Chapter 89:What?They Went To Gamble
Amelia narrowed her eyes. "And what’s that?"
"I want a child with strong potential," Roland said plainly.
She blinked, stunned by the bluntness. "Don’t you already have children?"
"I do," Roland admitted. "But my wives are only around 1st and 2nd rank. The highest is a 4th-rank mage."
He looked down for a moment, then met her gaze again. "If I want to leave behind a strong legacy... It’s hard with that. If I force the children to use potions or methods too early, it might hurt their bodies or shorten their lives."
Amelia stared at him in disbelief. Her mouth fell open, and her voice rose slightly.
"You..... How can you do that.You’re too careless! Don’t you understand how dangerous that is?" she scolded. "You can live for 200 years, but what about them? Your wives? Your children? Can you watch them die one by one while you keep living?"
Roland scratched his head, confused. ’Wasn’t this about marriage? Why is she suddenly scolding me?’
"Senior... I was just around 4th rank when I married," he said meekly.
"Who knew after years I would reach here?"
Amelia’s lips parted again. She was too shocked to speak for a few seconds. After a moment, she took a breath and looked at him with a thoughtful expression.
"I’m willing to go to Apus City and teach," she said. "But as for marrying you... I need to watch you first. I want to see how you govern your people. I can’t just agree right away. And if you try anything vile or forceful... I’ll kill myself."
