Lily shook her head again and said softly, "No matter what you say, I will inform Roland. It's better for you to say it directly. This is an order, execute it."

Since the crown prince said so, the messenger naturally did not dare to object.

His eyes suddenly turned red and his voice was choked.

"The previous king was murdered!"

It was a shocking answer, but Roland and Lily were not too surprised.

With their political literacy, they had already guessed that things were not simple.

The messenger spoke incoherently, basically telling Lily all the information he knew under her questioning and guidance.

He was of low status and didn't know much information.

He was delivering a message for the prime minister.

In order to prevent the messenger from betraying him after being captured, the prime minister spoke in a very riddle-like manner.

Through these vague and ambiguous descriptions, Lily and Roland came to preliminary conclusions based on the limited information.

Based on the principle that whoever benefits is suspected, the person most suspected of murdering the previous king is naturally the eldest prince Green, who served as the temporary regent.

Prince Green was once the crown prince, but was disliked by the previous king because of his frivolous behavior.

However, each of his brothers was more outrageous than the other, and the late king could only choose Green, who was relatively human, from a group of unreliable princes.

However, after Lily grew up, the king's thoughts changed a little.

After the eldest prince made a mistake, he took decisive action, announced the eldest prince's ten faults, and deprived him of his status as crown prince.

According to the late king's idea, the eldest prince was the most reliable son besides Lily after all, so the late king did not demote him completely, but simply demoted him to the second in line of heir.

After listening to Lily's description, Roland stroked his forehead with one hand and couldn't help but complain:

"Although it may be a bit disrespectful to say this, I still want to say it. Throughout the long history of mankind, it is rare to see your father do such a thing."

Not only are they rare, they are almost non-existent.

Such absurd behavior has never been seen at the level of emperor or even king.

From being the first in line of succession to being the second in line, will Prince Green be grateful?

The second in line of succession cannot take the throne unless the first in line dies.

After this analysis, the answer is already obvious.

The eldest prince Green kept the death a secret in order to lure Lily back to her country.

As long as Lily is kept in the dark, Prince Green's killer will arrive as scheduled and send Princess Lily to death.

Then he would definitely cry and pretend to be heartbroken.

This simple performance is no problem for the royal family members.

As long as people can't provide evidence to prove that he is involved in this matter, he is innocent.

As long as he is innocent, he can ascend the throne as the second in line and then erase all traces of Princess Lily's existence.

In a few decades, who will still remember that there was a first-in-line heir?

Good calculation.

It's a pity that people are not as good as God.

Prince Green had calculated everything, except that he had not expected that Roland would be resurrected and be able to revive the dead messenger.

After all, resurrecting the dead is too outrageous and Green could never have imagined it.

Roland waved his hand and asked the palace maid to take the messenger to rest in the palace.

Although he believed that this person was loyal, he still had to be on guard against some things. By placing the messenger in the palace, he could at least make sure whether he was lying.

Lily's eyes were red, but she never cried out.

She just bit her lip and said softly: "Roland, don't tell my sister about this yet."

Roland nodded, then shook his head.

Lily was a little confused and looked at Roland in confusion.

"I promise you, but I don't agree."

Roland took the initiative to explain: "This is your country's internal affairs. I have no right to comment. But I don't think I should hide it from your sister."

"This kind of thing cannot be concealed at all. Rather than letting Her Highness Lucy feel resentful after the truth is exposed, it is better to tell her the truth openly."

Lily hesitated, but could only nod.

"I didn't hide anything from her, I just thought she was still young and she didn't understand these things."

Roland said with a serious expression: "She should understand, and she must understand. After all, she is a princess, and the legal heir besides you and Green."

He paused for a moment and said softly, "Although it may be a little rude to say this, if you and Green die together, Lucy will have a great chance of becoming the new king."

Lily sighed softly and said, "You are right. She must grow up. Roland, I have something to ask of you. I hope you can help me."

"You said."

"I want Lucy to stay with you."

Roland frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to go back and quell the rebellion by yourself?"

"Yes."

"Can you do it with only a few thousand guards around you?" Roland narrowed his eyes.

"Of course I can't rely on them alone, but I have supporters."

Lily's eyes gradually became sharper, she straightened her chest, and her voice became more confident.

"I don't believe that the soldiers of Oro would shoot arrows into the chest of the crown prince."

Roland couldn't help it. Did he think he was the emperor?

He teased unhappily, "Your Highness Lily, how many soldiers do you think know you?"

"this..."

Although she was very unhappy, Lily couldn't find any reason to refute.

Roland was right. This was a naked adventure for her, and the risk was extremely high.

Lily's eyes were unfocused and blank. Thinking of the bleak future and the father's love that she could clearly feel even though she didn't spend much time with him, she was overwhelmed with grief and could no longer hold up her pretended strength.

"But I have no choice. My direct lineage is all here. Although my father is old, he is in good health. To avoid danger, I usually don't dare to interact with the ministers."

"I would rather die on the road to suppressing the rebellion than be a coward."

Lily's face was filled with sadness and determination.

"Roland, if I fail, please take good care of my sister and make her give up on revenge. It's not like I don't have a chance of winning. In our country's history, those who rebelled rarely had a good ending."

"There must be many neutral people willing to support me. All I have to do is call on them to quell the rebellion together!"

Seeing Lily's stubborn expression, Roland felt sad and wondered why this was necessary.

He asked calmly: "Have you ever thought of asking me for help?"

"I..."

"The ink of the covenant we just signed is not even dry yet, and you want me to break it?"

Roland certainly wouldn't miss this kind of thing.

As long as he helps Lily get back the Kingdom of Oro, he will have the opportunity to unlock a basket of achievements and advance his epic achievements by a large margin.

How could he miss out on winning the system reward and reaching the peak of his life?

Volume 202: City of Freedom: Chapter : Problem Solver

To make the right decisions, you must have accurate intelligence.

The only useful information at the moment is that the old king is basically dead.

Even if he didn't die, he must have been controlled by Prince Green.

If he was really under control, the one who would most hope that he would pass away soon would be Roland.

Princess Lily was ambushed while she was a guest at Roland's place.

Roland had to help out both morally and logically.

I was a guest in his territory, and in the blink of an eye my home was gone. If this matter gets out, who would dare to come to his place?

If something goes wrong when coming to him, then doesn't that mean he is a jinx?

No, absolutely not!

When Lily entrusted her last words to him, he stopped Princess Lily without hesitation.

His image instantly became extremely tall in the eyes of the pitiful, helpless and bewildered Princess Lily.

However, Roland was thinking about how much he could achieve.

He vaguely felt that the key to unlocking Virgo lay here.

He is always willing to help others, but he never does business that would put him at a disadvantage.

After accepting the task, he first sent someone to send Lily back to the palace, and then summoned his important officials overnight to discuss countermeasures to the crisis.

Except for Feng Ling and Sandra who were still hanging on the tree, all the important officials in the capital came.

Even the Huron elders, who had been hiding, were arrested.

"You don't want the Kingdom of Gracia to be destroyed right after it was established, and the library in the capital to be destroyed, right?"

Roland only needed one sentence to make the old man who was leisurely sipping tea shake his head and sigh helplessly.

Although Roland felt that Huron had a way to preserve the library, he knew that the old man was a lazy person and he had to find a reasonable reason for him to join.

In the small conference hall, more than a dozen important people gathered together to start a high-level meeting.

The newly joined cabinet ministers are beaming with joy and look forward to making great achievements.

Granny's eyes were dull. She really had nothing to do during this period of time. Apart from chopping trees and eating delicious food which could bring her a little happiness, the rest of the time was extremely boring.

Participating in such a high-level meeting made her want to faint on the spot.

If Roland hadn't specifically asked her to participate, she would have definitely found an excuse to avoid it.

Melanice looked calm, but she felt a little uneasy inside.

She didn't think sending troops to the Kingdom of Oro was the right choice.

The reason is simple, the Oro Kingdom is much stronger than the Gracia Kingdom.

The power of the Oro Kingdom is very close to that of an empire and far exceeds that of an ordinary kingdom.

It is not difficult to defend against Oro's attack, but the difficulty of a long expedition is many times higher than defense. Can this battle really be fought?

She didn't believe that Roland didn't understand such a simple truth.

So, what exactly did Roland want to achieve by fighting this battle?

Melanice pondered for a long time, then her eyes lit up and she thought of the only explanation.

He was after the princess' delicate body and the entire Oro Kingdom behind her.

Since she could accept Janice and the others, Melanice could also accept Princess Lily. Her little brain was working at full speed, and she began to think about the possibility of annexing the Kingdom of Oro through Princess Lily.

Roland didn't know what his beloved wife was thinking, but he was very pleased to see Melanie in deep thought.

Although Melanie's understanding of politics was rather crude, she did not give up and kept thinking about it.

No matter how slow the progress is, it is good to be able to make progress.

Roland had very low expectations of Melanie and was as tolerant of her as he was of a child who got the lowest score on an exam.

Being stronger than Granny is considered victory.

Seeing Granny's unfocused eyes, Roland sighed inwardly. The political struggle of the human race was too advanced for the barbarians.

But he didn't blame Granny.

Just like no one expects elementary school students to be able to do calculus.
