After listening to Livya's story, Roland couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

The story is not very complicated. As the commander of the border defense army, Goron Wimbledon goes to Hanfeng Ridge every year to assist the church in fighting the Demon Moon. During this period, he met the drinker Livya while having fun in the tavern. The two fell in love after a while.

Of course, as Livya's identity, it is almost impossible to marry into the palace. Goron did not dare to make a statement, but he secretly bought a house in the town as their secret love nest. Roland was not sure how true their relationship was. However, in my memory, Goron did not find other lovers in the king's capital, and the marriage between the nobles was rejected. There were even rumors that the eldest prince liked men's style, which was indeed a bit incredible for an adult royal family.

The secret letter handed over by Livya was even more terrifying, and Goron seemed to insist on marrying the civilian witch as queen. It would be fine if he just spoke verbally, but he also left behind written evidence. If it was leaked, Wimbledon III would never give him a good look.

However, the good times did not last long. Since the news that the eldest prince was sentenced to death by Tifeko reached the northern border, Livya's peaceful life was soon broken. The misfortune followed one after another. First, the guards left by Goron left without saying goodbye, and then the house was stolen. She had no choice but to return to the tavern where she had worked before and became a drink-mate again.

As a result, it was not over yet. The tavern owner seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with her sudden departure before. He began to touch her, and then threatened and tempted her to force her into the room.

In short, Livya's life has been extremely bad over the past six months. The boss's wife dared not complain about her husband, and all her anger was poured on her nominally maid. The boss mostly turned a blind eye to her and sometimes even joined in bullying her.

Of course, Roland would not blame her for not being firm enough in her will. As an ordinary person who has no support, there are so many ways to make her surrender. After all, survival is the first requirement. In addition, the disappearance of the guards and the subsequent theft were probably not accidental. Those who can clearly know her place of hiding money and act decisively when she is not here are probably internal thieves.

"So what do you want me to help you?"

He had no friendship with Goron, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the fourth prince was half an enemy. The reason why he decided to help the other party was just because Lifuya could endure it all the way and insist on waiting for the opportunity to save herself, her character was already worthy of praise.

What's more, for Roland today, such a small thing is just a slight effort.

As for the delicious dumpling set, he had never thought about it.

He swears!

"I want to leave the tavern... Your Majesty," she whispered, "Can you help me find a new job?"

"Are you sure you still want to stay in the North? If the tavern owner is unforgettable to you, he will not let you go easily." Roland spread his hands. He did not intend to intervene in such civil disputes in person. It would be too cheap. "You can follow the fleet to the West and work there, and there will be no shortage of food or houses."

Livya hesitated and his voice became lower, "Your Majesty...I, I want to stay here."

"I think she is afraid of you." The nightingale muttered in his ears, "For ordinary people, her appearance is at least half of Itise's level, and it is normal for the tavern owner to covet her beauty."

"Nonsense," Roland responded lip-syncingly, then nodded, "Okay, I will notify Duke Calvin to send someone to pick you up to Eternal Night City. If you are worried that you will be late today, Sean can find you a hotel to spend the night."

"I will never forget your kindness, your majesty," she said again, "but... I must go back today."

"It's okay," Roland raised his eyebrows and looked at Sean, "Send this lady a ride."

When Livya walked to the door, he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you ever had a child with Goron...?"

She paused and turned around after a while and said, "Sorry, Your Majesty...I couldn't leave anything for him."

...

When the guard took her out of the study, Nightingale appeared, "The last word she said was lying."

"Well, you can see," Roland curled her lips, "She is not a person who is good at hiding it, and this will explain why she was coerced by the tavern owner."

"Because of the child?"

"The owner of the tavern should know that the one who took her away was the eldest prince Goron and Wimbledon. He also knew very well that if this kind of thing made Tifeko discover, the child would definitely be dead. In order to preserve the crystallization of her love with Goron, Livya could only accept the other party's conditions. I guess that's probably what happened."

"Do you need me to inquire?" asked Nightingale.

Roland stared at her for a long time and gradually raised the corner of her mouth, "Are you worried that I, like Tifeco, would I, plan to bury this secret forever? Even Duke Ryan's family is still under house arrest in Wudong City. Don't worry, I will not attack these innocent people."

He himself did not like the ancient kings who implicated the slogan of killing the roots, not to mention the illegitimate son born to a civilian woman who did not pose any threat to the throne.

"If it is an order you said in person, I will execute it no matter what it is," said Nightingale slowly.

"I get it," Roland grabbed her hand and placed it on his shoulder, "Then... let's rub it for me."

************************

Livya returned to the wooden house where the migrants temporarily lived, and the sound of footsteps alarmed the sleeping baby.

“Wow”

The child started crying.

"Damn it, tell him to shut up!" The boss's roar came from the inner room, "Otherwise I'll stuff him into the toilet and throw it into the silent river!"

"Hug, sorry, I'll calm the child down right away."

Livya didn't care about the coolness of the night in Gou Valley, and hurriedly took off her muddy skirt and held the baby in her arms. The little guy clinged to it with a perfect fit and began to find a source of food.

She breathed a little relieved.

The boss hasn't come back yet, he finally has a bet right.

Since leaving Hanfeng Ridge, his temper has become more and more irritable, and he has devoted most of his energy to the local taverns and casinos, even touching her much less. It is precisely because of this that Livya dared to sneak out of the wooden house after nightfall and go to the castle to beg Goron's younger brother to help her.

She neither dared to reveal the existence of the child nor dared to follow the other party to the West, which was the king's territory. If His Majesty wanted to be unfavorable to the child, she would be unable to resist at all.

Livya gently stroked his head, and under the dim moonlight, she could see the silver threads above his head, which were the symbol of Wimbledon's bloodline.

Unfortunately, Ge Long couldn't wait until this moment. When his letter from home was sent to Hanfengling, she realized that she was pregnant with the prince's child.

After eating and drinking, the baby let out a satisfied hum and soon fell asleep again.

Livya lowered her head and kissed the baby's forehead.
