Do you all know the future?

Chapter 13 Alliance of Interests
The sky was falling. This had never happened in his previous life. For the first time, Roland realized the difficulty of changing the plot, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

After experiencing the hardships of his previous life, he is no longer the impulsive playboy he used to be, but he still finds it difficult to remain calm after hearing Diane's words.

"I'm not looking down on you. You should have confidence in your mother's beauty. It's just, it's just, how should I put it, like I explained to you, I can't have my cake and eat it too, right? How bad is that?"

Diane saw the complicated expression on Roland's face and thought he felt humiliated, so he quickly explained to him that he had not yet tried to find out how Roland knew their identities.

"Borrowing the Peifei family will allow you to achieve your goal of joining the ranks of the nobility more quickly and directly, without even worrying about whether your father is dead or alive. Sorry."

When talking about Roland's father, Diane was embarrassed to say it. If Roland hadn't said that his father would die, Diane wouldn't even dare to think about it, and it still felt a bit awkward to say it out loud.

"Nothing, old man, damn it!"

After hearing what his father said, Luo Lan seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger, and he cursed angrily.

"What a huge hatred! It's not that bad, it's not that bad..."

The relationship between the father and son was not good, and Diane was not very clear about it. She tried to persuade them to reconcile rather than separate.

"He's not my father anymore, Lord An. He really won't live long. I hope you can be my stepfather."

The two things Roland wanted to do most after his rebirth were to thwart his cultist father's conspiracy and to bring his mother and Diane together. He really, really wanted Diane to be his father.

This time he would no longer be awkward and hostile to Diane. This time he would be a loyal and good stepson.

"Although the Peifei family is descended from the Storm Goddess and has influence over the Queen, my mother, as the dean of the academy, also holds considerable influence. Furthermore, Lotina is a candidate saint of the church, and countless people aspire to marry her. Currently, no one dares to pursue my mother."

Realizing that Diane and others were considering issues of interest, and thinking of the god Diane worshipped, Roland also tried to persuade Diane with issues of interest.

"More importantly, if you obtain my mother, you will officially enter the ranks of the high nobility. Even if you become Miss Lotina's husband, you will not be accepted by the Breeze Church. You still need to gain the trust and test of the Queen."

Loran calmly analyzed that this was what he learned from Diane. No matter what happened, analyze the problem and solve it. There was no point in making a fuss.

"You always say your father is going to die. When will he die?"

Diane and the maid had discussed this before. They had even stated the pros and cons before going to bed yesterday. They only knew that Isabella had a crush on Queen Greta, but it was hard to say whether they could pursue her. Besides, she was a married woman, and it was unknown when it would be her turn to inherit the title.

Diane and the others are short of time and hope to cash in on the power immediately so that the maids can make the most of Tudor's prosperity to restore their own strength, rather than playing house games.

At this time, Eve is very important. As long as she can align her granularity with her mother-in-law, no one cares whether she can succeed with the so-called Lotina later. Anyway, the fastest way is to get a position. Diane and the others want to make progress too much.

"I don't know when he will die, but he is going to die..."

Roland said in an uncertain tone that it would take some effort to expose his father as a cultist, and the powerful Duke of Stuart would not be taken down so easily!
"Stop talking nonsense. Our church's rules don't have so many empty words. We need to be pragmatic and speak the truth. I really don't look down on your mother. I would marry her right now to inherit the title, but you just want me to wait. Your mother is not as good as Miss Lotina, whom I haven't met yet, although she is indeed beautiful and mature."

Diane said sincerely that he and Roland had formed a temporary alliance of interests and wanted to make things clear to avoid misunderstandings. He reiterated that he did not look down on Roland's mother, the dean of the beautiful legs, but gave up pursuing her for other reasons, and his tone was a little regretful.

"Lord An, you are right, but hear me out!"

When Loran heard Diane's refusal, it overlapped with the Diane in his memory. It was exactly the Diane in his impression, who took people's feelings into consideration, but would not compromise on something.

For example, if she handed him over, even though his biological parents had given up on him, Diane would not hand him over because she was sure that he was not a cult member.

"Then please convince me."

Diane looked straight into Roland's eyes, wanting to hear what excuse Roland could give to convince her to give up Eve's help.

"My dad is a cultist!"

Roland first looked out the window. The carriage moved slowly and the scenery outside the window receded. Then his gaze turned to the maid beside Diane, and finally turned to Diane and spoke slowly.

"what?"

Diane's face was full of question marks, and the maid's eyes narrowed slightly because they heard important news.

"That's right. My father, Duke Stuart, is a cultist. He will hold a ritual to worship the evil god at my mother's birthday party to release the evil god's power."

Luo Lan talked about what happened in his previous life. At that time, he thought it was just an ordinary sacrifice to the evil god, and that someone with bad intentions was framing his family. He didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

After that, there were more and more cases of cultists sacrificing themselves, and in the end all the evidence proved that he was a cultist. The evidence became more and more sufficient, and in the end even Roland began to suspect that he was controlled by an evil god.

"This, this... a cultist, what does he want?"

The melons were bigger and bigger, and Diane felt that his little heart couldn't take it. He was full after eating all the melons, and his heart was not in good condition these two days.

"Who can understand a cult? A beautiful wife, a high position. Maybe I'm just not up to the mark."

Luo Lan just didn't believe it in his previous life. On the contrary, Diane, who was once his enemy but had always helped him, was very suspicious. He chose to believe his own father, and then exploded.

"Are you sure? Is this true? Does your mother know?"

Diane kept asking questions, and it was really hard to imagine whether Roland was lying to him. But Roland looked serious and didn't look like he was lying at all.

"I'm sure of that. I haven't told Mother yet because I don't have enough evidence and I'm afraid of alerting her. I'll tell her before her birthday party, and we'll go find the definitive evidence together!"

He suffered a loss in his previous life and reported the problem to his father, and was then badly cheated. Although his mother can be ruled out as a suspect, he is afraid that his mother's actions after knowing the truth will arouse his father's vigilance.

"No, your mother didn't tell you. Can you tell me?"

Diane was increasingly confused. What kind of trust did Roland have? His logic told him there was a trap, but his sixth sense convinced him otherwise.

"After all, we all share the same faith. I know Lord An is the Son of God. Now we are in the same boat. I have a deep devotion to the Lord."

In his heart, Roland accepted Diane as his stepfather, and the other party was blessed by God. Compared with others, Diane was the person he trusted the most.

"After taking care of my dad, my mom will be left alone. It will be too late to take action then. There will be too many competitors. My dad will also deal with her at the birthday party and tell her that you have no chance of winning her favor." Loran was also very concerned about pairing Diane with her mother and did not want to ruin the event of them developing feelings for each other.

Before the cultists sacrificed themselves, they most wanted to restrain their mother, who had angelic strength, so they trapped her when she went to try on the new necklace.

At this time, the mother was rescued by Diane, and finally the sacrifice at the birthday party was controlled, which did not cause a big impact and left some goodwill. That is why she frequently apologized to him afterwards, and as she apologized, she apologized herself to him.

Every time he targeted Diane, his mother would apologize. In the end, the entire aristocracy knew that Dean Isabella had found a lover, and even found a job for him.

Now that the two sides have met in advance, Luo Lan does not want to miss this opportunity to improve the favorability between them.

"Then tell her. This kind of cult is no small matter. If we don't handle it well, Istaya might end up like this."

The contents of yesterday's newspaper flashed through Diane's mind, and she suddenly felt that there were dangers everywhere around her, as if there were cultists everywhere.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. I also want to convince my mother. Otherwise, she won't believe what a playboy like me says."

Speaking of this, Luo Lan felt a little helpless. He had been a bit dissolute before, and now that he was reborn, it was very difficult to make his mother believe that he was against his father.

"In that case, I understand. I'll try my best. Your father is so good at hiding things, he won't be exposed easily. No one will believe he's a cultist, so you'll need solid evidence to catch him."

Diane looked at the maid and asked for her opinion. When she heard that Isabella's husband was about to die, it seemed that the conditions were not bad either.

Is it better to take a guaranteed bet or to take a chance? Diane had no idea until she received a look from the maid. Diane understood and reluctantly agreed.

It was purely profit-driven, without any goodwill. When Roland heard Diane agreed, his face immediately relaxed. He thought his persuasion was successful, and Diane was willing to be his father.

"That's right. He doesn't know yet that I already know he's a cultist. This is the first time he's set up to catch him. After all, who would have thought that a person like him could be so corrupted."

"This is all due to the fall of Queen Greta. If she were still guarding the Abyss, there wouldn't be so many mortals in the material world being seduced by evil gods and demons."

After saying that, Loran sighed, and when talking about Queen Greta, he seemed very compassionate and regretful.

The spiritual world represented by gods and spiritual creatures needs to project power and hold rituals in the material world, such as sacrifices. Gods need faith, and evil gods need flesh and blood.

In addition to this, there are some channels, such as the abyss. The abyss is actually the projection of the spiritual realm in the material world, and it is the middle area between the two. Queen Greta previously suppressed the abyss to prevent the evil god's messenger, the demon, from passing through this channel.

"Is there still such a connection?"

Diane was stunned. Is this the butterfly effect?
Because Margaret no longer guards the abyss, the evil god's messengers are unscrupulous and pour out of the abyss in large numbers to confuse people.

"Lord An and Queen Greta are connected."

Loran asked suddenly, wanting to see Diane's reaction, but as if she had been warned yesterday, Diane didn't react at all.

"Yes, she made me a noble. Although I can no longer use it in Istaya, it still saves a lot of trouble when I come to Tudor."

Diane spoke using yesterday's character, maintaining a grateful look. A noble identity could solve many troubles, even if he didn't look like an Istaya.

"Not only are you canonized, you are also the heir to Queen Greta's legacy, right?"

Compared to the Son of God, the heir to the estate was nothing, so Roland could ask openly.

"Queen Greta's legacy?"

What's going on? Diane was a little confused. Where did Queen Greta get her inheritance? She was right next to them.

"My mother has noticed that your connection with Queen Greta is more than meets the eye. She feels that you seem to have inherited Queen Greta's legacy, and she wants to see if you are qualified to inherit it!"

Because of the trust she had given to Dai Anquan, Isabella could never have imagined that her son, who had previously called her the pride of the nobility, would actually stand on the side of an outsider to deal with her. Of course, it might also be that he was not an outsider but her stepfather.

"what?"

Diane only felt a chill coming over her. She made eye contact with the maid, who frowned slightly. Isabella's importance increased a little more.

"Isn't it? Whether it is or not, this is what Mom thinks. Lord An should remember to show it more."

Noticing the confusion in Diane's eyes, Roland didn't care whether Diane was really the heir to Queen Greta's estate. He had given her a proper reminder anyway.

"Lord Loran, are you too enthusiastic? Why do you want to marry your mother to the master so much?"

The maid who had been silent all this time spoke. She had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two like a sculpture, only maintaining eye contact with Diane. Now she took the initiative.

"I...I don't want to be controlled by my mother. If my mother gets married, she will no longer be qualified to manage the affairs of the Stuart family. I can be independent."

Loran took a deep breath and said that he couldn't help but act so early when he saw Diane being bullied yesterday, so he was not prepared enough. After thinking about all aspects of the problem all night, he had the answer to deal with it.

“The reason I chose Lord An is that I have no hatred towards my mother. I chose Lord An, the Son of God, because I hope my mother will also accept the glory of the Lord.

Secondly, I want to assist Lord An to accomplish great things. In order to show my loyalty to the Lord, my identity as a mother is just the right thing to do to help Lord An.

The third is selfishness. The divine descendants born from Lord An and my mother are also a support to our family, binding us more closely together."

The benefits were clearly defined at each level, and he did not neglect the maid. He knew that the maid was a strong person and the strong should be respected.

"You have accepted the Lord's test, so you shouldn't mind us asking a question. How did you know the deity that my master and I believe in? Our honored deity has yet to reveal her existence in the material world."

The maid's eyes revealed a cold light, and Roland felt a great pressure. He wanted to send the maid away yesterday because he was afraid that he would be exposed.

"I had a very long dream..."

Loran was ready to reveal part of the truth, otherwise he would not be able to explain how much he knew. At the same time, he had to hide his experience of trying to humiliate Diane. This time, he must not make this mistake again.
