He was indeed very curious. He had a feeling that Bills attitude towards him had always been different. He was overly enthusiastic, as if the two of them had been friends for a long time even without talking much.

Zhou Jing pretended to be excited and patted his chest, Hey, what kind of friends are those? Theyre just trying to curry favor with me! I can feel that youre different from them!

Hearing this, Roman could not help but fall into deep reflection.

What did I do wrong to make you think that Im not currying favor with you?

Im clearly trying to please you too. How is it different?

Without waiting for Roman to respond, Zhou Jing suddenly sighed and added,

And for some reason, I felt close to you the moment I see you. Perhaps its because of our looks. Ive always felt that were very similar.

Roman couldnt help but look down at his big belly and then at Bill, who resembled a little fatty.

Putting aside their looks, the both of them did look quite similar

Roman held back his speechlessness. He did not intend to argue with a drunkard. He echoed, The first time I saw you, I actually felt a sense of familiarity. I was thinking that if only I had a brother as capable as you. Im very happy to be able to make friends with someone like you.

Haha, its good to chat with you!

Zhou Jing gave him a thumbs up.

At this moment, he suddenly sighed, Unfortunately, by the time youre old and no longer the Privy Chancellor, we wont be able to meet again.

......

Why do you say that? Roman was surprised.

Anger appeared on Zhou Jings drunken face, as if he could not control his emotions.

When youre old and step down as a Privy Chancellor, you wont need to live in the Golden Castle any more. However, I can only stay in the Golden Castle for the rest of my life. Even if theres only a thin wall between us, we wont be able to see each other.

The royal family locked me in the castle and asked me to marry into their family. In the end, they just wanted to deprive me of my freedom. Im not even allowed to leave the city alone. Who knows if it will be worse in the future?

Now, theyre insisting that I marry a member of the royal family. Who knows if the wife I marry will also monitor me next time like that group of guards? Although the King painted a beautiful picture, the truth is that Im actually still an outsider!

He even said that he wanted me to inherit his family, but he just wanted to tie me up here and use my child in the future as a hostage. The King promised me many benefits and felt that he could buy my freedom and make me willingly be imprisoned Yes, I love money and fame, but I dont want to be a tool for the rest of my life.

However, now, even if Im unwilling and regret it, I can only obediently accept their arrangements like a puppet and be manipulated by them. I cant even make a decision about my own marriage! Perhaps Ill only be able to regain my freedom when Im so old that I cant walk anymore. But at that time, whats the point?

Zhou Jing spoke from the bottom of his heart in Bills tone, indicating that he actually knew his situation very well.

Romans expression changed as he shouted, Bill, youre drunk!

Zhou Jing immediately jolted. He instantly sobered up as if he had woken up from a dream and realized that he had said something treasonous.

He deliberately became terrified and stammered,

Im just spewing nonsense. Dont tell the King Im just an ordinary person. Im powerless to resist. If I have to be a tool, so be it. At least I dont have to worry about food and clothing. Anyway, after the marriage, Ive resigned myself to my fate. This is it for the rest of my life. Theres no other hope.

Dont worry, were friends. I wont tell anyone but dont say such things to outsiders!

Roman stood up and gave a stern warning.

Bro, thats enough. Do you really think youre a loyal subject Zhou Jing secretly rolled his eyes.

In the past few months, Roman had not taken action. It was obvious that he was hesitant and worried about the risk.

Zhou Jing deliberately said this to give Roman a clearer and firmer signal that he could truly fight for him without worry and urge Roman to hurry up.

Seeing Romans uncertain expression, Zhou Jing secretly curled his lips, but his face showed regret and helplessness for saying the wrong thing. He tried his best to get up, as if he was guilty.

Sorry for disturbing you for so long. I should

go.

With that, he patted his face to sober himself up before walking towards the door.

Roman looked at Zhou Jings back, his heart in turmoil.

All this time, he had been having someone test Bills credibility, and there was no problem at all. He had basically ruled out the possibility that Bill was a pawn for the King to fish out those uprisers.

Now, Bill had revealed his thoughts in front of him, expressing his hatred and powerlessness towards the royal familys restrictions on freedom He had already fulfilled all the conditions for him to fight for this person!

The only thing he wasnt sure about was whether Bill was just talking or if he really had the guts to change the situation and was willing to pay the price.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Just as Zhou Jing was about to touch the doorknob, Roman finally made up his mind.

Master Bill, if youre really unwilling, I might be able to help you.

Zhou Jing turned around with a confused expression, What are you helping me with?

Roman said slowly, So long as youre not someones tool, you dont have to be manipulated like a puppet and regain your freedom.

Zhou Jing deliberately froze on the spot.

At this moment, Roman said in a low voice, However, it depends on what you can give up for freedom. If you escape the control of the royal family, the wealth, power, and status you have now will disappear and turn into hostility towards you.

W-What are you talking about? Zhou Jing pretended to be shocked.

Youve already heard it. Roman put away his amiable smile and nodded calmly, I have the ability to help you, but if you dont dare to accept such a price, its better for you to live your current life obediently. Its more suitable for you.
