Faced with Cage's questioning, Roland was a little difficult to answer.

The relationship between him and Andonara is hard to explain. It is better to say that they are lovers, and they have no substantial relationship. It is better to say that they are not. The relationship between them is quite ambiguous.

Even as long as Roland wants, he can take the last step at any time.

So Roland didn't answer, just stood quietly.

After waiting for a while, but not hearing Roland's answer, Cage was a little disappointed. He turned around and looked at the former and said seriously: "Anna was the one I grew up watching. I am her swordsman and her uncle. I don't think it's her half-father. I rarely stop her from doing anything she wants, but do you think, why should you take away a queen? The royal family will let you do this?"

Because of the slow circulation of information and the fact that the royal family deliberately suppressed the queen's abducted, Cage was not clear about it, and the royal family had long allowed the queen's behavior.

Roland smiled and said, "Don't worry about the royal family."

Cage opened his eyes wide, he looked at Roland with a suspicious attitude for a while, and finally frowned and asked, "Are you confident or arrogant?"

"It's been three or four months since Andonara came to me." Roland also took a few steps forward, holding the white stone barrier on the balcony with both hands, and said: "For such a long time, if the royal family really wanted to deal with us, we wouldn't be so relaxed."

Cage patted the stone railing hard: "Your strength is pretty good, I can feel it. You are pretty good for a young man in his life, but compared with Anna, there is still a distance. Just your personal strength should not be able to stop the royal family."

"What if I'm immortal?"

Cage was shocked at first, then silent, and finally understood: "It turns out to be the son of gold, that's no wonder."

Even if the news in Reed Village is blocked, there are outsiders. Cage has naturally heard of the famous name of the Son of Gold.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Cage feels that he will be scared if he meets the Son of Gold.

Most people will be afraid of something that can be resurrected after being cut to death.

Roland smiled at Cage, looking very modest.

Cage turned around, leaning against the balcony guardrail, he hugged his chest with his hands, and said, "Since she is following you and is willing to abandon her identity as a queen, it seems that she trusts you very much, the kind that trusts you in her bones."

Roland nodded, and he felt it too.

"So don't let Anna down on your feelings for you."

Roland sighed slightly in his heart, and asked, "Andonara is very strong, but why did she develop such an extremely insecure temperament?"

This is also the strange thing about Roland.

Logically speaking, a strong woman like Andonara should be very confident, full of energy and heroic appearance.

A woman shouldn't be like a vine.

Cage thought quietly for a while and said, "My younger brother Case did not inherit much of the blood abilities of our family. His combat ability was very poor. Although he had a small noble status, he lived a bit miserable life. So he went to work as a merchant and ran around with the caravan to make money for his family. His wife and daughter Andonara stayed in the small family in the royal city. At that time, he was still poor and could not afford to hire a maid. When Andonara was four years old and almost five years old, her mother suddenly fell seriously ill. I don't know the specific situation, but I guess there was no one left before even the pastor could find him."

Roland's heart broke out.

Cage continued in a quiet and gentle tone: "That small manor is in a remote corner of the royal city. After his brother and sister died, four-year-old Andonara lived in the manor for a month. A month later, Keso, who had made a lot of money, returned to the royal city, but saw the tragedy on earth."

Roland held his hands together and subconsciously squeezed each other hard.

Cage took a deep breath: "Keso saw his wife's body lying on the bed, which had dissolved into a pool of rotten bones, and maggots were everywhere on the wet yellow bed. Anna, who was so thin that she had only skin bones, was sleeping in the corner with her mother's clothes, covered in mud and sand and stench, and many maggots were creeping around in her hair and clothes."

"Ana was already in a coma at that time, if her brother was two or three days later..."

"Afterwards, we calculated that Anna had not eaten enough every day for a whole month. Her younger brother Keso also found that there were a lot of rotten fruits and stems beside her wife's pillow. Those should have been picked up or dug out in the grass in the manor. She ate some of them herself, and she was not willing to eat the rest. She kept them next to her mother. She might hope that after her mother ate them, she would wake up, hug her again, and play with her."

"We can't imagine that a four-year-old girl lives alone in a huge manor for her. Why can't my mother wake up and get a response? She's hungry and thirsty. The whole world is dark at night. No one responds to her, no one comes to comfort her. Moreover, her mother becomes more and more stinky and looks more and more strange... I dare not think about such fear, let alone a four-year-old girl."

Roland looked up at the sky and blinked hard, and he felt his eyes wet.

"After my brother asked the pastor to rescue Anna, he buried his wife, and then burned the small manor to ashes with a torch. With the money he earned, he bought a much larger manor in the rich area and invited many servants to serve Anna. After that, Anna woke up in a daze, she would always look for wild fruits and dig rhizomes in the grass, saying that she would eat it for her mother, and she would sit up and play with her again. But she couldn't find her mother in her new home, so she would always run outside. Whoever stopped her would yell and punch and kick."

Roland sniffed and asked, "So Andonara has been insecure afterwards?"

"It took Anna a year to stop looking for wild fruits and rhizomes, and at the same time gradually forgot about her mother." Cage sighed: "After that, Anna became indifferent to her father. Originally, her younger brother was traveling around and running around, and she spent less time with her daughter. The relationship between the two was not as intimate as that of the father and daughter. After that, Anna would always subconsciously stay away from her father. Although she forgot many things, she was still instinctively blaming her father, why didn't she come back early to save her mother! This situation did not improve until she was twelve years old."

Roland has heard of many miserable things in the information society and has also seen a lot of them.

But they are all outsiders, or unfamiliar people. Although they will be sad and sad when they see the text and pictures, there will always be a little unreal in this emotion.

This is just empathy.

因为那些人都是陌生人.

But this time it's different. Andonara is his acquaintance and a very familiar friend.

Such a tragic incident happened to my relatives and friends. After hearing this, it felt completely different.

Roland really didn't expect that Andonara, who was obviously very powerful but always a very young woman, had such a tragic experience.

No wonder she was already the queen, but she followed her so easily, just because the royal family wanted to ‘give up’ her and promised to protect her.
