situation is different from what it used to be. An An: They're no longer in Two Moon City. So it doesn't seem to make any sense to keep you any longer. I agreed to your request. Let's start on a certain day! Be careful all the way. ”

"Thank you, Rand." A rare smile appeared on Lin's face.

Rand also barely squeezed out a smile, although this smile looked very reluctant in Lan Ke's eyes.

At this time, at the entrance of the palace, another group of people also met unexpectedly.

The eldest cousin Marven looked at Moses who was walking towards them not far away, and said with a smile: "Isn't this our Grand Duke in the southwest of the Moon Country!" Why do you have time to enter the palace today? How do I remember that you have always been at odds with the royal family of the Moon Country, what kind of wind is blowing today? Your old man has also entered the palace? ”

Moses walked slowly towards Marven and Noah as usual, and did not pay attention to Marven's words.

However, the Apocalypse who came with Moses was a good person, and he smiled and said to Marven and Noah, "It's been a long time, two young masters...... No, Young Master Noah is now a duke and should call you an adult. ”

Noah smiled gently: "It's just a title, you can call it anything." But Moses, what are you doing in the palace? ”

Moses glanced at Noah and said unhurriedly: "When I entered the palace, of course I had something to look for the king, otherwise I would still come to visit the door?" ”

"That's a coincidence, we also have something to find Rand, let's go together!" As he spoke, Marven put his hand on Moses' arm, and regardless of whether Moses was willing or not, he walked directly to Moses to the palace. The others, on the other hand, looked at each other and smiled, and then methodically followed the two of them, and walked together in the long corridor towards the king's chambers.

Along the way, several of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, which was in stark contrast to the palace that had been lifeless recently.

Noah looked at Marven and said with a smile: "The last to become the king was the little prince Rand, I'm afraid that none of your family expected it, and now your family should be in a mess, right?" What do you think? Now your position in the family, has it skyrocketed? ”

Marven said casually: "It's okay!" However, the bet that our old man made on my brothers was so bad that he even lost the coffin. So he's been sulking at home lately! I didn't have a good face to show me. But according to what you say, it seems that I am really the only one in our family who can have a relationship with the king. Do you say that this means that everything is predestined, and no one can force it? No matter how beautiful the past is, and what the outcome will be in the end, no one can predict, right? ”

As soon as Marven's words fell, the scene suddenly became silent.

Marven felt a little strange at first, and then reacted quickly. He knew that it was because of what he had just said that everyone suddenly remembered Roland.

To be honest, since Roland's death, the atmosphere in Two Moon City has been a little weird. The people who didn't know the details were cheering, but almost all of the people who knew Roland well chose not to mention it.

Although everyone had doubts about this matter in their hearts and felt that there was something else hidden, because this matter was related to the king, most of them chose to remain silent. For these noble children who are familiar with both parties, things have developed to this point, and it is obvious that it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Regardless of the outcome, this is a choice made by Roland and Rand together, and the others are not qualified to judge right or wrong, so everyone mostly chooses to respect the choice of the two. After all, the Moon Country is now in a special period of social turmoil, and Noah and the others don't want this matter to add to the burden on the king again. In that case, it won't do the entire Moon Country any good.

They walked for a little while, and finally came to the door of the king's office.

Different from the formality when Lin visited, Noah directly pushed open the door and walked in: "Rand, are you here?" Only then did he see that there were two other people in the hall besides Rand.

Noah smiled, "I can't think of anyone else, I was rude just now." Lin, how are you doing? ”

Lin Wei smiled and didn't answer Noah's question, but said, "We're leaving Twin Moon City." ”

Noah couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood, so he also smiled: "Really? Be careful on that road. For some reason, Noah's mood suddenly deteriorated, probably because too many people had left recently, which made Noah feel that the scenery in the city of the two moons seemed to be starting to become depressed.

Next, everyone chatted a few words relaxedly, and the atmosphere in the office rarely became less depressing than before.

Rand put down the papers he was working on and asked, "What's the matter with a bunch of you people coming to me?" ”

Moses glanced at the king and then asked sharply, "As far as the current situation and situation in the Moon Kingdom is concerned, you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

Lante was slightly stunned, and then his eyes became darker: "I know that the situation in the Moon Country is difficult now, the rebellion on the border is difficult to quell, and the southwest is also about to move. You, on the other hand, have a pivotal influence in the Southwest. But I know that you have never liked me very much, you don't like the royal family, and the royal family has had that kind of holiday with you before...... So I don't know what position I can take to ask you to do something for the Moon Country. ”

"Don't worry, the situation in the southwest will not be chaotic for the time being." Moses glanced at Rand and said, "But don't get me wrong, I'm not here to help you." However, the situation on the entire continent is unclear at present, and it is not wise for me to make a rash choice. As things stand, a stable Moon Country is good for both of us, and I'm only doing it for the people of the Southwest. ”

Rand was a little stunned, but he reacted quickly, and then smiled at Moses, "Thank you." ”

After that, Rand turned his gaze to Noah again and asked, "What about you?" What did you come to me for? ”

Noah leaned his hand on the desk and whispered, "I want to talk to you about Xia Zuo and them." ”
