After that, Anna rested on Roland's arm, leaning on his side like a cat.
"His Royal Highness, it's so nice to meet you..." After a long time, her breathing returned to calm, and she whispered softly.
"Call me Roland," he slowly played with the other person's long hair and smiled, "There are no outsiders here, I haven't heard you call me by my name."
"Luo... Lan."
"Good," he sighed after scratching Anna's ear and making her laugh, "Actually... I should have said this. Before, I could never imagine meeting such a wonderful girl as you."
"Isn't there even in the palace?"
"Nowhere," Roland shook his head slightly, "Sometimes I even feel unreal when I think about it."
Anna was silent for a moment, and pressed her body closer, "I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere."
This sentence instantly evoked his memory, and he couldn't help recalling that she had said this to herself before.
"Living like a normal person or something... I don't care, I just want to stay by His Highness's side, that's all."
"Are you dreaming? I'm not going anywhere."
"Yeah," Roland ran down his silky hair, stroking the other's smooth back, "You're right by my side."
Feelings are so wonderful, he thought, it was a conversation that had no meaning, but it made people feel extremely warm inside, as if it was about to melt.
This time the silence was longer, and when he thought the other party had fallen asleep, Anna's voice rang in his ears again.
"I am a witch."
"Um."
"Sister Wendy told me that witches can't have children," Anna whispered, "you will encounter a lot of trouble in the future."
"I'm not afraid of them," Roland replied affirmatively. "In fact, compared to the third upcoming Battle of Divine Will, all this is nothing." Originally, he was still considering using the system to solve the problem of heirs. But the information brought by Agatha completely broke expectations. The war that will determine the fate of mankind is just around the corner. If the devil cannot be defeated, all kingdoms will be completely wiped out. Compared with this, the issue of inheritance is not worth caring about at all.
Thinking of this, he paused, "Actually, I was a little worried before."
"worry about what?"
"I'm afraid you will use this reason to reject me."
"Why," Anna wondered, "I want to be with you, whether it's a witch or not."
Hearing her answer, Roland couldn't help laughing. That's right, she's been like this since she knew Anna... Straight-forward, never beating around the bush, and she'll show herself what she thinks. In her, there will never be a misunderstanding like "I'm doing it for you, but I just don't tell you" like a Korean drama. I think too much.
Chatting and chatting, Roland felt his body energized again, and Anna also noticed his change, kissed his neck, turned over and climbed on top of him...
The night is still long.
…
The next day, Roland got up extra late, and he yawned and opened his eyes until the sun climbed to the top of the castle.
Looking at the pillow, he couldn't help but startled slightly. Anna had disappeared. Could it be that... what happened last night was just his dream? He leaned down and breathed a sigh of relief, only to see a few strands of long flaxen hair on the pillow, and a faint fragrance came from the side of the quilt.
"What are you doing?" Anna's voice suddenly sounded above her head.
Roland raised his head and felt embarrassed - the way he was sniffing on the pillow just now was really unattractive, "Cough, I'm counting how many hairs you lost. Uh, why did you get up?"
"I'm going to bring you breakfast." She put the plate in her hand on the bedside table, looking a little unnatural in her movement. "I didn't call you when I woke up and saw that you were sleeping soundly."
"Sorry," Roland said embarrassedly, "I should have prepared this for you." After tossing around several times last night, even if the witch's recovery ability is outstanding, I'm afraid it will be quite uncomfortable at the moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about," Anna chuckled softly, "you are a prince."
He shook his head, stopped talking, and pulled her into his arms. After hugging for a while, she patted Roland on the back, "Okay, since you're up, eat breakfast quickly. I still have work to do today."
"A few days off?"
"No," Anna said seriously, "We still have devils to deal with. Soraya and Miss Agatha are working so hard, I can't slack off." She smiled slightly, "You too... Roland."
…
After kissing Anna goodbye, the prince came to the office briskly, opened the door, and unexpectedly saw Tilly sitting at the table waiting for him.
"Good morning," he nodded to each other, "…what's the matter?"
"It's almost noon now," Tilly smiled, "Also, you seem to have had a good dream."
"Yes, yes?" Laura couldn't help touching the corner of her mouth.
"Of course, my face is almost full of laughter," she shrugged, then put away her smile, "I'm here to bid you farewell this time."
Roland was taken aback, "Farewell? Are you going back to Sleeping Island?"
"I've been here for a long time. Although I have been in contact with the fjord by letters, I have to go back after all. Now that the evil moon is over, I have completed the purpose of this trip." She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, " Rest assured, even across the sea, I will fully support you against the church and the devil."
"Can't we move to the Western Region?" Roland made his last effort to retain him. "There is a lot of free land on the south bank of the Chishui River, which can fully accommodate all the witches."
"We've already discussed this issue," Tilly sighed softly, "It's not a matter of residence."
It seems that she still made up her mind, Roland reluctantly thought, although this is a manifestation of political maturity and a sense of leadership responsibility, but it is not good news for him, "Then let's go last week, I'm good for the gorge. The witch of the bay prepares something."
"Oh?" Tilly turned around, "What is it?"
"Books, courseware, and some exercises," he said, clasping his fingers. "It will save you the trouble of transcribing and enhance the learning effect. In addition, bring a few revolvers with you in case you encounter God's punishment. The enemy of the stone can also play a role in self-defense. In addition, you need to carry two steam engines, whether it is pumping water for irrigation or diverting water to dry salt, it is very convenient."
"I see..." Tilly tilted her head and said, "Thank you."
"In addition, there is also the city's founding day." Roland said word by word, "I hope that on that day, you can witness the establishment of this Neverwinter City with me."
