Chapter 478 Witness
After the clouds and rain, Anna rested on Roland's arm, leaning against his side like a cat.
"Your Highness, it's so nice to meet you..." After a long time, her breathing returned to calmness and she murmured softly.
"Call me Roland," he slowly played with the other person's long hair and smiled. "There are no outsiders here. I have never heard you call me by my first name."
"Luo... Lan."
"Be good," he scratched Anna's ear, making her laugh before sighing, "Actually... I should say this. Before, I couldn't imagine meeting such an outstanding girl like you. "
"Not even in the palace?"
"Nowhere," Roland shook his head slightly. "Sometimes when I think about it, I even feel a sense of unreality."
Ana was silent for a moment and leaned closer, "I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."
This sentence instantly brought back his memories, and he couldn't help but recall that she had said this to him before.
"Live like a normal person...I don't care, I just want to stay with His Highness, that's all."
"Are you dreaming? I'm not going anywhere."
"Yes," Roland ran his silky hair down and stroked the other person's smooth back, "You are right by my side."
Emotions are so wonderful, he thought to himself. It was a conversation that was obviously meaningless, but it made people feel extremely warm inside, as if they were about to melt.
The silence lasted longer this time, and when he thought the other party had fallen asleep, Anna's voice rang in his ears again.
"I'm a witch."
"Um."
"Sister Wendy told me that witches cannot 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 upcoming third battle of divine will, all of this is nothing." Originally, he was still considering using the system to solve the problem of heirs. But the information Agatha brought completely broke expectations. The war that will determine the fate of mankind is very close at hand. If the devil cannot be defeated, all kingdoms will be completely wiped out. In comparison, the issue of inheritance is not worth worrying 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 you are a witch or not."
Hearing her answer, Roland couldn't help but laugh. Yes, Anna has been like this since she met her... she is straightforward, never mince words, and will express whatever she thinks to herself. With her, there will never be a misunderstanding like "I'm doing it for your own good, but I just won't tell you" like in Korean dramas. She thinks too much.
As they chatted, Roland felt his body become energetic again. Anna also noticed his changes, kissed his neck, turned over and climbed on top of him...
The night is still long.
…
The next day, Roland got up extremely late. He didn't yawn and open his eyes until the sun climbed to the top of the castle.
Looking at the pillow, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. Anna was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that... everything that happened last night was just his dream? He leaned down and then breathed a sigh of relief. He saw 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 suddenly felt embarrassed - the way he was lying on the pillow sniffing just now was really unsightly. "Ahem, I'm counting how many hairs you lost. Uh, why are you up?"
"I went to bring you breakfast," she placed the plate in her hand on the bedside table, looking a little unnatural in her actions, "I saw you sleeping soundly when I woke up, so I didn't call you."
"Sorry," Roland said sheepishly, "I should have prepared these for you." After going through several troubles last night, even the witch's recovery ability was outstanding, but she was probably quite uncomfortable at the moment.
"What are you talking about?" Anna chuckled, "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 and said, "Okay, now that you're up, eat your breakfast quickly. There's still work to do today."
"Don't you want to rest for a few more days?"
"No," Anna said seriously, "We still have devils to deal with. Soraya and Miss Agatha have worked so hard, so 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 was surprised to see Tilly sitting at the table, waiting for him.
"Good morning," he nodded to the other party, "...what's the matter?"
"It's almost noon now," Tilly said with a smile, "Besides, you seem to have had a good dream."
"Yes, yes?" Laura couldn't help but touch the corners of her mouth.
"Of course, I'm almost smiling," she shrugged, then put away her smile, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Roland was stunned, "Farewell? Are you going back to Sleeping Island?"
"I have been here for a long time. Although I have been in contact with the fjord through letters,... I still have to go back after all. Now that the evil month has ended, I have completed the purpose of this trip." She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. "Don't worry, even across the sea, I will fully support you in your fight against the church and the devil."
"Can't you move to the Western Region?" Roland said in a last-ditch effort to stay. "There is a large area of free land on the south bank of the Chishui River, which can fully accommodate all the witches."
"We have already discussed this issue," Tilly sighed, "it's not a matter of where you live."
It seems that she has made up her mind, Roland thought helplessly. Although this is a sign of political maturity and leadership responsibility, it is not good news for him. "Then wait a week before leaving, so that I can help you." The witch of Bay prepares something."
"Oh?" Tilly turned around, "What is it?"
"Books, courseware, and some exercises." He clapped his fingers and said, "This will save you the trouble of copying and enhance your learning effect. In addition, bring a few revolvers in case you encounter God's punishment. It can also play a role in self-defense against the enemies of the stone. In addition, two steam engines are also needed, which is very convenient whether it is pumping water for irrigation or diverting water for drying salt."
"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." (To be continued.)
