Her real brother.
Her real … brother? How could this be possible?
Tilly held the letter in a daze, but her mind was completely unable to concentrate. The thoughts in her mind were like a tide rolling over and over.
Among the five children of her father, Wimbledon III, Gerald, Timothy and Garcia were born earlier, so they belonged to the same circle. By the time Roland was born, the youngest, Garcia, was already six years old, so naturally, she didn't play with him anymore. It was reasonable to say that she should have formed another circle with Roland, but … in fact, this was not the case.
Her brother yearned for her two brothers and tried to integrate into their circle, but the result was that he was often the one being bullied. This led to Roland's character becoming distorted and irritable. Of course, he didn't dare to vent his anger on Gerald and the others, so he could only vent it on himself.
For example, he instigated her to steal her father's crown. After being rejected, he would inevitably become angry and humiliate her, and sometimes he would even fight with her. Later, when her father found out, he taught her a lesson and restrained himself a lot, but he still did all kinds of small tricks to intimidate her.
These things may not have been understandable at that time, but now in retrospect, Tilly only felt that it was quite ridiculous and … childish.
Until the age of ten, she found an earthworm broken into several pieces in her beloved shoe. Unable to bear it, she finally decided to fight back. She called Roland, and when he opened his mouth to threaten her, she directly stuffed the earthworm into his mouth. Since then, he had never taken the initiative to provoke her, and she was also unwilling to pay attention to her brother.
After reaching adulthood, Roland still didn't change, and even became worse. She often heard about his debauchery. In the rumors of the nobles, he was irritable, mean, ignorant and incompetent, and could be regarded as the most unlike a noble. Apart from his royal status, he had nothing. Regarding this evaluation, Tilly deeply agreed … She also knew that his irritable and irritable behavior was just a facade, in order to cover up his biggest weakness, timidity and cowardice.
However, such a person would actually stand on the side of witches, shelter a group of people known as the devil's minions, and even become enemies with the church?
Tilly didn't know what to say.
"Tilly, Tilly?" It was not until Ashes shook her twice that she came back to her senses.
"I'm fine, it's just a little … unbelievable," she shook her head, "Sylvie said that the Lord of Border Town is most likely the real Roland Wimbledon, and not someone controlled or replaced by a witch."
"Hmm, that stupid (cough cough) guy who tried to touch me?" Ashes coughed twice. "He has indeed changed a lot. We haven't seen each other for a year, but apart from his appearance, I feel like I'm looking at a different person."
"Can you be more specific?"
Ashes tilted her head and thought for a long time. "I think … the biggest difference should be the cleanliness."
"Clean?"
"Whether it's the way you dress up … or the feeling you give off. He doesn't like jewelry like the other nobles. He doesn't have any gold, silver, or precious stones on him. " Ashes recalled, "Even his clothes are very common. They look relatively loose, without lace, ornaments, or gold. If it weren't for his hair color being too conspicuous, he would almost be no different from an ordinary person. But … he doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
"Does he look like a noble?" Tilly asked.
"No, he doesn't look like a noble at all," Ashes curled her lips. "There is no noble who is clean. If it's not a pool of stagnant water, then it's covered with mud. As for him … I don't know the specifics, but in short, he gives people a good feeling. "
"It's hard to believe that you're speaking for him."
"Uh, I just want to answer your question seriously."
Tilly exhaled, it seemed that her brother had changed a lot, but in the end, what had led to his transformation? Or was it because of some reason that she couldn't detect that he had unknowingly changed into another person?
The 5th Princess suddenly remembered Roland's first letter. For this reason, I must destroy the entire Church, turn the saying that witches are evil into dust, and save all the people from their foolishness and ignorance. This is a long process, and I need more of your assistance. As for what made me make this decision, and what made me no longer as indifferent to everything as I was in the past, I can slowly talk about these trivial matters in detail when I have the opportunity.
Perhaps only when I see him in person will I know the real reason.
Withdrawing her thoughts, Tilly shifted her gaze back to the letter.
The second half of the letter was about what Sylvie had seen and heard in Border Town.
The original reason why Roland had chosen her was to explore the mineral resources, but in the North Slope Mine, she had found a large number of God's Stones of Retaliation. It turned out that this kind of stone that could suppress the witches' ability was the same as other ores, growing from the ground. So, the Holy City of Hermes must also control such a vein, which could produce a steady stream of God's Stones of Retaliation.
Further down, another message caught her attention.
It was a weapon that could shoot iron balls and bolts from an iron tube. It was extremely powerful and was accompanied by a deafening roar... Although Maggie and Ashes had both mentioned such a thing, it was the first time that she had seen such a detailed description of it. There was even a hand-drawn diagram at the bottom of this paragraph.
"Oh? So this is what the thing that shot me looks like, "Ashes moved her head closer to Roland's." Since he's an ally, you can ask him to send a batch of weapons to Sleeping Island in his reply, saying that it's to defend against the Church. If he is not willing … hmph, this ally is probably not as reliable as you think. "
"Allies don't mean that they are defenseless," Tilly said with a smile, "This kind of weapon is obviously his foundation, how can he easily give it to others. This kind of test will only destroy the trust that was built up with great difficulty, and I didn't write Molly and Wind Whisper in the list of witches' abilities that I gave him. Moreover, this winter we will go to Border Town anyway, when the time comes it will be easier to talk face to face, won't it? "
"Well," Ashes spread out her hands and said, "Whatever you say."
Tilly smiled and continued to read the letter.
When her line of sight swept to the end of the letter, she could not help but be stunned.
Roland actually invented a kind of underwear for women's breasts, and gave it as a gift to every adult woman in the Witch Union? This was simply too preposterous! One must know that giving intimate clothes is something that only lovers do, how can he wait? Tilly suddenly remembered that when he was in King's City, it seemed that he had also given corsets to some noble ladies, and some of them had even been directly thrown in his face, becoming a laughing stock among the nobles.
This is indeed something that he would do!
Tilly suddenly felt conflicted, on the one hand, he was more in line with the image in her memory, but on the other hand, she felt that it would be better if he didn't.
