He was kept away from public view and confined to his chamber near the war dogs' kennels. Through the influence of his mother he was allowed to live and have teachers, from many different places, come and give him lectures about the most diverse topics. Lectures that he would devour with rarely seen excitement, trying to learn all of his teachers knowledge before moving on to the next one. He knew that his protection was short lived and that soon some brother, uncle or cousin would come for his life. They had already tried before with poisons and plots, but Roland's wisdom and charm saved him every time. Growing up near the kennels made Roland to become extremely close with the war dogs that in turn grew to love Roland and to obey his orders promptly.
