She probably understood.
"Was the woman forced?"
"It can be said to be voluntary." Roland called the servant over and filled the wine glass.
Lani was a little concerned about this statement, but in fact she already had the answer in her mind.
She just didn't want to be arranged into a marriage and become a pawn, so she rebelled against the identity of the god-man and refused to follow Shuangzhi's arrangements.
And, her brother is doing the same thing.
The girl picked up the cup and took a sip, "I want to go to the royal city."
"Go find Lacade?" Roland was silent for a moment before he realized that he shouldn't say too much.
Is this the right thing to do?
This is certainly true, but it may lead to less than pleasant results.
The young man took the wine glass, and the smell of wine broke the silence between the two people.
He said, "That woman is from a different race. She will have a better life if she follows Lakkad, so it's normal for her to make that choice."
"........"
Lani knew very well that he was right and that this was a mutual agreement to some extent.
There is little love at the border.
The majority of marriages are those that weigh the pros and cons.
She didn't say anything else, and simply called the servant to bring a few more bottles of wine.
But the two of them still shared the cup, and no one broke this little "accident".
The crystal lamp was emitting light. Roland actually had no addiction to alcohol. He simply regarded it as a drink. As a god, he could not get drunk.
The moonlight was hazy, but Lani was a little drunk. There was a blush on her face, her eyes were a little blurry, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders.
"Will she be happy in the future?"
"Probably not going to be happy in the near future." Roland paused and picked up the cup.
"What about the long term?"
Lani held his hand, tilted the glass towards herself, pressed her cherry-colored lips against the glass, and the red wine flowed into her mouth.
She let go of his hand and said, "Think of a solution using your special channels?"
"Under normal circumstances, I should be happy and have a lovely daughter."
Roland tasted the red wine carefully. "There is a knight who is willing to protect her, guarding a mansion and doing unforgivable things."
“You are so…”
After listening to his words and telling her what happened at that time, Lani suddenly laughed softly.
"It's a heinous crime. Why don't you just kill her, just like you killed Servais?"
"Because nothing has happened yet. She is just an ordinary dancer."
Roland's body was relaxed, he lay back and leaned against the back of the chair.
"Servis has already done it. Those perverted behaviors make me sick just watching them."
"That's true." Lani closed her eyes and thought back to Lakkad and the dancer. "But shouldn't marriage be based on love?"
"Where is there so much love in the world?"
The blond young man poured the wine, "Love is a luxury, my princess."
"indeed."
She glanced at the man next to her, folded her hands over her chest, and her eyes showed recognition.
Love is a luxury.
She couldn't tell Roland.
I like you.
No matter how willful she was, as a princess of the Kalia royal family, she could never utter this sentence.
It seems...it's not bad to be your sister.
But I don't think Marenia and Melina would agree.
The tangled and gloomy emotions are hidden in the heart, but on the surface one has to pretend to be indifferent.
She opened her eyes and said, "I've decided. I still want to go to the royal city to meet Lakkad and that woman."
"You don't want to be a backup for that woman and bring her to the magic academy? Give her another choice? She has given up on her own. It's impossible to save someone who doesn't save himself."
Roland straightened up and said, "Even if you give her a choice, she won't choose you in the end. That woman has her own ideas."
"I will not."
Lani pursed her lips and said, "I have a problem that I can't figure out. I want to see them."
"What's the problem?" Roland asked.
She immediately responded, “What does an unhappy marriage look like?”
"Isn't this obvious?"
Roland propped his chin up and realized that Miss Lani's first half of her life was indeed very happy.
At first, Radagon really wanted to live a good life with Lenara, so he brought even a dog and a sewing needle.
Presumably, when Lani was a child, her parents loved each other and her brother cared about her.
He answered casually, "Unhappy marriages can be found everywhere, happy families are all alike, but every unhappy person is unhappy in his own way."
"Who said that?" she asked.
"It should be a novelist named Tolstoy, but I can't quite remember." Roland shrugged.
"never heard of that."
The red-haired girl looked at the two empty bottles and realized she couldn't drink any more.
She said, "Brother Lakkad has really changed a lot since he was a child."
"Time, power, and money will change a person. This is normal."
Roland didn't really want to discuss these issues with her because once they started, they would never end.
He interrupted Lani's thoughts and asked, "When do you plan to go to the royal city? Don't take it too seriously. Just think of it as going to see your brother. You haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"Well, it's been a long time."
The remaining wine in the glass swayed slightly, and a drop of red wine crawled down from the mouth of the glass. She finally understood why she had to meet Lacarde.
She wasn't about those things at all.
As Roland said, the woman was not oppressed by power, but by the environment she was in. Lacarde was the best choice.
Therefore, when she refused Roland's help, she was already volunteering.
She goes to meet Lakkad.
It is to verify one's own heart.
If we can be together even if we don’t like each other, then I want to be with the person I like.
What's wrong?
Her gaze became more determined, and her eyes fell on the blond young man. He smiled gently, as if he had been waiting for her.
"Wait a few days, I'll take care of everything and then go to the royal city."
"Do you need me to follow you?" Roland asked.
"no need."
She shook her head. "I want to see it with my own eyes. Don't worry. I won't do anything drastic. I'll just go see my brother after not seeing him for so long."
Just at this time, Malenia and Tolina came back.
"Ah? You guys are drinking!"
Chapter 108: Fen Lei
"Why are you drinking secretly?"
Tolina ran over and threw herself into Roland's arms, and he easily hugged her into his arms.
"You can't drink."
Roland tapped her head and said, "We are almost done talking about this."
"Yes."
Lani looked out the window. The moonlight and the golden tree's light were half and half. The faint light of the tree illuminated the sky. No matter who it was, when seeing the magnificent tree for the first time, they would be shocked.
She retracted her gaze and looked at the young man opposite her, "I'm going to sleep."
"Well, good night." Roland left with his two sisters. The last image in his memory was the girl in a white dress holding up an empty wine glass again.
He spent the night with Torina and Marenia and did not go to bed until dawn.
The next day, it was near noon.
Under the dim light of the golden tree, the red-haired girl held a teacup in her hand. On the table was bread, a piece of roasted beef, half a boiled egg and vegetables.
Roland ate a little with her, and after discovering Miss Dixie, she ate it all.
He looked towards the bedroom and asked, "Is Torina still awake?"
"No." Marennia shook her head, cut a piece of beef and put it into her mouth.
Unlike the other two, Tolina had never practiced combat skills and her physical fitness was totally inferior to theirs, so it was normal that she didn't wake up.
"Go to sleep. It's good for her." Roland ate a little "breakfast". It was already very late and it was almost time for lunch.
"Brother, I have to go back to the royal city in the afternoon."
Marenia put down her teacup, "I have an appointment with some people and need to go for training."
"Those warriors who are willing to follow you?" Roland's mind flashed with the image of the Zunfu Knight. He wondered how many of these warriors would become the Zunfu Knight in the end.
"Well, I want to interact with them more." A smile appeared on the girl's face. She must have met some nice people.
The armor of the Zunfu Knight is very beautiful. When Roland was an A-ti, he specially went to get a set.
I don’t know if I met Finlay.
He was a brave man who crossed the border alone and brought the unconscious Malenia back to the Holy Tree from Gaileed to recuperate.
He nodded, "Wait until Torina wakes up so I can take you back."
The two continued to eat, and when they were almost finished, the blonde loli walked out of the bedroom, yawning, squinting her eyes, and seemed to be half awake.
"Ah? Why didn't you call me when you were eating?" She rubbed her eyes, looked at the two people, suddenly her eyes widened, and she ran over.
"You have been sleeping all the time."
Roland brought the cutlery to her and said, "Marienia said she would go back in the afternoon. I will take you both off."
"No, I want to stay a few more days." Tolina acted coquettishly with him and sat in his arms.
"I can go back by myself." Marenya said softly.
Roland looked at Torina. She blinked and it seemed that she didn't plan to go back.
"It's okay, I'll see you off."
After breakfast, the three chatted for a while. Roland saw Marlenya off, while Torina stayed at the magic academy.
He and Marennia walked side by side in the corridor. It was quiet all around. It seemed like this was the first time they had been to such a quiet magic academy.
Although it is very quiet at night, there is still some noise. After the holidays, there is basically no one, and it is really silent.
I don't know who opened the window, the mist from the lake filled the corridor. The weather has been getting hotter recently, but there is always heavy fog.
